FurCon 2015

General
I had a really positive experience of FurCon this year. I was glad to see all the games; there were at least five different vendors selling different games. I was dreading the Transhumanist Panel, but I walked away having alienated a number of older white guys while getting accolades from young people, people of color, women, poor, and disabled people. I might put this year's audio recording online somewhere after I edit it; I need to get a larger memory card for my camera or a new camera which outputs directly to my laptop because 2GBs only got around 20 minutes of footage. Definitely need to work on a more professional recording setup.
I will not be hosting a panel on Transhumanism next year. I am hoping to either host a panel on formal logic or game design.
Alien Sex and the Love - Sex - Fur panels were really quite excellent though I have to note that there were some rape jokes on the part of the panelist, Pat, during her presentation. Love - Sex - Fur on the other hand was exceedingly good; they discussed consent, communications, flirtation, relationships and boundaries, and safer sex practices in quite a bit of detail. It was intimate, entertaining, informative, engaging, and respectful of people's sensitivities. I am looking forward to going to it again.
