Advice for setting up a fursuit lounge at event?

Furry Reddit - Wed 21 Aug 2013 - 06:49

A fair invited us and is offering us space to use on the grounds, an empty 16" truck with padlock to keep our stuff safe while we go out. It will probably be 6-10 fursuiters with bins.

There isn't power... we have to bring some, and fans, lights, and water coolers.

Any advice about how to power this? Best gear like lights? Anything else? Thanks!

Fur The Lifestylers, I'd Like To Share Our Stories.

Furry Reddit - Wed 21 Aug 2013 - 02:06

I've seen a lot of "coming out" posts about Furry on here in the past month or so, and coupled with that I have seen a lot of "Furry is just a hobby!" responses, that often carry themselves too far into putting down anyone who holds Furry so close to their heart that they do feel the need to "come out" and show just how big a part of their life this Fandom is. The are Hobbiests, and there are Lifestylers, and we are both equal in our participation in the Fandom. One is not better than the other, and it is time to stop having this Burned Fur - Freezing Fur discussion after a decade and a half.

I want us to share our stories, as Furry Lifestylers, so that it may become easier to understand just why this Fandom is such an important part of our life that it deserves a "coming out" along with other things which can be summed up as "Furry Pride."

**I feel like I was a Furry from birth. The Furry Lifestyle is one I have participated in since I can remember. In middle school I had many failed attempts of making paper ears and tails. I tried to draw Anthro, almost as instinct, and I knew that I had a special thing for Foxes that no one else understood.

I never had very many friends growing up. The conditions of my family's poverty in such a wealthy area as Orange County did not afford me the luxury of friendship. On top of that, my parents were rather isolated people. My father was a wreck of a "business man" who's living consisted with activities on par with selling things out of the back of a truck. He was also a Vicodin addict for two years. My mother was very sick for most of my childhood, physically and emotionally as well. My father was loud, abrasive, and often violent, especially as I grew up. These things made me shirk friends in the first place. Why would I want to bring one of my wealthy friends home to see my dump of a condo, and then see my "family"?

I guess you could say I retreated into the world of cartoon animals out of a wish to neglect reality, but I counter that with the fact that I just always assumed I was the only one like me. The minute I found this Fandom I was driven to be active in it. And so, Christmas morning, when I was 14, 2006, I got what little my parents could afford me. Books, which, looking back, were the greatest gift, but 14 year old me wanted trinkets, of which my one friend had aplenty. So I went across the street to his home, where his brand new PS2 was sitting waiting, and of course, I wasn't allowed to play it. So I got on his computer and, like a thousand times before, google image searched Foxes. Scrolling through page after page until I came to something I had never seen before anywhere else... but in my mind. Two young Anthro foxes reading a book. I was captivated, so I clicked and got taken to the site. I landed on [Taurin Fox's Website] (www.taurinfox.com) and all of a sudden...I was home in a home I never had. I had just, out of the blue, gotten confirmation of my feelings and learned that one person, at least one person out there was like me. The subject matter didn't even phase me. I had imagined that too a thousand times before and here I was being told by someone 3000 miles away "You are not alone!" And it gave me courage. Then revelation two hit, and for the second time in less than 5 minutes my life changed forever, as I realized...these were males...with other males, and it started dawning on me as well as well that I was not what I had been raised to think I was. I ravished the pages with my eyes and committed to memory the words "Yiff, Scritch, Murr, and Furry Fandom." I knew that, whatever Furries were, I was one of them, and I saved these words like the were burned into the back of my eyes for a time when I had my own computer and could research this on my own. Eventually my friend looked away from the PS2 and realized what was on his computer screen and made me get it off of there. He then proceeded to say how people like that should be killed. I guess those words effected me more than he expected them too, because it has made me one of the loudest, and proudest Furries ever.

I knew that day, at 14, what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, and that it would never be the same. I'm glad it never was. Through every trial in my life, every hardship in childhood, every act of irresponsibility of my father, every sickness of my mother, every year without necessities I could cling on knowing that out there there was a Fandom waiting for me, and I would join it beyond the screen. I promised myself that so long as this Fandom continued to open doors for me I would pass that light along to every Furry I meet. It has never stopped opening doors, and it has always given me the courage to overcome any task. Now, at 20, because of my devotion to the lifestyle that chose me, I run a very successful college club, Furry Club, which goes beyond the call and advocated for Furries on campus. I am producer of a play about Furries out of LA. I was able to step out from under my parents, taking evicition as an opportunity, moved in with my aunt, and now after a year have more money in my pocket that most of my fiends, and at 20, this Saturday, will be moving out on my own into a room I have rented in a home by my school and I will never stop being a Furry. Because I honestly believe that because of the existence of this Fandom, with its overwhelming acceptance and compassion, with its strong sense of family for those who have none, and with its fun spirit, I am proud to call myself a Furry Lifestyler.**

Furry Reddit - Tue 20 Aug 2013 - 21:14

Werewolves in the Big Easy

In-Fur-Nation - Tue 20 Aug 2013 - 19:24

We can’t put this any better than they do at Dark Horse: “Cassian Steele is the boss of the werewolf mafia in the Big Easy, and he’s got a problem. The old witch Verona knows his secret and has gone into hiding. Cassian wants her dead. So he sends out the word: An open contract. The first monster to dust Verona gets a big payday. What no one realizes is that Barnabus Black, a demon desperately trying to regain his halo, is her protection.” Kiss Me, Satan! is a new full-color miniseries written by Victor Gischler (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Spike—A Dark Place) and illustrated by Juan Ferreyra (Colder). Find out a lot more at Comic Book Resources. Then look for the premier this September.
