Alas the Season’s end has come upon us as we stand upon the pier of the internet, watching the year float out to sea like an over-bloated rusty cruise ship. You bags are packed with knowledge, prizes and an emergency supply of bacon. We bid you adieu, tiny tear stained hanky waving gracefully from our fingertips. But we send you off in good spirits, knowing we’ll meet again in the New Year. Thanks for joining us for season 2.

x-post from fursuitlounge: History of fursuiting
The problem is that Confurence 0, the first furry convention to take place, already had a Furry Costuming track, so I'm assuming that the furry parties held by the Rowrbrazzle APA and the C/FO at San Diego Comic Con in 1985/86 were where furry costuming was first adopted as a fandom activity?
Anyway, thanks for any replies in advance. Someone else asked a similar question to alt.fan.furry in 2008 and couldn't get a definitive answer, but I'm primarily looking for general views from active and veteran fursuiters on how far back you all think it goes.
EDIT Relevant to this community: Any references from historical sources (fanzines, con reports, etc.) would be nice.
EDIT 2: I'm using this article as a jumping off point, much of which is derived from this article by Fred Patten.

SWAT-Kats and More on DVD
One of the newest and perhaps most interesting developments of on-line shopping is the concept of on-demand DVD burning. In other words, they make it when you order it, and not before. That saves a great deal of money that would otherwise have to be sunk into creating “back stock” of items that might not be sold if only a limited audience is interested in them. Warner Brothers (parent company of Hanna-Barbera) is taking this to heart it seems, with several new offerings. One of them that furry fans should definitely take note of is SWAT-Kats: The Radical Squadron, available real-soon-now on demand as a 5-DVD set from TV Shows on DVD. The link will take you (more quickly) to the Warner Brothers site where you can order the DVD.

Harry Potter and the Boring Woodland Hike
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010)
Directed by David Yates
Written by Steve Kloves
Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint
Director David Yates has taken the Harry Potter franchise a long way from the Sorceror’s Stone. In the opening moments you get just a small taste of what’s ultimately the darkest two and a half hours yet — the Dursleys nervously moving out of their home at 4 Privet Drive because it’s “not safe,” Hermione erasing all traces of her existence with her muggle parents, and the torture and death of one of Hogwarts’ teachers. All this before the credits. What the hell is going on here? It doesn’t feel like all that long ago we were first looking at Diagon Alley.
Most of the old familiar places are nowhere to be found, however. Harry is whisked from Privet Drive to the Weasley Burrow, and the trip proves a lot more difficult than it should be for everyone involved. Death Eaters ruin everything. Another Death Eater attack disrupts a wedding there, and just like that Harry, Hermione and Ron are all but cut off from the wizarding world, their circle of reliable friends shrinking constantly as Voldemort solidifies his stranglehold on their society.
The story is exceptionally tense. The three young wizards are forced out into the world to find and destroy Voldemort’s remaining horcruxes, but they have no clue how to do that. In the book, the first half is bogged down with Harry and company wandering around, discovering clues and backstory by sheer luck most of the time.
Yates and writer Steve Kloves deserve credit for being able to take the first half of the story and inject it with all the fear, hopelessness and confusion that Rowling wanted while conjuring a narrative momentum that the novel lacked. Yates has proven to be an exceptional director for the latter half of the franchise because he’s able to get to the heart of Rowling’s intentions far more capably than she was able to do in the novel. Remember the Ministry of Magic throwdown in Order of the Phoenix? Yates was able to take the worst-written action sequence in all seven novels and make it one of the best scenes in all eight films. That, my friends, is talent not to be overlooked.
It helps that Radcliffe, Watson and Grint have turned into such capable actors. We’ve watched the cast and crew grow to meet the story’s demands, and by this point they’ve nailed everything they’ve been asked to do. Daniel needs to wear a bra so he can play Fleur Delacour pretending to be Harry Potter? Done. Need Radcliffe and Watson to kiss passionately for Ron’s jealous fever-dream, even though it’s (by all accounts) like making sweet love to your sister? No problem. There are a few other difficult sequences that Yates manages to pull off simply by giving enough of a damn about telling a good story, making sure the feel is exactly right. He gets his three young leads to jump right in with him, and the results are quite impressive.
Not quite everything lands, though. The movie is perhaps a little too long, and Ron’s jealousy of Harry and Hermione comes on a little too quickly even though you’re given all the pieces you need to explain it. And even though pains are taken to bring meaningful emotional beats on-screen, there’s still far too much that happens away from the camera. There’s a lot of death and tragedy that don’t have as much weight as they should. Even still, when tragedy is focused on, it’s really effective. I’m not ashamed to admit I teared up in a spot or two.
By the end of this first part, Harry and company have found their way at least. They know what the Deathly Hallows are and why Voldemort is looking for them, they’ve discovered how to destroy the horcruxes, and they’re slowly enabling themselves to put up a defense against Voldemort. The weakest part of the story has already been told. If the craftmanship behind it can make it this good, I can only imagine how kick-ass part two is going to be.
