Flayrah marks a decade of furry news

Furry News Network - Tue 25 Jan 2011 - 11:26

Author: GreenReaper

Ten years ago today, Aureth launched Flayrah.com, a service providing “news, commentary, reviews, interviews, and user interactivity.”

A lot has changed since then. Furry conventions have grown four-fold, both in size and number. A multitude of comics, artists and websites have come and gone. Many fans have left the community for good – and many more have joined us and made it their home.

But the need for a good source of furry news remains.

Author: GreenReaper

Included in the coverage are kigurumi wearers and makers, local furs Lupus and Jackal, and professional animal costumer Alex Kovas – better known as “Humanimal“. Mentioned in passing is local convention RBW and the regular LondonFur meets.

Like the recent Halifax article, the newspaper contacted furs beforehand; Lupus admitted to using the opportunity to “[give] them what we wanted to give them.”

Further Confusion 2012 to be held in convention center

Furry News Network - Tue 25 Jan 2011 - 08:30

Author: GreenReaper

Further Confusion 2011 took place last weekend. Attendance was almost static at 2801, perhaps due to the continued weak state of the economy plus limited room; the Fairmont sold out by October. 477 participated in the fursuit parade, as verified by Flayrah in the dealers’ room.

$ 31,900 was raised by the sale of nearly 500 pieces, in an art auction consisting of almost 1000, while 113 dealers were present in the Den. The show suffered from poor lighting, but con leaders promised this would not be an issue in future years.

As for 2012, the big news is that FC intends to move to the San Jose Convention Center.

Furry News Network - Tue 25 Jan 2011 - 03:59

Author: ringtailedfox

A pair of foxes are minor celebrities in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, after being found hanging out on the roof of a home. They didn’t seem to mind the curious visitors that came to see them, and even mated in front of them at one point.

Philadelphia Valentine burlesque show to feature ‘furries’
Author: GreenReaper

The topic of anthropomorphic animals is coming to the Walking Fish Theatre next month, as it puts on a ‘furry’ Valentine edition of Revival Burlesque. [broadwayworld.com]

When the heir to the Yummy Pussy cat toy company fortune is kidnapped, her stepmother, Mrs. La Prix, hires a Private Jane to solve the mystery. One P.I. Martel and her boy Friday go undercover and infiltrate the secret nightclub, “The Fur Pile”.

Explore the seedy underbelly of the world of …”furries”?!?

The noir burlesque play – described as “like Hitchcock, but Grace Kelly is dead and there is more nudity” – was written by Max Guerin and is guest-directed by Madi Distefano (interview).

The show plays Friday 11th (8 & 10PM), Saturday 12th (8 & 10PM) and Monday 14th (7 & 9PM) at 2509 Frankford Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19125. Tickets are $ 15 online, or $ 18 at the door.

Elusive Cat Once Thought Extinct is Alive and OK in Borneo

furryne.ws - Mon 24 Jan 2011 - 18:53
"Almost everything scientists know about the Bornean bay cat is based on just 12 samples, the first of which was a skin collected in 1855 in Sarawak, Malaysia. In the several decades following this original discovery, seven other skins appeared. It wasn't until 1992 that a living specimen was obtained. Then, after another was captured in 1998, the species disappeared. It was widely thought to be extinct until a photograph was taken of a single cat in 2003. Now, the photographic record has expanded after three photographs, depicting two or three individuals, were captured by camera traps

Foxes make home on Charlottetown roof

furryne.ws - Mon 24 Jan 2011 - 18:53
"Two foxes have taken up residence in Charlottetown - on the roof of a home. The house in Lewis Point Park is now one of the most photographed spots in Charlottetown, as the foxes nap on the snow-covered roof. Tony Kelly said he snapped a series of pictures after his friend told him about the animals. "I didn't really know what he was talking about, so I come over, and he was at the door, and he told me to look over here on the roof," Kelly said. "I looked over, and here there was a couple of foxes curled up in the snowbank in the V of the roof." The foxes didn't seem to ca

American vs Japanese Animals

furryne.ws - Mon 24 Jan 2011 - 18:53
"Anime fans in both Japan and the barbarian nations have been pondering the rather pronounced differences in animal character design between the USA and Japan. Disturbingly, the American version could be recaptioned "furrie animals" without too much incongruity, although the same could probably be said of Japan's with respect to "moeblob animals.""

Editorial a4 Answering a Question About the Donation Drive

furryne.ws - Mon 24 Jan 2011 - 18:51
"Honestly - It's because I watched the situation unfold from the first tweet offering ThunderRoo a job, through his flight to Georgia, and then the drama unfolding with his parents and the rescue by ScottJFox. On top of that, I met him in person once he got to Atlanta. I talked with him, knew how much this new start meant to him and was upset and outraged that his parents would want to be so manipulative and controlling. He lost everything. His home. His savings. The new job. He is now hiding out from his parents and needs some hope. The people who donated to him have given him a

Okami was released on the wrong console at the wrong time

furryne.ws - Mon 24 Jan 2011 - 18:51
"Okami is one of the best games on the Wii but it was a flop when it was originally released on PlayStation 2. With Okamiden just a few months away, Capcom producer Motohide Eshiro has told Official Nintendo Magazine why such a critically acclaimed game didn't do the business."
