Anthrocon 2017 Ends
8 years ago
General
(This is part of my report of my trip to Anthrocon. I'm posting it now to give you the statistics. Please forgive my posting something this rough, it's a first draft because I wanted to get it out quickly.)
Closing Ceremony
The event started pretty close to right on time.
After the story hour, Charlie Adler told Uncle Kage don't be a dick. At least I think that's what Uncle Kage said he said, he mumbled the last word.
Attendance this year was 7,544, which makes AC still the biggest furry con in the world.
There were 1,890 fursuits in the parade.
All told, the con brought in $31,998.00, plus $3,000 from tee shirt sales, for the con charity, Hope Haven Farm.
The super sponsor jerseys were held up at the border because they were made in China. AC will mail them out ASAP at no further cost to them and hopefully none to AC.
Tauren Fox made a nice picture for the interprefurs.
KP thanked the volunteers and the members.
Gen. Talon thanked the dancers and the A/V crew, Uncle Kage thanked the other performers including Tien Long, (Ronnie.)
AC2018 will be July 5-8, the theme will be Movie Monsters.
Uncle Kage said the zoo was being moved to the Westin for the dead dog party and asked us to leave the DLCC at the end of the ceremony. He asked us all to be good animals for the duration of the con.
One member asked if they could legalize awoo. Uncle Kage referred the question to Boozy Badger.
And with that, Uncle Kage declared the con over and I rushed to the men’s room.
(PS. I'm declaring myself back from hiatus. It didn't help me find a new place to live, just cut me off from some of my friends. Realistically, expect me to be pretty slow with journals and stuff anyway.)

Anthrocon is worth going to, worth experiencing. I'm old enough and been around long enough o remember ConFurence out on the west coast, although I never got to it. If AC ever stops, there'll be MFF in Chicago or some other Furry Mecca and probably EuroFurence in Berlin. So, no rush.
Did you fly down or carpool?
Their only disadvantage is parking downtown for several days; not a problem for me because I arrived by GO bus. You'd be best to find somebody in Toronto who'll let you park your truck with them for a few days and TTC in. (Get off at Union Station, go o the west side of the Royal York and catch the free airport shuttle. Then again, you'd probably drive down.)
And thanks again for helping with my passport!
