Confusion at the Furry Weekend

Further Confusion and Furry Weekend Atlanta have both broken previous known convention records.

Furry Weekend Atlanta has also broken attendance records - boasting a massive 37% increase of attendance and cementing it's place as the world's fourth largest furry convention.
