PITTSBURGH —Downtown Pittsburgh will take another walk on the wild side with the annual Anthrocon this weekend.

The furries -- people who are fascinated with anthropomorphics -- arrived Thursday for their national convention at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. The event runs through Sunday.

Anthrocon Chairman Samuel Conway says downtown has received his group with enthusiasm. "At lunch time, (people from) businesses come down and interact with us and it's like a big street party," Conway said. "It's fantastic."

While in town, many of the 5,000-plus visitors will stay dressed in full or partial animal costumes as they walk through the streets of the Golden Triangle.

Sometimes they're bombarded with requests to pose for pictures. Other times, people think they're weird.

"If they think we're weird, I suppose we are. This is not the type of thing you see every day," Conway said.

Anthrocon includes workshops, panel discussions, art exhibitions and vendors catering to fans of the human-like animal characters.

VisitPittsburgh estimates the convention has brought more than $34 million in direct spending to the city since it first arrived in 2006. Anthrocon has also raised more than $100,000 for local charities.

Been chatting with /u/introintroduction after seeing some interest in having a group of some sort for art buddies and the like. Tbh I've never really been in skype groups with random people, but I'm curious if having a group chat for art stuff is a thing people would want to do?

By art stuff, I genuinely don't even know what that would include. I'm just looking at this thread and wondering "hmm, should I make a skype group for people to lurk around in for art tips and chats and sharing and stuff?".

Is this a thing that would interest people, and is it a thing people have suggestions for? Cuz all I bring to the table is talking and critiquing and advice, but I'm friends with some people who would be good at art prompts and activities. And of course...regular chatter I guess.

SUGGEST

Edit: Intro: "I almost want to suggest this thing called Slack as opposed to skype" anyone familiar with the program besides him?

Anthrocon's relations with the local Pittsburgh TV stations has come a very long way since 2006, when a reporter called it "Artho-Con"..

[I have a habit of textwalls, plus sobby/hopeful hybrid warning!]
I'm a bit loose on the English language right now, so I'll get right to it.

Now I want to block the stupid emotion-venting by first stating I want you to be cheerful and just chat with each other in the comments. Use them for any purpose, even for keeping online notes if you like! :P
I've had a REALLY bad time lately. Everything was (and still is) lined up to beat me... I was doing badly in college even before my mum died, the only family member I could really relate to and be honest with.

I'm on-and-off poor, I'm confused in every way, I feel like my life has no potential or meaning.
I've lost a lot of my friends, online and off, for a silly cacophony of reasons.

First time I'm telling anyone... I wanted to... 'Not be here any more' a few days ago, but changed my mind because of my boyfriend... I went to tell him how thankful I am tonight (via Skype) but he spoke first; Leaving me (as in dumping; making single) on the grounds of us not doing enough in the real world, relying on online stuff too much.
And even he was there in the first place because I knew the guy before him simply wasn't coming back one day.

What I'm trying to say is - All I have left is the fandom and whatever music I make/download as time passes.
Maybe I have other things too, but on top of all my problems there's this... Other thing. It's some unseen force that saps all my drive, most days I don't know if I'm sleepy or genuinely don't want to wake up.

[TL;DR people are safe from here on]
It just sucks... I'm really sorry for doing a sob story, and I think this is the only subreddit that won't downvote me to like -200...
Could you guys just be happy, jokey and nice below? Not to me, but to yourselves and each other. I don't so much need support, I just want to know that some people socialised and were merry due to my request.
God I go on so much xD

Also special thanks to RathWolf, TheHealingFur and maybe CarbonDouble.
I won't invoke your user names, but you guys have been special helps to my sanity. Each in your own way. Thank you three especially, but thank you to all good furs, who read this or not. I mean it. <3
