March 24th, 2011 the question was asked, “Why don’t we have a Fur Con in Iowa?”  This site is the answer to that question. It’s success or failure and the journey to the end. Join our team and help us make that answer “Because we just didn’t try before.”

The Iowa Furry Association is in the planning stages for a yet unnamed convention. They are researching names, logos and starting to form a board of directors.

Currently named possible board members are: Cute Kitsune, J Husky and Nbowa. Striker is currently acting as organizer but has declined consideration as Chairman for the time being.

They are also researching dates as not to conflict with other conventions. Presently, they are targeting a 2013 start date.

Part of the conversation currently going on is finding a “marketable” name using acronyms.

Their listed goals are as follows:

Form a Board

• Cute Kitsune (Mina Kitsune)
• J Husky (****)

Elect a Chair
Chose an Official Convention Name

• Pick By date set 15APR2011 Midnight

Chose a Logo

• Pick By date set 21MAY2011 Midnight

Chose a Mascot
Chose between LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, or 501(c)
Set up Articles of Incorporation
Select a Charity
Settle on the Date of the Convention

• Expected 1st Weekend in June 2013 (Not Final)

You can find them on the web here: Iowa Furry Convention

Their Facebook page is here: IA-Furcon at Facebook

At present they do not list a twitter account to follow.

As we get new information, we’ll report it.

Occasional furry artist Fritter, also known in the fandom as FrittMonster, FireLover343, and Anium, has been arrested in Ottawa, Canada, on a charge of possessing child pornography.

Known in real-life as Adam Boyko, 19-year-old Fritter was arrested on Wednesday, March 30, by the Ottawa police Internet Child Exploitation unit after they received a tip-off. Police seized a laptop they allege contains images and videos of child pornography.

Originally from Cranford, New Jersey, Fritter was in Ottawa on a temporary visa to study Information Technology at Carleton University.

“MTV’s TV series reboot of the classic ’80s comedy Teen Wolf, premiering on June 5 after the MTV Movie Awards, is set to be markedly different from the Michael J. Fox flick. For starters, there doesn’t seem to be a modern version of best pal and love interest, the awesomely named “Boof” (travesty!). Instead, the network is going for an edgier approach and hoping to attract the audience of two other supernatural classics. “When I first talked to MTV about it, I said what if we do it kind of like The Lost Boys with kind of the pace and fun of Buffy,” exec producer Jeff Davis (Criminal Minds)

We recap FogCon, a science fiction convention, as well as Emerald City Comic-Con and the Ursa Majors. We talk about action scenes too! Unsheathed #76 - Emerald City and FogCon recap; also, action scenes and Ursas!

Today you met your first furry, and want to know what it’s all about, so the first thing you do is ask a friend, who claims to know, but doesn’t know that much more than you do.

He says “It’s some weird sexual fetish, I know cause I saw something on TV about it”.

For some, that’s enough info, and they go through life thinking that’s what it’s all about… except it’s about 90% wrong.

Now some Furries would write an encyclopedia on the subject, but I know darn well that if this post dribbles on too long that most, if not all of you will tune out, so lets get straight to the short and curlies.

A Furry is someone who “describes themselves as an animal” in much the same way that someone else might describe themselves as “Christian” or a “Footy Fan”.

Why do they do that?

Well everyone has different reasons, but a few include “Because I feel it’s my spirit animal” or “I’m a big fan of cartoon animals” or even “My mates all do it, so I thought I’d try it out too”.

Now a lot of Furries are highly creative, they can draw, paint, sew, design, write and are also often good with computers, in fact some people have said that if it wasn’t for the furries, half the internet wouldn’t work, I don’t know if that’s true, but it’s a fun rumour.

So, you’ll see Furry artwork, Hear Furry Music, and once in a while see Furries dressed in costumes which they very often make themselves after months of hard work, think of the work that goes into something like quilting and you’ll have the basic idea of the kind of effort involved, more on this later.

You may have probably seen a furry on Twitter or Facebook, and here’s an interesting thing, Spammers almost never use a Furry avatar, so if you see a person with a Furry avatar who wants to follow you, then it’s most likely a genuine person who reads your stuff and likes you.

But the sex? What about that?

Popular european conventions Eurofurence and ConFuzzled have announced their intent to form a combined body: EuroFuzzled.

The merger made a lot of sense, as slippery convention spokesotter Tungro explained:

Running a convention involves a lot of logistics and expertise, as well as time and commitment. In order to reduce costs and overlap, it is in the interests of both conventions to pool resources together.

The UK and DE editions of EuroFuzzled will still be lead by Matt Lion and Cheetah respectively; however, art show panels, registration systems, badge printers, regualar guests, hired entertainers and gophers will be shared between the conventions.

The news goes some way towards explaining the recent notice of ConFuzzled’s cancellation.

"It's when the darkness seems most severe that the storm clouds start to part and the sun starts to glimmer over the landscape. It's a scene not uncommon to literature, one that may have provided the opening image for thousands of unpublished works by now. This resonates with people because nobody goes through life without experiencing a winter to thaw out of- it may be a figurative winter, a season in a lifetime, a trial of mood that is met and conquered. Or it might be literal, evincing the real struggle against cold, one that comes on as firm and definite a schedule as the neat grid of an
