Alright, so hopefully there are some fur's out there that read this awesome web-comic called The Oatmeal The basis of this fun-raiser has quite the comedic history and hey. It helps animals and it helps fight cancer.

If you fellow furs are interested in helping out toss some bills to Bearlove good. Cancer Bad. Be nice to see us make a bit of difference once in a while _^

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/06/18/breakdancing-furries-video_n_1605416.html?just_reloaded=1

Random article is random lol. It doesn't seem to be talking about anthrocon, just furries in general as a whole. good going I guess? :p


What's a 'furry', you ask? Well, that's a fair enough question. A furry is a person - to quote Wikipedia for a moment - who likes to dress up as a "fictional non-human character with human characteristics".

That is to say, a person who likes to dress up in a human-like wolf costume (or the like) and have a load of fun whilst wearing it. There's no denying that's a smidge odd, of course, but what's important here for these furries who go to furry conventions is that they're obviously having the time of their lives.

To show you what we mean, here's a video from last year's 'Anthrocon' at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which shows a group of more athletic human beings (in their 'fursuits') giving it some on the dancefloor to the tune of Missy Elliott's 4 My People. As you do.

And for some animals behaving like humans, here's a video gallery of some cats and dogs and so on pretending they're one of us. N.B. None of them actually breakdance. Sorry about that.

Gotta love the Japanese sometimes — especially their animation, of course. Kanokon is a direct-to-video animated series from Media Blasters.  It is decidedly adult in nature, though not pornographic. Here, we’ll let them describe it: “Kouta, a country boy who lives with his grandfather, is moving to the city to attend high school. Changes come with his new home and new school, but nothing could have prepared the gentle young man for girls, specifically a bombshell fox spirit named Chizuru! As if her aggressive advances weren’t enough, he also catches the attention of a frosty wolf spirit named Nozomu. Kouta is dragged into supernatural events as a result of his contact with the two girls, and his school life only gets more chaotic by the day. But with a girl who gives ‘foxy’ new meaning and another howling after him, things are looking up for his love life.”  Now Media Blasters have released all the Kanokon episodes in one DVD collection.  RightStuf.com has information on it and other special releases from the series.

Hello Papabear, 

Um first time reader and writer to your website.

I've been trying to get back into drawing lately, but haven't been able to get into the flow of it and get frustrated and toss my sketch away, but when I get told to take a break from drawing that is the opposite of what I wanna do. 

What advice could you give to get my head outta the gutter and get me back to drawing or sketching?

Krew

* * *

Dear Krew,

Drawing is similar to writing in that they are both artistic endeavors; therefore, some of the same rules apply to both. Have you ever heard of the 10,000-hour rule? This theory says that anyone can become an expert at something if they stick to it religiously for 10,000 hours. That means if you worked at it for 4 hours a day, 7 days a week, you would become a fabulous artist in about 6 and a half years or so. A less stringent guideline is the 1,000 hour rule that says you can become pretty good at something with 1,000 hours of practice.

That’s just a general notion, I suppose. Some people are gifted with natural artistic talent, and for them they can achieve much more in a much shorter time. But even if you are a terrible artist now, the point is that anyone can improve with lots of hard work.

What you need to do, Krew, is set aside specific hours each week to concentrate on your drawing. Find a place where you can focus without distraction and enjoy the process of drawing. It is clearly in your blood because when you aren’t drawing it is all you think about, right?

Now the other thing you need to do is get rid of that inner critic—the artist’s worst enemy, the one that makes you throw away your sketches as soon as you draw them. Instead of tossing them, keep them, even the ones you really hate. Keep them in folders and date them. Then keep drawing. Then, a few months, or maybe a year or more from now, go back and look at them and compare them to what you are currently drawing. If you have been practicing at least 10 or more hours a week, Papabear bets you will see considerable improvement.

Here’s some evidence to back up: 
Yours truly, a nonartist, drew it after a few lessons.

Maybe not great art, but not bad, right? Papabear would love to see some of your art sometime.

Bear Hugs,

Papabear

So, this week while everyone was away to Anthrocon, Shiva of Knotcast, (www.foxstuffers.com), invited us to join our podcasts together to meld some crazy unusual creature while all of her hosts were away at con. This special episode is full of rants, comedy, and a good amount of the serious face. We got into some of our Emails and caught up on some of our backlog. Also Knotcast shared some of their emails with us to share.

This episode recounts on the many tales of the famed vagoo and the mystery workings of the “teeth and gears” that surround it. Knotcast’s topic for the week was Women in the Fandom which we melded with out Gossip topic to create a most…interesting combination.

We are almost caught up on our emails but we urge you to send us e-mails as we are here to assit! Next episode will be business as normal and The bunny will be retelling his Anthrocon adventures! Next episode topic we will be revising CONVENTIONS. Given that Anthrocon is still fresh in everyone’s minds, send in you recaps of Anthrocon, or any other conventions for that matter. Anything convention related, and of course any other emails will get read so send them on in! Write in and let us know, we’re here to lend a hand!

I don't know any furries IRL so I was just wondering what you guys do for fun. You know hobbies, interests, so on and so forth. I'm also interested in the most common religion among furs so you can post it if you wish. I'll start. I am a Thai Boxer (not pro learning). Also I enjoy running. I also like to go target shooting, and I am especially fond of skeet shooting. I also play X-box with my friend, mainly battlefield 3. I love horror games, and I especially love Resident Evil. Some of my favorite shows are Dexter, House, Scrubs, Breaking Bad, and the Simpsons. Finally I am an Atheist, however I have nothing against religion, and don't argue about it. Well that's all. If you don't feel like posting move on, but if you do I'm interested in knowing about my fellow furs. Edit: Forgot to mention I'm a high school student, and I have minor artistic ability. Edit 2: Also forgot that I love knives, and I both collect them and mess around with them on a daily basses. Also forgot to mention I love the show firefly. Final Edit: I am aninjawolf on FA, and 0beseninja on twitter for anyone who wishes to contact me, or if you just want to follow/watch.

Is there much of a community in Portland? And, more importantly (as I'm not the most social type), are there any shops or places I could go to find a tail or something similar? I figure that, Portland being as weird as it prides itself on being, there must be something along those lines (maybe even at the Saturday Market?), but I've had no luck thus far.

Thanks in advance!

-Krim

(p.s. When I say "tails", I obviously mean the synthetic sort...)

If you guys are interested, let me know or if you guys could point me in the direction of any top-notch commissioners. I would like something to tote around for Otakon in a month.

Title says all. I'm looking to find paws to wear around like you would find in a partial. They can even be shorter in length (like gloves that go halfway to your elbow). I looked around Anthrocon all weekend, but normal fox paws seem rare (that or I looked too late into the weekend). Google has also proved worthless in this venture as I can't find anything through that either.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

I just saw all the downvotes to this post. We are all aware that Marijuana is the #1 safest recreational substance that you can enjoy right?

I just love getting high at furry cons and then seeing all the fursuiters all around me. It's awesome!
