Frolic San Jose - January 18th, 2014
11 years ago
Due to popular demand, we are bringing Frolic back to San Jose, happening the same weekend as our favorite furry convention Further Confusion!
Our goal is not to compete with the awesome parties on the party floor, the late night panels, or the official FC dances, but rather to provide you yet another option for something fun to do, and another reason to come to Further Confusion. We are lucky in that the convention center is right in the heart of downtown, right next to the main party strip of San Jose where all it's best nightclubs are located, and we've managed to secure one of those awesome nightclubs to use on Saturday night! No other furry convention anywhere has anything like this (nor anything like the party floor)! So for those furs who like the nightlife, Further Confusion is the convention to go to!
Part of the reason that no other event can successfully copy what we do, is that even we don't copy ourselves! We are always striving to update our content, and this year is no different. We will be at the same venue as last year, but we have been digging the last year to find the absolute best djs in the fandom. We don't care about who can put together the best demo on their computer at home, and we don't run like a contest, instead we look for who are the absolute best performers and what djs are the absolute best at filling the dance floor and keeping it filled.
For those who know us, they know we'll have great djs and vjs and go all out creating a great vibe and environment full of visuals, art, great music, for dancing, lounging, and hanging out. This year is no different. But for those who do care about who the djs are, we'll slowly be rolling out over the next couple of weeks, bios and prior recording of live performances by some of our djs.
For those who did not make it out last year, the event is at the Agenda Lounge. We'll have fliers and posters at FC which will have a map on how to get there, but for those who want to use google maps and see how close it is (the distance from the Marriott to our venue is shorter than the distance from the Hilton to the Marriott), the address is 399 S. First Street, San Jose.
The event will run from 8pm until 1:30am. We will have drink specials early, for those on a thrifty budget, or who might just want to check us out and have a drink before partying back for the FC dances or party hopping on the party floor.
We will have a space for fursuiters to cool off behind the scenes, with fans and plenty of drinking water. You are welcome to bring your bin with you and change there if you like, but there is no coat check. We will make sure only fursuiters are in the fursuit area though, so you can have some privacy.
We'll have a slightly different pricing structure this year too, which warrants some explaining.
$15 no fur
$10 some fur
$5 full fur
First, we have to charge a cover in order to cover the large expenses of using this venue. We are not an event sponsored or even officially affiliated with FC, and as such, we have different expenses to cover.
$15 no fur - this means, those who show up in normal street clothes, those who you'd have no idea were a furry except for maybe those badges hanging around their neck, or a t-shirt with some furry art on it.
$10 some fur - Got a tail? Ears? Kigamu? Skunk hoodie with ears? Leather puppy mask? Something that would make you stand out on the streets as being one of those people, those animal people!
$5 full fur - This includes, but is not limited to full fursuiters. Also includes partial fursuiters, full rubber anthro outfits, really anything costume that transforms your entire human self into something else.
Frolic is a 21 and over event, and we will ask for ID!
A reminder of a couple of things to not bring:
-Weapons (including pocket knives)
-outside beverages (this is a bar, support them, and we will have plenty of free drinking water inside).
-Graffiti tools

Will there be a changing room at the event or should I be in my fursuit before I get there?

OP
Nuzz, we will have a Green Room at the event. You're welcome to bring your bin with you, and change there, but most people show up in fursuit as it's a less than 5 minute walk. The green room (aka fursuit lounge) will probably feel more like a fursuit lounge at a con, in that most people are in there with their heads off drinking water in front of a fan, rather than changing.

You won't be disappointed. Further Confusion is a really great furry convention, well worth traveling to! We are so lucky to be so close that we can plan something like this to go along with it, and there are so many other fun things to do at FC. Plus, it's the only convention that runs until Tuesday (ok, dead dog dance ends monday night)!
