Good afternoon, gang!

Thank you to everyone who dropped by while I was helping out at Anthrocon. It's always nice to check in with some artists in-person, and it's a great time for tableside enrichment. 

Special shoutout to a few characters. The Lion Queen, Initial D car, pumpkin bread guy, pigeon dude, and the poor guy everyone kept mistaking for Gustave from Expedition 33. You're providing my visual enrichment for this update.

Oh, and the twink who tipped me $20 in cash after flirting with me. Sorry, dude. You hit on the one guy at the furry con who's not into conventionally attractive 8/10 blond boys. Not tall enough to ride. Thanks for the gas money, though.

Pittsburgh pilgrimage talk aside... after a heatstroke and horse-filled week, Anthrocon is over, and it's time to get back to work. 

We're expecting DDP in 2-3 weeks. There's a whopping ten boxes, almost 250 pounds, of these suckers about to show up stateside. Of course, they're all probably going to get dropped on the front porch of my house, and block my neighbors in. I'll cry tears of joy if they aren't.

I'm already tempting the locals with the promise of Costco pizza and a Totally Spies marathon. The backup will be appreciated, for almost 6,000 pins. If you're in my area (you know who you are) and you have a Monday or three off this summer, hit me up - there's early pickup, food, and, frankly, some truly awful vibes to cash in on.

Dare I say it, and jinx it, but, barring any major fuckups that need remakes... we should be shipping at the middle or end of July into August.

Fulfillment is finally on the horizon. This means, this is one of your last reminders: if your card on file failed, you are in danger of forfeitting your pledge. Your final day to fix payment issues is August 20th.

We have two first-charge backers who will get an email from me later this week if this update doesn't kick you into gear. One of you's got a pledge that'd singlehandedly cover 20 people's shipping, so, I'd love to hear from you and your bank account.

Cross-collab combined shipping backer? You got a little more time. We'll be charging you guys when THE HYENA FAMILY pins arrive to Henrieke. But, you will still want to make sure your payment stuff's up to date.

I am very very heavily debating running a small project next month. The next time you hear from me, will probably be if I decide to go through with it. Things are busy and miserable over here, but, the mid-year savings recovery might be worth the hassle.

Otherwise, take your bets on if FedEx puts 10 cartons of metal on the sidewalk in front of God and everyone.
