While watching the morning news a few minutes ago, they ranNBC prmo for the new shows that will start after the Olympics, I wasnot really paying attention to it but I looked up at the right time andsaw for a brief moment what I thought was 2 mascots that I knew fromfurry. The show the clip was from was The Parenthood, so I went to theNBC website and found clips there and saw this
That is a screen capture of this clip

FurCon Article
The end of January saw the twelfth incarnation of one of the bay area's most distinctive conventions; Further Confusion (FurCon) 2010. Having outgrown the oft-missed Doubletree, FurCon staffers adjusted swiftly to their new digs at the San Jose Fairmont.
"Gold Rush" was this year's theme. Chuck, a cartoon miner's cat in prospector overalls, appears as the 2010 web site mascot. Standard registration packages included drinking skins and small bags of pirite. Some lucky winners instead got bags with slips redeemable for real gold!
But what is the furry fandom all about? Between the diversity of answers, confusing media treatment, and unchecked taboo, it's difficult to get a clear explanation as to exactly why people like dressing up in fur-suits. We addressed those most heavily involved with FurCon along with visitors old and new.
Firstly, convention attendees and staffers shared their experiences transitioning to the new hotel.
Danielle "Angel" D reminisces: "R.I.P. Doubletree. The Fairmont Hotel has large shoes to fill. I've been pleasantly surprised how well they have done so far. Hopefully the hotel trusts FC more now and will start to slowly give benefits we came to expect from the Doubletree like FC TV."
Jason "Loran" Thomas tells us: "We had a wonderful convention staff as well as hotel staff. There where a few bumps that would occur from coming into a new hotel, but nothing major. The Fairmont was excellent to work with."
Lee "Chairo" Strom: "A lot of very hard work went into making FC2010 a success. The transition to downtown San Jose from the DoubleTree was a great challenge however 2010 was one of the smoothest rides we’d taken. But the staff, hotel, city of San Jose and many local businesses came through wonderfully and the hotel liasion’s experience and very hard work made the transition to a new location seem far easier than it should have. Personally, I can’t wait to see what happens next year."
Adding to thoughts on the new hotel, David "Flint Otterhall" Cooksey contributes: I was very surprised at just how welcoming and friendly the regular ordinary staff folks were to our attendees at both the Fairmont and the area businesses."
Ben, screen name CheeseMonkeyGa, enthuses: "Fairmont was huge! It had plenty of room and was located close to several good restaurants."
Danielle is a long-time FurCon fur-suiter. Chairo serves as the con's PR Director and facilitated most of the interview answers in this article. Loran was the 2010 convention chair. Flint Otterhall is a long-time board member and highly active staffer. Ben, who did not supply this publication with a last name, volunteered as an A/V technician
The board members take pride in their volunteer staff. They also expound a bit on the merits of seeking new staffers to fill key positions year after year.
Flint Otterhall: "I cannot begin to say enough about my fellow staff workers. Their individual sacrifices for this fandom and for the con are the primary reason I keep doing it myself. I love the fact that the con basically reinvents itself each two or three years sicne everyone gets fired each year.. Sure that gives you some increased reinventing of the wheel, but it also puts in institutional barriers to white tower-ism. Fresh blood and change give way more good than bad."
Danielle comments: "I'll give a shout out to the idea that higher end staff positions must always be ran by someone new, to give a fresh outlook. FC is truly community ran unlike other conventions that are often ran by one or two people for a profit."
Chairo: "Every staff member and volunteer stepped up to the plate with determination and dedication this year. The A/V crew did a stellar job with Main Stage, they really brought a new level of professionalism to Further Confusion. Our registration staff successfully tackled many new changes. Everyone came together in the eleventh hour to produce one of the best shows we’ve had to date. The staff and volunteers for Further Confusion are truly talented people!"
There's a variety of perspectives on how best to explain just what the furry fandom is.
Excerpt from the official FurCon press guide: "Today they’re called furry fans, furries, or simply furs, but fans of funny animals have been around for a long time. Interest in various forms of anthropomorphic animals goes back many centuries, to at least as far back as Aesop's fables, and maybe as far back as the first cave paintings. Modern furry fandom first took the form of room parties at science-fiction conventions around 20 years ago, before growing large enough to make conventions catering exclusively to furry interests possible. This growth was helped tremendously by the Internet, which enabled furry fans to stay in touch and share artwork and stories, providing a sense of close community among people scattered around the world. Conventions, especially large ones like Further Confusion, give furries a chance to meet face-to-face with friends they might not otherwise get to see during the year, and even make some new friends the old-fashioned way."
Chairo adds: "I personally describe it as such: Furry Fandom is much like the science fiction fandom. Fans and artists of many types hold a common interest in the anthropomorphic arts, specifically, animal and fantasy creatures that combine both human and animal characteristics which can vary greatly. Cartoon characters such as Bugs Bunny, Draco from Dragonheart another and even werewolves make up some examples."
Ben suggests: "Think of it like a trekkie or anime convention except, instead of borg or disproportionately endowed girls, we have animals!
Mary Madesky submits: "That's a really tough one...... it is alot of things in general but maybe only a few to each person. Aspects include Costuming/mascoting, art especially anime, spirituality in terms of having an animal spirit or persona that you feel is part of youre personality, a love of animals."
Mary is highly active in the furry community and did more than her part to promote FurCon.
Here are some reactions from fans of science fiction and other genres who attend FurCon.
The Black Hole, a mobile, Klingon-run bar is a regular feature at FC and other conventions in the area. DoQnar Sutai-vuqarwi, a co-proprietor of the bar, notes: "For the first time in the history of the bar, the FurCon attendees drank every bit of booze we had for Saturday night and damn near drank it dry Friday night as well. In fact they drank it all 10 minutes before the party rooms were forced to close down (midnight)."
Lisa Deutsch Harrigan writes: "I spent most of my weekend at the WC64 fan table. The costumes that went by my table were great fun."
DoQnar Sutai-vuarwi sometimes masquerades as a human named David Hansen. Lisa was, of course, there on WesterCon business. (See westercon64.org for information on this touring convention's scheduled appearance at the Fairmont in 2011.)
The main events include (but are not limited to) the Fursuit Parade, the Masquerade and FNL. One of FC's biggest attractions is parade in which everyone in costume is invited to march through the venue with pride. (There were 749 in the parade this year, according to the website.) As with so many cons, there is the traditional Masquerade on Saturday nights featuring anthropomorphic costumers showing off their stuff on stage. Additionally, there's Furry Night Live, the animal-themed variety show with musical acts, talent demonstrations, and comedy sketches.
Chairo: When taking part, my favorite event is usually the FNL or the Masquerade. However the sheer size of the Fursuit (costume) Parade and group picture that follows is a sight to behold. The number of fuzzy critters together at one time had nearly hit 600.
Lisa offers some constructive criticism: "They need to work on where the Furry Parade is going. I almost missed it because they moved it from going in front of my table to another hallway! FNL was Small and not nearly as much fun as previous years. Which figures since I couldn't make it to the Masquerade and everyone says that was Real Good This Year."
Flint Otterhall's favorite event was: "The preview panel by the artists known as Blotch, Guest of Honor for FC2011, of their upcoming mainstream product Nordguard. I think its gonna be competing for an Eisner in the near future."
Ben and Danielle both cited the dance competition, a newly created event, as their favorite.
Brian "Penh" Hagen's favorite event was: "The Critterlympics! Chaos, action, drama, mystery, triumph, failure, foam bats, and madness. It really encapsulates all that is good in the world, plus I get to yell at people."
Penh's position on staff is Critterlympics Lead.
Here's what our interviewees replied when asked if they had favorite costumes, furries, and fur stories.
Loran: "A few, mostly the cute bunny suits I saw. :)"
Chairo: "Being a costume designer myself I see so many excellent designs out there. I have been designing and building costumes for 13 years. The fandom itself is progressing by leaps and bounds in quality and creativity. Here is my latest that was seen at FC briefly. http://www.ringtailstudios.com/Costumes/Nougat.jpg ."
Flint Otterhall: "1) Terraluna the bat fursuit finally returning to perform a bit in suit after his performer suffered a near fatal motorcycle accident several years ago. 2) Devin, the cute dog fursuit who got the CBS5 Reporter to accept a very doggy hug form him and seeing the "light" go on in the reporters mind. He suddenly got exactly why close to 900 costumers would chose to spend their weekend like this! His story showed exactly that, and thats only one of many many stories our attendees have to tell."
Ben: "Wampa!!!!!"
After all this insight, they bequeathed us with some final thoughts.
Chairo gives the convetion's bottom line figures: "We don't have our charity numbers for this year yet, but we anticipate giving between $12,000 - $15,000. Our attendance was 2770 with 129 dealers and 167 staff. Art Show sales were $40,502."
Ben, who was a first-timer, is already looking forward to next year: "I hope we have even more fun!"
Mary also addresses where the con should go from here: "I hope more panelist volunteer time for new classes,etc. Seemed we had many of the same events as last year."
Also looking ahead, Penh aspires as follows: "It'll be the 10th anniversary of the Critterlympics, so I'm hoping to make
them at least 23% more awesome next year."
As each chair only does a 1-year tour of duty, Loran resolves "to relax and enjoy it next time."

Another Furry Fiesta piece - Dallas Observer.
Here's another piece about Furry Fiesta 2010, in the blog of the Dallas Observer:
http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpark/2010/02/venus_in_fursuits_portraits_fr.php
The blogger was clearly impressed by the fursuiters but didn't fully appreciate that most furry convention-goers don't wear fursuits. (They commented, "Alas, only some of those in attendance were "full fursuiters" -- 200, maybe?".)
There's also a link to a photo slideshow, focussing on the 'suiters. (And I have to say, I do like Dalefox's "modified tube sock".)

Here is an article which appeared in the Dallas Morning News of February 20, covering this year's Furry Fiesta.
It's a positive article, describing furry fandom in general and the events planned for FF, whilst talking to some of the attendees. CSI is mentioned in passing, and dismissed as fiction.

Rant against Apple briefly mentions Furries
In this Cracked.com Rant against Apple and it's AppStore policy what to reject or not, Furries are mentioned as example for "surely kinky, obviously should be blocked" content.
Quote:
Take for instance, Apple's rejecting the Eucalyptus app for obscenity. Ooooh! Eucalyptus. That's got to be slang for something kinky as all hell! Was this a social networking app for a very special subset of furries? A hook-up site for swinging Botanists?

University of South Alabama Newspaper on SL Furries
Appearently this University has their own SL campus, and were offering 'tours' of other lands.
One of those happens the be a furry land.
http://www.usavanguard.com/this-week-in-geek-1.1108962
The author describes furries on SL as 'anthropomorphic fetishists'.
He then proceeds to go on about sex and the characters.
However the one thing to really catch my eye was this:
--During one expedition during my research for this article I happened upon what I can only describe as a sort of sexual device museum. It was a long stone hallway with open rooms on either side, each with its own assortment of obscene theme-park rides.--
In this paragraph, he flat out says he was looking for sexual aspects.
Personally, I am tired of people seeking out sexual content, then making such a big stink if they find any...

Dylan Moran and furries
I'm not sure if this really fits the community, since it's not news in any form? Feel free to delete or whatever, but I thought members might like it anyway since it is a pinch of publicity.
Dylan Moran is a comedian who never quite seems to be sober and rambles a lot. This isn't particularly new, but it surprised me while I was lol'ing at about 1:50. You'll get a better idea of what he's on about if you watch the bit before. Not really positive or negative imho, just there.
