I have returned from Furry Weekend Atlanta 2023, albeit I got hit with COVID and was knocked back for about two weeks. Still, despite this, I had an awesome time at Furry Weekend Atlanta!

It was my first time going to the convention in-person, and I got the chance to meet and work with the Vibe Night and Furality teams, as well as shake the paws of people I had been raving and dancing with for the last two or three years for the first time. Setting up the Gateway and VRChat Meet were both massive undertakings, but the teams came together and we pulled off the amazing! The Furality and Vibe Night teams were like families I never knew I had.

That VRChat Meet had to have had over 1,000 people!

This speaks to the power of our platform, and how VRChat can bring us all together, especially when conventions embrace its capabilities. I hope more conventions adopt VRChat meet-and-greets and portals, for they can only bring benefit to the conventions, spread the good word of the conventions, and get more people interested in actually attending! FWA demonstrated to me how conventions south of New Jersey operate, and it was a truly unique experience.

The raves! My God, the raves were incredible! I stayed up way passed 0200 on Monday morning to hear Burutatsu personally! The man flew all the way from Germany to play for us, and WarneD1 was just phenomenal!

I'm definitely making Furry Weekend Atlanta part of my yearly convention circuit. I can't wait to go next year!

Meanwhile, we've got Furality Sylva on the horizon this coming weekend, and I hope I see you all there! It's going to be an absolute blast and I'm honored to be part of the team!
