The Oxford Renaissance Festival will be coming around in two weeks and if you're a dragon suiter, they want you! Please make yourselves available from June 23rd to the 24th. Just send me a note with your real name so that I can pass it along to the operator of the festival. If you have a handler to come, that would be great too. Again just give me his or her name so I can forward it. We will have a place to change. Did I mention that we'll also be fed too? The Oxford Renaissance Festival takes place at the Dorchester Fairgrounds in Dorchester, Ontario.

I've been thinking about it and if all looks good, I'd like to attend Eurofurence. My only problem would be getting some room space. If you have any room space to offer for this sizzlin' red-hot dragon, please post below.

I'm directing this journal entry to all the dragon suiters out there. The owner of the Oxford Renaissance Festival has expressed some interest in having some more dragons wandering around the festival. So he approached me and asked if I could help him out. So here I am to post this request on his behalf. I'm looking for fellow dragon suiters who would be interested in attending the two day festival that's happening on June 25th and June 26th. There's no cost to get in and you'll be fed for your time. The Oxford Renaissance Festival takes place at the Dorchester Fairgrounds in Dorchester, Ontario. If you're a dragon suiter and interested, please reply.

I had a great time last weekend as Dr. Zoltar, Mako Grey, and I had some fun over at Medieval Times in Toronto! This was probably their first time having a dragon enter the castle. Everything went along fine. The patrons were wanting to pose for pictures with me, along with giving high fives and hugs to the kids. Later it was that moment, the moment of the Knighting Ceremony. Four others were ahead of me and then I heard my name get called out. It was a little difficult to make my way to the throne, but the king sure got a surprise once he saw me. I don't think he was expecting a dragon to be knighted, but he showed his mercy towards me and had nothing less than kind words to say to me. After posing for a ceremonial picture, I became a Knight of the Realm! Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the feast and tournament. The wenches would be tripping over my tail. Though that would mean more food for me!

I've been waiting for a while for this. Two groups went and did the running of the 72 steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and I was in the second group. Although this sizzlin' red-hot dragon wasn't made to run up stairs, I managed to do them at a good pace.

Just wishing all of my friends a very sizzlin' red-hot happy New Year!

Just wishing all of my watchers out there a very sizzlin' red-hot Merry Christmas!

Saturday was a really great day! Almost thirty of us spent a sizzlin' red-hot time doing some mini golf over at Adventure Village. Though this time around I wasn't really doing my best, but I will be much better next time. Other activities were open such as the rock climbing wall, batting cages, outdoor laser tag, and the Krazy Kars. Other's wanted me to join them on the Krazy Kars, but I couldn't fit due to my big tail. Though Tien Long had a great time on them and I got some video footage of it that you can all watch below. I can hardly wait until the next meet!

Yes, the sizzin' red-hot dragon that you all know and love is up on Twitter! Find me at https://twitter.com/SizzlinSparky

All that I can say is that I had a sizzlin' red-hot time at Furnal Equinox! Just so much going on along with meeting up with so many friends. Even Dougal is still reeling from seeing his gramppies and . I'm really looking forward to next year and I can hardly wait!

I knew you all could show your love out there for this sizzin' red-hot dragon! My 1000th watcher happens to be so thank you very much Transyr for that! I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I'll think of something.

I know that I don't thank you all individually for faving my stuff, but I just want to give you all a big sizzin' red-hot thank you for faving them! It truly means a lot to me and it drives me to put up more of this sizzlin' red-hotness for you to see. Of course it's not just the faves, it's also from all of you who are giving the love to watch me. Things might be a little quiet right now due to the winter, there'll be lots to see once it starts to warm up again. Yes even a sizzlin' red-hot dragon can catch a chill with the cold winter weather and you all don't want to see this sizzin' red-hot dragon catch a cold.

It's getting down to the wire. Four more watchers to go! Who'll be the lucky one to be my 1000th watcher? To the one who get's it, I guess I'll need to do something special. Though not sure what at the moment.

Now that I've settled in from attending FC2015, I have a request for those who took photos of this sizzlin' red-hotness. Yes, that's you with the camera! Please upload your photos so that I can save them to my collection to remember the moment of them being taken. Also please give me the link as to where I can find them.

Another edition of Further Confusion has come and gone. This also marked the tenth anniversary of my debut at Further Confusion back in 2005. This convention was nothing short of fun! Dougal also got to see Kingsford again and I'm very sure he'll be telling Cornwall all about it. Not that Dougal really says very much. Though Dougal also met some other dragons there too. It was great to hang out with old friends and I met some new friends along the way. I don't think I could have asked for better roommates. It was a pleasure to have , , and rooming with me so I wouldn't hesitate with asking them to room with me next time. As for my next convention, I'll be at Furnal Equinox in March.

Where has the time flown? This coming edition of Further Confusion will be marking ten years since my first convention debut in 2005. My flight out from Buffalo leaves this coming Thursday. I can hardly wait!

My goodness! What a night! I decided to get out and celebrate the New Year with a bang in Downtown Toronto! Even if it was only two of us characters out, it was still lots of fun. There were others with us two as spotters. As soon as RK and I stepped off the parking elevator at Dundas Square, there was an epic flood of people wanting to pose with us for pictures. We literally couldn't move! Though we did slowly progress south on Yonge Street to Queen Street. It felt like hours making our way down. We couldn't move a metre without being asked to pose for pictures. Eventually we all made it to Queen Street and slowly progressed west to the heart of the New Year's Eve celebrations at Nathan Phillips Square. Of course I couldn't really tell where I was walking due to poor vision and the mass amount of people around. Fortunately I had aid by one of my spotters which really helped me a lot.

Trying to get around Nathan Phillips Square was a huge challenge. It was pretty much a whole sea of people and of course more people wanting for us to pose for photos with them. Some wanted some hugs too. Nothing like a hug from a sizzlin' red-hot dragon to warm up a few who were feeling cold. We did manage to find a clear path behind a line of food trucks as we made way to City Hall. Our final stop there was by the huge Christmas tree. We were pretty much stuck there due to more people wanting us to pose with them for pictures. We did try to move around to a better spot, but any movement was very slow. Either way, being by the Christmas tree was the best spot for us. Though it would have been nice to get over to the main stage where the concert was taking place. Getting there would have been slow and difficult. It just seemed endless of posing for pictures. We were very well loved!

When it was getting close to midnight, we decided to head back. Again it was a very slow progress trying to cut our way through the sea of people. We took the same path behind the line of food trucks while stopping for people who wanted to pose with us for pictures. I needed the aid of one of our spotters to get to where we wanted to go. RK wanted us to get to the Pan AM games sign, but we couldn't get there. Just too many people to try and get through. We then finally decided to make our way back to Dundas Square. Our plan was to get to the Eaton Centre and take the PATH to Dundas Square.

Trying to get were we wanted to go proved to to be difficult and very slow. Another huge mass of people was making their way into Nathan Phillips Square. We were really getting shoved around. I couldn't tell where I was going, but my spotter was guiding me through. We made it to a crosswalk that crossed Bay Street. We got about half way and the clock of Old City Hall struck midnight and we stopped to watch the fireworks from New City Hall. It was a very nice display, but it appeared that they were having some technical difficulties with them. There were three long sets with about a minute pause between them. Once the final set was done we managed to make it over to the Eaton Centre. Unfortunately the doors were locked so we followed an alley way that took us to Dundas Street and then made it back to Dundas Square.

I do have to say that the event went along uneventfully! Despite the odd tail pulling, nothing much happened to us. Although a couple people there thought I was the Devil. I guess they've never seen a dragon before. The Devil is more of a goat than a dragon. I don't have hooves. Though I did have one lady trying to pamper me up that I was trying to play along with. She was giving me belly rubs, stroking my snoot, and scratching my head. Yup, that's all it takes to get this sizzin' red-hot dragon going. Especially belly rubs. They feel so good! Ah! *cough cough* Sorry, getting a little carried away. I would very much love to do this again and hopefully with some more of us characters there too! Here's to 2015!

Despite that I won't be able to make it to MFF, there'll be some sizzlin' red-hotness wandering around at FC. I can hardly wait!

Hey all! Some sizzlin' red-hotness is now on FurGather. http://www.furgather.com/Sparky_D
