Furry Times (South Africa version) Sept 2016 Review

Confuzzled article

Which gave the con a good overall rating

Zootopia Review

Overall I agree with the review fair and to the point

Geekfest 2016

A South Africa furmeet I had no idea that even existed. The article made me feel I wish I was there.

Braai at Victor’s and the Election Day Furmeet

Both articles were great, gives one an insight to a part of the world for furries we now nothing about…except what we see on TV or online.

Meanwhile, the editorial was good because it was clear and to the point, which included a mission statement and what they hoped their version of Furry Times would become.

Anthroculture

Really gives a clear insight into what it is like to be a furry in South Africa.

Furry Science book review

Was honestly better and to the point that something I could write.

Sonic Boom Fire and Ice Review by Randall

More a preview

Overall

A great issue, the photos, and the art are great. Really my only complaint I wish they mentioned me and The Original Furry Times. But I hold no malice towards them they are just getting started…and it did take 2 years before the next issue was released.

The Fuzzy Princess Book Review

Seriously I forgot I picked this up at MFF last year and brought it with me when I had to see my doctor and what I found. Blew me away the humor and brilliance of this story of 3 anthro cats living with a family of humans. Their brother who can fly and their bear butler is totally delightful in this family-friendly story. I really didn’t even know this was the collected work of a webcomic The Fuzzy Princess check it out, it is worth getting.

MFF Passkey Disaster

If you were trying to book a room at the Hyatt Regency yesterday at the con rate for MFF more than likely you saw this.

Stating you have received a passkey error.

passkey. Noun. (plural passkeys) A key, especially in a hotel, that allows someone in authority to open any door. (computing) A password.

MFF did apologize for the problems some people had but I put that percentage totally based upon posts in social media somewhere between 80 – 93% or why would it take 40 minutes to sell out that block of rooms. Compared to last year when did didn’t use passkey and that block was sold out in 1 minute.

In my opinion MFF should either go back to the old system or fix the problem with passkey.

So You Want to be Chairman of a Con

Boozy Badger who I have the greatest respect for wrote on his own blog HERE what it is really like. If you think it’s easy, think again.

To quote the piece:

Now, I can hear people out there saying shit like, “But Boozy, a con chair can simply stack the Board of Directors with his friends and supporters when the convention is formed!” You’re right. A con chair sure as shit can, but it’s idiotic to do so, because the Board of Directors doesn’t owe a duty to the con chair. The Board of Directors, every member of the Board of Directors, owes a duty to the convention and the underlying non-profit corporation through something called “fiduciary duties.” These aren’t simple goddamn suggestions for the Board of Directors to follow, but rather actual legal duties that cannot be waived by the members of the Board, and a breach of those duties can make the board member personally liable to the corporation and/or to the membership of the convention itself.

From there on it gets into more detail…
