Also, any of you interested in attending them in general?Furthermore, for those who have attended what were your experiences like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkyway64 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Never been to one, never have been interested in going to one. Except really recently here as you've been hinting at wanting me to go with you to one next year, which I would if I had a way over that didn't involve my parents.

Scott7 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 If it was for and with a friend, then Yes. However If neither of those factor's apply, It'd be very awkward asking premission to get money for the flight from my parents...Beside's, I'm still not completly into the Furry Category, let alone the fursuit stage...

However If neither of those factor's apply, It'd be very awkward asking premission to get money for the flight from my parents...Beside's, I'm still not completly into the Furry Category, let alone the fursuit stage...I went on a Sunday to a fur con just for that day (arrived an hour before my friends) and it felt pretty awkward for me at first seeing all these people in fursuits and with ears and tails. Despite my overt involvement online with furries and the fandom in general it just felt...really weird doing all this in person and being associated with this entire con. All the stares and "WTF" expressions from the other people at the hotel didn't help much either.I felt that the con in general reeked of sexual overtones of sorts. I mean...the con floor of course is supposed to be PG. But it was obvious that there was an aura of sorts that the entire con was just....drenched in stuff that the majority of "normal" people wouldn't approve of. XD There's a reason why you need to be 18+ to go by yourself with no restrictions around the convention floor. A friend of mine wants me to go to Indy Fur Con next year but after hearing some of his NSFW stories involving one night at the con I'm not sure if I'm going to take him up on that offer.

Kid_Cortet Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I really want to attend...but because I know no other furries except online...plus the fact i have a social disorder (lol) I would feel way out of place at first...but eventually warm up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showtime 1-1 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 If there was a fur con nearby, and by some miracle I figured out a way to get there, I'd definitely want to go. I've no idea if I'd like it or not, but I would really like to go, just to see what it's like. After all, I am a furry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I'd rather go to a games one, but they dont exsist here. A fur con may suffice, but I can never find people to go with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 10 Things to do at a furry convention :1. Watch people act like idiots in glorified football mascot costumes2. Gossip3. Solicit sexual favors, bonus points if they never take off part of their fursuit. More bonus points if the fursuit is "anatomically correct."4. Haggle over the price of art that any art appraiser would deem utterly worthless5. Try to guess the REAL gender of the fursuiters6. Try to keep from being run over by idiots who think it is smart to drive with a fursuit on (those heads kill peripheral vision)7. Watch people Nerd-Dance, bonus points if they are wearing a fursuit8. Threaten to sue users of imageboards for copyright infringement9. Write your name in big letters over the front of an artwork as an indication of copyright ownership10. Try to find a story author who can actually spell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Someone doesn't like fur cons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"User" Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 #3 sounds pretty good. But she has to have a rabbit or vixen fursona and.....uh...never mind. Someone doesn't like fur cons.I wouldn't say he doesn't like them because of this list. More then likely he is making some hilarious remarks about cons in general - which made me lol. Sadly, some of them are pretty true to an extent. :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
