Howl'o'Ween thanks/stats and plans for next year.
16 years ago
Many thanks to all the Colorado furs that made this event happen and work so well! I hope everyone had fun and an enjoyable night!
We recovered 92% of our costs, which I am certainly not complaining about! Thanks to most everyone for contributing! I don't know what the final count was, but I counted about 80 during the announcement of the costume contest. So I'm guessing around 90-100 furs attended during the parts of the night.
The Masonic Temple director, John, had a really great time partying with us, if you couldn't already tell. He mentioned to me that he loves us because he thinks our organization is doing good/making a difference for the world by bringing people together to have fun. <3 Of course, I totally agreed and it has always been my intention to inspire people to understand that and other great and important things about the Furry Community!
He has already booked us for next year, on Saturday the 30th of October, and wants to do a lot of things to improve the party. Such things like running well past midnight and getting a temporary liquor license.
For the Norwegian lodge...well, I know that they didn't mean us any harm and did what they did out of ignorance. They, just a few people that their organization comprises, were honest and straightforward with us in sharing their feelings. All they wanted was a good reputation. I hope they can someday understand that being so unaccepting is a better way to loose a good reputation, esp with so many people using Google nowadays.

I had a great time at the party! I will definitely come again next year if I am able. Extended hours and a liquor license would be fantastic!

It was a fabulous party, I really loved it. I was telling all my friends it was a mini furcon, and the best thing to happen to this state since RMFC. If you got a liquor license you would make SO much money, holy crap. And I'd be paying into it. c.c That guy John was SO awesome he was like some insane Shakespearean guy pontificating at us about how he likes Natalie Portman "ah lawt". He was fabulous.
