Foxicon, deliberately or not, did alienate itself. Regardless of who's currently in charge, the bitter fact is that events of the past still cling to it like a parasite simply because the individuals involved could not bury the hatchet, despite my best efforts to repair the situation behind the scenes. Since I left last fall (due to personal reasons), the convention slowly faded in to obscurity. Part of this is because I was in charge of social media, and they never found anyone to take my place. Do I want it to fail? No. However, I'm no longer part of Foxicon. If I was asked... begged to come back, I would consider it, but I doubt that will ever happen. To be honest, I don't think I want to ever return to Foxicon. It's better if I go on to do my own thing.

I would like to start fresh. I'd like to start a mini-convention which could serve as a stepping stone. A non-incorporated, 1 day annual convention geared to a smaller crowd that's cheap to operate and cheap to attend. It'll have the feel of a large meet, with the addition of live entertainers and a dealer's den. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity. I would call it the South Central Iowa Furry Convention, or SciFur.
