In an article on intomore.com Chris Stedman talks about his very first experience at a fur con ironically it is the same one I attend every year Midwest FurFest.
To quote the article:
First, there was one—a fox with an enormous tail of unnaturally red fur—and then another, a grinning blue wolf with a jaunty tongue slipping from his jowl. Soon, there were swarms of them, packs of humans wearing tails, ears, and some even bright, full-body animal suits, all migrating toward the Chicago O’Hare Hyatt.
