Rainfurrest 2015 Post-Con report
10 years ago
First of all, I'd like to express my gratitude to each and every volunteer who has made Rainfurrest run in years past and continues to do so into the future. Without volunteers, we simply wouldn't have a convention.
That being said, we definitely needed more volunteers.
As a member of Theater staff, I can say that things went pretty smoothly in our department. We loaded in on Wednesday and loaded out on Sunday night both in record time, and I managed to enjoy my convention a whole lot more than I had in all years past.
The rest of the convention I've overheard was quite a different story. Lots of rumors, some confirmed by staff and Rainfurrest on their website (see the website for an open letter to all attendees) and one very mad hotel.
I implore any individuals who may have seen or heard something happen at Rainfurrest to say something about it. Report it to the convention. You can do so anonymously.
Don't like conventions? Don't bother coming to our events! Those who would intentionally vandalize property or perform acts that put our convention at risk, leave now. We don't want and or need you.
About the only negative experience I had was waiting for our hotel room. We had an 8-9 hour wait from initial check in, and we suspect the room we were originally going to get was changed in the middle of it. On the plus side, We ended up with a room right next to a stairwell that lead directly into the main hall of the convention. Great for a fursuiter like me!
Here's to hoping RF 2016 goes well.
VOLUNTEER SOME OF YOUR TIME! IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE!
