DF Update - FF report, MFF Info and OED comp
13 years ago
Hey there everyone!
here again, back from FF safely. Best of wishes to all of you dealing with the storm, I really hope everyone is okay. :c I: FurFright Report
*** I've got to say that personally, this con was amazing. But as far as generally just dance associated stuff, it went very very well!
** We were personally thanked, during the closing ceremonies, by the chairman of FurFright, Belic Bear for hosting a cypher during the fire alarm catastrophy. He said it was great to have an uplifting group of people make a good thing out of a bad situation. He even jumped in himself and looked like he had a great time. So I'm really happy that we can bring happiness to people like that. So thank you to all of you who participated or even just came to enjoy the circle.
* The East Cost Swing and Lindy Hop panels were amazing. It was so great to see something different than just hip hop styles and such. I attended and it was easily one of my favorite panels of the con. So I really want to give a big thanks to JD and Sadie for holding that panel and taking the time to teach everyone the basics of a ballroom dance style.
- The DF cypher was small but very nice and fun. Thank you to everyone who came and participated!
- The Thriller panel was a great success and tons of fun for everyone I'm sure. Can't wait to see videos of it popping up on YT.
- A group of three dancers put on a last minute performance during the Masquerade and took first place for it.
- The dance competition this year was a good success and everyone had a grand performance that ended in a group gangnam style to end it. Congratulations to
for taking first place! II - Midwest FurFest Info

III: OED Dance Competition for a Free Fursuit
***
is holding a competition for dancers of all types to show there stuff for the grand prize of a Partial Suit made by her. I'm really excited for this event and I'm sure many of you are as well. I mean how many chances do you get to win a free fursuit? Not many to my knowledge :P The competition is open! So if you are interested please head over to her website: http://www.oneeyeddoe.com/oed-dance.....mpetition-2012 and check out all the info there. Everything you need to know is going to be laid out. Entries will be accepted once the competition is open.
This competition will not be held via FurAffinity, but through her own personal website. She would greatly appreciate it if you all spread the word about it as well though. She's looking for more dancers to dance in her suits! So the more competitors the merrier!
- Side notes:
* You can compete in or out of suit, it doesn't matter if you already have one or don't.
* There is a strict 1:30 time limit on the amount of time you have to dance. You can do less, but no more than this. You also have 30 seconds to introduce and say something about yourself, totaling for a 2:00 video. Be sure not to go over the dance limit. (this is listed wrong on the website at the moment, but this is the confirmed time limit.)
* If you have any troubles with your entry slot or putting your video in your slot, just send her a quick email about it and she should be able to resolve things quickly!
* There's also two public poll prizes for the public to vote on! So that's three different sets of prizes you can win by competing! *The grand prize winner is void from winning either of these slots*
If you're curious as to what her suits look like, you can find some on her website! But here is a video of one of her creations!
modeling the mask she made for 
And with all that said and done, here are you three weekly videos. Enjoy everyone and stay safe during the storm!

Hey Atsu, can you add a thing on here to tell people they can send their comments/questions/concerns to me regarding the FurFright dance competition? As good at it was this year, I want to make it better for next year.
