Cons are great. It's the only time I feel like there are other people like me in the world.

I will love to go to a con, but there is a problem going to the midwest convention. It is call money for gas. Because of gas going sky high, I will not go anywhere.

Blah, I would if I could drive and if I could speak decent English.

You type decent English, at least.

I actually find accents are really interesting and there are times when they are really funny.

I had a British friend who's father was talking to his neighbor. The neighbor had a son going to a high class art school in Europe, so my friend's father said "Ah yes, I always thought you son was a bit of an artsy." Now try saying that with a British accent, and let me know what you get and I'll let you know what the neighbor thought he heard the first time.

As for going to cons, I get the feeling furry cons are nowhere near as strange/interesting as anime cons. When you have like a whole bunch of guys dressed as Sailor Moon or Sailor Mini Moon, and doing the pose thing, even on pictures, it's interesting.

What do you do at Cons? I know there are lots of artists, there are usually some activities planned by the people there, what else?

Well... mostly you just meet people. I've been to all of one con, but I can tell you the highlight was having lunch and drinks with a group of furs at a restaurant near the hotel. I also checked out the dealer's hall, played furry Pictionary and sat in on two seminars on how to build a fursuit conducted by some professional fursuit makers. Most of the weekend was spent just hanging around with a large number of furs, though. It's basically about being with people like yourself.

Sounds very nice.

Although I must admit, I probably wouldn't fit in very well. My "furriness" is limited to an obsession (well, a strong interest) with foxes, very much liking furry art, so some wouldn't even consider that furry as much as "some one who likes art involving humanoid animals with a preference for a specific species." I'm a very marginal fur

Still, I'd love to go to one of those.

Question though. I heard that many furry conventions have a strict "furry only" policy where they want to avoid the media and other people. So, how do they know if you're a fur or not?

They don't. But if they post a no media policy in the con rules and someone disobeys it they're left open to recourse. There was actually a documentary film being shot at RMFC this year but the crew was being escorted around by the con's PR guy. They had to get a release from anyone who was going to be on tape.

you will meet me and my mate
