It's con time! What do you pack? What should you expect when you're there? What's the best way to have a good time without dying? We ask our special guest: YOU. Hosting solo due to extreme weather, Tugs plays your voicemails and tips on what you do to get ready for cons and how you survive when you're there, plus some special Further Confusion specific tips. Later in the program, the cast interviews the Tycho from the Biggest Little Fur Con in Reno and learns what goes into making a con happen for the first time and why this new convention is different. We wrap it up with listener mail and explore some deep questions, such as "Do furries destroy families?" By the time you give this episode a listen, you'll be ready for upcoming conventions.

No disrespect intended to the yiff crowd. But I'm talking about the way Furaffinity for example has a list of fetishes as categories. I know the furry community is largely yiffers but it bothers me that it needs to be so right up front like that. It doesn't help the image, I mean it makes me feel weird telling people I'm a furry cause they automatically think "oh you like animal sex" Why can't we portray it as something cute and fluffy and innocent like a lot of it really is?

I work at a Hess station in Port Charlotte, FL. Just missed that a beautiful woman that came in my store briefly was wearing a tail because I was busy with other customers. Didn't even notice the tail until the guy at the counter pointed it out as she was walking to her car. My first time to really meet another furry face-to-face out in the wild and I missed it. FML. Anyone else have any close encounters as well?

Hi thar. Myself (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/inukaza/) and Kemushi (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/kemushi./) are heading a meet to Universal Studios next Sunday. Come and join us.

We will be meeting there at 9:00AM on Sunday at the Universal Parking Hub. (This is where the food stand is, where the parking garages meet.) We will decide as a group which park we will go to first. If you decide to only buy a 1 park pass, we will go to that park first, and we'll split afterwards.

TIPS/INFO Parking is 15$. Florida Resident 1 park ticket: $88.00 + Tax Florida Resident 2 park ticket: $123.00 + Tax Bring money for food, I'd say around $25 Min, Theme park food is expensive. Bring a change of clothes for water rides.

I MAY be able to give a 30% discount on admission tickets to a few individuals. I am a universal employee, and I am the one directing this meet. Send me a PM if you're interested in a discount for admission. You will need to bring the full ticket amount, just in case.

Universal does NOT allow suiting in their parks. We will play this by ear, but there is a possbility of a suiting event at a area around universal. This will be talked about and more info will be posted.

Please message me, for any other information. Or add me on Skype: Inukaza.

I learned that one of Reddit's co-founders committed suicide Friday. I feel we should do something for him.
