Fluufff 2018 - My Experience, Review and honest opinion
7 years ago
Hello! I came back from a Furry Convention not along ago. It is called 'Fluufff' and I went to the 2nd edition of it. I was invited to the first edition in 2017, but I decided not to come because I did not know enough people there plus the high cost of attending. However after some of my good friends telling me that they were coming, I decided to come as well and to check it out for myself.
General things that I got up to:
I mostly hung out with close friends through the con, consuming alot of alcohol on few of the days but I definetly was not drinking massive amounts of alcohol throughout the convention every single day. I mostly fursuited around 2-3 hours a day, because of the small size of the convention it was hard to fursuit for any longer since there were not always many people to interact with. However I overall still had a fun time suiting which I was surprised by since the convention is tiny. The attendees themselves were very friendly and welcoming, the overall majority of them being Dutch speaking Belgians with not many Southerns. The biggest foreign groups seemed to be Dutch and French, and was surprised to see people as far as Finland come who were also very friendly. There was an event called the Snack Exchange, were people bring food and drink from their native countries to share with attendees. It was very cozy and small, but everybody was really nice and friendly and people bought some interesting stuff. I personally bought stroopwafels with me (a Dutch delicacy) but I bought way too many of them, 200 infact. So I had to take 150 home with me xD. I also went to the main furry rave and to the Dead Dog Party, there were both really great and Wikke was my favourite DJ for sure!
Good points about the con:
-Friendly staff that is quick to help
-Adequate fursuit lounge
-OK buffet overall, especially the last 2 days they served great food!
-The main dance and the DDP were really great, good dancing area, great music and great lightning
-Great atmosphere overall, really friendly attendees
Things that need improving:
-Actually paying for the convention was very difficult due to bugs on the website and difficult website design, I needed an admin to resolve 3 different occasions where something had gone wrong
-A bit of a strange complaint, but the official dates of the con was 31 oct to 4 nov, but I feel like this was somewhat misleading due to registration not opening untill 15:30 on the 31st of October, and the con ending on 4th of november at noon. So saying it is the con is 31-4 makes it misleading because it makes it seem longer than it is. other cons like Gdakon and EF, when they announced the dates such as 22-26th, the convention was actually the entirety of those dates for the whole day.
