UK fuzzbutts?
British/Canadian wuff here...I'll be backpacking in the UK soon, looks like October. I'm curious if any of the /r/furry members reside across the pond? If so, where, and would anyone be willing to get to communicating and hanging out if/when I'm in your area? Just think it'd be cool to meet some international furs :3

Fur-tastic fun for all
An article in the NewsMail, a daily newspaper serving Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia:
http://www.news-mail.com.au/story/2012/08/09/fur-tastic-fun-for-all/
The article previews the first meeting of the Bundaberg furry community, to occur at the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens on Sunday.
WHAT do you get if you put a giant fox, dingo, husky, lion and rat in the same place?
The first meeting of the Bundaberg furry community.
Confused? Well taking a walk through the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens on Sunday may or may not clear things up, but either way it will be an interesting sight.
Hayden Grant (aka Bingo Fox) and Maui Warrigal will dress up in their animal fur suits this weekend with up to 10 other animal characters for an afternoon of fur suiting.
"I first heard about it 2-3 years ago," Mr Grant said.
"I found out there was a conference being held in Brisbane and went along.
"From there I was hooked; I came up with my animal persona and about six month later my Bingo Fox costume was ready."
Mr Grant said the freedom of taking on an animal persona, a fursona, was what attracted him to anthropomorphic animals with human characteristics.
"Think of talking cartoon animals, sports team mascots and you have an idea of what it's all about," he said.
"Your animal character can have a completely different personality.
"It's just a lot of fun to dress up and run around."
And the trend is also big business, especially in America.
"Conferences and meeting in America attract thousands of furries," he said.
"Costumes can cost anywhere from $500 to $5000."
Brisbane's annual furry event, RivFur, attracts up to 150 furries, while on the Gold Coast an annual event sees more than 300 come together.
And while the BundyFur group has only been in existence for about two weeks, it has already gained interest from numerous furries.
"Furries will be travelling from Brisbane and Gladstone for this event," Mr Grant said.
"It all started after Maui and I decided that we wanted to go suiting again before summer.
"Now we currently have 15 registered people that will be attending, not including their friends and family."
Bundaberg's first FurMeet will take place on Sunday at the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens from 10am-3pm.

House Pets: New Contributer
A Different Kind of Monster Battle
If you haven’t seen it so far, Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters is the latest “re-imagining” of a classic product line to premier on The Hub network — in this case back in June. Kaijudo is a new version of the Duel Masters series by Wizards of the Coast (which, like The Hub, is a division of Hasbro Toys). This time around, the creators of this new show (specifically Andrew Robinson and Henry Gilroy from The Hub) wanted to have a different take on the “young kids and their fighting pet monsters” genre. The creatures of Kaijudo come to Earth from another dimension, and they can’t just be called up or sent back by the flip of a card. What’s more, our hero — a young boy named Ray, voiced by Scott Wolf) — has a special power of empathy with the monsters, and so he is very connected when they are hurt or made to suffer. According to the creators, they wanted a show where the heroes, the villains, and even the companion monsters show much more personality than shows like these have seen in the past. Have they succeeded? Find out for yourself. New episodes of Kaijudo currently air on The Hub on Saturdays at 8 pm Eastern, 5 pm Pacific. Check out the official Kaijudo web page from The Hub as well.
Western furries or Eastern furries? What's your favorite style?
A question that makes you think. Do you prefer western art of furries? Or Eastern/kemono art? I've noticed that there's some clear distinctions between them.
I prefer the kemono style over western by a bit. They look cuter. But When I draw. I try to make combination of both, but so far it's learning to the eastern style.
