COVID-19 Report: Anthrocon and FWH

Ahmar Wolf

As US cases top 100,000 Anthrocon which has not officially cancelled or postponed. Announced on their site has made changes to their Registration Policy.

At this point, there are no plans to cancel Anthrocon 2020 and preparations for the convention are moving forward as normal. However, we are implementing the following options in regards to membership cancellations effective immediately:

  1. Donation of the membership costs to Anthrocon
    1. The membership will be canceled and the funds donated to Anthrocon.
  2. Deferral of the membership until 2021 (Default Selection) 
    1. If the membership is deferred you will receive a coupon code once registration for Anthrocon 2021 opens.
    2. The coupon has no cash value.  Once the membership is deferred refunds will no longer be issued.
    3. The deferred membership must be used for Anthrocon 2021. If you are unable to attend in 2021 the deferred membership will be forfeit.
  3. Partial Refund of the membership.
    1. Due to our payment processor changing full refund policies because of many Covid-19 related refunds, we are asking our attendees if they’re willing to cover refund costs. This is a small portion of the full refund amount (About 3-4%), but it would help Anthrocon to handle associated fees. Anthrocon will issue a full refund for all who wish.
    2. Request for a refund of the membership must be emailed to refunds@anthrocon.org. The email must include the following information:
      1. First and last name of the registrant.
      2. Badge name
      3. Email used to register
  4. Full Refund of the membership.
    1. Anthrocon will absorb the associated fees incurred by the refund.
    2. Request for a refund of the membership must be emailed to refunds@anthrocon.org. The email must include the following information:
      1. First and last name of the registrant.
      2. Badge name
      3. Email used to register

Words of Wisdom from The Dalai Lama

Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give. It is by giving warmth and affection, by having a genuine sense of concern for others, in other words through compassion, that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness.

I ATTENDED THE BIGGEST FURRY CONVENTION IN TEXAS by David Valdez

Ahmar Wolf

Centraltrack.com recently posted an article by David Valdez

Which goes on to talk about their experience at TFF

Personally, my identity as a gay man is inextricable from my place in furry. I met my boyfriend through this community, and he flew from his home in Indiana to attend TFF so we could be together in person for the first time since, well, the last time we were at the same convention. TFF is one of the very few places in Dallas where I genuinely feel safe holding my boyfriend’s hand, especially in light of the city’s frightening spate of hate crimes against LGBT individuals in recent years.

Overall it’s a good article and treats furries quite fairly. It presents things in a detailed but entertaining manner. Which I found quite truthful.
