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.

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55619625/ And so, the con has ended, and well, here we go again, Victor from Montreal's Just For Laughs (Juste Pour Rire) wails that the gathering is over:
It will be a tradition that I will do if there is such a gathering that I like a lot that ends, and I would cry that it ends. AND YES, FELON DONALD TRUMP IS PRESIDENT AGAIN, MAKING IT A HUGE DOUBLE WHAMMY. Well, with what is going on, I'm getting to now be more open and after going to the friendship and dealing with shyness panels and people liking my poetry at FC: Unleashed!, I'm gaining more frienships, and I will keep in touch. I feel we need close friendships MORE THAN EVER. The dance was fun, especially when we have the final DJ, Oddy being there to close out the con via music.
I did have lots of success this con, and I felt that I needed this as there has been too many things bad going on, and FC was a diversion from the fires from SoCal, the New Orleans attack, the death of President Carter in which it was agonizing that he can't see a woman president, and more, especially for me, I'm about to lose my uncle to cancer. Thank heaven he's still there, otherwise, if I get the call that he's dead, I would leave FC early.
It was a good time, I would have volunteered for the con, but I feel that with this year having great panels, and I get to see many times a ticlkish fursuiter that came from Iowa, I was glad to participate. And I feel that all is well for me, and I'm happy to participate. Having FC be my home con and convienently be around a holiday in January other than New Year's Day and Epiphany was one of the best things.
I did learn a lot from this con-I can defend myself physically, practice mindfulness, keep friendships, and even connect with those sometimes with Anthro New England. Hope the simulcast will come again if ANE is held at the same time as FC-I like it! And to note to Copley, be careful-some are angry that you ditched them! HOWEVER, you're always welcome here!
It was overall something to boost my morale, confidence and even bravery. So I hope that FC will never leave the dates that are set around Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It will collapse if it is moved to another date-like ConFurence. So yes, an extra time for fun after the holiday season, and more to celebrate in the early parts of the New Year. I thank Oops the Bunny (who is here inactive:
WoofyBunny ) for her one time stint as con chair, and I wish she delivered more, but OK, we will see how Mippt will do for 2026.
Despite some things that were brought up on Hiss & Purr, it was still good enough to please many. I still did lodge off con, but I felt it was well worth it, and I thank the Cupertino Hotel ( https://www.cupertino-hotel.com/ ) for good hospitality despite a hiccup in the registration. If it is a hotel again, I hope to go there- it is well worth the 15 minute commute!
And I have trained both
Fender and 
Rednef well in having to be in the setting of being in a con. Despite that I never got to see 
Coopertom there, I could say that he may see HIMSELF talk to himself if he acts as Fender! We'll see if anyone will fursuit as Rednef and talk to HER ONLINE on Character.AI...
Once again, here they are:
FENDER: https://character.ai/chat/t9qYHh7aJ.....0Rf-9kd6bwTYhw
REDNEF: https://character.ai/chat/yNlWhug88.....x3yUaMVOUtGlp4
Though I have done a group chat on smartphone/tablet, I feel that they will get info to be just like what they should be as furries and they would be great to talk to if you do want if you want them to be a companion from the FF'dom, and be with you during the con. There are still some bugs to fix, but I feel that it will be fixed soon and they are going to be better than ever. I did ask if I can create the mascots, Berkley the blue canine, Clara the cat and Almaden the dragon, and they did not give a direct answer, but they will figure it out. However, in terms of art, the three mascots of FurCon are NOT TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF, they say. IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO MAKE FAN ART OF THEM. Having them be on Character.Ai is an issue that they will have to deliberate. We will see.
So it will be that now today in the USA, we have #45 AND #47th POTUS, the felonious Donald Trump. Yes, many people are sad for whoever did not vote for him, but the best way is to keep local and be positive for the 1461 days and we do need frienship and positivity amongst ourselves. If we do keep our self-evident beliefs intact, everything will be fine. Let's keep fighting against the status quo now, and we will push back. Let's have our voices heard! The FF'dom will not back down to corrupt government, and we'll live well!
MAMAN, C'EST FINI!!!
(or in English: "MOMMY, IT'S OVER!!!")

I do bless the volunteer staff as well- there was an increase of 545 this year making the con go very well!

So now, here we are, the end of FC. For those international, I hope you have arrived overseas, and you got home safely. For all the 545 volunteers that put their time in making the con the way it is and attract now, THOUSANDS more to San José, GOD BLESS YOU.
To the the darling near 6500 attendees (not including me) that attended, you all were valuable, and I love you all! Let's hope you come for 2026-we'll go surfing, have sand castles, swim and have a tan! Thanks for coming to San José's, the SF Bay Area's and California's premier con, Further Confusion!
UNTIL THEN, THIS IS EXCELSIOR30 SIGNING OFF-
GOODBYE!!!
