As I mentioned before, over the past year I've been to many places and seen many cool things in this world. In part 1 we finished up at FurTheMore, one of those furry conventions in Tysons Corner, VA. Shortly after that I accompanied Agmane to San Diego.

While in San Diego, Agmane broke the news to me that he wanted to go to Califur, a con in Irvine, California. I reluctantly agreed when he told met that there would be other unicorns there.

While at Califur, we shared our room with a most delightful donkey. I insisted he join us when I wanted to go to the beach.

Walking around in my true form was no big deal in the City of Angels. The ignorant hewmans all thought I was a play actor from one of their "moving pictures."

I was told this was Dan Aykroyd's private car. Unfortunately he has no time for unicorns. *grumbles*

After a hard night of serving dinner to my fellow passengers, I felt the dining car staff could use some rainbows in their lives.

Our next stop was New Orleans. I found this vacant plinth near Jackson Square. I think a unicorn would look quite good here.

I'm always willing to imbibe upon the different concoctions you hewmans come up with to intoxicate yourselves. I was told that this place specialized in a signature drink called the hurricane. I quite enjoyed it.

After our long road trip, I took some time off before heading to another one of those furry conventions with Agmane. This time we headed to the world's largest convention: Anthrocon in Pittsburgh, PA.

Some say unicorns are as tall as we are so that we are able to reach the top shelf. This is clearly incorrect as a proper unicorn never has to reach for anything! The fine staff at The Brewers Art certainly met this standard of service.

The City of Baltimore was kind enough to clear the streets for my visit.

This "street art" is such a refreshing change from the money driven gallery scene. Ephemeral works painted by the people, for the people. I was so impressed I immediately purchased these walls and am having them transported to my estate.

Owning a professional sports team seems like mighty good fun. Of course they will have to have a proper equine theme unlike this burd related team in Baltimore.

These "pony" enthusiasts (Agmane calls them "Bronies") make a mockery of all equine traditions! Of course their heart is in the right place so I reluctantly entertained their requests for photographs. Oddly enough the fake pony hewman on the right reminds me of an eclectic fellow I met several centuries ago.

I was invited to the United Kingdom by a very special zebra furry person who I very much enjoyed spending time with. He and a deer friend of his were nice enough to accompany me on a walk through London. I quite love London (and the UK), they properly respect Unicorns there. As they should, of course, since we're one of the two creatures on their national seal.

A week after returning to North America, Agmane and I traveled to Philadelphia to attend a "tailgate" party (a confusing name since none of the participants had tails) supporting the local sports club known as the Eagles. Apparently a hewman spiritual leader called the pope was also in town to support the same team and he and I were able to exchange pleasantries

Agmane has failed to explain to me why there is a hewman atop Philadelphia's city hall instead of a unicorn. After all, equines originated in the new world!

Agmane invited me along to the beach with some of his friends. Of course, there was an potential hurricane headed our way. I talked to my people and got that fixed. ;-) , although there was nothing they could do about the wind. Still, a good time was had by all, except for when some dog and his emo companion showed up to interrupt my wind-walk.

Finally, one year to the day I arrived in this world, I returned to the Maryland Renaissance Festival. Not all hewman children are sticky little gremlins. :-)
In the past year I've traversed the US and made an appearance in the lovely city of London, where they love unicorns! I've had such a good time meeting you hewmans, especially the furry ones. They are quite entertaining, even if I think pretending to be a fake-animal-person is a bit daft. ;-)
To close it out, nearly geographical bookends (if you don't count the UK!) Newport Beach, CA to the West, Stone Harbor, NJ to the East.
