/fur/ - Furry★

I'll be going to AnthrOhio as my first convention next month. I'm hoping to have a good time, even I don't have the courage or the money to suit.

>>23035

Hmm, I might drive down to that one. a bit further from me than the mcfc location, but it would be doable for me.

Cons are pretty new to me too, this mcfc was only my second con, the first being last years mcfc, on its last day, so it probably doesn't count.

>>23062

You are missing out, my dude. I learned that after 10 years of being a furry. Going to a con and actually seeing the events is amazing. Even without friends, for me, the experience was surreal.

I'm currently drunk, forgive me if I'm rambling.

>>23063

I suppose it's better than staying inside if you don't have friends.

Speaking of MCFC, any of you degenerates going to its developmentally stunted fraternal twin, GLFC? I've been considering going just because it's a fairly short drive away from me but I'm not expecting much given its smaller size.

So, I'm curious.

What is there to actually DO at a con besides dress in fursuits and take lots of pictures of yourself doing so?

>>23070

Watching comedy shows, watching music shows, watching people in fursuits twerk on a dancefloor for an hour, getting drunk and doing everything previously stated.....

buying art, commisions and merchandise you can already do at home, but the con might make you more open to buying, given the setting.

My ex bought tickets for him and me to go to a con earlier this year when we were in a relationship, then never canceled them after things fell apart between us. So... I figured I'd use my ticket anyway and I ended up going to a con. It was neat, although I was way2shy to really get as much out of it as I could have.

>>23069

>GLFC takes place on the same date as AnthrOhio

FUCK, now I'm torn.

>>23063

I'll be going with a friend or two and I'm saving for buying loads of artwork and stuff.

>>23105

So basically just shit I can do at home. I'll even save money!

>>23147

Actually, the majority of events don't even get posted online (so far that I have seen from what i saw to what has been posted). So no, you can't.

>>23168

That's only assuming that the con-specific events are better than everything else, and thus worth the time. I highly doubt I could get any enjoyment out of a con without having a group of furry friends to go with. Cons are places to socialize, and almost all social activities (like sitting in a bar drinking) are objective wastes of time without that interpersonal element.

>>23169

From my personal experience, the comedy was far better than any other non-furry comedy shows i have seen. I've been on a few cruises and seen some very professional comedians. They just aren't as funny to me, since I can't relate.

The ability to relate to those around me, even though I didn't talk to them, has done wonders for my self confidence. I'm sure it would be the same for others too.

Also seeing people in suits dance provocatively with your own eyes. definitely worth it.

>>23063

>you are missing out

Nobody's missing out, when you've become so empty inside that social interaction is inseparable from your daily life.

>>23192

>seeing people in suits dance provocatively with your own eyes

>3D

>>23203

>>23202

is this a case of the fox and the grapes? why the simple attacks instead of actual arguments?

>>23192

I find I relate best to comedy by sad brutally-honest misers like Robin Williams and George Carlin. I can't imagine a comedy show made by furries would be anything other than memes and lolrandom and white-people-problems, because they're all financially-well-off, 20-something, manchildren. I certainly wouldn't find much to relate to except a like for anthro animals. As for the sexual element, I find pretty much all cub content in cons looks to be diaperfags and adult-babies, which is as disgusting to me as it is to anyone else so I wouldn't want anything to do with that aspect. My opinion of fursuits is primarily as a mechanical/artistic challenge, and secondarily as another socializing element; I don't have any attraction to them.

I missed out on FWA since plans fell through.

Honestly, aside ftom the suiters, dance, and panels, I mostly wanna go to the private bareback breeding parties.

>>23208

Here is one of the comedy shows I saw while I was at mcfc. I enjoyed it, not sure if its what you were expecting.

>>23208

You know you don't see cub stuff everywhere, right? There'll probably be one or two people walking around in adult-sized kid clothes (usually overalls and cartoon t-shirt). That's the most I see.

I used to go to FC every year. I had a good time.

>>23277

I wasn't convinced at first, but that Swat Kats and DuckTales theme song fuckery had me in tears. Thanks.

>>23204

>projection

404 fix

>>23202

>when you've become so empty inside that social interaction is inseparable from your daily life

Yes, it's the people that leave their parents' basements, to enjoy the company of others, who are empty inside.

I'd say kys, but I'm afraid you might actually do it.

I'm going with some older guys I don't know much about, but I'm also scared I'll just wander and be too scared to talk to people like I usually do in large crowds. I don't want to just drink and chat, I want to have fun too with a bunch of other shmoes.

>>23442

>typing about social life on an asian entertainment site

Normalfag, please. I'll have you know that >>>/4chan/ is that-a-way.

>>23192

is a con worth it if a person don't have any friends to go with?

>>23678

I went by myself and had a good time, so I would say it's worth it.

>>23678

You might make friends.

>>23683

The last time I really "made friends" was in middle school as a precursor to trying to have sex with them. I'm afraid if I try this with furries it would work a little TOO well...

Fuck. Didn't notice the thread, and went myself. Hope all you niggers had fun.

The Mead was amazing, am I right?

>>23069

GLFC is shit. Went last year. Barely any events, pretty slow. Just spent most of it smoking cloves, and checking out the Artists. Found a few that are pretty rocking to this very day, little known to boot.

Also won the silent auction for the growler, and the $50 gift card for craft beer. Shit's pretty neat-o at least.

>>23700

>after getting to know each other on a deeper level.

>not just jumping in like a slut hound.

Nah, I agree with you. Better to play it safe than sorry.

>>23031 (OP)

Lots of conventions planned this year: BLFC, Anthrocon, Defcon and MFF. Much full will be had at all of them.

>>23729

I'd go to more than one, but I probably can't get time off work.

i might go to blfc

I was a dealer at MCFC so I was there.

Had a family emergency so had to have fill in help so two friends had their first furry experience too.

Overall I like cons even if I'm there alone. Having a chance to talk to an artist I enjoy,watch someone sketch and some of the live events are worth it to me.

>>23839

My ex is one of those people who's quick to find fault with furry cons with real examples of stereotypes around. Cons need to be well-run, with good people and a good location, for him to like them. Oh, and he HATES Reno; family had a cabin there, and he used to say the place was a dump-- and says downtown still is. And he RAVES about BLFC.

He says the hotel is good; it has several good restaurants, arcade, go-karts, bowling alley, etc. attached. Says the staff seem to run things well, and the themes are more visible than at most cons. I'm going to try to make it next year.

>>23031 (OP)

I was at MCFC

I went to MFF for my first con, MCFC was a little disappointing.

>>23995

What events did you go see when you were at mcfc?

>>29430

Not me, will have to fly to Chicago around when its going on.

>>29430

I am!

I was also going to go to GLFC this weekend, but it got cancelled.

I'm thinking of volunteering at a con next year... any opinions...?

>>29531

but how would you know they are from 8chan?

>>29538

So... what like a secret codeword, or should be carry a blue-and-white scarf like the old gay-pocket-handkerchief-thing?

>>29531

I may be a sperg, but I don't see myself engaging in cringy activities (aside from attending furry conventions). I'm usually very reserved. Most cringeworthy thing Iv'e done (in my adult life) is go to non-furry cons wearing a furry con shirt, and that was only just recently.

>>29543

It shouldn't be too hard to spot fat gay autists in a crowd.

>>29555

>It shouldn't be too hard to spot fat gay autists in a crowd

Considering 90% of Americans are fat and look gay and act autistic, this won't work at all.

Also, I'm only one of those things and nobody can even tell, so...

>>29610

Everyone I've ever told, even close friends, thought it was a joke at first. You wouldn't even SEE me in a crowd I walk to goddamn fast.

Tarpaw in NC sucked.

Just plain awful, but then again, it was to be expected. And we were bugged all the time in every chat about it.

>>31560

I'll be there.

>>31685

If you don't have a printer, the pass-phrase is:

>"You know what happens when someone upsets me..."

>>31560

Had two offers for rooms but I decided to dip out this year. Last year AC cost me over 1000 bucks in money I actually spent and money I lost from missing work for a week. Plus I'm trying to get my finances going. I plan on going to do MFF though.

How is going alone? None of my friends are into furfaggotry

>>31805

I'm going alone as well, anon. From past experience and from what I've read, it can be as fun or as lame as you want it to be. There's going to be a pre-con mixer or something where you can just show up and meet people who are also attendees.

Personally, I expect I'll be spending a lot of the con in the gaming room.

>>31774

>You know what happens when someone upsets me

I know you don't mean it, but that sounds edgelord as fuck, in a 15 year old way.

Just ask how tall they are and if they say 'eight', you know they browse 4chan.

>>31993

>but that sounds edgelord as fuck

It's a quote from the movie, you lumbering underage buffoon.

>>32013

Yes clearly, but I don't think everyone you ask will know that. If you care about their opinion of you, you shouldn't say that.

>>32293

Fair enough.

>>32293

Actually, that passphrase is superb: everyone who isn't in on it will think you're a fucking tard and walk away, leaving the area free for 8channers.

Just hope they haven't seen the film or don't call security.

>>23031 (OP)

Which is more respectable, the second pic or the third?

>>31560

Job won't allow me to go to two cons. I'll be going next year to local Furry Fiesta and AC tho.

I went to Furpocalypse once back when it was called FurFright. I didn't really find much that interested me enough to justify going again, but I might consider it this year if I can pony up the forty bucks for a registration and afford to drive down to the hotel.

Any Furpocalypse peeps on? Is it getting any better? Is there still a pinball machine?

>convention organizer does a call me gesture toward me during a break in a panel he's giving

>go oh god he's gesturing at me d-did I do something wrong and never even actually talk to him

>>32510

>The good old days when Halloween was supposed to be scary instead of just cutesy

>The good old days when there was shit to do on Halloween more fun than annoying feminists

That rabbit looks like something I used to see in my nightmares when I was a kid. At least the Mickey Mouse masks are vaguely less creepy than the modern ones.

>>32578

Get some friends together, build a haunted house, and scare the shit out of the neighborhood kids.

That's what me and three cousins have been doing for the past SIX YEARS. It's practically a full theater production at this point (we have a variety of lights, music, fog machines, moving props, and costumed "actors" corresponding to different themed sections). Last year we had somewhere around 400 people come through, and some of the kids under ten might have been permanently traumatized.

It's freaking great; I highly recommend it.

>going to cons

Why? You pay $500+ in travel and hotel so you can talk to awkward ugly nerds that are hitting on you, casual sex with fursuiters, attend cringey trumblr-tier panels, waddle around a lame ass dealers den full of DA-tier "art", drink marked up booze with 30 yearold fags and generally want to kill yourself as you realize how god awful and cancerous the event you spent a million bucks to go to is.

>>32714

every time I went to a con I got drunk, got my dick wet, then the existential dread sets in. IDK how anyone else that isn't indoctrinated in to being a lifestyler can stand this shit

>>32718

>every time I went to a con I got drunk, got my dick wet

You either haven't been to many cons, or you're a walking petri dish cooking up new and exciting combinations of STDs, by now.

>>32599

did you just wear regular fursuits?

those used to scare the fuck out of me.

>>32724

Nah, my cousins are normies so we wear normie costumes. Monsters, clowns, hollywood horror villains --- stuff like that.

Although if I saved all the money I've spent over the years on the thing, I probably could have bought a fursuit by now...

>>32572

>you will never hunt a rabbit through the woods on Hallow's Eve

This is what I imagine a real furfag's dream to be like. Not sweating it out, in some rug roleplaying with a bunch of GRIDs victims.

I'm basically going to have to do a media blackout so I don't see everyone having fun at AC while I'm stuck at work ;-;

Is anyone here going to IndyFurCon? If so, do you think we could split a room? deleted last post b/c pic

>>33968

I'm gonna be getting there tonight. This is my first con so I don't really know what to expect, was just gonna walk around and experience the autism. I wouldn't be against hanging out for a while though.

>>34274

Autism abounds, anon. Like.. really cringey autism. Some nice people, though.

If you're up for it, hit me up on Telegram - @AutomataImperial

>>32710

uh, no???????????????

paid 70 for gas roundtrip

>>34084

I'm looking for room at IFC. The con is only about 1 1/2 hour from my apartment and since I skipped AC I'm looking to go to a cheaper con to get my fur fag fix

Plan on going to MFF.

>>32714

Essentially, if the con has a ball-pit it will always be a blast.

is there anything worse than Rainfurrest?

>>49688

>>49690

Fuck, 8chan wasn't letting me post, so I kept adding new images to the same post, and trying again and again.

DELET THIS

>>49691

8ch is also not letting me delete them either
