General
FIREFOXES ARE NOT LITERALLY, "FOXES ON FIRE", AND I'M NOT A BEAR!!
Remember- International Red Panda Day is the 3rd Saturday of September.
Visit: http://redpandanetwork.org/get-invo.....red-panda-day/ for more info.A note: I will be migrating to personal journaling on Weasyl. I will post on FA, news and references more often.
If interested on my thoughts, desires and plans, go to my account there: https://www.weasyl.com/~excelsior30

...and you want to make your journal pop? go here:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55619625/ The con is now over.
But I do have something to tell you, FC has broken a record of attendees:
It was fantastic after 2 years of cancellations that it has bounced back and it has fueled many hearts with lots of happiness, vibes, friendships and for some, love. For this con, it was filled with great moments and memories that can be unforgettable, and you may tell when I do post pictures soon for the fursuiters and the events that occured. You will soon see that at the beginning of the con, there is something from the local free newspaper, Metro hailing that the animals are back- Hooray, the newspaper is giving furries respect!: https://www.metrosiliconvalley.com/.....ention-center/ Upcoming, there will be a picture of this that I took-will be posted on FA eventually. Let's hope that 2024, there will be this again, especially if it were on the TV news channels....
If you remember the Roll Call I posted earlier for those that I saw on Twitter that are going to FC, I will see if I have reached my goal of getting pictures of at least half of what I posted up in the journal: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10441593/ If it is that I do meet that quota, then I will consider the con for me a success in meeting goals. If it is that I do get 80% which is 47 furs out of 58, then I will want to go and volunteer for the con and hopefully do enough to maybe get a Lion award from the FC staff.
A very important thing at one point in the con was that some attendees do notice that I somehow when I feel like it, talk iambically or rhyme. SO, this would mean that I can be a natural in perhaps doing poetry! I do not know if anyone would like, but I will give it a try for the FF'dom to read and hopefully absorb the nicety of poetry. Since I can speak some Spanish and French, I will try that as well!
I did dance most of the Dead Dog, and it was fun. With the final DJ
Midekai playing, I did go and dance on stage-it was what I wanted to do to finish out the whole con, and I had a blast. Really, for many that have came, I'm sure that they would say the same thing as well. I was able to overhear that when FC was cancelled, I did hear from one staff that is was unbelievable that a substitute FC MEETUP was held-she was involved and it was at the San Jose State campus ( https://www.sjsu.edu ), but what was on in 2022 was that some from as far as upstate New York attended- you remember the FC:Unleashed! winner, 
Fabgeroo? THAT UPSTATE NEW YORKER DID COME TO POP-UP FC LAST YEAR! WOW!! Also, the SJSU Students there were able to make a furry group there! So FC is really a con that is REALLY popular, and the FF'dom would suffer greatly if all of a sudden FC were to die. Yes like today, good things can come to an end and nothing would last forever, but let us hope that FC can be around for a LONG TIME-it would help us start the New Year after the hustle and bustle of the last year's holidays. Sure, there is the Japan Meeting of Furries and Anthro Northeast, but I think FC would be the premier con to get away from such year-end stress. We'd have to thank Martin Luther King Junior and Ronald Regan for making the third Monday in January possible.
One last thing, do look at Twitter- there is a TV with Camera that takes photos of fursuiters and posts them on Twitter. It is FurConAI: https://twitter.com/FurConAI . Do take a look at the antics the fursuiters and attendees have done there! Of course, I have appeared on the 16th waving for the last time, and acting all sad that the last hours of the con is near.
Related if you remember the last journal where I did a skit of Tony Bennett's song, "I Left my Heart in San Francisco": https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10447618/ I was getting very enotional as I was the last fursuiter at the time in the convention center. I nearly cried because of this- Bennett's song would be in his concerts, a finale, and me dancing to it would be a finale to the con itself and I did turn blue. However, when I attended Dead Dog, I still had that blueness, and when I found
Shadowcheetah passing out envelopes of Emergency Con Depression Kits, I was sad and I did break down. Shadow felt sympathy towards me, and he gave me a great big, long hug to comfort me. I thank him- really, if you ever see Shadow at FC or any con, value him GREATLY-his heart is like a diamond. I hope you all will find that cheetah in other cons-he's a wonderful soul.
A last thing, if you have heard of Ghost Cabbit (He has no FA, but a Twitter: https://twitter.com/GhostCabbit?s=20&t=AmRV2_AlwcaUWRmg1vYJCw FA pic is here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/35006236/) he was the one that posted that FurConAI Twitter, and it was yesterday that it was his birthday-he got a Lion award from FC for his devotion in making FC great. I congratulate him!
And so that is it for my Further Confusion experience, I made more friends and learned more stuff that I missed. I did miss it, and I'm glad that it has returned. There will be a 2024 iteration! Despite that the theme was not announced at-con, there was a leak from Fur Con Dances about the theme.... : https://twitter.com/FurConDances/st.....97172609462272
So get ready, it can be space themed, and despite that 2013 it was "The Furbidden Planet", I think there will be more of stars, Galaxies and even something from Star Wars and/or Star Trek included. Prepare yourselves!
But I do have something to tell you, FC has broken a record of attendees:
2023 FURCON HAS A RECORD OF 5388 ATTENDEES!!!
It was fantastic after 2 years of cancellations that it has bounced back and it has fueled many hearts with lots of happiness, vibes, friendships and for some, love.

So now, to the 5388 that have been here, thanks for everything. I saw you all from far away make it here- there's one from the NETHERLANDS make it here! Keep coming, San Jose is welcome to international furs as well! You all were sensational, and I like you all. Do have safe travels-the weather can get bad. I hope we can meet again here in San Jose, CA, and I hope to room at-con this time.
Now stay tuned for the FC fursuit uploads-I hope with my elephant brain will give you great memories!
It was worth the wait! I hope the pandemic ends so we can enjoy Furcon a whole lot more. This year, FC proves that even a dangerous virus and a rain with floods will not stop it-The show must go on!
Once again, thanks you all for everything-it was all of you that made the con great! See you again for 2024!!
GOODBYYYEEEEEE!!!
