Furclubbing: “A repeat/regular nightclub event by furries for furries.”  It’s a New Thing that’s been spreading since the late 2000’s.  This kind of dance party is independent from cons.  This builds on the growth of cons, and takes things farther.

It’s more ambitious than events that happen once, house parties, or informal meets.  Those can stay inner-focused for friends who already know each other.   This brings partnership with venues that aren’t hotels, and new supportive interest in the kind of events they host.  It crosses a line to public space.  A stranger may walk in off the street to discover their new favorite thing.  It encourages new blood, and crossover to other scenes. It makes subculture thrive. It’s a movement!

See the list of parties at The Furclub survey.  Any party that gives a Q&A will get a featured article.

Featured here is FurNightATX, a new event focused towards the Furry Fandom in Austin Texas.  It was shared by MC/organizer Haven, with extra-professional outreach (I love publicizing tips that come that way).  I asked if FurNightATX was affiliated with the irregular Austin Furry Dance series organized by Whines – they’re friendly but the events aren’t connected. That’s an interesting sign of independent activity.  Haven shares more:

FurNightATX (2016) ____________________  

• Website: www.furnightatx.com
• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FurNightATX
• Twitter: @furnightatx and @havenfusky

Who: 

Haven T. Fusky is founder and MC.  Edgewise Gryphon is the DJ, we’ll also have guest performers at different events.  @DarrohHuskers is our first guest DJ.  Check his MFF set.

What:

It is a club event that will feature a variety show, guest performers and DJs. There is a $5-$10 suggested donation with 50% of all donations going to a local animal organization.

When: 

Our first event is January 23rd, 2016. After that we hope to have it monthly.

Where: 

It will be held at Bout Time 2 in Austin Texas. There are restaurants and hotels located in the direct vicinity for those wishing to travel in. It is our hope to get all Texas furs in for a fun night here in Austin.

How it’s organized:

Haven has been working behind the scenes on other events (namely an LGBT Focused geek/gaming convention called HavenCon). Several fur friends had expressed an interest in a club night. So, Haven sat down and started working on it!

(HavenCon is a larger happening with “3 days of gaming and geek activities” – see him featured as the con’s mascot on the flyer.)

Vibe: 

We will definitely know this better after our first event. But it should be friendly and open. It is a 21+ event so we’re free to explore things. There should be a good mix of suiters and non-suiters alike!

Promotion: 

Promotion right now mainly consists of word of mouth and some FB advertising. Please visit our website and follow us on social media.

Reactions so far: 

The venue, BT2 is very excited to have us. Haven spent some time there bouncing around and talking with people and then dancing. Everyone had a great time interacting with him and so when we came up with the idea they agreed almost immediately.

Business details: 

Costs are minimal at this time, but as we grow and look to bring in more outside entertainment that may change. We will be looking into merchandise to sale to help support the event as well as the local animal organizations.

Good story about attending? Video or pics?  (Not yet, but I’m excited to see them when they happen!)

I've been a furry for a while, but never really done anything to portray it, and I'm wayyyy too shy to wear a tail, paws, or even s fursuit in public, but I'd like to ;w;

Any shyer suiters here that know how to get around that? x3

I've always enjoyed good furry art but I've never really had a furry 'sona. I'm looking for some people to maybe talk to on kik who can help me figure a few things out. I've been on a furry chat before but I was always using my same human avatar as ever.

How did you all pick your 'sonas?

Was it easy for you to decide species?

If I don't have a furry 'sona, am I not a furry?

And lastly, if anyone wants to pm me and maybe discuss things in private, I'd appreciate it. I'm more comfortable around girls/women just because that's what most of my friends are anyway.

I hope you all can help me figure out what the he'll I'm doing. _^

The snow was coming down in its sheets, covering the entirety of the park in a glistening white frost. When the sun came, kids came out in their warm hats and coats, making snowmen. A furry brought a frisbee and was tossing it around with his friends.

A dark blue and white sergal in his black jacket walked into the grounds, his hands in his pocket from the cold. Cecil had his earphones in, listening to some rock music, as he pondered over the proposition he had just received.

”So why don’t you come over to my place with my friends?” Ally, a purple owl, had asked him. He had replied with an I don’t know and left the classroom. They had been sitting together in that computer design class for the last couple months and if anyone was as close to a friend for Cecil, it was Abby. She always treated him nice.

The sergal reached a bench, brushed off the wet snow and sat down, looking around but not really paying much attention.

Should I go? It’d be nice to have more friends.

But they won’t like you when they meet you. You’re too depressing and you’re not that amazing or special. Hell, why would they care about you?

But how can I make myself better for them then?

You can’t. You’re going to be like this forever. A lonely sergal that nobody likes or finds worth in being your friend. Face it, it’s not worth going to the party. Why go in the first place?

Well, Ally invited me. That’s gotta be something.

That means nothing, you barely know her and she barely knows you.

Yeah, I guess you’re right. Why should I bother to go anyway.?

A soccer ball rolled to his feet. A small feline kid lookig to be around ten followed it. He picked up the ball and noticed the sergal.

“Sorry sir.” The kid shifted his feet nervously, then he recognized the look on Cecil’s face. “Why are you so sad?”

“Because I can’t make friends.” Cecil replied, taking an earphone out to talk to this kid.

“Why?”

“I just can’t. Nobody can like me.”

“Has anyone told you that?”

The sergal thought, then shook his head. “Haven’t met many people.”

“Then try to. If you want anybody to tell you that, make friends,” The kid ran back to the field with his ball as Cecil sat there, thinking.

Thanks for reading! This is a preview to a long story I'm working on currently and will post in a month or so hopefully.

*totally not typing this twice cause I accidentally closed firefox

Hello! As the title says I am brand new to the furry fandom, and just felt like doing a quick little intro type post to start off with.

I'm a 16 year old guy living in Oregon of the U.S. and only just joined the furry fandom about a week ago, although I've known about it basically since I started using the internet (only 2009 but whatever). I've never held a grudge against furries, but, until recently, I never looked further into it. After doing so though, I found that the fandom caters to my interests a good amount. I haven't made up a fursona yet, as I've still been thinking, but I'm thinking of having it as a gryphon cause gryphons are pretty awesome.

So yeah, that was my little introduction post :)

Helol Internet, TanuRaccoon here.

I just recently stumbled acrossed this subreddit and quickly grew tired of just lurking. So I decided to introduce myself. To start things off I've been in the fandom for a number of years. I just haven't been involved outside of pintrest and a little forum site that I'm barely active on. I'm from Northern California and live in a very small town, so I don't actually have any friends within the fandom. For a while I thought that was ok with me as I am very anti social and often felt there wouldn't be anything I could add to the conversation anyway.

Today that changes! So if you have any questions for me, ask away.
