Hello, Rainfurs.
8 years ago
It is with sad hearts that we have to tell you that we are closing RainFurrest as a convention. The RainFurrest Anthropomorphics International (RAIn) board of directors has been working hard to secure a venue, but we have exhausted all of our options. Right now, we can't make it happen. We thank all of you for waiting and standing with us, and we are sorry to let you down.
Even though RainFurrest the convention is being closed, RAIn will continue to hold Furlandia in Portland, as well as the summer BBQ and the winter holiday party in Seattle. We will also continue to support and promote the furry fandom in the Pacific Northwest and worldwide, because we want everybody to see the great things that our community, our colleagues, and our supporters accomplish every day.
Thank you, everybody who helped us run RainFurrest—staff or volunteer, many years or few. Thank you, everybody who came together with us to celebrate the wonderful things our fandom brings to life and the amazing community we can create by working together. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
We hope to see you at other RAIn events, and we look forward with you to the arrival of Furvana in Seattle in the near future.

Look at what caused Conifur to fail, look at what lead up to RF imploding...
And Effing stop doing that.
And, get some dedicated Con Security that knows WTF its doing to keep congoers in line, without being idiots, or ineffective. 90 percent of the problems would go away in the con / conspace / hotel arena immediately.
If one of furry's several millionaires invested in a hotel, hired and trained furries to staff it (front desk staffer in fursuit?), and held several cons each year to stock it …
