It would be silly for a meta-furry blog to post a con report, and that’s not quite what we’re going to do here, but we would like to note that [adjective][species] was at Further Confusion 2012 (still is, technically) as Fan Media, and we had a blast! While there, we handed out surveys, cards, and “I ♥ RandomWolf” stickers, lined up some future interviews, and spent a good deal of time talking to and observing our fellow furries.

In the future, we would also like to conduct some interviews while at the con (we brought a camcorder this year, but forgot to really do anything with it), and have more people helping to conduct the survey. However, we are also open to suggestions – what would you like to see from us at conventions? What other conventions would you like to see us visit? Is there any convention specific content that you would like to see us produce? Let us know what you think in the comments and we’ll definitely take it into consideration!

Keep being awesome, folks!

Another blindingly fast show, with the AudioSurf Challenge appearing almost a whole quarter of an hour early. This show was cursed by a new buzzing sound that randomly happened and drove TK nuts while he tried to chase it during the show. For Done and Dusted TK and Xavier talk about TK's Done and Dusted Blog Post covering Final Fantasy XIII-2 Demo on the PSN, Eeve3 covers the card game Dominion, and Xavier gives us his review of XCom: Enemey Unknown and UFO Defence, as well as Burnout Paradise on the PS3. Felis showcases lots of games with his review of Sega Megadrive Collection. Starring TK, Xavier and Eeve3. TigerTails Radio - Season 6 - Episode 21 - The Random Buzzing

Hey all, to those who were at the con. I'm looking for a particular female zebra that was clad in latex. I can't remember her name, it was like Cinnabon, or something similar sounding. Any help in locating her would be greatly appreciated!

The anthropomorphic jamboree that is this year’s FurCon began Thursday and will go through the end of MLK weekend. If you’ve ever wondered about the cultural differences among dragons, how gravity affects various species, or what furries were featured in the Bible, this is the place to find out.

FurCon caters to people who call themselves “furries.” Participants of the lifestyle anthropomorphize their human qualities into their chosen animal character. The organizer of the event, Lee Strom, chose a raccoon named Chairo, for example. These animal-inspired personality types are referred to as “fursonas.” There are plenty of colorful furries at the convention and each brings a unique fursona.

All of this may seem a little bit silly, and it’s obvious that having fun is the furries’ main goal, but there is a more serious side to the whole thing as well. The organization that puts on FurCon is heavily involved in charity work and has donated over $130,000 to various nonprofits. The nonprofits are in line with the furry theme and mostly involve animal rescue and conservation efforts.

There is also an element of outreach, which is obvious from the various workshops offered at the convention. From “Writing in Furry Fandom” to “Become Your Avatar,” furries can sharpen their skills during the long weekend.

Furries are generally cordial and the overall feeling at the convention is pleasant. For a non-furry, the initial shock is temporary as everyone that shows up is explicitly there to enjoy themselves. Some of the costumes are extremely complex, from a woolly mammoth that convincingly walks on all four legs, to various critters equipped with servos that make their mouths move when they speak. The whole event is sophisticated in its organization and execution. As Lee explains about the team that puts the event on, “We have doctors on staff, we have nuclear physicists on staff.”

FurCon 2012 is comfortingly surreal, and enjoyable even to people who don’t anthropomorphize their persona into the animal form. For example, Klingons give an approving nod with their bone-plated foreheads by throwing a raging party that is quickly becoming the stuff of legend.
