Rocky Mountain Fur Con

From across the cluttered desk of the con-chair...
There have been a lot of rumors floating around about the convention. Rumors about debt, about the life and stability of RMFC. This will, I hope address those concerns and give people improved confidence in RMFC.
“The convention is drowning in debt” While it is true the convention is in debt, the situation is not bad and well under control. Thanks to some sizable donations by a few locals furs, the convention has paid off ALL of it's debts but one and made a sizable impact in the conventions one remaining debt.
“I don't want to register cause the convention will take my registration to pay off debts and close up” This is 100% not true, every penny we receive from registrations, dealers, and art show panels is going directly into the convention. NO EXCEPTIONS.
“Why should I attend, the convention might not be around next year” Also not true. We have been in negotiations with the hotel for convention dates in 2010 and 2011 and are confident that we will have these dates signed soon. The convention is going to be around for the future, all of my staff are dedicated to this fact.
While hesitance in these hard economic times is understandable I want to stress to every one that RMFC is here to stay, and we have some great plans for the future of our convention. The only thing we need now is your trust and support. We have some great guests of honor this year, Scribblefox and Terry Smith, and a wonderful events track. We are not going away, but we are going places, and we want you along for a great ride!
Thank you!

My door is open to anyone with questions, concerns or comments about the convention. Don't hesitate to write me, I would love to hear from you.

Let me make this clear for you folks:
RMFC WILL ONLY FAIL IF YOU DO NOT GO. So get yer butts goin and have some fun. we have the BEST con for Fursuiting (we have an entire pedestrian mall to run along).

BTW, saw Star Trek Friday. Loved it. Went with an open mind and that helped. It was great.
second, do you or any of the convention staff need any help with working on the con? I might not be able to go this year, but I thaught I would offer my services to you guys if you needed them. give me a call on my cell or IM me if so.
