They were hit harder than New Orleans was. At the weeks end I went to Jazzfest, and found the coolest picture EVER! You can buy prints (some seem very furry, all are blue dogs) and the proceeds help rebuild after the hurricane. This is something I'm very passionate about, soo please check it out! _http://bluedogrelief.com/_ (http://bluedogrelief.com/) We are Furrys, with dignity and pride. We are free no one can touch us no one can force us to deny what we are believing in no one can destroy our feelings, our love. All of us are walking through the world with eyes open with purpose in our step. Sometimes we even abandon society only to embrace this Furry thing to be ourselves. Furry freedom seems to be a very special thing. Perhaps it is because it isn't given to us, but is something we make for ourselves. Perhaps from a position at the edge of society we can easily choose to be "in" or "out" as we feel. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm planning to have the arms and paws connected to the bodysuit themselves, instead of seperate 'slide on' gloves. The paws themselves are essentially just going to be mitten style, with one section for the thumb and another section for all four fingers (As opposed to seperate finger sections for each finger). Basically what I'm wondering is if anyone has experiences with grabbing zippers through paws. I was thinking back, and all of the suits I've worn have had detachable paws and I took them off to get at the zipper. My main concern is simply that a combination of the decreased flexibility, rigid mitten paws, and inability to grasp things easily would make it impossible for me to get out of alone, which wouldn't be too great. I'm thinking I should be alright if I install a 'jumbo' zipper which will be hidden by a fur flap; that way it should be easier to grab with the big paws. So if anybody has any experience or insight, feel free to share. Otherwise I'll probably go ahead and start on construction soon, and hope I can actually get out of it once I've gotten in! -C -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The problem is, I don't have a plan > as how to go about this. I don't know how long the paw pieces should go My first suggestion to make that bodysuit fit you well is to make a duct tape dummy of yourself. Use that as a dressing dummy and lots of cheap muslin to use as your pattern. Rather than bore the list with repeated instructions, I'll forward you to the fursuit FAQ's sections 3.3, 6, and 15. Patternmaking seems to be an individual creation thing, as everyone has their own method. http://www.fursuit.org/faq/index.htm What I did in the past was one of two ways... First was to cover the dummy in saran or plastic wrap, then another layer of tape. Mark where you want your seams to be, usually the sides and around the arms, and then cut around there. Second way was tracing out a bodysuit I already had one that was too big onto the muslin and piece together with safety or straight pins. Then from there, just tailor to your fit. Either that or use commercial patterns, also found in section 6. Some of the patterns may be discontinued. For how long the paw pieces are, it's usually personal preferences as to how how high up the paw pieces will go, but much of the time, halfway to the elbows and knees. That offers just enough coverage to allow for those who pull on you and suits with arms and necks that are a little short. > For my mask, I'm kinda having trouble with creating the neck so that > it covers part of my shoulders and sits right. If anyone has tips or > anything, I'd be incredibly happy if you could tell me. Thanks! Wearing it while you make marks on the inside of where to cut can help. I've usually had someone wear the head while I make all the adjustments to make it fit. If you have a lifecast, it can help if you're just doing it by yourself. I think I remember a thread on something like this.

The paws also don't necessarily have to be slide-on either. There could be snaps or velcro involved for extra security for detachable paws. Grasping a zipper with paws takes a skillful hand, especially with reduced digits and dexterity. I personally can, but then again, there are a lot of things that are easier sans-paws. "My main concern is simply that a combination of the decreased flexibility, rigid mitten paws, and inability to grasp things easily would make it impossible for me to get out of alone, which wouldn't be too great." You are absolutely right, and I say go for the detachable paws because it makes life a whole lot easier. And, like I said, there are other ways to have paws - I have snaps on my paws, I've seen velcro used on paws. Or if you're really crazy about having the paws connected to the bodysuit, have them partially connected so you can still slip your hand out of a hole located on the wrist. ~Jayson (JD) Chris Lloyd wrote: Greetings, I am in the process of designing my first actual fursuit and I came across something that could be a problem.

I used to have to get in and out of a mascot suit with mitten paws by myself, and I found that a loop of shoelace (a long shoelace, so the loop is about two feet long) made it easy. You don't have to be able to grab onto the loop, even -- just stick your hand through it and pull it up. As long as the bodysuit isn't too tight-fitting, you can just tuck the loop down inside, and pull it out again when you're done suiting. -- Penh Chris Lloyd wrote: > Greetings, > > My main concern is simply that a combination of the decreased > flexibility, rigid mitten paws, and inability to grasp things easily > would make it impossible for me to get out of alone, which wouldn't be > too great.

I believe I was told to use acrylic paints for airbrushing and drybrushing, which I've bought but haven't tried yet. I only have experience in some drybrushing of minitures and airbrushing in art class at summer camp when I was much younger. I'd like to add a bit more color to my fursuit as well, along with highlights and shading... I'm still working on my first fursuit, it much harder than I had expected... that's with 10 years+ of sewing experience and costuming. ~Kody Wolf Date: Tue, 9 May 2006 05:21:34 -0700 (PDT) From: n farron Subject: FL: Dying with acrylic...

If you did, was it helpful? If not, why? I find that my puppetry work plays heavily into the way that I perform costume characters. Puppetry taught me a ton about expressing feeling and emotions visually, as well as giving me insight into character posture and movement. Much of what I learned working with hand puppets translated very easily to the full-body character costume. I also did a little independent study of miming, and would like to do some more, but so far I've not been to any classes on that subject. I would strongly recommend studying both subjects, because they are at the core of what costume character performance is all about. After all, if you think about it, a character costume is just an oversized puppet with the puppeteer on the inside. And, what one does in performing a silent costume character is almost identical to what a mime does. A good starting book on puppetry is 'Making Puppets Come Alive', by Larry Engler and Carol Fijan. You'd be surprised at how many of the lessons in that book can be easily translated from a glove puppet to a costume character. Just my two bits.

I did check out mascot.net and that helped a lot, as they offered a lot of pointers in their "Acting 101" page. It was really helpful in my opinio. It wasn't until i was a senoir in HS that i was able to take a drama class, and it wasn't exactly the basics, so it didn't help all that much. If you do take a drama class, take the basics that will teach some pantamiming. If you need any more advice, feel free to come to me with any questions.

It not only gives you a cardiovascular workout, there is strengh training, balance, coordiation and stretching. Plus you learn a lot of dance moves, so it's great to be able to dance in suit whenever there is music playing. It has also helped me with my perfornamces with the RAGGS Kids Club (www.raggs.com). I got so in to it, I became a certified Jazzercise instructor last June and teach 4 days a week. I have three fellow costume performers who take my classes. Classes are held in all 50 states and internationally, so to find a class, go to www.jazzercise.com.

Yes, any classes you can take will help with your performance. If nothing else, it will help challenge your improv abilities. I find the biggest thing about performance is being able to react quickly on your feet to any situation that's presented to you. As well, it's important to develop your character traits.

From day one my approach to 'suiting has been character-driven. Now when I'm booked for a job I try to find out as much about the personality of the costume I'll be wearing as I can. I'm okay at reacting to and creating a scene out of an existing enviroment. But I can see that I could also use alot improvement as well. An improv class would be challenging to me given my RL personality. But I can also see that it would really go a long way towrd helping me give a more convincing performance. Thanks!

When you are in your suit and doing active things, what type of helmets and head restraints / chin straps do you use? Hockey helmet with a basic snap on chin strap? - fits nice but tendency to unsnap Hockey helmet with a velcro on chin strap? - fit is bleh but stays on better than the snap Hockey helmet with the straps looped around the ear guards? - fits around throat, beneath chin but hasn't come off yet Thats what Ive seen and worked with but Im curious what else is out there or what ideas you all have come up with.

Yah still sweat when you're doing hockey games in Arenas. And, I don't know how many times I've done events like christmas parades, only to finish, take off the suit, and, find myself with a cold a few days later. You're so sweaty, then, you're jumping into cold clothes. Fun.

But keep in mind that you should make sure that there is fur enought to overlap the seam and hide it if it doesn't look good. (If you use hot glue for putting the fur together on the mask, then just use the same technique). You could also use a very small spiral stitch, but first fold the pad part (again, the lining that's supposed to be sewn in), and bend it underneath the paw. (Sorry about the explanation; you have to see it to truly understand). In other words, fold the lining of the pad beneath itself so that it looks the way it should when it's done. Then take the needle and stick it into the fold and back into the fur, using the spiral stitch which is naturally not obvious and is strong. Hope this could help! Good luck!

Having good balance and flexibility was also a plus. Example: When I perform at a local kids' amusement park, I go on the rides with the kids. When I was on the carousel, my horse stopped in the highest position at the end of the ride. It was a challenge to get off of the horse. My leg ended up being stretched very far while trying to get off and I had to balance on the other leg at the same time. There are routines in Jazzercise that require you to work one leg while standing on only one foot at a time. There is a coupon on the Jazzercise website for a free week of classes. You should definitely give it a try!

There is a product that all I know of is called ?liquid insulation?. Is a liquid available in several colors that you can dip tool handles in to give them am insulated coating. When I stitches the fur to my hand paws I carefully painted this stuff on the stitches and it dried giving a flexible but very tough protective seam on the stitches. This could stop them from fraying due to normal wear and tear.

Anyhow - Use needle and thread. I personally don't like hot glue on paws because eventhing I've hot glued on my paws have come un-stuck after the stress of walking a few miles in them. ? Anyhow - good luck! - I need to get started on another set?of my own footpaws and paws. :) ? ~Kody ? ? Well, what you could do is take hot glue and line the outside of the pad (the part that should be sewn in) and press it and the fur together until it's dry. But keep in mind that you should make sure that there is fur enought to overlap the seam and hide it if it doesn't look good. (If you use hot glue for putting the fur together on the mask, then just use the same technique). ?? ? You could also use a very small spiral stitch, but first fold the pad part (again, the lining that's supposed to be sewn in), and bend it underneath the paw. (Sorry about the explanation; you have to see it to truly understand). In other words, fold the lining of the pad beneath itself so that it looks the way it should when it's done. Then take the needle and stick it into the fold and back into the fur, using the spiral stitch which is naturally not obvious and is strong. ?? ? Hope this could help! Good luck! ?? ?

Does it really work, How long do the batteries last, how long till you have to change the ice packs It looks interesting but I can see some possible issues with how well it works. The icepack does look rather small and I am not sure how long it will last in warmer weather. Also one is relying on how much airflow one is able to get over the icepack and there is also the condensation issue because you are taking warm moist air that has possibly been in your lungs and cooling it. Hence the moisture will be condensating out onto the iceback and its battteries/fan/holder. I once saw a geat ides of using ducting fans for fursuit heads.. I hinte BigBadWolf did something along these lines (bit busy to do the look yo) If that was the case then a combination of his idea and this mugh work better plus have the capacity of longer cooling. Get 2 sheets of reticulated foam over a larger icepack. Out the icepack between them Put a non pourous covering over this so that ait can only enter in from one ent.. and have the other end conntected to the fan area inlet. Aternative have the fand at the inlet end and have the outlet connected to the duct. The effect you want to achive is to push or draw the air throught the foam and then into a duct leaving to your head (or other parts of the body. ---------------------------------------------------- Foam Foam Foam Foam Foam Hot Air --> Icepack Icepack Icepack Icepack ---> Fan ---> Ducting or area to be cooled Foam Foam Foam Foam Foam ---------------------------------------------------- The key is to get the largest cool surface area for the air to pass over. Oh - I know that some of you will immediately thigs of the solid state cooling systems in portable fridges/cpus etc.. they draw a lot of power and unless you want to be toting tons of batteries around.. They won't work well. Also they have 2 sides to them a cold side and a hot side you will need heatsinking. With the above the icepack will take in the head and convert the heat into energy to turn ice into liquid. When the temperature differential between the icepack and the outside air is equalised no more heat will be absorbed and the effect stops. The solution - change icepack regulairly :> Hope this help and please minne.. Let us kow how the professional one works.

I would suggest a 60-100$ compressor-home depot has em, also many are silent. The water trap is essential. Higher CFM is good as well. Actually if you go to Harbor Freight, you can get airbrushes for a fraction of the price in the stores as well. It depends if you want to cover large areas or just fine detail. Try ebay for the detail brushes, Harbor Freight for large coverage. =) single speed cheeta wrote: Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I appreciate your help very much.

I did a 4 hour appearance yesterday, and, tried a new cooling configuration.... Apart from pouring water over my head and down my back (which worked wonders!), we all used balaclava's for the first time. The results were not only no sweat running into our eyes (as it covered our foreheads), but, were also able to soak the hoods in cold water then ring them out, and, then put them on under the heads. Granted, they were back to room temperature after a short period of time, the cooling effects were well worth it.

Message-ID: <013201c67716$40399820$3300a8c0@mollycub> Wow, what a year! It's nice to end my three-year stint as con chair on such a high note. Highlights from the convention follow... ***Thank You*** First off, a big thank you to our Guests of Honor: Bill Holbrook, Ryan "Tet" Dewalt, and Candi "Trixi" Dewalt--for attending our convention, allowing us to spotlight their creativity and service, and for tirelessly providing the memorable gifts we pass on to our highest donors--you make the convention possible. When you read feedback forms that comment the best thing about the convention was "Bill, Trixi, and Tet", you know you made the right decision! Thank you to Ferrets Unlimited Ferret Shelter of Cleveland Ohio, for providing a valuable and worthy service to the Ohio area, and for sending a representative to the convention to help educate our attendees about ferrets as pets and companions. We raised a grand total of $566 for this year's charity, and will be sending the check off to the ferret shelter early next week. Thanks so much to all those who donated art and memorabilia to our events, to the fursuiters who donated a dance at our pet sale, and to those of you who bid on art and purchased raffle tickets in our events. I'm sure the ferrets thank you too! Special thanks to our Hypertrophes this year: Frazzle 626, Jewel, Ramseys, Tamaria, Trickster, and Woyro. The Hypertrophe donor level was a new idea for us, and it seems to have been very successful. Also, a special thanks to Bear for his generous donations of equipment and supplies--in particular, a label printer that really sped up registration this year. Thanks to all of our staff and volunteers, without whom nothing could be done at all, much less a convention. And thanks as well to our attendees and donors, of course; what's a convention with nobody to visit it? ***Official Numbers*** We had 187 attendees this year, up from 158 the previous year. This met with our expectations for growth almost exactly, and this is the first year in which Morphicon Corporation's income has actually exceeded our costs. This is proof that, with the selfless dedication of volunteers and generous support from donors, a convention can give back a quality experience to all who attend. Our hospitality suite was bigger than ever, and we had a steady supply of food, confectionaries, and beverages for all three days--including hot meals. We basically fed the convention. :) ***Feedback*** Most of the feedback we have received has been very positive. We are continuing to review feedback for the convention on the Morphicon mailing list, and the feedback forms themselves. Once again, there was a lot of positive response for our incredible hospitality suite and free food events. The mature programming track was again popular, with many of the panels crowded with participants. Several people have remarked on the respectful nature of our mature panelling, as well as the fact that the popular panel discussions are often unavailable at other conventions. This year we were able to correct three big problems from last year. First, we had a full-time headless room. Second, we had internet service all con (though slow at times). Third, there was increased signage to lead the way to registration, and message board availability (as well as daily newsletters). One problem from last year that was not completely addressed this year was the problem of our room block being spread out over different areas rather than being contiguous. The hotel was supposed to have corrected this error, and we will discuss it with our contact during negotiations for 2007. Issues we noted this year that will definitely be corrected in 2007: * Coffee in the hospitality room! This was missed. * Credit card readers at registration, for when PayPal is too slow. Other issues are currently being discussed on the mailing list. ***The Future*** I'm happy to leave the convention in the capable hands of Craig Smith (aka Max Goof / Stargazer), the 2007 Convention Committee Chairperson. Our staffing and other critical decisions for next year will be made in about a month. The theme for the 2007 convention has already been announced: "Technofurs"! We'll cover topics such as: furries in cyberspace, sci-fi, transhumanism, futuristic furries, and more. Tentatively we are scheduled for May 11-13, 2007 at the same hotel. Our hotel negotiations are ongoing, however, so we'll make a formal announcement soon when we know the exact date and location (along with the Guests of Honor for 2007). To fill in more variety, our infamous prescripted Furry Variety Show will probably be changing names to "Morphicon Spectacle of Doom", and we'll be adding a new, more traditional FVS on Sunday evening--one where anyone can do a skit without previous directorial approval (as long as it's PG). This should fill in the gap in performance felt by amateur performers who want to do their own act that may not be on theme or accepted by the Spectacle of Doom, but their act is too long or otherwise not appropriate for our judged Masquerade. Finally, the Morphicon, Morphicon Staff, and Morphicon FVS mailing lists are all changing to a new groups system. The changeover will take place sometime within the next month or so. The Morphicon staff email addresses will also be changing. The website update should cover these issues in detail when it comes, again within the next month. Thanks for your support, everyone. Morphicon Corporation's events continue to thrive because of selfless volunteers and attendees like you. Anna Wolf (a.k.a.

Yep. Should some of the graphics files be stored right on the wiki or stored elsewhere, a clickable link? I'm going to be uploading some of those files since I still have all of them here on the local computer. > Someone asked me about the Tutorial I did for the Duct Tape Dummy and it > looks like it never got brought over.

The brand is Mohr What I did was snip the under base section off and then put it in a oven at about 180c for 10 mins. Then put it between 2 heavy books as a press. The effect is that the tongue flattened out perfectly and looks really great. The pictures are half way down this page http://www.marcwolf.org/construct/realism/index.html However I can see from their catalogue that you can get a resting tongue which would make things easier. Many people have mentioned how real Marc's jaw looks and Kid always want to touch his teeth and tounge.

I usually get fur that's $20-$25 per yard, but since I get it at Fabric Depot, I just wait until they're having one of their 40% off sales, so it ends up being about $12-$15 per yard. Pretty good for the good stuff.

Message-ID: Just a little over a month until the Saint Louis Pride Festival and Pride Parade June 23-25, 2006! We are once again planning a weekend of fun and frivolity for everyone. This event is open to everyone and most things are relatively kid friendly. On the agenda for this year... Friday June 23 - We will head out for a bite of dinner for those that arrive earlier in the day. The we will have an evening of fun activities planned as everyone arrives at Sunset Lanes for Cosmic Bowling. Fursuits are welcome! Saturday June 24 - Everyone gets to sleep in a bit and then we will stop by our fav Furry coffee shop Mokabe's for a bite of breakfast and then off to the Festival for the afternoon. After the festival you have some time on your own for the zoo, parks, museums, whatever. At 6pm we will all meet up for the Pride Potluck. Rules are as follows: Bring something for yourself to throw on the grill Bring a side dish to share (salad, casserole, etc) this should be enough for 4-5 people Lemonade will be provided, bring your fav beverage if you want something different Chips, cups, plates, plastic ware and napkins will be provided. Alcohol is ok to bring, please just keep yourself under control! Sunday June 25 - Parade Day!!! - It's an early start this morning. We will be getting up, grabbing a bite at Hardee's for breakfast and then heading over to the staging area for the parade (we have to get there early to avoid road closure and avoid parking issues) The parade kicks off at 11am and will go till about 1pm. This is June, so plan on it being HOT! Make sure and bring yourself water bottles and such. We will have a large jug of water at the staging site and bottles of water at the Festival (end of the parade) This year's theme is Pride Without Prejudice. Both the Bad Dog Saloon and Cheap Trx are going with these themes. The Cheap TRX entry is going to have a western feel to it (Think Brokeback Mountain) and the Bad Dog Saloon will be a canine/lupine/vulpine themed entry. Everyone is encouraged to wear fursuits, ears, tails or whatever you are so inclined. After the parade we will be heading to Chris's for a bite of lunch and to cool down and relax before everyone heads out. I need R.S.V.P.'s for the weekend as soon as possible so we can make the appropriate plans. We have VERY limited crash space, but I do have rooms available at the just remodeled Red Roof Inn that is right by the Big Blue House for $73 a night. If you are planning on marching or Fursuiting in the parade please let me know what you will be attired in so I can match you up with the respective group (we are going to be next to each other in the parade hopefully) Also if you are coming to the Potluck on Saturday night, please let me know what you are bringing to share so we don't end up with 5 things all the same! Please let me know as soon as you can if you are attending to tygrcwby at hotmail.com !!

A white square,6inches x 6inches, laying flat against the side of the suit, with a snail fan inside, and one side of the square had holes which allowed the fan to blow into the suit, but at the same time, it took up nearly no space at all, maybe 1.5 inches from the suit wall. Also, it was run off of a 9.6volt rechargeable battery system, that fit into a small backpack/buttpouch. Really neat idea, and I was able to stay out for up to an hour. Then a quick recharge, and we were off and running again. Does anyone have any ideas where something like this could be purchased? There were no names at all on the insides of the suit, so I cant call the manufacturer and ask them.

Places like Michael's or JoAnn do not have it. It used to be everywhere. Now it's almost non-existant! Anyone out there who would know where to get it?

If you scroll down, you can see the journal for the ears: http://www.wolftronix.com/head/index.html Also, for animatronic eyes: http://www.wolftronix.com/eyes/index.html There are several videos around for anyone who wants to see the finished product, too...they're thrown all around the site.

Tuxedo clad spies, evil-geniuses, femme fatales, mad scientists, super-weapons, and henchman abound as Further Confusion delves into a world of anthropomorphic Spies, Spooks, and Double Agents. With special themed events and panels, FC2007 will be a world where nothing is as it seems on first glance, with surprise lurking around every corner. In this briefing: - FC2007 Charitable Beneficiaries Selected - FC2006 Charities Paid - Online Hotel Reservations Available - FC2007 Dealers Room and Furry Market Place Waiting Lists - FC2007 Pre-registration Available ---------------------------- - FC2007 Charitable Beneficiaries Selected Further Confusion 2007 is pleased to announce that the following two organizations will benefit from our event. Golden State Greyhound Adoption () and Stanislaus Wildlife Care Center (). - FC2006 Charities Paid We are also delighted to report that the charitable beneficiaries for FC2006 have received the following funds: Wildlife Companions ($12,000) Comic Book Defense Fund ($3,000). That's a new yearly record for FC and two more worthy groups would be hard to find. - Online Hotel Reservations Available Online Reservation for booking your hotel rooms is now available at the following URL: We always run out of space - especially so for Double Rooms - so book early. Not to mention it helps the con pay for itself just as much as your registration fee does. - FC2007 Dealer's Room and Furry Market Place In August, we will be selecting at random people from the Dealer's Room waiting list to be offered 10 half-tables for FC2007. In order to be included in the selection, you should have your waiting list form sent in by August 1st, 2006. Please allow sufficient time for the USPS to deliver it to us by that date. There will be a second round of random drawing from the waiting list in November for any additional table space that is available at that time. Further Confusion staff continue to work on a revised system of space allocation in the Dealer's Room for FC2008, and will communicate this once it has been finalized. The first round of 10 Furry Market Place spaces will be sold on a first come, first served basis also starting on August 1st, 2006. Those interested will need to send in an application form by mail postmarked no earlier than August 1st - any earlier postmarks will be placed at the back of the list. The first round will end September 15th. No e-mail applications will be accepted. The application form will be made available on the website in June. The second round of spaces in the Furry Market Place will be sold starting in November, again first come, first served, and a third round (if spaces are still available) will take place at-con. You should note that those who missed a spot in the first round will NOT have their application automatically carried over to the second round. The cost of the Furry Market Place spaces is currently being finalized, and we will let everyone know what this will be as soon as possible. Application forms for space in the Dealer's Room and Furry Market Place, as well as rules governing each area, can be found at . Please e-mail dealers at furtherconfusion.org if you have any questions. - Pre-Registration Pre-registration for FC2007 is available on-line at . Rates are $40 for the entire convention, and you may either register on-line, or print out a registration form and mail it to us with payment. The web page also gives details of some of the goodies you'll get if you register at the Sponsor ($100+) or Patron ($200+) level. Patrons and Sponsors may also claim back part of their payment on their taxes as a charitable donation. Please e-mail registration at furtherconfusion.org if you have any questions. Please eat this briefing after reading. -- Further Confusion info at furtherconfusion.org http://www.furtherconfusion.org/ From dragonsfire867 at yahoo.com Wed May 31 16:32:31 2006 From: dragonsfire867 at yahoo.com (Dragonsfire) Date: Wed, 31 May 2006 13:32:31 -0700 (PDT) Subject: FL: I have some links for the Wiki...

Lots of things happening and MFM the 10th addition is into high gear getting things ready for everyone's arrival in Memphis Labor Day Weekend! As we enter spring, registration for our end of summer party remains open. This year, we have 5 levels to choose from: SUPPORTING: (Include a tshirt and program mailed to you.

You get everything that the super sponsors do, plus a special catered meal with the GOH, a $100 donation to Tiger Haven in your name, and a special personalized letterman jacket. This level is prereg ONLY! $400 total due by Aug 1, 2006. Min $100 down. You may register online and pay by credit card or Paypal at: http://www.mephitfurmeet.org/register.php or may print a paper form and pay by check or money order at: http://www.mephitfurmeet.org/regform.txt ***** MFM still has space available to advertise in our tenth anniversary conbook. Here are the rates for this year: Inside the book: $35 for a full page (7.5" x 10.5") $60 for a dual full-page ad (2 pages, left and right 7.5"W x 10.5"H each) $22 - 25 for a half page ($25: 7.5"W x 5.25H") ($22: 3.25"W x 10.5"H) $15 for a quarter page (3.25W x 5.25H) $8 for a business card size (3.5" W x 2"H) Cover Ads (Full page only): $45 inside covers $68 outside rear cover Need more info? Contact Taha and he'll get you set. We're also looking for your MFM memories. If there's a special moment that you remember, type up a paragraph about it and send it to Tahamaki - it might just make it in the book. ***** "The Flea Collar Comedy Tour" will make its debut at MFM this year. If you would like to try your paws/hands/talons/etc. at doing a 5-10 minute routine, contact Taha and he'll get you on the list. ***** Writing Track: I'm arranging more events! In addition to the existing ones (Meet & Greet, Iron Author, Art of Alliteration), we have Phil Geusz planning to give a talk on Writing Action and host a get-together for members of the TSA story-writing list. Also waiting to hear from Kamau, Sly Rabbit, Chaka Wolf and Dokino, who've each said they're interested in running an event. This could be quite a busy track depending on who responds, but in any case it looks like we'll have a respectable set of offerings for the con. -Kris ***** Video Room: The Video Room will once again be taking requests from the MFM website all year long, so be sure to vote for your favorite Furry Videos! As in past years we'll be showing your favorite films, clips and shorts from 10 am to 2 am, so there will be lots of Furry Film goodness for you to enjoy! ***** The Variety Show is back and better than ever... well, that of course will have to be seen. This being the Tenth year of MFM, anyone that can work either Tin or Aluminum (which is the traditional gift for a 10th anniversary) into their act and make it work will get a special award. The act's don't have to have that in there, but it would just be something fun to try to work on. Other than that, we will have a great show lined up as usual. We wouldn't have it any other way. ***** Spirituality- We're working really hard to make the offerings from the spirituality panel something special. We'll be offering old favorites like the meditation panel and Therianthropy Through the Ages. This year's focus is on Egyptian deities and animal symbols, focusing on the lesser known creatures. Everyone is familiar with Anubis and Bast, but have you met Maat or Sekhmet or Set? Ever wonder why the crocodile and the hippo were both revered and feared? We'll tell you all that and more. This year's species focus panel is the unicorn, both the Eastern and western variants. We'll be discussing their similarities and differences as well as their mythological functionality within the civilizations from which they evolved. This year's special feature panel is Animal Brides. We will be referring to two texts which attendees may find interesting and may want for themselves: The Serpent and the Swan - Animal Brides in Folklore and Literature and In Search of the Swan Maiden - a Narrative on Gender and Folklore. The scrapbook project has its own table this year and has been expanded to include any sort of memory important to attendees, whether it's someone who passed on, someone you don't see often, a pet, a place, or an event. We would especially like to see people adding their favorite memories of past MFMs to the book so that we can make this a successful tradition. We also need volunteers, preferably with scrapbook experience, to help us man the table and assist those who want to create their pages. Finally: we are having difficulty locating information regarding the lesser Egyptian deities and unicorns. If you have information you can offer, book, or web site suggestions please contact either Garet or I (tygermoonfoxx at gmail.com) ***** Greymuzzles - Once again the Greymuzzles will get together to figure out how we can use our experiences to help the Furry Community. Last year we discussed putting together a "What's all this about?" poster to put on an easel in the lobby of the con hotel to inform the public what they are walking into. We hope to have something ready for this year. We will have our traditional breakfast/discussion and one or two more sessions during the weekend. I'd like to pose this question to the younger members of the community: How can we help you? You are all welcome to attend our panels, and we are very interested in your input. ***** Fursuit Games - We're ramping up the Fursuit Games for 2006! As of now, the tentative plan is for Friday night to be open Fursuit Volleyball, since it was so popular last year. We're still working on whether or not to have the main games on Saturday night or Sunday night. We're leaning towards Sunday. Still being ironed out are the events for the main games, but we are taking suggestions. (No Twister. Not gonna happen.) I still need a couple of referees, so if you know anyone, let me know ASAP. Also, I will be emceeing the games in suit this year, so if there are any complaints you can literally "talk to the paw"! Could still use some input folks. What did everyone like last year?

In order to do this, you'll need a computer that can run 24/7. Other then that, all you really have to do is sign up at http://www.dyndns.com , and select a web site name (Subdomian only :/ ). From there, you can get Apache ( http://www.apache.org/ ), which is the server program. Setting it up can be a bit of a pain, but once it's done, you'll have total control. -------Original Message------- From: fursuit-list at lists.fursuit.org Date: 06/08/06 14:31:01 To: fursuit-list at lists.fursuit.org Subject: FL: Does anyone know of a place that lets you make a website withno limits and such?

I made my first suit for $100 spent over the course of 2 years, and no sewing skill to start with. And I hand-stitched the entire suit. So it can be done!

GratidDNS.dk is a free service that manages your domain names, and EFurry as you already heard provides you the webspace. GratisDNS really is as free as it can be - you still have to pay, but that is only the price of the domain name itself at the country or international registrar, plus the yearly upkeep. i use them for every domain name i control, and have never had a single problem with them :) -- ..Dan // Leinir.. http://www.leinir.dk/ "A Vast Swimmer Keeps No Pets" - Saemus Z.

A quick and dirty way might be to allow the user to export a place from google earth to a .kml file (select place, file->SaveAs, choose *.kml, provide file name) and upload it as an attachment. Then just pull out the single line that reads something like: -1.533312595607356,52.29717829165846,0 which are the degrees East, degrees North, and height (ignore). Failing that, folks can just open the file with Notepad or whatever and cut-n-paste these numbers remembering to reverse the two numbers: enter the degrees north first, then the degrees east.

Message-ID: Saint Louis Pride Weekend! Just a little over a week until the Saint Louis Pride Festival and Pride Parade June 23-25, 2006! We are once again planning a weekend of fun and frivolity for everyone. This event is open to everyone and most things are relatively kid friendly. You don't have to be Gay to join us. This is open to everyone! On the agenda for this year... Friday June 23 - We will head out for a bite of dinner for those that arrive earlier in the day. Then we will have an evening of fun and friendship as everyone arrives at Furry Coffee at Mokabe's Coffee House! Saturday June 24 - Everyone gets to sleep in a bit and then we will stop someplace for a bite of breakfast and then off to the Festival for the afternoon. After the festival you have some time on your own for the zoo, parks, and museums, or whatever. At 6pm we will all meet up for the Pride Potluck at the Big Blue House.. Rules are as follows: Bring a side dish to share (salad, casserole, etc) this should be enough for 4-5 people Lemonade will be provided, bring your fav beverage if you want something different We will provide hot dogs, brats, smoked sausage on the grill and chips, cups, plates, plasticware and napkins will be provided. Alcohol is ok to bring, please just keep yourself under control! Sunday June 25 - Parade Day!!! - It's an early start this morning. We will be getting up, grabbing a bite at Hardee's for breakfast and then heading over to the staging area for the parade (we have to get there early to avoid road closure and avoid parking issues) The parade kicks off at 11am and will go till about 1pm. This is June, so plan on it being HOT! Make sure and bring yourself water bottles and such. We will have a large jug of water at the staging site and bottles of water at the Festival (end of the parade) This year's theme is Pride Without Prejudice. Both the Bad Dog Saloon and Cheap Trx are going with these themes. The Cheap TRX entry is going to have a western feel to it (Think Brokeback Mountain) and the Bad Dog Saloon will be a canine/lupine/vulpine themed entry. Everyone is encouraged to wear fursuits, ears, tails or whatever you are so inclined. After the parade we will be heading to Chris's for a bite of lunch and to cool down and relax before everyone heads out. I need R.S.V.P.'s for the weekend as soon as possible so we can make the appropriate plans. We have VERY limited crash space, but I do have rooms available at the just remodeled Red Roof Inn that is right by the Big Blue House for $73 a night. If you are planning on marching or Fursuiting in the parade please let me know what you will be attired in so I can match you up with the respective group (we are going to be next to each other in the parade hopefully) Also if you are coming to the Potluck on Saturday night, please let me know what you are bringing to share so we don't end up with 5 things all the same! Please let me know as soon as you can if you are attending to tygrcwby at hotmail.com !!

I would like you all to start thinking about the performance you might have planned for the Mephit FurMeet's Masqurade. I have the distinct honor of being kinda in charge of the Masq this year. (Yeah me?). As we don't have a lot of time at the rehersal, try to have your idea's all hammered out and workable. I decided that this being the Tenth year of MFM, anyone that can work either Tin or Aluminum (which is the traditional gift for a 10th anniversary) into their act and make it work will get a special award. The act's don't have to have that in there, but it would just be something fun to try to work on. Our excellent sound guy Protius is on deck to keep the sound up and running. We would ask that it be standard cd format type of music or sound or whatever. Anything else, please ask away off list (don't want to flood the list with silly little things, unless it's the performance list where things should be discussed..)

I agree with Skippyfox that we came away from the interviews and newspaper report at this AC in a very good light.

The pages are still in Beta version, there are still some people I havn't credited for photos. If you want credit tell me by which name you'd like it. There's also a few pictures of Maurice along side some other fursuiters. If you want your character mentioned tell me about it. Additionally if, for some reason you don't want your likeness or fursuit appearing in a picture tell me so I can edit it. -Damian Reality television is terrible because it combines television and reality, both of which are pretty foul on their own. -- _______________________________________________ Outgun.com free e-mail @ www.outgun.com Check out our Premium services - POP3 downloading, e-mail forwarding, and 25MB mailboxes!

The question is, go with a life-cast of my own head or buy a generic FX head armature? I don't know how much it would cost to make the life cast but the generic head armature is about $60. Working off of a representation of my own knoggin would be nice but not totally necessary. So...What does it cost to have a life casting done?

So if any one else has some good ideas I would like to know as well. I would *NOT* suggest doing a full-head lifecast on your own. There's too many things that can go wrong. I'd suggest two people to do this on you. A full-face you can, but it's preferable to have a friend nearby to make sure nothing goes wrong. Rigid wrap does nicely, but it's got a drying time that's longer than medical bandages. I'd suggest using extra fast or fast set. I would strongly suggest checking the fursuit Wiki on lifecasting. If you want to go the cheap way, get a styrofoam head, measure your own head, and then use foam and duct tape to get the right proportions. -boogi- -- Homepage: http://www.furnation.com/boogi/ AIM: rg1004 / boogikat007 ICQ: 103051846 Y!M: boogikat MSNM: boogikat007 Sez who that a deaf person can't have fun on the net?

So if any one else has some good ideas I would like to know as well. I would *NOT* suggest doing a full-head lifecast on your own. There's too many things that can go wrong. I'd suggest two people to do this on you. A full-face you can, but it's preferable to have a friend nearby to make sure nothing goes wrong. Rigid wrap does nicely, but it's got a drying time that's longer than medical bandages. I'd suggest using extra fast or fast set. I would strongly suggest checking the fursuit Wiki on lifecasting. If you want to go the cheap way, get a styrofoam head, measure your own head, and then use foam and duct tape to get the right proportions. -boogi- -- Homepage: http://www.furnation.com/boogi/ AIM: rg1004 / boogikat007 ICQ: 103051846 Y!M: boogikat MSNM: boogikat007 Sez who that a deaf person can't have fun on the net?

Another reason why I suggested two people doing a full head cast is that since I have a hearing loss, I'd prefer a hearing person with me. That way, if something goes wrong and I don't hear it, the other person will and deal with it. Another thing is that if the model knows sign language, I can understand what they're saying. So far, I've had one person sign while under the alginate. Creating hand signals if you don't know sign works well. Either way, you get feedback. -boogi- -- Homepage: http://www.furnation.com/boogi/ AIM: rg1004 / boogikat007 ICQ: 103051846 Y!M: boogikat MSNM: boogikat007 Sez who that a deaf person can't have fun on the net?

I didn't get to do much suiting in part due to staff commitments and some other issues that came up. I did however have a mile stone event in my fursuiting in that I received delivery on my realistic lion head from Lionel of Lion of the Sun. The link below will bring you to some (but not all) photos of the head that we took outside the hotel. http://community.webshots.com/album/551594860xEibFg In the process of taking these we gave a good fright to at least one person (maybe more) who thought they saw a big bad putty cat in the bushes. Lionel handled one extremely well, getting them calmed down then added that the lion 'was his pet'. *grin* I will be commissioning at least one body suit, hopefully two (one realistic one more anthro) to use the head with within the next few weeks. I can't wait to have a suit to use with this head. Heck I've already had offers to lay around so people can have their picture taken with the lion. That is in fact one of the things I'm hoping to use the realistic suit for, photo ops for charities. A big thanks to Lionel for such a fine piece of workmanship and for taking the photos to share.

Yes, I make some money , But for the most part people come to me for my art because they see somthing in it that reflects a dream. perhaps it has to do with the long periods before I discovred my capacity for art a year and a half ago, That the yearning to see the face and form in the mirror haunted me, and for as long as I can remember wanting but never having that ..

A year and a half ago I had gone through over 20 years of want and desire and dream, And in that whole time I had the capacity to grant myself and others some of the greatest happiness I have ever known.

This year was yet another flawless, widely praised show, demonstrating that Anthrocon is the place to be for costume performance. I'd like to thank everyone who participated for making this event perfectly as easy for me as it was for them. Everyone was on their marks and attentive, resulting in a show that ran like clockwork. I'd like to also thank John "KuddlePup" Cole for lending us his expert skills as MC once again and for helping me coordinate the rehearsal and presentation. I also want to thank Simba_Lion, Cheetah, and both of their A/V staff and crews that worked tirelessly to present the performances with the light, sound, spots, cameras, and other tech that let the show be seen, heard, and recorded. These guys supported not only the Masquerade, but every other event in that Ballroom. If you see any of them, give them the appreciation they deserve because they're probably one the most hardworking crews for the whole weekend. Finally, I want to thank all my Masquerade staff and volunteers, without whom there would be no event at all. Their help is what keeps this event running on an annual basis and I hope they'll be just as eager to be with us again next year. In no particular order, big thanks to Jesse "Tango" Stringer, Jason "creature" Murdock, Mike "Mrianti" Pierce, Derek "ZenWolph" Sailor, Lincoln "JBadger" Kliman, and Steven "Tora" Sears. Here is the list of the performances in the order they were presented. They may be slightly inaccurate due to last-minute casting changes. Titles were either provided or are a best description. 1.

I'm currently searching for any possible conpics from this year's AC, but to no avail. If anyfur out there knows of an archive or has a direct link or two I would be greatly appreciative. This was the last year my first suit I've ever made will ever be used, and I would love to have some last pictures/video of him. ^^ Thanks in advance, and hope everyone at AC this year had a good time like myself - no drama allowed! ^^ -- - Dusky _____________________________________________ // \\ | _ ___ Duskwuffie | | #_~`--'__ `===-, Owner / Operator | | `.`. `#.,// Anthropomorphic Designs | | ,_\_\ ## #\ WolfCry Studios | | `__.__ `####\ | | ~~\ ,###'~ Duskwuffie at gmail.com | | \##' Duskwuffie at adelphia.net | \\_____________________________________________// _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Fursuit Mail list.

All of my fursuit feet have simple rubber soles. Three of the pairs I built on top of aqua sox, while the other two pairs I completely custom built with soles made out of 1/2" rubber matting. With one of those custom pairs, I actually have two layers of that matting, making for a 1" of sole. My problem is that both kinds of feet do not insulate my own feet from the heat of walking on blacktop in summertime temperatures. At my last event, where I was wearing the custom built pair with two layers of the rubber matting, my feet were still getting very hot, and when I had to take breaks, it was not because I was getting too hot throughout my bodysuit and head areas, but because my feet were roasting. I'm just curious to know if anyone has found a good material to line the inside of fursuit feet with that will help to thermoinsulate them from the heat of the surfaces you are walking on? I always wear regular athletic socks, and my aqua-sox based feet all have insoles that came with the aqua-soxs. I'm wondering about those gel-type insoles, but I don't want to spend the money on a pair without knowing for sure if they'll actually insullate against heat from the ground. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've got at least three more summertime character appearances, so I'd like to find something right away that will solve this problem.

They're big feet, so I have about an inch of foam between the ground and my foot. Makes for squishy bouncy feet, and I've walked around in some pretty hot environments without my feet ever being unusually hot. Not sure if you can rework your feet and glue some extra foam on the bottom, but it's a thought. Even a thinner layer of foam, if you can find something durable enough, would help. And add a layer of leather on the very bottom, to keep the foam from being torn apart. -Uck!

Am I gonna get lots of presents this year?... hmm sorry hehe. Anyhow, I used to wear mocassins for Ren Faires all weekend, un-padded for a while, but when I added gel-soles my feet were much more confortable and cooler after a full day of walking around. - My feet also were not sore after a busy weekend :) As for fursuiting, I'm currently wearing surf-shoe footwear covered in fur also, I haven't noticed that my feet get got yet, but they do get sore after walking around on cement or pavement - I was planning to add gel-soles to them after Anthrocon to solve that problem. I might have to get a larger pair of surf-shoes to fit gels inside of them comfortably. ~Kody Wolf --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Get on board. You're invited to try the new Yahoo!

Further Confusion Summer Picnic and Campout 8. FCTV Seeking Material 9. Events Staff Needed 10. Next Staff Meeting ------------------------------------------------- 1. FC 2007 Dealer's Room and Furry Market Place News In August, we will be selecting at random people from the Dealer's Room waiting list to be offered 10 half-tables for FC 2007. In order to be included in the selection, you should have your waiting list form sent in by August 1st, 2006. Please allow sufficient time for the USPS to deliver it to us by that date. There will be a second round of random drawing from the waiting list in November for any additional table space that is available at that time. The first round of 10 Furry Marketplace spaces will be sold on a first come, first served basis also starting on August 1st, 2006. Those interested will need to send in an application form by mail postmarked no earlier than August 1st - any earlier postmarks will be placed at the back of the list. The first round will end September 15th. No e-mail applications will be accepted. We've listened to your comments, and the price for a Furry Marketplace space for FC 2007 will now include one full membership. Application forms for space in the Dealer's Room and Furry Marketplace, as well as rules governing each area, can be found at . Please e-mail dealers at furtherconfusion.org if you have any questions. 2. FC 2008 Dealer's Room Sign-Up Changes As promised, we've looked at the way space is allocated in the Dealer's Room, and after listening to all the comments, we've decided to try a new method for FC2008 that should allow everyone a chance at that rare commodity - a table in the dealer's room! For those interested in the changes for 2008, details can be found on the Dealers page at . 3. Pre-Registration News Pre-registration for FC 2007 is available on-line at . Rates are $40 for the entire convention, and you may either register on-line, or print out a registration form and mail it to us with payment. The web page also gives details of some of the goodies you'll get if you register at the Sponsor ($100+) or Patron ($200+) level. Patrons and Sponsors may also claim back part of their payment on their taxes as a charitable donation. Please e-mail registration at furtherconfusion.org if you have any questions. 4. Hotel News ON-LINE ROOM RESERVATIONS: You can make your reservations thru the link on our website and the sooner you do so, the more likely you will be able to get your specific request, whether it's a smoking room or two Double Beds. SUITES ARE SOLD OUT!! Yes, already! Of course we only have 8 suites available but still we wanted to let folks know. FURSUIT AND PARTY FLOOR ROOMS ARE GOING FAST!! We only have two floors to work with for the Fursuit Floors and one for the Party Room Floor, so if you plan to make a fursuit room request or party floor request, make your reservations now and get your request in to hotel at furtherconfusion.org 1ST FLOOR ROOMS: Due to ADA requirements, we cannot take any more requests for 1st floor rooms unless it's for medical reasons. 5. Themed Website Launch Hopefully by the time you get this the themed website will be launched. Many thanks to Foofers, Jonas, Frysco and the rest of the marketing team for helping us get it up and rolling. We hope to add some link banners and additional items in the near future. 6. Furry Night Live Get ready your spy gear, decoder rings and undercover disguises, Agents! Furry Night Live is back again on Sunday night as the number one place to see furry variety acts performed live. Break out the shoe phone and deploy those dashing agents, femmes fatales, and thuggish hench-bears. Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Assemble your secret forces to put together an act or skit fitting the spy theme "Fur Your Eyes Only." Are you a Rogue Agent with no act or skit? Not an Impossible Mission! Our crack team of operatives will have scripts, acts, and skits for you to participate in.

Further Confusion Summer Picnic and Campout Picnic: Saturday, August 12, 2006, 11 am 'til 5 pm Camping: Friday, August 11th & Saturday, August 12th It's time again for the annual Further Confusion summer picnic! We're back at Lake Chabot (at the nearby Anthony Chabot campsites) for camping and picnicking. We will be holding the picnic on Saturday, August 12th from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. There will also be camping available on Friday and Saturday nights. For those who wish to attend the campout, we are asking $5 per person to offset the costs of the campsites, and you must RSVP for the camping part of the trip (send email to camping at furtherconfusion.org). The picnic is free and open to all - no RSVP Required! As usual, we'll provide the food and drinks. More food is always welcome, though, as are folks to help out in setting up, cleaning, and otherwise making the picnic happen. Our next staff meeting is at noon on July 15th. If you are interested in the planning for the picnic, just show up to the Doubletree Hotel at noon, and we will find some way to put you to work! This year, we will be at the Turtle picnic site at Lake Chabot, and will meet there at 11 a.m. There will be a tent there for people to change into costumes. There will also be some items from past Further Confusions on sale (T-shirts, DVDs, etc) and we're also aiming to have the FC2006 DVD available for sale there, so stay tuned. This will be your last chance to get the $35 (camp)fire-sale price for a Further Confusion 2007 membership. For directions to the picnic and campground, check out the page on our website: . 8. FCTV Seeking Material Its that time of year again. Have some nifty furry video or show you'd like to see on FCTV? Well now's the time to start the submittal process! Right now anything with a PG or lower rating is on the table, so submit away! Any length, any format. To submit, just send an e-mail to fctv at furtherconfusion.org with information on your submission and we'll take it from there! Also feel free to e-mail if there's something you yourself didn't make, but would like to see on FCTV! We'll reach out to content creators ourselves if we have to! Deadlines for major content submission is November 31st (I need time to prepare it all), so if you've got that great video idea, get filming! For any and all other questions, remember info at furtherconfusion.org is the place to go, along with our website at www.furtherconfusion.org. 9. Events Staff Needed We still have many staff positions available in our Events section.

Great day of celebrations and parades which means I get a chance to fursuit with my fire department. So early this morning I got out my tiger fursuit, E. M. Tiger, and went down to the station. We left for the town the parade was in at about 9:30 AM and arrived somewhat before 10:00 AM. The step off time for the parade was not until 11 so I stood in headless fursuit for more than an hour chatting with folks and watching as the rest of the parade got formed up. This was the town's 200th anniversary as well as the 4th of July so there were many more trucks, floats and marchers than usual. This included a number of horse groups (including one beautiful four draft horse team with wagon from Shale Hill farm). Knowing all to well how a fursuit can distress a horse, even without a head, I stayed well clear of them. A few riders however couldn't resist coming by which fortunately didn't create any problems. All this time I'm watching the clouds gather and hoping it won't rain. Finally we step off and due to several children of members of our department riding the original pumper (1939 chevy) I don't have my usual spot to stand. This was okay by me because I turned over the candy tossing duties to the kids and road the back step of the truck where I could hop off and interact with the crowd. I did this much to my pleasure and the crowds. About 5 minutes into the parade however it started to mist but nothing more. While not the greatest for my suit (a Marylen Siberian Tiger) past experience told me the head would be okay if I dried it once done. In fact I hammed it up a bit by begging for an umbrella at one point and when refused sadly returned to the truck. The next time I stepped off the truck however something didn't feel right. As I returned after my toying with the crowd I saw why. There was a perfect paw mark in the middle of a pile of horse apples. Can you say SH ! T? Well I sure did. With no low line vision in the suit I didn't know how bad I'd gotten it so simply scraped the bottom of my foot on the truck rear step. After the parade I took off the head and was greeted with the odor of my misstep. Thankfully it was not into the fur but mostly on the bottom. I got what I could off and when back at the station cleaned it more completely. Ah, but wait there's more. With the suit being damp and one scented paw I didn't put it back into the container but spread it out on the seat of my van to drive home. After putting the van in the garage I gathered up the suit, head and container and headed for the house. While it had stopped misting before I got back it chose this moment to go into full, instant on RAIN. I made a dash for the house, juggling fursuit bits and box all the way and arrived with a mostly wet fursuit and fursuiter. Some days just don't end the way you'd like. But I did enjoy the outing, the suit and head are now sitting in front of fans drying and I'm getting ready to do a bit of World of Warcraft with a friend (if the server will unload some other folk).

I've found when doing my fire dept. gigs I usually don't have a spotter because either they need everyone in uniform to march or they are busy running the activity.

It's basically a matter of doing research and legwork. I don't know of any simple way to find all the charitable groups in a particular area, so I just keep my eyes and ears open and take notes when I see or hear of an event that looks interesting. Sometimes people I talk with will suggest groups to me, and sometimes I might just come across a flyer or an ad for a group. Once you've found a group, research them. See if they have a website, and use that to find out what sorts of activities they do throughout the year. Many groups have one or two yearly fundraisers, and those are great events to target. Usually there will be specific contact info for those events, and you can use that to get in touch and offer your services. If the group has their own mascot, and that work appeals to you, then you'd probably want to contact the public relations division of that group. This is just the tip of the iceburg, but it's a great way to get started. A really easy way to find charitable groups in your area is to go to any large festival type event that has lots of vendor boothes. Usually there will be quite a few local charitable and non-profit groups in those booths, and you can talk with their representatives and find out about what each group does. The reps might not be able to tell you right away if your character services would be useful, but they can most likely give you contact information for the right person(s) within the organization who could help you. Of course, while you're there, you should also talk with the people running that festival event, because they might be interested in having you as a general purpose entertainer at the event. While they probably wouldn't let you perform that very day (possible, but not likely), they might invite you to entertain (or apply to entertain) at the festival the next time it occurs. Just my two bits.

Florida's furry arts and entertainment convention is back for another spin, and this time, we're bringing the fun to the First Coast! This is the first of many regular updates on Megaplex 2007, which will be held on March 2-4, 2007, at the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverwalk, Jacksonville, Florida. We'll have more information on the hotel in a moment, but first... LET'S MEET OUR GUEST OF HONOUR! Megaplex 2007 is happy to announce that Mike Kazaleh will be joining us as Guest of Honour this year! Mike is a professional animator and comics artist; old-school furry fans will remember his comics work on "The Adventures of Captain Jack" (Fantagraphics), and "Mean Green Bondo Machine" and "The Suit" (MU Press). He has also drawn "Ren and Stimpy" for Marvel, "Cow and Chicken" for DC Comics, and "The Mighty Mutanimals" for Archie Comics, and is currently working on "Futurama" for Bongo Comics and "Camp Lazlo" for DC. Animation-wise, his credits include "The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse", "Tiny Toon Adventures", and "The Simpsons"; more recently, he has worked on "Krypto the Superdog", "Johnny Test", and "Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi". He was also a storyboard artist for the upcoming movie, "The Ant Bully". Please join us in welcoming Mike to Megaplex 2007! WHAT'S BEHIND DOOR #1? It's time to play! This year, we're working up a Game Show theme that is sure to entertain. If you have an idea for a panel or event that fits into our theme for 2007, drop us a line at megaplex-feedback at pawpet.org . We want your feedback on exactly what you want to see at the convention, and we want to get with folks who would like to run said panels and events. Megaplex is ultimately the members' convention, so help make it the best it can be! We're always on the lookout for volunteers, as well. Drop us a note if you'd like to help out in March. Now, about that hotel... HOTEL RESERVATIONS OPEN! This year, Megaplex 2007 will be held at the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverwalk, in downtown Jacksonville, Florida. The hotel is just off of I-95, on the Southbank of the St. John's River. Full directions will be located on our web site (http://www.ppmp.info) shortly. (As a note, if you look for the hotel using a mapping service like MapQuest, you may find it under its old name, the Radisson Riverwalk; it re-flagged earlier this year.) The Wyndham is a short distance from the Museum of Science and History (MOSH), Friendship Park, and River City Brewing Company, which can easily be reached via the Riverwalk. The hotel is also a stop for the S.S. Marine Taxi service (http://www.jaxwatertaxi.com), which is a convenient way to get to the shops and restaurants at the Jacksonville Landing (http://www.jacksonvillelanding.com). The San Marco shopping district is close by, and Five Points and Riverside are just over the Fuller Warren Bridge (I-95 to Park Street). Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) is 20 minutes away. Reservations at the hotel can be made ON-LINE this year! This method requires a credit card to use. Here's how: 1) Surf to http://www.wyndham.com/hotels/JAXHT/main.wnt . 2) Click on the "Get Rates or Make A Reservation For This Hotel" link, just under the hotel's address. 3) On the next page... a. Leave "Select A Rate Plan" (Section 1) as "Best Available & Wyndham.com WEBRATES". b. Enter your arrival and departure dates (Section 2). Remember, Megaplex is March 2-4, 2007. c. Specify # of Rooms, and folks staying in them (Section 3). d. Skip past Section 4, unless you're a Wyndham ByRequest member and want the credit. e. In Section 5, type the following in the "Group Code" blank : 0301886pa f. Click "Check Availability" 4) The next page shows the rooms available. You should see "Pawpet Live Experiences" as the Rate Plan, and $99/night as the rate for regular rooms. Click on the rate for the room of your choice to continue. 5) On the next page, double-check the selections in Sections 1-4, then fill in Sections 5-8 and click "Confirm Reservation". If you prefer to reserve by phone, call (904) 396-5100. Be sure to reference group reservation code 0301886pa to get Megaplex's room rate. Reserve early! Reservations close on January 30, 2007, so get your rooms as soon as possible! If you have any questions on the hotel, feel free to contact Randy Fox at mp-facility at pawpet.org. WHERE'S THE WEBSITE? Our website is currently being redesigned by the lovely and talented Jess (Lynxcat) Kiela, who's also taking care of business in her new, somewhat cooler domicile Up North. We've seen preliminary art for the site design, and it looks great! Our web address (http://www.ppmp.info/) may briefly point to our official LiveJournal community (http://community.livejournal.com/megaplex/) until we're ready to unleash the site onto the Internet. Once the new site is up, we'll be able to take registrations on-line. NEXT MEETING! We'll be holding our next face-to-face meeting down in Orlando on Saturday, July 15th, at 5:00pm EDT. We'll be at the Bear Rock Cafe at Millenia Plaza. (From downtown Orlando, take I-4 west to Exit 79 (John Young Parkway), and turn left. About a mile down, turn right onto Millenia Blvd, then turn right on Millenia Plaza Way. The restaurant will be on your left.) In future months, we'll be setting up meetings in the Jacksonville area, as well. Stay tuned for further updates! If you're not in the area, come chat with us! We use the same IRC server as the Funday Pawpet Show does - irc.pawpet.org 6667. I'll be in the #megaplex channel on most Sunday nights, during the Funday Pawpet Show (7pm-11pm EDT), and we'll have weekday evening meetings open to the public as well (watch this space). If you want to learn more about Megaplex, find out how you can help out, or just meet and greet, please join us! STAY TUNED! Keep an eye on http://www.ppmp.info/ and http://community.livejournal.com/megaplex/ for the latest news and information, and please do not hesitate to drop us a line at megaplex-feedback at pawpet.org (or to me directly at mp-ceo at pawpet.org) if you have suggestions or questions regarding the convention.

Message-ID: <8C8732D65E1A611-1924-2290@MBLK-M22.sysops.aol.com> I am looking for two people, one character and one escort/stagehand, for the RAGGS Kids Club (www.raggs.com) show at the Big Fresno Fair (www.fresnofair.com) for Wednesday-Thursday, October 4th-5th. The pay is $100 a day (for 3 shows, 25 minutes each) and a hotel room is included, double occupancy. You will need to provide your own transportation though. The height for the character is very flexible (5'7" to 6'2"). The character also has to study the video and script and learn cues and simple dance steps. "Roadie" will help the characters suit up, set up/tear down stage props, assist with props during the show, and sell RAGGS merchandise after the show. If you are interested in either position, please e-mail me off the lists at minnieme4rl at aol.com. If anyone can forward this to the So Cal Paws and Claws List, I'd really appreciate it!

I have the distinct honor of being kinda in charge of the Masq this year. (Yeah me?). As we don't have a lot of time at the rehersal, try to have your idea's all hammered out and workable. I decided that this being the Tenth year of MFM, anyone that can work either Tin or Aluminum (which is the traditional gift for a 10th anniversary) into their act and make it work will get a special award. The act's don't have to have that in there, but it would just be something fun to try to work on. Our excellent sound guy Protius is on deck to keep the sound up and running. We would ask that it be standard cd format type of music or sound or whatever. Anything else, please ask away off list (don't want to flood the list with silly little things, unless it's the performance list where things should be discussed..)

Only one can be crowned the ultimate Iron Fursuiter - will it be you? The only way to find out is to enter the competition, where you will put your skills on the line as you compete in challenges that will test your strength, stamina, speed, and inner balance. Do you have what it takes to beat out the competition and claim the title and the prize? For more details, please see this post: http://community.livejournal.com/mfm/44832.html To sign up, send me an email with your furry name and fursuit character name (if different from your furry name) that you will compete as. Even if you don't want to complete, I'd love to have as many suiters as possible come out in suit to watch the games and cheer on the competitors. Cheers, Santa Fox P.S.

Oddly enough, the ears are also seven inches tall, from base to tip. So, there's some general numbers to start with - of course, you'll want to tweak that to fit your ideas of your character - there's no perfect formula that's going to work right for everyone. The best place to look for general muzzle construction tips is, of course, in the FAQ, and then if you have more specific questions that aren't answered by the FAQ, post them here on the list. http://www.fursuit.org/wiki/doku.php?id=fursuit:headper:muzzles_snouts_beaks Cheers, Santa Fox -- Santa Fox's Den - http://santafox.home.comcast.net/ -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Foxwolf 9-Tails" > I could also use some help here as well, I'm remaking my head in a > compleatly different style.

That way I could sew the fur on where I could not glue. The calico pattening trick of wrapping somethings in calico and marking it helped me work out the general shape when the fur was on.

We have made fox ears on average 4 - 6 inches. But sometimes they need to be longer to look animated, or if the fox is to be a baby fox you want them to be larger so the head will look more youthful. Do you have a drawing when you are sculpting it from a drawing it helps... If not keep standing back and seeing if that is the size you want. Make it from paper first pin it to the head and look before you sculpt from foam.

We pattern from the skins of the foam as it is flexable and can be sewen into shape. When you know that is the shape you need glue it together. and attach to head. you can do it the old way and use foam it is just a lot more work and won't hold up as long.

We do that all the time. We actually make a whole face with mouth linner and eyes in one piece and start at front of the face and work back glueing as we go. It works great but requires a lot experiance. I hope that helps a bit.

LONG fur. It need not be on neato, stretchy, spandex, can go shopping, and walk the dog, and take my credit card to Paris and not come back for a week- kind of fur. I can't seem to find long fur (3" or better) on a fixed backing, because that's really all I need. I am thinking I am going to need between 3 and 5 yards. I am looking for something in muted browns, yak colours would be nice. varigated is fine, unvarigated is kewl too. Heck, lots of scraps would even be awesome. I am not afraid to spend *some* money, but the completely awesome site that sells for 20-30$ per square foot... yipe. If only I could shrink the booger!

I found one that is just slightly smaller than my own head for about $15, shipping inclusive. You may or may not be so lucky. Once you get it, you'll still need to mount it. Hit up rummage sales or the like to find an old coat tree or something that you can mount the head on. You'll want to be able to easily move around the head during construction (I found this out the hard way when building my first head using the mesh-and-foam method). Good Luck.

Pre-Reg Price Increase 9. Next Staff Meeting ----------------------------------- 1. Guest of Honor announcement Further Confusion 2007 is pleased to announce our first Guest of Honor for next January. Please welcome Baron Engel to our convention. Baron's been drawing since the age of eighteen ... months, that is. His first anthropomorphic art resulted from an art school class assignment requiring deliberate distortions of the human figure. His instructor, impressed by the comparatively vivid and engaging results, encouraged ("do you want a good grade in this class?") an initially reluctant Baron to continue developing this style, and by the end of the semester, he was hooked. At college, majoring in commercial illustration, he encountered science fiction literature and art, and set his sights on making his living in that genre -- putting him on a collision course with anthropomorphic fandom. In 1989, Baron was still unaware anyone else was interested in that sort of thing. But while looking for reference material, he was advised to seek out the Society for Creative Anachronism. At one of the meetings, he came to the attention of last year's Further Confusion Artist GoH, Eric Elliott, who (at the top of his lungs) singled Baron out as a furry artist! The rest, as they say, is history, and Baron's been involved in the fandom ever since. Along with his anthropomorphic art, Baron has worked in the commercial market, comics, and the entertainment industries as a concept designer. He and Christina "Smudge" Hanson founded Backbreaker Studios LLC in 1997 and since then have conducted numerous demonstrations and panels for art groups and conventions. His pieces have been exhibited at local museums -- winning several awards -- and thirty to forty conventions a year in the US and abroad. Baron's hobbies include cooking, history, paleontology, astronomy, wildlife, reading, aviation, lucid dreaming, shooting, anime and comics, and mechanical thingies. Examples of his work can be seen on the Web at 2. FCTV Submissions Its that time of year again. Have some nifty furry video or show you'd like to see on FCTV? Well now's the time to start the submittal process! Right now anything with a PG or lower rating is on the table, so submit away! Any length, any format. To submit, just send an e-mail to fctv at furtherconfusion.org with information on your submission and we'll take it from there! Also feel free to e-mail if there's something you yourself didn't make, but would like to see on FCTV! We'll reach out to content creators ourselves if we have to! Deadlines for major content submission is November 31st (we need time to prepare it all), so if you've got that great video idea, get filming! 3. FC Summer Picnic and Campout Information Picnic: Saturday, August 12, 2006, 11 am 'til 5 pm Camping: Friday, August 11th & Saturday, August 12th It's time again for the annual Further Confusion summer picnic! We're back at Lake Chabot (at the nearby Anthony Chabot campsites) for camping and picnicking. We will be holding the picnic on Saturday, August 12th from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. There will also be camping available on Friday and Saturday nights. For those who wish to attend the campout, we are asking $5 per person to offset the costs of the campsites, and you must RSVP for the camping part of the trip (send email to camping at furtherconfusion.org). The picnic is free and open to all - no RSVP Required! As usual, we'll provide the food and drinks. More food is always welcome, though, as are folks to help out in setting up, cleaning, and otherwise making the picnic happen. This year, we will be at the Turtle picnic site at Lake Chabot, and will meet there at 11 a.m. There will be a tent there for people to change into costumes. There will also be some items from past Further Confusions on sale (T-shirts, past DVDs, etc). This will be your last chance to get the $35 (camp)fire-sale price for a Further Confusion 2007 membership. For directions to the picnic and campground, including the Campout FAQ, check out the page on our website: . 4. Staffing Needs: A/V Tech, Events A/V Tech Staff Needs: Tech is being run differently this year. You can be on tech staff and still have a convention! We are accepting sign-ups for shifts of work. You can sign up to work just specific events, like FNL, or the masquerade, or sign up to specific time slots. This means anyone can sign up, even people from other countries! The way it works is you sign up as a "Dedicated Tech Gofur" and then we sign you up for your shifts on tech staff. You could choose from lots of different jobs from running cameras for FCTV, spotlight operator, sound board, stage ninja, even an usher if you want. No experience is necessary, and we'll train you on the job if you sign up as a second, or "shadow" for a shift. We need to fill the following shifts ASAP: 1. Furry Night Live, all positions 2. Masquerade, All positions 3. Setup, all positions (Day before FC starts) 4. Strike (Day after FC ends) Shifts are filled on a first come first served basis except where shift directors have prerogative. Shift directors are the leads for each of our 6 tech departments. Many of these positions have been filled, but we could still use some seconds/backups, as well. The requirement for a director is that you must be local to the bay area, and be able to attend most of the regular FC staff meetings. (In subsequent years, this restriction may be lifted for people with demonstrated experience) Events staff still needed: We still need some track directors. You do NOT need to be local to FC to take these positions, though if you are not, you should be able to communicate effectively with FC Writing Track: Species/Science Track Business Track Spirituality Track Creator's lounge 5. Dealers Room Announcement In August, we will be selecting at random people from the Dealer's Room waiting list to be offered 10 half-tables for FC 2007. In order to be included in the selection, you should have your waiting list form sent in by August 1st, 2006. Please allow sufficient time for the USPS to deliver it to us by that date. There will be a second round of random drawing from the waiting list in November for any additional table space that is available at that time. The first round of 10 Furry Marketplace spaces will be sold on a first come, first served basis also starting on August 1st, 2006. Those interested will need to send in an application form by mail postmarked no earlier than August 1st - any earlier postmarks will be placed at the back of the list. The first round will end September 15th. No e-mail applications will be accepted. We've listened to your comments, and the price for a Furry Marketplace space for FC 2007 will now include one full membership. Application forms for space in the Dealer's Room and Furry Marketplace, as well as rules governing each area, can be found at . Please e-mail dealers at furtherconfusion.org if you have any questions. 6. Art Show Reservations going on sale Art Show Panel Requests will be going on sale in early August. You can watch for announcements or send in a request for an information packet to artshow at furtherconfusion.org 7. Fur Your Eyes only Dance Input Requested My name's Amadeus and I am the Social Track Lead for Further Confusion 2007. Over the past few weeks, I have been reading the many compliments and complaints about past dances at Further Confusion in the past couple years, and I have taken all your ideas into consideration and will be acting on a number of them. This next year, for FC07, I am pleased to announce that we will be having a wide variety of music genres available to congoers. Everything from rock and roll, metal, punk, 80's, 90's, techno, and everything else in between that we can squeeze into an extended weekend. Also changing this next year is the way the official Fursuit Dance itself operates. Many of you have written in claiming the Fursuit Dance doesn't have enough danceable music for those of you who enjoy shakin' your tail in fursuits. This year, we will make sure to keep the electronica down during the official Fursuit Dance and supply you with the music that YOU want to hear and dance to. Our DJ will be advised to take requests, keep the techno down and fine-tune the set to the mood of the crowd, since that is what you all want. Please note that the Fursuit Dance is separate from the electronica dances that go on later in the night. Be sure to check the schedules at contime to make sure you're in the right place at the right time. You've sent in your comments, and we've listened! Here's to making the dances at Further Confusion 2007 the best they've ever been! 8. Pre-Reg Price Increase Please be aware that the preregistration price for FC2007 increases as of September 1st. Save yer hard earned bucks for spy gear and paying your henchman and not on registration costs. You can register online at . 9. Next Staff Meeting Our next staff meeting will be a little late in coming, due to our picnic during the middle of August. The next meeting will be on September 16th at noon at the San Jose Doubletree. Parking is free - just tell the parking attendant that you're with Further Confusion when you arrive, and then get a sticker for your parking slip in the meeting.

Oct. 6-8, 2006 In-Reply-To: Message-ID: [Please pardon the x-posting] Hello Friends! You may have seen our advertisements in Anthrocon?s or Morphicon?s con book and now I?m here to remind you the Western Pennsylvania Furry Weekend, http://www.wpafw.org, is being held Columbus Day weekend, October 6-8, 2006, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This year?s ?Featured Artist? is the renowned Shawntae Howard, writer and illustrator for the popular ?Extinctioners? comic book. http://www.extinctioners.com The event staff and I are continuing to host this event, now in its seventh year, and inviting furs from New York, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey as well as our friends north of the border in Canada, and of course, Pennsylvania. Building on the successes of our past events we?ve adjusted our registration structure and secured a 400 square foot meeting room at the Comfort Inn Pittsburgh North for our Friday Furry Social and for our Saturday Night Prowl and Growl. By hosting these events at the hotel we hope to provide a more centralized weekend experience and provide more appeal to securing a hotel room for our guests. Event Pre-Registration is now OPEN!! Registration for the Western PA Furry Weekend covers the Friday Furry Social, Fur-b-que and Prowl and Growl on Saturday. Pre-registration begins now and runs until Friday September 23, 2006. ? Basic level Pre-registration is $15. (Gets you into the Friday Furry Social, Fur-b-que and Prowl and Growl on Saturday.) ? Supporter level Pre-registration is $20. (All of the above plus front line privilege for food at the Fur-b-que, five Charity Raffle tickets, our esteemed gratitude, and other swag to be determined.) We?ve had a number of folks register already and several of those signed up at the Supporter level. As for the rest of you?what are you waiting for? Don?t miss out! October is only two months away! :) Lodging arrangements have been made with the Comfort Inn Pittsburgh North, just off PA Rt. 28 and PA Turnpike Exit 48, in Harmarville, PA. The Western PA Furry Weekend has secured a block of 20 rooms for both Friday and Saturday nights at a flat rate of $69.99 + tax. The staff and I would also like to announce that once again our Furry Weekend Charity is "Animal Friends," Pittsburgh's only no-kill animal shelter. Last year we raised nearly $400 towards this worthy cause. If you can help by making a donation of original goods or services please visit the event website and send an e-mail to Akirashima, our Charity Raffle coordinator, at charity at wpafw.org. This short message by no means conveys all the information available on this year?s event. I encourage you to visit the Western PA Furry Weekend website at http://www.wpafw.org for pre-registration, programming and activities, as well as lodging just to name a few. I also invite you to sign up for the Furry Weekend Forums where you can get the latest information on the event, pose questions and suggestions, and hook up with your friends for room and ride shares. So mark your calendars and register now to join us in the beautiful autumn clad foothills of the Allegheny Valley and see friends old and new.

I'm looking into becoming an animal costumed character for hire. Like for party's and what not. I'm in the proses of looking for an agent now. The point of this post is what advice can anyone give me that's not in the FAQ. In the FAQ there is advice for mascots but not for costumed characters for hire.

Would also try posting it on some of the ton of fursuiting lj communities out there. They may have more info on mascoting but could also find someone with experience in what you need. Most of my experience has been in non-paid volunteer work, mascoting at parades and charity events. I could relay my experiences in doing that but it may not be that different from the FAQ. Gotta ask, will they be providing a costume for you or do you have a costume in mind for this job? Can you bring help, people that aren't in costume or minimal costume? Could come up with some skits or something. Should also consider being able to grab members of the audience. Do they have a set of guidelines or rules you'd need to follow? -Freaky Lynx > > Hi all.

Ive been working for a party company for the last few years, doing birthday parties almost every weekend. It all comes down to what the child wants and how far the parents are willing to go to give them what they want. Next comes money. If you are talking about a real mascot, they are paid performers, who generally get paid a minimum amount for their work. Unless the child is really interested in that sport team, the parents usually aren't willing to shell out that money. They usually want to use that money to get someone else there for a longer period of time. Why have the mascot of your local team there for $200 for a half hour when you can have a generic clown or lookalike character for the same price but for a full hour. Alot of it has to do with disposable income and what people are willing to pay. And some other parts of it have to do with what you get for your money. I see every weekend people want that professionalism but are unwilling to pay what it costs to get it. Thats why there are lots of opportunities for regular people to be costumed characters. For myself, we have a package deal. Songs, games, interraction for a set price. They know up front what they are getting and there are no surprises. Instead of talking to an agent, try calling around to some of the local entertainment companies, or look in the phone book for some. Around me there are no less than a full dozen. I kept calling til I found one that made sense in their expectations.

I'm looking into becoming an animal costumed character for > hire. Like for party's and what not. I'm in the proses of looking for Based on a couple of points in your post, I'm going to make the possibly incorrect assumption here that you are looking to get paid to entertain with your own personal animal costumes. If not, then a lot of what follows won't apply, but maybe it will be useful for others. I've been marketing my own costume animal characters for virtually the entire time I've been performing in costume (I'd never performed any kind of mascot or costume character before I built my first costume). I run my own business now, and one thing I've never done is to use an agent - I've always just marketed myself in the community with pretty decent results. Lots of cold calling and advertising where I can do it for free, though now I do a little bit of low-cost advertising, which has gotten a few more people to come to me with job offers. I've been skeptical about going through any kind of agency for jobs (other than mascot jobs via TMO), but I must also admit that for all of my marketing efforts, I've yet to actually do a birthday party - lots of other kinds of events, but not a single birthday party! Still, if you're talking with an agent who doesn't understand the nature of costume character entertainment, you probably want to find a different agent or try going it on your own. Regardless of whether or not you use an agent, you definitely need to sit down and develop a marketing package around whichever character(s) you want to hire out. Figure out what makes the character special, then try to write up a blurb about the character that describes him/her and excites the reader about the idea of having that character appear at an event. You can use this blurb when talking with either prospective agents or prospective clients. Having a shtick helps, so if you have a good routine for your character, be sure to promote it in your marketing. If you don't have a shtick, think about coming up with a short (roughly five minutes) routine that you can learn and perform with your character. This routine can help to define the nature of your character, and the more you've defined a character's personality, the better you can market that character. Be sure to do a good photo shoot with your character (get someone who knows how to take good pictures), and use those pictures to create flyers, business cards, and a website. On your website, post video clips as well, so that prospective customers can see what your characters are like in action. If you have multiple characters that you want to market, by all means provide information on all of them - you never know when someone may want something specific, so the more options you can provide, the better. That said, if you are focusing on children's entertainment, you'll want to primarily promote yourself with your most child-friendly character(s) - whichever ones are the softest, sweetest, most lovable of what you have to offer, as you need something of that nature to draw parents to your services. Don't forget that you need to get your business license and liability insurance, and you'll have some extra paperwork at tax time. Keep track of your business expenses and your mileage so that you can claim all possible tax deductions, helping you to keep more of your hard earned money. You'll also want to create a standard performance contract, so that you can create a firm agreement between yourself and your clients that doesn't leave anything important open to personal interpretation. Keep in mind that you have to do all of these legal tasks, even if you get all of your jobs via an agent. If this sounds like too much, then you may want to start out with just volunteering at community events and other small-potatoes stuff. The important thing is to treat these volunteer appearances as professional jobs. You should conduct yourself as a professional, should still have liability insurance, and you may even want to do contracts for these appearances. The key is that you won't have near the same level of issues to deal with as a volunteer as you do when you are officially in business. Best of all, you'll gain experience and some notice in your community, which will help a lot should you decide to go into business later on. This is what I did: my first year-and-a-half of performances were all on a volunteer basis. At that point, I felt ready to start my business venture, and while so far it's been challenging, it's also quite a rewarding experience. If you have further questions, feel free to bounce them off me - all told, I've been marketing my characters for three years now (1&1/2 as a volunteer and 1&1/2 via my personal business), so I've been through quite a bit in that time.

They also offer several resonably priced packages for liability insurance. I've got coverage from their agent for the work that I do. It's inexpensive and clients like and sometimes require the fact that a perfomer is covered for a given event. Cheers, Single Speedy On 8/3/06, single speed cheeta wrote: > Try these guys.

As the cooler temperatures and colors of Autumn approach it's time again to consider the prospect of getting a group of furs together to march in Conneaut Lake's Fall Pumpkin Fest Parade. The Pumpkin Fest theme for this year is "Pirates." The parade takes place on Saturday, October 14th and steps off at 10AM. Conneaut Lake is in Northwestern Pennsylvania about a half hour south of Erie, PA, an hour and a half north of Pittsburgh, just off I-79. Last year after the parade we had a brief picnic/tailgate party at Conneaut Lake Park and then suited up again and wandered the small "mom & pop" amusement park posing for pictures and interacting with the guests. Right now I'm posting to get a feel for how many furs and fursuiters might be intested in this day long opportunity. Please respond to events (at) swiftsden.net if you're interested in participating. I need a preliminary head count when I contact the parade coordinator and our contact at the amusement park. For more information, please inquire in your missive or visit the Fall Pumpkin Fest website at http://www.pumpkinfest.conneautlake.com/index.htm Thank you for your interest.

Maybe later on I can try and get everyone to do skits at work for better themed videos.. but for now, just what they do on their normal set location is what I film for practice, and to let them see abit of what I can do. Plus I'm still learning video editing. This one features all of Seuss Landing's characters EXCEPT Thing 1 & Thing 2. It was filmed on August 10th by my coordinator, along with myself. I'm surprised at how it came out for a 1 hour edit (throw together). The Grinch in the middle of the film is me, while the one at the end of the video is someone else & more nicer, so I accompanied him with more light hearted music.

It looks amazingly similar to the one in the video, with the exception that it had a wire upright tail and there were no whiskers on his cheeks (I thought I saw some in the video). I was impressed with the detail on the costume itself, each one of those "stripes" on his fur is black fur sewn to white. Our costumes are normally made and maintained by Costume Specialists, but I'm wondering if these two were made by the same company... Perhaps Costume Specialists does work for Universal too. I have never worn a costume more... complex to put on. A nylon strap around the waist to support the tail, and another to hold the head on (the hat would've pulled the head off mine without it), and a special headpiece that velcroed inside the head itself. Goodness. While I am not typical costume build, being 5' 1" and a fuller figured woman, the costume was a bit snug, but really no problem. Especially thanks to the ice vest made by J.T. on this list, it helped flatten out my more feminie build. As for the video, the only rough spot I noticed was at the end of the segment for the Green Eggs and Ham characters. Other than that some really nice transitions even into the closing credits! I'd love to see more of these. They'd really help me with my own performances. -Freq -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Using Styrofoam is not a traditional method for head construction, however it has been done with success in the past. I remember a particular Civet who was built with this method quite successfully back in 97. You will find it hard to the touch, but then there are people who prefer fiberglass, and there are also those who use vacuform which is a rigid plastic understructure. And even those who use wire frame. I suppose its what you are comfortable with. Experiment and find your favorite materials. Styrofoam has a couple draw backs vs high density open cell foam however. It is much more messy when carving. Fire retardant properties are less than of standard soft polys. And you will find it is does not breath at all. So make sure you have ventilation. Other than that, have fun with it! There are a few places that sell foam in person, as Karen had suggested, check out your local upholsterers for the soft stuff. There are a couple places you can check who may ship if you are not in the vicinity of a local outlet. http://www.bobsfoam.com/ (our local vendor) http://www.foamorder.com (not sure if they have Styrofoam) A Google search will yield you several results from which I am sure you can find what your are looking for. Good luck.

There are usually a couple of damaged ones in the bunch and you can ask for a discount on these as contractors usually don't want them..

Oct. 6, 7, & 8, 2006! In-Reply-To: Message-ID: [Please pardon the x-posting] Hello Friends! I?m here to remind you the Western Pennsylvania Furry Weekend, http://www.wpafw.org, is being held Columbus Day weekend, October 6-8, 2006, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. But time is running out! Event pre-registration will close in exactly one month and after that the cost to attend the event and reserve a room at the hotel will go up measurably. So what are you still waiting for? Building on the successes of our past events we?ve adjusted our registration structure and secured a 400 square foot meeting room at the Comfort Inn Pittsburgh North for our Friday Furry Social and for our Saturday Night Prowl and Growl. By hosting these events at the hotel we hope to provide a more centralized weekend experience and provide more appeal to securing a hotel room for our guests. This year?s ?Featured Artist? is the renowned Shawntae Howard, writer and illustrator for the popular ?Extinctioners? comic book. http://www.extinctioners.com Pre-registration runs until Friday, September 23, 2006. ? Basic level Pre-registration is $15. (Gets you into the Friday Furry Social, Fur-b-que and Prowl and Growl on Saturday.) ? Supporter level Pre-registration is $20. (All of the above plus front line privilege for food at the Fur-b-que, five Charity Raffle tickets, our esteemed gratitude, and other swag to be determined.) Lodging arrangements have been made with the Comfort Inn Pittsburgh North, just off PA Rt. 28 and PA Turnpike Exit 48, in Harmarville, PA. The Western PA Furry Weekend has secured a block of 20 rooms for both Friday and Saturday nights at a flat rate of $69.99 + tax. Our Furry Weekend Charity once again is "Animal Friends," Pittsburgh's only no-kill animal shelter. Last year we raised nearly $400 towards this worthy cause over the course of two events. This year we?ll have to try to exceed that donation in only one event. If you can help by making a donation of original goods or services please visit the event website and send an e-mail to Akirashima, our Charity Raffle coordinator, at charitywpafw.org. This short message by no means conveys all the information available on this year?s event. I encourage you to visit the Western PA Furry Weekend website at http://www.wpafw.org for everything you need to know about pre-registration, programming and activities, as well as lodging. I also invite you to sign up for the Furry Weekend Forums where you can get the latest information on the event, pose questions and suggestions, and hook up with your friends for room and ride shares. So mark your calendars and register now to join us in the beautiful autumn clad foothills of the Allegheny Valley and see friends old and new.

I also use a hood to cover up my hair in suit. A good supply for these is a dance studio, where they sell ballet outfits and such. They should have black and white hoods. Since my hair tangles easily, I wrap up my ponytail as well. I stitched up a long tube of fabric and simply thread my hair through it. A couple of hair ties later, and I'm set.

Steve Plunkett has been involved with furry since 1993, and has attended over 30 furry and furry-related conventions. He has been a staff member with Morphicon as the director of our Variety Show for the past three years, and staff at Mephit Furmeet and Further Confusion. He is most well-known for advancing the art of puppetry within furry fandom. More recently he has started working with fursuit constriction. Even though he's "one of our own", we felt this honor was overdue, and we're very pleased to name him as a GoH. Summer Jackson is a popular furry artist who has appeared in numerous furry publications, including Gallery, Yarf, and Furrabian Nights. Kitt Foxx is a furry artist and an accomplished costumer, currently living in California. He was also the winner of our t-shirt contest last year!

(I actually knew that--but I'm certain I'm not the only fur to have confused the two names at 3 am!) Also, for those lists that weren't crossposted to, pictures are up from Morphicon 2006 and from Morphicon's annual march in the Columbus Pride Parade: Morphicon 2006: http://trickster.wereanimal.net/MC06/ Parade 2006: http://trickster.wereanimal.net/CPP06/ These are mine, but they seem to be the most complete bunch out there.

Trickster From cjwillms at comcast.net Mon Aug 28 22:22:20 2006 From: cjwillms at comcast.net (CJ Williams) Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 19:22:20 -0700 (Pacific Standard Time) Subject: FL: CBS Seeking Fursuit Family Message-ID: <44F3A4DC.000003.01756@CEROLOBO_TABLET> This is rather strange. Today I received a message through Frappr Maps stating that CBS is searching for a fursuit family with at least one kid between the age of 5-18. I don't know if it is legitimate or not, but if it is true, we may be able to get a bit of good media out of it, and truth be told, I would probably watch it if they did go through with it. Message Received through Frappr Dear Sir or Madam, I'm a Casting Producer with ABC Television and we're looking for unique families with unique interests and lifestyles to feature on our primetime documentary-style programming. I'd love to feature a family who wears and collects fur suits on "Wife Swap," ABC's family show that allows two very different families the opportunity to experience a different lifestyle and while also teaching another family about their own family philosophy. We'd love to feature families who perhaps perform in the children's entertainment field - or even families who wear fur suits to ConFurence-type events to celebrate their love of animals. Whatever the reasoning behind it, we think fur suits are interesting ? and we?re betting our viewers do too! Our show is about showcasing different interests, past times, and sub cultures in America. We're looking for a really outgoing fun fur suit wearing family who could bring a lot of fun and whimsy into the lives of another family for a week. Please don't be confused by the title - Wife Swap is a family show on ABC primetime. The premise is simple: two moms from two very different families get the opportunity to swap lives (but not bedrooms - everyone has their own!) for a week to experience what it's like to live a different lifestyle - and to see what they can teach each other about their own! In this case we re looking to feature outgoing families with unique interests and hobbies - and all the fun that goes along with it. All featured families will receive a $20,000 financial honorarium - and $1000 goes to anyone who refers a family that makes it on the show! We are looking for two parent families with children (between the ages of 5 and 18) who are ready for adventure! I appreciate your help with reaching out to these great families and look forward to hearing from you soon!

They've been sending the request out on as many furry mailing lists as possible so it doesn't appear to be targeted to any group within the fandom (other than 'families'). As far as the legitimacy of the request I'd guess they were actually legit and its not a fake. I emailed them a brief note wishing them luck in the search and a gentle 'heads up' to 'watch out for people in the fandom that take themselves and their fursonas way too seriously' and I got a very nice reply from them today. So if you know a family and you were interested in being on the show - go for it. They're probably not looking to do an expose on the fandom, they just want to show how different people live and what happens when you transplant two different types of folks into a pair of families for a week; I hardly think its sinister sounding at all. Substitute 'star trek fan' for furry and you have a pretty normal concept for a show.

Heather Teta is googling as many furs as she can find in order to find an interested family. I believe the email is legitimate but that Teta is being dishonest. My advice is to watch a few episodes of this show before trying to get involved. I would also try a google search on "Heather Teta." There are LOTS of interesting results, including many bloggers' accounts on interacting with this woman and how she came across them on the web. Most regard her with high suspicion. I think if you have a family that's really into furry, and you really really need the money, then go for it. Just remember that you're risking a LOT of face. Also, don't think that TV can't make you look foolish even if you're the coolest family on the planet. Writers know how to take anything and make it look shitty for the sake of entertainment.

Why not? Is there an easier way to find people than on the internet? How else would there even be a furry fandom to begin with? This isn't the first time I've been emailed by a TV show either. I was asked by a Dr. Phil writer to be on the show (no money offered); my email address had been collected months before when I had written in, and it was grouped in with a particular subject. It was legitimate too: I forwarded the offer to a friend and he ended up going on. The only thing I find not to be very easily believable is the money offered. I imagine the $20,000 is a gimmick to get people to join, and then the contract they have you sign makes it nearly impossible to collect. That's just my guess. --skippyfox From auroaraedward at ywave.com Tue Aug 29 00:07:01 2006 From: auroaraedward at ywave.com (Edward Eugene Smith) Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 21:07:01 -0700 Subject: FL: CBS mate-swap In-Reply-To: <8FBEF4FD-CB2C-42A2-AF51-4D15C627C96A@bearpawsystemseng.com> References: <44F3A4DC.000003.01756@CEROLOBO_TABLET> <6.0.0.22.2.20060828214538.023637f0@mail.fsun.net> <8FBEF4FD-CB2C-42A2-AF51-4D15C627C96A@bearpawsystemseng.com> Message-ID: Good observations, Tibor I have a good feeling about it.

That is if they are. $20,000 is less than the lawyers would cost them to defend them self's in the lawsuits that would follow. In contract law. A heavily lop sided contract will be thrown out every time. You might not find you like the results but they will pay up. But if someone decides to do it. They will have to think if there just getting 30 pieces of silver. But 20k is a lot of money to someone that works min wage. At min wage your looking at less than 12k before taxes. As for my self. I am not acceptable to them. I am not married or have kids. To tell the truth.

I decided that this being the Tenth year of MFM, anyone that can work either Tin or Aluminum (which is the traditional gift for a 10th anniversary) into their act and make it work will get a special award. The act's don't have to have that in there, but it would just be something fun to try to work on. Our excellent sound guy Protius is on deck to keep the sound up and running. We would ask that it be standard cd format type of music or sound or whatever. It would be good if it was the only song on the disk and that he wouldn't need to give it back.

Normally, from what I've seen, The Furry Fandom is populated mainly by those who don't wish to let go of their childhood, much like myself. Raising a family and getting married is most certainly the furthest abandonment from childhood as I can imagine, so seeing a Mother and Father with children who ALL participate would be......kinda strange. Yep I have. I don't expect a furry family to act that way at all though.

It's actually the FOX version of the show. But it's the same idea: Switching wives between two completely different (but greedy) families. If you don't expect an individual in a furry family to act that way, you obviously haven't been on the INTERNET very long. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I see emo and suicidally depressed furs on pretty much every page of LJ posts I sift through. I see just as much ignorance in furry as in the rest of the world and I know TV is not afraid to bring out the worst in us. And it's a REALITY SHOW, guys. Would YOU want to watch a show about a "normal" family? TV wants to make us long as completely different from the rest of the world as possible. It's a bad idea, and if TV makes you and furry look like crap, you can count on being hated sour right out of the fandom. ----- Original Message ----- From: bunny To: fursuit-list at lists.fursuit.org Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 3:15 AM Subject: Re: FL: CBS Seeking Fursuit Family Yep I have.

As for the rest of the nay-sayers, I agree that all scenarios of doom and gloom are possible: the intent is to show that furries are sex- crazed maniacs that want to have yiff-parties in or out of fursuit (or sex with an unworn fursuit - why not blend the fursuit and plushie fetishes and break new controversial ground?); show that furries are a bunch of emo-whores that will crumble, break apart and commit suicide at the first mention of critique or the slightest personal attack; or show furries as a tight-knit group that keeps all media contact closed off and well controlled through a central governing body headed by who else but the furry experts: con chairs. That last one makes the fandom sound like a hybrid between the Montana Freemen and the Branch Dividiots. Did it ever occur to ANYBODY that the intent of the show was to give us a contrast between long island bred waspy family of milquetoast morons that are totally non-functional and completely un-lovable from the audience's perspective (asshole kids, self-absorbed parents consumed by career, young children being completely raised in the hands of day-care). Then offer a 'FURRY' family where the members all chip in and run a small organic farm and sell highly successfully branded 'natural organic FURRY dairy products' at a premium price to waspy boutique gourmet shops all across this great land of ours. They use tails and ears and (gasp) fursuits as part of their marketing of their own brand, which they started doing at farmers markets and local fairs to (gasp) attract attention to themselves. By embracing what they love about the fandom and not being shy or ashamed about it, they manage to take an interest and hobby and show how it can contribute to enrich every aspect of their lives (especially financially). The 'FURRY' family is more functional, loving, cohesive, and perish the thought: by working on a family farm makes the audience get a warm fuzzy feeling (pun intended) about the days gone by from the 50's and 60's when life was simpler and easy and people were all kind, caring, and good (those times never happened by the way - how much did they mention the cold war on Happy Days)? Isn't it possible that the intention of the program is to show that an 'alternative' lifestyle that includes some odd hobbies could actually be better than what we all have come to expect as the 'great american way' of 2.3 kids, dog, house in the suburbs, and 3 SUVs parked in the driveway of your 3000sqft McMini Mansion? Are you people reading your posts? Do you know how paranoid and doom- laden your words sound? Are you really so ashamed of yourselves and what the fandom means to you that you need to build such high walls and close yourself off so much? Are you so used to being a victim that the only perspective you can take in life is one full of unfounded suspicion, avoidance and damage control? If this is the case then it sure explains a great deal about what I read on LiveJournal and what I see when I attend conventions or gatherings. I'm not saying that the show isn't going to do a furry smear piece - I would be deliriously hopeful if I refused to accept that possibility; but come on people, does it always have to be such a personal attack on YOUR fandom? Did it ever occur to you that 99.9% of the general population doesn't give two shits about who we are and what we do? Did you ever consider that even the 'BAD' media attention of the past (whatever you want to call the MTV or CSI or whatever else) actually did some good by bringing more people into the fandom? Some of you may have never met your best friends/mate/ arch nemesis in the fandom if it weren't for that exposure. Being prepared for bad press is great - and its the responsible thing to do as an adult. Arming yourself to the teeth assuming the entire world is out to get the ONE thing that gives you happiness in this life is not being responsible - its actually kind of immature. It might even be a sign of some significant filters on your perceptions which likely contribute to your viewpoint on everything in your life, not just all things furry. If you feel miserable, defensive and like a victim all the time its possible the person who is attacking you the most is yourself, and you may want to consider questioning the way you see things in this world sometimes.

I know of individuals and couples who fursuit, but offhand don't know of any that meet the kid requirement (unless just having one adult in the family who fursuits is enough). Second, no matter how good intentioned or not, it'd turn out goofy at best. Interviewing furs has always leaned towards turning out... not as they pictured it. Doing an episode on family life, those making the show will be sure to push the situation to the more abnormal side of the spectrum - it's a tv show, it needs ratings, you get more ratings off Jerry Springer than a boring documentary showing these 'wacky' families being too normal - they want the wacky families to be wacky. But anyways, people want to do it, that's their business. You'll be well known after the fact though :P -Lynx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

You're doing a real good job of the latter. IMO the fact that you're getting so hyper and dramatic about this just goes to show how easily a person can be shown in a negative light on television. Yeah, I agree that the media CAN make us look good. Some writers HAVE. But before you go accusing all of us of being so ignorant maybe you should actually watch a few episodes of Wife Swap and Trading Spouses yourself. The writers always need a point of conflict and they want the audience to take one side. Otherwise there's no story. So you have about a 50% chance of the Furry Family being shown as good guys and a 50% chance of being shown looking like fools. If you like to gamble maybe this is your thing. Frankly, it's a really stupid risk to take.

Nope. Not for a second.

Wow. Does a 'furry' organic farming family like this exist within this fandom? If they do, I've never heard of them, who are we talking about here? (or is this just hyperbole presented for the sake of rose-colored argument?) The whole thing is pretty much moot anyway, as very few furs in the fandom have a wife, much the less any kid(s). And even those that do would be unlikely to give up their privacy and risk being lampooned on national TV. Anyone even remotely intersted should read up on the history of the show, it's been around for a few years. For example: http://www.realitytvworld.com/wifeswap/ http://www.turnoffyourtv.com/programsratings/wifeswap/wifeswap.html And of course Wikipedia even has an entry on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wife_Swap Also, one last note-- "Wife Swap" is on ABC, not CBS. Odd that the E-mail claims that it's on CBS, unless they want to do their own version. (The E-mail I received about this claimed it was from ABC). -SJ From chameleon264 at yahoo.com Wed Aug 30 00:15:33 2006 From: chameleon264 at yahoo.com (Black Foot) Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 21:15:33 -0700 (PDT) Subject: FL: New Wolf finished In-Reply-To: <082920061719.10569.44F4773D00051DFA00002949220076230202010704019C@comcast.net> Message-ID: <20060830041533.84218.qmail@web56910.mail.re3.yahoo.com> It looks so realistic and I thought that you had chopped a wolf's head off to get that (LOL) solion at comcast.net wrote: Well Finnaly got a wolf done and up on the site.

This month your mission notes are quick and dirty but important to maximize your chances of success. In this briefing: 1. Pre-reg Price Increase 2. Travel Assistance Program 3. Web Banner Release 4. Hotel Reservations Issue 5. Conbook Submission Guidelines 1. Pre-reg Price Increase Effective September 1st, our pre-registration rate increases to $45. So if your a spy or villain on a budget, use our online registration system immediately. If not and you're on an expense account, we'll gladly accept that extra $5. You can reach online registration at: 2. Travel Assistance Program Help people get to Further Confusion! Each year, we have some folks who need a little bit of extra help in affording the trip to Further Confusion. This is your chance to help them out. The folks listed on this page are folks who have specifically requested help from the fandom and are people we feel are worthy of your consideration. How to request Travel Assistance If you need just a little help in getting to Further Confusion 2007, we're here for you! FC can offer travel assistance to those in need. Just e-mail us at info at furtherconfusion.org (with 'Travel Assistance' in the subject line), and we'll add you to the list below. When e-mailing us, make sure that you include your real name, fan name, mailing address, and provide a brief description about yourself and what you feel you can contribute to the convention. Note that the deadline for getting onto the travel assistance list is October 1, 2006. Donating to the Travel Assistance fund If you want to make a donation to the convention to help a specific person listed here, here's how you do it. Send us a check (our address is listed on our Contacts page) with the name of the individual listed in the memo field of the check (or money order, as the case may be). We will deposit that check into our accounts, and on December 5 we will notify the person of the amount received on their behalf. We will NOT reveal the names of persons who have made such contributions unless both the recipient and the donor desire us to. 3. Web Banner Release You asked for it and our brave graphic design department here at HQ always supports its agents in the field. Our web banner link is now available at the following location: http://www.furtherconfusion.org/fc2007/banner.php 4. Hotel Reservations Issue Due to overwhelming early demand, our room block is out of certain types of rooms on certain nights. The hotel is not yet sold out. We are working on an expanded block, so there's no need to panic. However, to allay the concerns of those of you who can't wait until we get the expanded block increased, here are directions for you to follow. When trying to make a reservation, you may be told that you can only get the convention rate for certain nights and must pay full price for others. If this happens, please go ahead and make your reservation, then send your confirmation number and the (real) name on the reservation to hotel at furtherconfusion.org and let us know. We'll make sure you get our rate for all days. We appreciate your patience until the hotel expands the room block. 5. Conbook Submission Guidelines Once again, our conbook will be an all-color affair, so all you artists with a flare for spies, get in touch with us. You can contact our conbook staff at conbook at furtherconfusion.org. The official conbook submission guidelines will be found here in the next week: Also, stay tuned as we hope to announce a contest of interest to those submitting in our September newsletter. Oh and other agencies, if you want to run a color advertisement, that's acceptable too. 6. Looking for a few good agents We are looking for special agents to fill key staff positions. We have many staff positions open still and we are trying to fill them as soon as possible. There are many different types of staff positions that are open and there are several benefits to being staff. If you are at all interested, email us at hr at furtherconfusion.org (or come to our next staff meeting) and we'll be happy to talk with you and how you can help the convention. 7. Next Staff Meeting Our next staff meeting will be September 16th starting at noon in the San Jose Doubletree. Parking is free - just tell the parking attendant that you're with Further Confusion when you arrive, and then get a sticker for your parking slip in the meeting.

Oct. 6-8, 2006 In-Reply-To: Message-ID: [Please pardon the x-posting] Hello Friends! There are TWO weeks to go before pre-registration ends for the Western Pennsylvania Furry Weekend! http://www.wpafw.org. Two weeks before you miss out on up to $10 in savings you can keep by registering early. Don?t wait any longer. Don?t miss that pre-registration deadline of 12:01AM September 23, 2006. ? Basic level Pre-registration is $15. (Gets you into the Friday Furry Social, and the Fur-b-que and Prowl and Growl on Saturday.) ? Supporter level Pre-registration is $20. (All of the above plus front line privilege for food at the Fur-b-que, five Charity Raffle tickets, our esteemed gratitude, and other swag.) Time is also running out to reserve a room at the hotel at the flat Furry Weekend rate of $69.99! After September 22, all room rates go back to the normal $85 a night, double occupancy, plus extra for each additional occupant. You?ll be missing out on over $15 worth of savings. That?s at least $25 in savings you can?t afford to pass up! So what are you still waiting for??? You?ll let yourself miss out on a mile stone year for this event, now in it?s sixth year, which has secured a 500 square foot meeting room at the Comfort Inn Pittsburgh North for our Friday Furry Social and for our Saturday Night Prowl and Growl. If you procrastinate you?ll miss meeting this year?s ?Featured Artist? the renowned Shawntae Howard, writer and illustrator for the popular ?Extinctioners? comic book. http://www.extinctioners.com And don?t pass up your opportunity to help out our Furry Weekend Charity Animal Friends, Pittsburgh?s only no-kill animal shelter, and pick up one of over 25 furry themed gifts and commissions that are being raffled off to raise money for our worthy charity. This by no means conveys all the information available on this year?s event. I encourage you to visit the Western PA Furry Weekend website at http://www.wpafw.org for everything you need to know about pre-registering, weekend programming and activities, as well as important information on securing lodging at the event rate. I also invite you to sign up for the Furry Weekend Forums where you can also get the latest information on the event, pose questions and suggestions, and hook up with your friends for room and ride shares. So mark your calendars and register now to join us in the beautiful autumn clad foothills of the Allegheny Valley and see friends old and new.

(makers of Enbac) personally thanking you for the support of their product. o When undressing you instinctively reach for the zipper in the back. o You have a headshot of your fursuit on your driver's license/state ID. o You feel naked without your fursuit. o You know your fellow fursuiters more by the names of the characters they play than their real names. o You find yourself using pantomine rather than talking to get your point across. o You think nothing of subsisting for months on water and Ramen Noodles (tm) to be able to afford that new fursuit you want. o You go to an amusement park just to hang out with the costumed characters. o You're so used to the limited vision that your fursuit provides that you will often bump into things and trip on things even when out of your fursuit. o You don't have any childern, yet you have videotapes of programs such as Barney and Friends, Bear in the Big Blue House, Dumbo's Circus, Rimba's Island, and Welcome to Pooh Corner. when you go out trick or treating in your fursuit and end up with more candy then your neighbors kids :) - You see kids on the street and say, "Boy, I wish I brought *name of character* along for the ride!" - You tuck your fursuit tail inside your pants when you go to work (feline tails mainly, try to hide a fox or skunk tail down there.) - You express love, sadness, anger and fear, all with a permanant smile drawn on your face out of costume. - You get caught talking to the case containing your costume, addressing it as the name of your character. - People start thinking you're gay just because you give hugs and pounce anything that moves (male fursuitters mainly). - You travel 4 hours to a remote town to see a local festival, just in case they have a costumed character parading in the streets. - You have tapes of all christmas parades (Disney or otherwise) for the last ten years. - You can't name at least three players on your local sports team, but can recite the name of all mascots of all NBA, NFL and NHL teams (including those who NEED a mascot! Can't believe the Montreal Canadians still don't have one!) - A co-worker calls your name, and you turn around, lean your body in his direction, and bring your hand to your ear... which is no longer on top of your head. - You've been to all costumed character shows, such as Pok?mon the Musical, and Rugrats Live!. - You've brought a new meaning to the words, "Is it me, or is it hot in here?" - You only use smileys to express yourself in a chat room. ;-) - You bought yourself a mini-van, just because it could give you room if you need to get changed on the road. (Undressing's easier than getting the pieces together in such a cramped-up space) - Every time a new animation movie gets out, you plan to go to its studio's theme park to see the character come to life. - Furs start to worship your fursuit and could care less about the person inside. You get s-mail as well as e-mail addressed to your character instead of you, Your parking permit for a event has your character names on it instead of yours. when youre at an amusment park and you are around the characters and you instinctively adjust their fur around their neckline You quit your heathclub, due to the fact you get a better workout in your suit!

I get regular mail addressed to BJ Buttons all of the time. Look at the return e-mail address of this post :) and I did a relay for life event a few years ago. The team that I was with was called the Sleepy time bears. so having me there in suit worked. The group even had there own lap around the track at 1 am called walk with the bear. The event had arranged for me to get parking close to the track since I was performing in suit as well as working as security when I wasn't in suit/ The pass I got for the van, yes I bought a van so there would be a place to haul around the furry stuff and in a pinch change into the suit :), the pass had BJ Buttons" listed instead of my real name. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Well easy , just select all those criterias on the search page and hit search, you'll then get the list of suits matching these criterias. :) You can do so with many other criterias pertaining to construction :) 3D eyes, head types, suit types, etc.. I'll reorganise the criterias better as they are growing. ;) **Buying** You're going to buy a suit of a certain species, but not sure who to commission ? well just search for all suits of that species, and then see which builder fits more what you are looking for , then just go to their website for more infos once you've choosen :) **Performance** suiters have the hability to list their suits as 'available for performing' So you can also search for those available for performing :) let's say that for a particular event, you are looking for wolf costumes, in California, but which are 75% toony or more as to not scare childrens ? Well , again just fill in all those criterias and you'll get the results **Finding a suit** you've seen a suit at a convention, you know it's a wolf, and would like to contact the owner / builder, but are unsure who it was ? well search all suits who attended that convention and are a wolf, fill in any other criteria to pin point more, or just list :) **Suiters** well it's a good place to keep your suit datas and history in the DB, so that you can point others to the infos, and keep track of the suit history :) Well I'm not going to list all , but possibilities are endless, and if you think there's something missing or a major feature missing don't hesitate to contact me to give your suggestions :) I need to take a small break from all the coding I had in the past few months on the site, but features will be added as my time permit. And the 2nd more eye candy and dynamic interface will be coming too (Yakeo will be working on the design and I'll do the rest ) Well thanks for reading, and unless it's remarks pertaining to the subject of this list, better take it on the site's LJ or in private emails as to not spam the list.

Did the site lose information when it was updated to the new search engine or is there a third fursuit database out there that I can no longer find? Thanks for looking into this.

Scrap leather is much cheaper than new naugahide or vinyl.

We're putting out the call for lots of things this time and look forward to seeing all your best new techniques and sharing of information with fellow agents in our vast tracks of programming. So without further ado, here's the latest news. Please update your cached encrypted archives as this email might self destruct in 30 seconds (or 3, our technical branch has been having a few quality control issues with everyone on vacation.) 1. Hotel Status and Overflow Hotel Announcement 2. GOH Announcement for Jerry Pournelle 3. Silicon Room Party 4. Masquerade Announcement 5. Conbook Announcement 6. FNL Reminder 7. Pre-Reg Price Increase 8. Badge Art Wanted! 9. Dealer's Room 10. Furry Market Place 11. Art Show 12. FCTV Submissions sought out 13. Panelists and Panels 14. Next public meeting ------------------------------------------- 1. Hotel Status and Overflow Hotel Announcement Due to overwhelming early demand, our host hotel - the San Jose Doubletree - is almost completely sold out of rooms. There are only a handful left on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Since it is so early, we hacked into the appropriate mainframe and managed to get an overflow hotel: We now have a contracted room block at the Hyatt San Jose hotel, which is just 0.2 miles from the Doubletree. Rooms are available from Wednesday the 17th thru Monday the 22nd, with a precious 1 reservation available on the 23rd (act fast if you want it!). The Hyatt, which will officially become a Holiday Inn at the end of September, offers the following: . Free Parking . Free airport shuttle . Free in Room Internet . Rooms for up to four occupants For more information on hotel amenities, visit . Making a reservation at the Hyatt/Holiday Inn: Price: $114/night. Yes, more than the DoubleTree, but still really cheap considering standard Bay Area rates. Reservations: Call (800) 233-1234 or (888) 975-1234. Specify "Further Confusion" as the Group when requesting a room or you will not get the convention rate. This is a limited block so please act quickly. We're sorry, but at this point we cannot process special room requests (there is no such thing as a "fursuit floor" at the Hyatt) or offer a shuttle service between hotels. Thankfully, its within pretty easy walking distance. You can find all this information and more on the hotel page: 2. GOH Announcement for Jerry Pournelle Further Confusion is pleased to announce that our second GOH for FC2007 will be none other than award winning novelist and scientist, Jerry Pournelle. We are sure that all the evil geniuses will look forward to picking his brain for the latest developments in science, technology, and anthropomorphic alien elephant invasion scenarios. For all the information on Mr. Pournelle, you can find his full biography at: 3. Silicon Room Party Shaken or Furred? The FC2007 Room party at Silicon is a go. If you are in the Bay Area or planning to attend Silicon, please drop by and visit us on October 7, 2006 from 8pm til we run out of Martini mixers or the Chairwoman decides enough is enough. Shaken or Furred? FC2007 Silicon Room Party October 7, 2006 8 pm Room 243 San Jose Doubletree Hotel Silicon Membership is not required but they sure can use the support and have a reasonable day membership for $20 More info on Silicon can be found at: 4. Masquerade Announcement Our fearless masquerade folks are up and running. This year we're announcing a new level for the Masquerade! There will be the standard levels like usual; Novice, Journeyman, and Master. And if you've won in the past, you may do so again at the same level as last time! And don't be afraid anymore of going up against professionals, because now they've got their own category. Also, judging will be mainly on construction, so you MUST be at the rehearsal to present your suit. Please see the website for more information at: 5. Conbook Announcement Our conbook submissions guidelines are now up and available. Remember, our book is once again all color this year, so we can accept color as well as black and white submission. The deadline for submitting art or written materials is November 1, 2006. We also have room for a couple of short stories and other written materials. For all the info please see the following: 6. FNL Reminder Get ready your spy gear, decoder rings and undercover disguises, Agents! Furry Night Live is back again on Sunday night as the number one place to see furry variety acts performed live. Break out the shoe phone and deploy those dashing agents, femmes fatales, and thuggish hench-bears. Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Assemble your secret forces to put together an act or skit fitting the spy theme "Fur Your Eyes Only." Are you a Rogue Agent with no act or skit? Not an Impossible Mission! Our crack team of operatives will have scripts, acts, and skits for you to participate in. For more information contact Furry Night Live Lead, Yippee Coyote, at fnl at furtherconfusion.org. To subscribe to the official Furry Night Live discussion E-mail list go to 7. Pre-Reg Price Increase Effective September 1st, our pre-registration rate has increased to $45. Pre-registration will be available at that price until December 30th. You can reach online registration at: 8. Badge Art Wanted! Further Confusion is currently seeking artwork submissions for the 2007 membership badge inserts. Both color and black & white artwork will be accepted, and all artwork will be considered on overall 'look and feel', plus these additional points: . Size: Art must scale to be printed at 4" x 2". . Theme: Art must accurately reflect the theme of the con. . Age appropriateness: The art must be suitable for viewing by children. Artists submitting images should be aware that there is no payment for badge art chosen, and the artist gives Further Confusion the right to reproduce the image as badge art for FC2007. The artist will be credited on the insert and in the con program book. The artist retains all other copyrights and reproduction rights beyond the above. Submission deadline is November 1st, 2006. All qualifying submissions will be seriously considered and we will choose 6 designs. All artists will be notified by December 1st as to whether or not their submissions have been chosen. For more information, please see 9. Dealer's Room There were ten half-table spaces offered to people on the Dealers Room waiting list at the beginning of August. Not all of the dealers who were offered the spaces accepted, so we still have a small number of spaces open. These will be offered again on November 1st by random drawing to those on the waiting list at that time. If you want to take part in the random drawing for a half table in the dealers room, you should fill out the waiting list form which is linked from the Dealer's Room website at and send it back to us so that it arrives before the November 1st deadline. 10. Furry Market Place The first round of Furry Market Place space offers is closed, and we filled all the spaces that we had available. The next round will open on November 1st, when we will be offering another 10 spaces. These spaces will be offered on a first-come first-served basis. You should note that any second round requests postmarked before November 1st will be _put at the back of the queue_. More details will follow in the October mission briefing. 11. Art Show Art Show Panel Requests are now open! We are selling out quickly and are at about 50% of our total capacity at present. Please go to for announcements and further information, or send in a request for an information packet to artshow at furtherconfusion.org. 12. FCTV Submissions sought out Its that time of year again. Have some nifty furry video or show you'd like to see on FCTV? Well now's the time to start the submittal process! Right now anything with a PG or lower rating is on the table, so submit away! Any length, any format. To submit, just send an e-mail to fctv at furtherconfusion.org with information on your submission and we'll take it from there! Also feel free to e-mail if there's something you yourself didn't make, but would like to see on FCTV! We'll reach out to content creators ourselves if we have to! Deadlines for major content submission is November 31st (we need time to prepare it all), so if you've got that great video idea, get filming! 13. Panelists and Panels Our devious programming track leads are rapidly filling up the schedule to give you too many choices once again. If you have an idea for a panel you would like to see or run, please drop a line to events at furtherconfusion.org. The deadline for panel ideas is November 1 (So that we can make sure we get the panelists credit in the con book) so act soon. 14.

I reinforse the fur with product called goop. but hot glue should work too. If the eyes are screen run a bead of hot glue around the edge of the screen and fold the edge of the fur on to it.. We sew the fur to the sreen eyes and then add them to the foam. Hope some of that helps.

I found this via Fark today, and saw that it could easily fire off all sorts of claw-type thoughts: http://www.muc.muohio.edu/~natedogg/main.htm I thought I'd share that with fellow suiters here as I know that quite a few have the ability to make these. Heres a thought of my own for building retractable animal claws: Use a shoulder harness much like the ones that amputees use to open and close their hooks: stretch the back, claws come out. Relax, claws retract. Have fun! Stego the Rarely-Seen Dino....

The proper pronunciation is "arrrr-ooooooo", but the "oo"ounds still has to keep that 'R" sound. (Kepp your jaw back for that, and experiment with how you place it). Also, stay in a diaphram-voice until you reach the "oo" part, switch into headvoice and do not worry about getting a clear sound; you want it to sound almost husky and wolf-like. Try these tips out; I hope they help. Dragonsfire Super BH wrote: Hi all! I'm performing live at an amateur singing contest in my home town of Southampton, and I'm singing "Hungry like the Wolf" by Duran Duran. I plan to impress the judges by ripping open my shirt during the bridge and revealing a huge wolf decal on an undershirt. However, I'd also like to howl convincingly. Can anyone who suits or role-plays as a wolf perhaps give me some help on how to perfect a wolf howl?

Trevor, you must have never made it to a furry convention. There are plenty of women in fandom, though it wasn't always that way. Sadly, all the ones I seem to find are attached, underage or just nucking futz. Makes me wonder if all the good available women go hide whenever I walk nearby. Telain & Omen, there is one good benefit to being shorter than most. You don't hit your head on all sorts of overhanging branches, shelves, etc. I'm 6'0" tall, and I can't tell you how many times I've smacked my head on something and had my shorter friends laugh at me. There's a benefit and downside to everything. The key is looking at the brighter side now & then. :) Chythar Trevor Hyland wrote: > wow i didn't know there was women in fandom > > ----- Original Message ----- > *From:* Telain Kat > *To:* fursuit-list at lists.fursuitorg > > *Sent:* Monday, October 02, 2006 7:20 PM > *Subject:* Re: FL: (no subject) > > Nothin wrong with being little.

Florida's furry arts and entertainment convention is back for another spin, and this time, we're bringing the fun to the First Coast! Megaplex 2007 will be held on March 2-4, 2007, at the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverwalk, in Jacksonville, Florida. LET'S MEET OUR GUEST OF HONOUR! Megaplex 2007 is happy to announce that Mike Kazaleh will be joining us as Guest of Honour this year! Mike is a professional animator and comics artist; old-school furry fans will remember his comics work on "The Adventures of Captain Jack" (Fantagraphics), and "Mean Green Bondo Machine" and "The Suit" (MU Press). He has also drawn "Ren and Stimpy" for Marvel, "Cow and Chicken" for DC Comics, and "The Mighty Mutanimals" for Archie Comics, and is currently working on "Futurama" for Bongo Comics and "Camp Lazlo" for DC. Animation-wise, his credits include "The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse", "Tiny Toon Adventures", and "The Simpsons"; more recently, he has worked on "Krypto the Superdog", "Johnny Test", and "Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi". He was also a storyboard artist for the recent release, "The Ant Bully". Please join us in welcoming Mike to Megaplex 2007! HAVE YOU VISITED THE WEBSITE LATELY? If not, you're missing out on a really cool design job, courtesy of one Jess "Lynxcat" Kiela, our talented art director. As the fellows in that one commercial put it, "Brilliant!" What can you do on http://www.ppmp.info/ ? Well, you can register for the convention, order your con t-shirt, reserve your dealer's room table(s), and purchase con book advertisements and personals! Not to mention, we'll be updating the site regularly with news and notes to get you ready for the con. Also, keep an eye on our "megaplex" community on LiveJournal, for additional information from not only the staff of Megaplex, but our members as well! That site is http://megaplex.livejournal.com/ . WHAT ARE T-SHIRTS, ALEX? We will have Megaplex 2007 t-shirts...more info on the design is coming soon. In the meantime, be sure to order yours when you register - we won't have that many available beyond what is ordered, and if last year was any indication, the extras will go fast! T-Shirts are $12 for Small through 2X-Large when pre-ordered. DEALERS ROOM TABLES! Our members asked for it, so Megaplex is bringing back a traditional Dealer Room in 2007! Bring your art, comics, clothing, DVDs - whatever you'd like to show! Table reservations can be made when you register for the convention. Full tables are only $40 apiece (limit two) - grab one for yourself, or find a partner to share. Either way, reserve early! Space is limited - first come, first served! Please remember the rating! All materials being displayed publicly must be no more than PG-rated. Applying labels or other coverings in order to conceal its objectionable portions will not be acceptable. BOO! Furloween is coming up October 28th...check out http://www.floridafurs.com/furloween/ for more information. While you're at Furloween, be sure to pick up your Megaplex 2007 flyer...there'll be a code on the flyer that will get you $5 your base membership at Megaplex, if you register with the code by November 30th! (To Keep The Insurance Folks Happy : Furloween is operated by Patrick "Mach" Dowden; Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. is in no way involved with the operation of the event.) WHAT'S BEHIND DOOR #1? It's time to play! This year, we're working up a Game Show theme that is sure to entertain. If you have an idea for a panel or event that fits into our theme for 2007, drop us a line at megaplex-feedback at pawpet.org . We want your feedback on exactly what you want to see at the convention, and we want to get with folks who would like to run said panels and events. Megaplex is ultimately the members' convention, so help make it the best it can be! We're always on the lookout for volunteers, as well. Drop us a note if you'd like to help out in March. HOTEL RESERVATIONS OPEN! This year, Megaplex 2007 will be held at the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverwalk, in downtown Jacksonville, Florida.

Admission is $11.00 (10% discount for AAA members and military personnel). We'll prowl the zoo, and answer questions about Megaplex and the Jacksonville area as we go. Directions to the Jacksonville Zoo can be found at http://www.jaxzoo.org/visit/directions.asp . If you're not in the area, come chat with us! We use the same IRC server as the Funday Pawpet Show does - irc.pawpet.org 6667. We'll be in the #megaplex channel on most Sunday nights, during the Funday Pawpet Show (7pm-11pm EDT), and we'll have weekday evening meetings open to the public as well (watch this space).
