Anderson: ‘It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever done’
Really it a great piece on what it was like for a newbie to the fandom to come to their very first furcon as a newbie to the furry fandom. Ironically the main focus of the piece Tom Anderson and I went to the very same furcon at the very same time that was MFF 2013. Except for him I was a mess. I know my experience isn’t typical but it does happen. Going to your very first fur con is to say the least unique. That is why I generally advise people when you go to your first have friends come along. This way you can handle things better if things can get overwhelming. Well that is what happened to me, and not Mr. Anderson who had a good time. I encourage everyone to go to a fur con at least once in their lives. Ironically again, even though MFF 2013 was my first. If I had to do it again, I would of went to a smaller con first. The sight of nearly 9,000 furries at MFF this year was and can be overwhelming, especially to those who have trouble dealing with large numbers of people.

MFF 2017 Dealers Area
#Furfest MFF 2017 Just because they placed the Dealer Area in a new space still doesn’t mean it was less crowded.
Debit Cards at MFF were hacked at ATM
There has been multiple reports of a card swiping device that was inserted at the ATM in the Hyatt during MFF. I urge everyone who used that ATM to check your accounts asap. There has been several reports of attempts to steal monies from various accounts. Please contact your bank ASAP and have them issue you a new card.

To the plot I quote the description the publisher Rabbit Valley has posted

Learn about his first encounters with John and Arthur and how they became the friends they are today. And, yes, you’ll finally learn exactly how a smart guy like Paulie ended up sick. Circles Issue 5: A Time of Innocence.
Issue 6: Sometimes people make mistakes, and they need to take responsibility for what they have done. That’s a lesson Doug has been learning, and his return to Kinsey Circle brings with it a revelation and a new twist to his relationship with Paulie. Will their relationship survive the new roles they must assume? Find out in Circles Issue 6: Life is What Happens to You When You’re Busy Making Other Plans.

REVIEW
Look I am straight guy and like most straight people we haven’t a clue when it comes to the gay community. But yet more gays than I can mention has told me to read Circles. It may just involve anthro characters but the writing is compelling, the story arch is wonderful, and you really feel for these characters. You feel sorry when they are down, and share there joys when all goes right. As strange as this sounds my favorite character is Douglas, who just happens to be a skunk and is jewish also one who was unsure where does he stand in this life. I know it’s the same for most. Your life echos these fictional characters gay or not. Which really says a lot for how these stories.
In short a solid 10 out of 10.
MFF 2017 Fursuiters Taking It Easy
The Reason why Robert Sojkowski AKA Magnus Diridan is Screwed
I seen a lot of talk on both Facebook and Twitter about Robert Sojkowski AKA Magnus Diridan wondering if there was other footage of him acting stupid which them lead to his arrest. Some might be surprised to learned there is, and that is from the security cameras. Before any says what cameras think back to MFF the one that had the chlorine attack. The reason why nobody knows who did it because of lack of security cameras in and around the hotel. Well both the Hyatt and the nearby convention center now have more cameras than anyone will admit all installed shortly there after. So many in fact it took almost a full year to install. Many of the outside ones are also able to record sound. Meaning folks everything he said and done is on video and more than likely in the hands of both the State’s Attorney and the Rosemont Police. I advise anyone who knows this idiot, plead guilty. There is no way your getting off from lack of evidence.
