Con Review: IFC
12 years ago
DEAR FURRIES, I typed this to someone who has never been to a con, let alone IFC. I noticed I wrote a report on it pretty much and wanted to share for those that either a)didn't know IFC existed, 2) have heard but not felt committed to it and/or c) wanted to go but were unsure of it.
I've attended IFC since its inception and haven't missed one yet. I seriously believe this is the best con. Ever.
1) It's cheaper than most cons.
2) The staff is EXTREMELY friendly and ready to help in ANY situation.
3) It's a little enough con where you see familiar faces but don't feel overwhelmed. It's a big enough con though that you see new faces every year.
You can either try Artist Alley to make some extra money! You can shop in the Dealer's Den/Artist Alley for artwork, t-shirts, comic books and other merchandise. Cosplay is just as welcome as fursuiting so go ahead! There are artist panels, game tournaments, dances and the zoo to just sit around and do whatever!
This also a generally 'safe' con-- as in I've never been touched in an inappropriate manner. If you need a booth for Dealer's Den, I advise you to check as early as possible. Artist Alley is a better choice if you're not as serious about business. If you wish to do badges, Artist Alley OR Dealer's Den are your optional choices as there is no 'under the table' commissions allowed aka don't transfer money unless you're working in AA or DD.
To rate this con, it would be a 10 out of 10 for me; for the reasons that beginners who are new to cons can get a good feel of them, people that want to have fun and still manage stability can attend without worry, and it's impossible to have a poor raport with the staff members. Seriously, best staff ever. <3

Thank you so much for the kind words. I am normally fairly eloquent but as you can see i'm just blown away.
I'm beyond happy we've made iFC a positive experience for you!

I'm happy to hear feedback even if it's about something we were off the mark on, but i'm even super awesome happier to hear stuff like this!
