Creators After Dark 2026

Posted on by yetieater in Adults Only, Stories

I went into Creators After Dark 2026 with a goal and a sidequest

Goal: No repeat of my Sunday at Kimochiicon 2024 😬
Sidequest: Pick up candles from spookymoogs for stynsphotos

I had my name on two reservations: one shared with Jakuna, and the other with TipsyAsian

Thursday, April 2

Set out from Houston with my post-Las Vegas rental, Nissan Versa, packed with Carina’s belongings, and dropped them off at her new digs

Friday, April 3

Walked to McDonalds

Checked in tipsyasian 1121

In the lobby, bumped into Menny

In elevator back to the seventh floor, Pomma entered lift

Boss, who bought me lottery entry at TsumiCon Houston 2025, said hi. Connected on Discord

Madam Houston

Had food chez Kota with Rosie, and stashed the leftovers in my room’s fridge

Looked for spookymoogs, found her live-streaming with Jennybelly

Back up to our suite on the 11th floor

Ben Kai came up

Sidequest: find Mochi

Outside

Smokes. Saw Katy La Gray.

Tagged along with Katy and the group

Saturday, April 4

Found spookymoogs’ booth and acquired candles: sidequest accomplished!

Took a shower, headed back to the lobby

The Haus of Pain

Met a local fan who bought a day pass to meet me. Wandered the convention floor with him

Sunday, April 5

Woke up, got decent enough, and headed for Pomma and Little Puck’s panel after allowing Paul a little time to relieve himself

Met Rob and Amanda, who were making a documentary on Little Puck

Group dinner

Pool hangout

Brought Rosie down to the pool area

Said my evening prayers, felt that same energy I’ve felt before. Silent sobs.

Monday, April 6

Paul met some Yorkshire terrier puppies!

New sidequest: Get blanket back for Stickie Puppy

Thanks to Pomma for the hook up 😎 Thanks to Demora Avarice and Grievence for gifting me and @PaultheYorkie a signed print! Thanks to Rosie Lynn for allowing me to crash on Sunday night!

TsumiCon Las Vegas 2026

Posted on by yetieater in Adults Only, Stories

@PaultheYorkie and I flew out to Las Vegas for the first time since 2020, when we first visited with hrcutr, because I was told at TsumiCon Houston 2025 that the parties were better in Las Vegas. It was my first time attending a convention in Las Vegas

We stayed at hrcutr’s for the first two nights of our visit. Paul got to reconnect with Peach, and met Herb and the husky. I met hrcutr’s housemate, Max, who gifted me a rifle scope

hrcutr drove us over to Alexis Park Resort, where I checked in

hrcutr hadn’t visited the property, so I invited him to come and check out the guest room

bassdrip gifted me a keychain

Monday, March 16

We rode with JR over to LAS

First time checking out a Chase Sapphire Lounge. Felt really cool checking it out with Zeke and auxag, and being able to bring in Katy La Gray and her crew

Ikkicon Yokai Night 2026

Posted on by yetieater in Adults Only, Stories

Plans to attend came together on a whim while Ether, Jakuna, and I were hanging out in town

Ikkicon’s Yokai Night 2026 marked my first visit to the Kalahari

We rolled up in my rented Audi A3. Upon arrival, Jakuna suggested we go ahead and book a room for the night, to which I agreed

Jakuna got picked out from the audience during the La Gray Cabaret performance, and I rolled video of him seated on stage

Saw Ty Strang, and took his photo with a cosplayer. He bought Ether and I a drink

I really liked the energy, but even keeping an ear to the street in the Ikkicon Discord server, I didn’t catch wind of any room parties

After hanging out at the fire pit a while, we decided to call it a night

Saturday, January 10

I took Paul out for his morning walk, and decided to take a closer look at the rest of the Kalahari

We checked out from the Kalahari

We stopped by LeRoy & Lewis. Manager gave me flak about Paul at first. His tone changed when, after some time spent waiting in line, I went over to the bar and ordered a couple beers. My first choice, a gose, wasn’t available. I ordered two Austin Beerworks Sputnik coffee imperial stouts, and he asked if I’d like them served in glasses.

I grabbed a serving of the cheesecake to go upon <>’s recommendation

Ecchi Expo San Marcos 2025

Posted on by yetieater in Adults Only, Stories

I rolled up to Ecchi Expo San Marcos 2025 in a four-man: Kussah, Vox Singuin, Zeke, and myself

After some last-minute confusion, it was decided we’d push the 3er up. Vox took the first stint behind the wheel, with Kussah riding shotgun. Paul and I spread out in the back seat. I spent most of the ride working on comms and reviewing the convention schedule

Shoutouts to kirayamato760 and Nekomi for hooking up my squad with a room 🫡
