Walking around the outside of Reunion Tower at sunset Friday night. This was during the Texas Furry Fiesta Reunion Tower fursuit event. One of the best experiences for this bird high in the air.

If I may make a suggestion, I can guess this was probably taken with a selfie stick which in itself is not a bad thing, but if you have some footage that is effectively the same thing for five minutes it gets a little tedious. What I would suggest is to either shorten videos like this to a minute or two or intercut it with other footage taken at the same event.
While clicking through it, I noted it basically starts, commences, and ends the same way without a real starting or ending signal (such as a farewell wave) and the focus is the same for most of the video (on you). While I love your suit and definitely want to see more, it's a few video production things I've learned from watching fursuit videos and tips that will produce better material.
I realize that you may not be looking for such advice or have the time/interest to invest in your videography, however, if you do, this is some friendly suggestions to help, no offense is intended.
Especially in this day and age, attention spans are short, and if you watch any episode of television it rarely sticks to the same actor/event for 5 minutes, and it's hard to keep it worth it for the full amount of time, should you so choose.
For example.... I had five minutes of fursuit parade footage one year. I knew most folks don't really want to sit here and watch the whole parade. I cut it down to 30 seconds featuring suits I knew and put that in my video. I don't know if it got me more views but I do think it helped in terms of video production quality. Even if it's a short line there's only so long you can watch fursuits walk by at the same angle. :)

You're welcome. It's something most folks might not necessarily consider when you're making a video, but next time you watch something on TV, even a commercial, pay attention to what they do and it'll give you an idea of how to keep a video entertaining.
Generally, short, succinct, to the point, and it sometimes helps to imagine yourself as the viewer, who doesn't know you. If you can get that guy interested, you're golden.
