Antheria is Canceled?? (Wait...no it's not....)
15 years ago
Someone has been going around posting that Antheria was canceled, it wasn't.
Antheria is happening from October 1 through October 3 at:
The Best Western Sunrise
400 North Harbor Drive
Redondo Beach, CA 90277
Call: (800) 334-7384
http://www.bestwestern-sunrise.com/
Reference: ANTHERIA
Also, all of the directing staff at Califur wish them the best of luck.
Here's how we'll address the rumors going on:
1. OFFICIALLY from the Chair and Co-Chair of Califur: NO, WE DON'T CARE IF THEY HOLD A CON! We permitted MOST of our staff to work for their convention, we could have easily told them that it's a conflict of interest, and they must choose one or the other. WE DID NOT. We support everything Antheria is doing as a convention, and hope they succeed. The immature brats who want to spread rumors that we wish their downfall, are as ill-informed as those who think myself, Hellfyre, is no longer Co-Chair for Califur. In fact, this is my announcement of my position as Califur 2011's Co-Chair. I will do my best to make 2011 as good as 2010, if not better!
2. OFFICIALLY, from 2 the Ranting Gryphon, and probably partially officially from Antheria: "I've heard from about a dozen separate furries now that Califur staff members are spreading rumors and telling people not to go to Antheria at the PS parties. Our unofficial policy is not to cater to drama. There's a very good chance that NONE of the rumors we've heard about each other are true at all."
I would have to agree with him entirely. There is NO CAUSE for Califur to tell people at the PS party to not attend Antheria. Anyone with a brain would know that the cons are 6 months apart. WE AREN'T COMPETING WITH EACHOTHER! Also, Rodney, of the PS house, personally wondered why Antheria wasn't there to pass out flyers to advertise their own convention! Rodney is a member of Califur himself, and one of the founding members of ConFurence. Why would he regret not seeing Antheria there and lack of their flyers, if he didn't want people to attend their convention?
I will offer the following. Anyone who has ANY questions, please post them below and i WILL go through each and every one of them and answer them. Anyone who has any judgements on either convention? Please wait until Antheria HAS it's first con, before judging them. I'm sure they'll be a great event, and like all other first-time cons, will have much room to grow. I hope to see all of you at Antheria, but in the event i can't make it, have fun and be safe! :)

Stop whining :P
Seriously, FC also wishes Antheria the best of success! Many of our staff and other locals are heading down south to enjoy the festivities. I have no idea if any of them will be working there, and I don't consider it any of my business anyway. If any of them do work I have no doubt they will provide the same excellent service for which FC has always been grateful.
I'd be going myself if time and money were not blocking me just now. :)
Seriously, if I was still in Cali I'd at least ghost that con if I could. You'd probably either see me hanging around the game room most of the time or kicking it with a few friends in a lounge area somewhere anyway.
but if not i still wish this new con luck with getting off the ground
although ive heard rumors of people not getting things ready in time
and lots of groaning about registration taking so long to get up and running
