Tag: Fur Squared

I know I didn’t show this to you when I was talking about Con Swag. I only found it the other day as I was going through everything I got. Which I admit is a lot. It was in the 2nd backpak. The one that folds flat and looks more like a handkerchief. It was in there, so I continue to check everything. I might find something else.

This is F2 Super Sponsor Swag

I am not kidding when I say that is the most I have ever gotten from a con, and yes all that was Con Swag. This was my 14th fur con and even I am amazed. How often you get a backpack and a poster for free.

So how was F2? Despite the initial confusion where is the entrance and Check In. I would say everything I ever heard about F2 was right. The staff super friendly, the con suite okay, panels fantastic and I am not saying that because I had one. Even the expansion in to the convention center was beyond what I expected.

Once you been through both the 4th and 5th floors where the con took place. You soon get the layout memorized.

You know security with the metal detectors heard Alkali from the 2nd stage to where they are stationed.

Okay I admit this is something I have complained about at other cons. The availability of food. With the 3rd Street Market being about a block and 1/2 from the main hotel. You could get anything you want.

Me

Best mac and cheese I ever had in my life

As to how to kill the down times with 2 museums 1 being the Harley Davidson you have zero problems.

Speaking of which Amtrak and Greyhound shared station is 3 blocks from the hotel and a mile from the airport.

It was a great relaxed con, and I will be returning

With that, the Haunted Masquerade comes to a close—but fear not! FurSquared will return in 2026 with RENFUR ²: THE ROYAL TOURNAMENT! ⚔️✨ Join us for a grand adventure at the Hilton, February 5-8. See you there, noble furs!

They might have called it 4 different panels. I call it the grandest closing i ever seen. Everything from stories, songs, ghosts to whatever it was so damn amazing.

That above photo doesn’t do it justice

It was nothing short than amazing

Facts and Figures

As in so…

Attendance 2128

$24,454 goes to HAWAS

All of that is record numbers.

Does it mean… that i am unsure about. But i guess it is a combo of people who missed last year’s and newbies. There certainly was a lost in the audience

I was glad to hear they are going to do another furwalk next year, keep the formal ball, and Majic Records is returning.

As for next year

Ren Fur A Royal Tournament

Feb 5-8 2026

I learned a lot about running a panel. Even how i should have submitted my idea to the con.

What i should have said

A free and open discussion on both games in general as well as the 3DS. Meet other Streetpass users.

Prepare for paperwork. Okay it was just a single sheet, and filling it out is easy. More common sense than anything else

So, with bonus hours and the actual panel, you know what Fur Squared gave me?

A key fob with the word volunteer.

Which is packed up in my suitcase. I leave tomorrow.

I will be posting a showcase of swag a bit later.

Right now going to different panels are common.

But the day had a few stand out

Who’s Lion

Super Sponsor Dinner

Did get a badge commission for a friend.

And then there was…

Down Bad Furlesque

Between us they didn’t do a nudie show. More like sexy dance moves and teaser challenges.  To those who enjoyed the show enough to accept an invite to come on stage

It was packed, every seat filled. They also had a rule to keep paths clear.

Also it was loud. They had ear plugs available. Which helped some what.

Enjoyable show overall

Ghost Hunting later meant things that happened at the fur con stays at the fur con.

Bringing a salad with me has really helped. Certainly a lot cheaper than one from any local places.

They posted the times for Artist Alley was wrong. Which means i got to go today.

Fur Squared isn’t that complicated to get around. Once i figured out where things were.  Artists Alley being at the end of a long hallway.

Heard 2 totally opposite reasons why Alkali is not at MFF. ALL i can say if you want Alkali at MFF. Drop them a message
