Show Hiatus

takingupspace — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 23:24:27 +0000

Hi all,

Just a quick note to let you all know that, due to some recent developments, TUS will be going on an indefinite hiatus. Until we have all had a chance to speak, at some point in the future, and until issues have resolved themselves (which may be unlikely), it is impossible to say how long this hiatus will be for.

I know that we would like to thank you all for the support you have shown us over the time, it has meant so very much to us.

I’m sure Kraden, Bairn and Ashura will all post similar messages over the next few days.

Once again, thankyou for listening to the show, to those of you that have, it has meant to world to me, and I am thankful to all the friends I have made and met because of it.

Thankyou,

- Nat

Ep 23 - RIP Jesus, we’ll see you in 3 days

Kraden: I was going to draw up a little OMG-the-show-is-late comic as an apology. But it’s 3am, I’ve been slogging at my last Uni assessment for this semester, and my Operation is tomorrow. So we’re all just gonna have to enjoy a late show and have a normal apology.

Hello Kitty spreads her empire even furthur, the new hulk movie is released, Neil is away with a strange and mysterious illness, zombie-woman comes back to life after being declared medically dead.

Welcome to episode 18 of Taking up space. As promised AND requested we drank an entire bottle of bourbon between the three of us (Emily had to drive). The results are somewhat chaotic. I’d love to say we covered large and interesting news topics, but it degenerated into songs about Neils bra, many many old stories of our misgiving youth, and a smatter of bad sentences and funny jokes. Love it, hate it, I sure know I’ll not be doing it again for a while. But it was fun. ~ Kraden

MidFur2007 - Thougths & Feelings discussion

takingupspace — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 23:21:19 +0000

Kraden: I just got back from MidFur 2007, Australia’s largest furry & anthropomorphic gathering. A group of us decided to hang out at the Hostel on Sunday after all the events and record our thoughts and ideas from the meet.

Friday: Friday night dinner Saturday: Breakfast, Wine & Cheese tour, Walk around CBD, ArtJam, Suiting @ the Museum, BBQ by the river, Lazer tag. Sunday: CBD activities, South Fur lands binding party, BBQ @ Scrappers place.

Discussion Members: Lady Red, Kraden, Ray Liehm, Konex, Mahees, Ranger, LAWwolf, Moskinta, Alternate Artisan, Kyala, Max the Dralf, Alex the Lion & cameo by Temba. I’ve worked out a new way to compress the shows, so although there are many people talking and it gets a little chaotic we generally stayed on track and it only comes down to 15mb.

ANNOUNCEMENT!: It was announced that next year MidFur will be converted into Australia’s premiere Furry & Anthropomorphic Convention, and celebrate it’s 10th anniversary. This is a massive achievement for this fledgling community and we’re all very excited about what the next year will hold. I’ll post information about the think-tank in development as it arises.
