There's no business like show business
Like no business I know

One of the newest Fur cons will be opening its doors October 26th 2012 to its awaiting audience. This con is located in Nashville, TN with its theme: Musicals! What is more it is Opening Night! That will really come out when Rhubarb the Bear performs as he is the Musical GoH for the con. This bear has brought a few musicals to the fandom. His most recent premiered at Wild Nights to a standing ovation crowd, Fosgate: Ferret Loan Officer. He will be bringing his musical skills in several instruments in his own show and also a number of panels too. So he is not something to be missed.

Everything about it is appealing
everything that traffic will allow

Something that you might find appealing is we will be offering the Super sponsors of the con a neat perk and that is a Beer Keg for their use. If all goes well they might even break open a second one later in the con’s weekend. A number of perks are being planned for the upper membership. Autograph and contact books, personalized sketch books, an Aurora badge and more. You can only get these with the upper membership admission.

Nowhere could you get that happy feeling
When you are stealing that extra bow

You can get that happy feeling by being a part of the wine tasting that Fangcon will be offering. This will be a separate admission event during the con and something to look forward if you like to learn more about wine and would want to experience trying the different wines of the fermented grape. If you wish to be a part of this look for details on the Fangcon attendee forums. http://www.fangcon.org/forum/

As far as stealing a bow that would likely be Calamity Cougar, our Fursuiter of Performing. As one of the few “talking” fursuiters of the fandom he is one of the one of the most well known for his redneck slang and antics through other cons he has attended. He will be Emceeing The Furry Drama Show at Fangcon this year. So if you would like to submit a video, sing a song, have an instrument you can perform or have a skit you can learn more about the FDS at or http://fangcon.org/activities/furry-drama-show contact the show cast on the forums.

There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low

Yesterday they told you you would not go far
That night you open and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star
Let's go on with the show...

What a show it will be. Rhubarb the Bear will be there busking in the hallways and his own shows also. Vivaldi will also be The Music Man for his own Friday musical show also. On Sunday scheduled is Husky in Denial with his own performance. If you also want to catch all of them and maybe more in their own Jam session where who knows what will happen.

There is also something else to look forward to as our under study artist Wolfaya steps up on the stage as the artist GoH. She has been cranking out the artwork all year long for Fangcon and the critics are raving about her. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/wolfaya/ We are told she is expecting so we will be having a name the baby contest at the con. Who knows what we will come up with. Since she is expecting and we mean Very expecting, there stands a chance she may not be able to attend parts if not the whole con. The length stars will go to avoid the limelight!

The schedule is posted but we are always refining it, trying to make it better, much like Keefur’s bad jokes retelling them till one day they are funny. That day may never come, but unlike his jokes you can improve what we have to offer. Just contact us on the forum with what you would like to run or see. For the schedule take a look. http://fangcon.org/activities/2012/.....dule-of-events
