same here, been wanting to go since 2008 its sad that FCN and Furfright are done, there really isn't any New England / Atlantic Canada con either.

About the nearest thing is FAU or Furthemore now.

hmm yea, I just hope if work doesn't get screwy on me that I have to skip the cons I want to go to vs the cons I don't want to go to

There are a couple of new cons in Michigan, trying to replace FCN. I hope one of them is successful.

Great Lakes Fur Con, Feb 7-9, 2014 in Grand Rapids Mi: http://greatlakesfurcon.com/

Motor City Fur Con, April 11-13, 2014 in Novi Mi at FCN's old hotel: http://motorcityfurrycon.org/

I'm going to MCFC

I'm interested in attending since I wasn't happy with FWA's current hotel. But their website is skimpy with no word on who's the GOH or who is running it.

I applied for staff but was too late to get on board unfortunately but a friend of mine hopefully will release some information on whose running who the GoH is etc.

With these cons compete with each other, then the attending furs will hopefully benefit.

I was seriously considering it for next year, too...

We should start our own con.

Hell no man, those people end up spending a ton of their own money and stuff! XD

I just don't know what furfright is..or where it is but I heard only the name but had no time to get there

Furfright was a Halloween themed Furry Convention that took place near New Haven, Connecticut, around mid-October.

Haven't attended it myself, but believe it ended because the size of the con exceeded the amount of space it had available.

Just my two cents on this issue. Hope it answers your question.

furfright is now under new management plus a new name so its still on

Its current form is done, but there's a few folks trying to resurrect it.

humm, well hopefully good things will come. Guess only time will tell.

FCN may be done by name, but it's already been resurrected as motor city fur con. It's even at the same hotel.

never attended it yet=(

aw sadness

Just sucks big time.

DISCLAIMER: I don't know anything for sure, I'm only assuming this. Please don't hold me to it.

Maybe someone got sick? A person's health takes priority over anything else, and we can all go to FAU or AC in the absence of FurFright.
But I won't lie, FF will always be special to me. I had more fun at FurFright than I've ever had at any other function in my 35 years of life.

-First convention that I was allowed to be a guest attendee (all others, I was a dealer).
-First convention where I had my first interaction with a lot of furs all at once.
-First convention with a "furry" theme to it, and it kicked arse!!!

Let's stop thinking about how we won't be able to attend, and start hoping that everyone is ok.

Trust me, I have nothing against the people running it who had to bow out (they said they had family issues and such). Yes, I agree it comes first and foremost so I understand real life stuff comes up and yes, that's more important than a furry con anyday. People have real lives and yes, I can totally understand that. Just stating that it sucks that it seems like several good cons (cons with real good reputations of being rather well) seem to be closing up shop before I even had the ability to get to them.

Who knows... It's still too early to tell if in fact, this is the end of a North East furry con, or if someone else will take over where they left off.

What am I saying... There's FAU in New Jersey and AC in Pennsylvania... This (I'm thinking) was considered a "New England" furry con, not a "North East" one. Sorry for the mix up.

I hope that Belic and Kngra's troubles turn out for the better, whatever they are. Yes, real life does have to take priority over a con. Damned shame that the two of them are so central to the con that it is impossible to continue it without them.

I hope that another furcon springs up in New England for halloween time. It is a good time and there is a bunch of people who are habituated to coming up here each year around then. Hopefully the replacement con committee will organize themselves such that no one person is irreplacable, and so when someone has their real life implode on them, or their company transfers them to Albuquerque, the convention can go on.
