Back to your regular scedualed costume talk. Well it looks like you will only see one new fursuit from me. The guy that makes my head frames. (I do the rest including installing the ears and furing the heads) Only made one of the three that I was expecting to have done for FC. I guess you will have to wait for Califur to see the others that I have planed. His Most Royal Highass, Donkey I know... This was off topic to Lance. Oh well.

You can also utilize the nearby Skyway service to get to the Landing (http://www.jtaonthemove.com/services/skyway.aspx), or take a pleasant stroll over the Main Street Bridge. For those wanting to stay on the hotel's side of the river, eateries and stores can be found a short walk away in the San Marco shopping district. We'll have additional information on attractions and ammenities on our web site soon, as well as how to get there from Jacksonville International Airport. In the meantime, if you have a question about Florida's First Coast, drop Karl Meyers a line at mp-ceo at pawpet.org. (He lives there, after all! :) NOW, FOR OUR FEATURE PRESENTA...oops, sorry, last year's theme. :) COME ON DOWN! Florida's furry arts and performance 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! 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...especially with our members at the contestants! Keep an eye on the Events page at http://www.ppmp.info for more details on the specific games, and how you can play! There'll be fursuit-specific games, as well as games for all our members to join in on. It wouldn't be a game show theme without the return of a crowd favourite - the Gong Show! Our annual variety-show-with-a-twist is always entertaining...play along, even if your act isn't that great; sometimes it's better to perform and have been gonged than never to have performed at all! Contact Josh Strom at mp-variety at pawpet.org if you'd like to perform in the show. Whose Line Is It Anyway? Our improvisational stars', that's who...and that could include you! The improv returns for another spin in 2007. Megaplex also welcomes the return of a couple of guys who always keep us in stitches - Uncle Kage, and 2, the Ranting Gryphon will be back for 2007, with their unique stories and comedy. Kage and 2 often test out new material for Anthrocon here first, so come hear what's up! DJ Rory will be with us, as well, spinning the tunes for a fursuit-friendly dance! There'll be mystery amongst the merriment...more information on this in coming weeks. For our fursuiting and puppeteering members, Santa Fox is working those tracks this year. Say, here he is now! "Greetings, everyone! I've been asked to take on the Fursuiting and Pawpetry Tracks at MegaPLEX this year, and I don't have much time to spare, so I need to get the ball rolling pretty quickly.

If you're interested in helping out with the above, drop Santa a note at mp-fursuit at pawpet.org, or mp-puppet at pawpet.org! Plus, we'll be bringing back the late-night showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, a smash hit from 2006! (Yes, we're bending the rating a little for this one - badges will be checked at the door, and no minor badges will be admitted.) If you have any other ideas for a panel or event that fits into our theme for 2007, drop John Cole a line at mp-programming 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. HAVE YOU VISITED THE WEBSITE LATELY? 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...with a design by our Guest of Honour, Mike Kazaleh! 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! Full tables are only $40 apiece (limit two) - grab one for yourself, or find a partner to share. Register for your tables when you register for the convention - it's easy to do! Go to http://www.ppmp.info and follow the "Reg" link. Reserve early! Space is limited - first come, first served! NOTE : Please remember the rating! All materials being displayed publicly must be no more than PG-13 rated. Applying labels or other coverings in order to conceal its objectionable portions will not be acceptable. If you have any questions on this, contact Karl Meyers on mp-ceo at pawpet.org. STAY TUNED! Keep an eye on http://www.ppmp.info/ and http://megaplex.livejournal.com/ for the latest news and information, and please do not hesitate to drop us a line at megaplex-feedback at pawpet.org (or to the chairman directly at mp-ceo at pawpet.org) if you have suggestions or questions regarding the convention. Also, please join our dedicated mailing list for Megaplex! Information on joining can be found at http://lists.pawpet.org/mailman/listinfo/megaplex-list . Hope to see you at Megaplex 2007!

It's not unusual to mix a fursuit with a facial makeup job like straight makeup or appliances. I've done this plenty of times. Only difference with this is that it takes longer to put on, anywhere from an hour or more. I had one that took 4 hours to do several years ago.

I think the character was more hugely popular in the states but i recall a time he was aired over here as well before becoming a kinda background icon for walkers UK. The head is hilariously huge, which adds great character appeal. I just have to ask, how heavy is something like that? I presume its all foam? I ask because I have a sylvester the cat suit and his head is huge, made mostly of paper and masche moulded. He is a tad on the heavy side :) Regards, Colifox _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live? Messenger has arrived.

Its free publicity. Most comic book/strips encourage it. In San Diego at Comic Con. The comic company's give prises at the costume contest to the fans that make costumes that represent there characters the best. I think I remember one prise being $500 in products. Some have prises of $100 to $200 in cash. His Most Royal Highass, Donkey On 1/5/07, Anime Cat wrote: > > Yeah, copyrights are a pain in the tail. You can get away with on a very > limited basis.

A local ABA basketball team, the Rochester Razorsharks, are hosting a Mascot Basketball Game on Jan 13th. They are in need of several characters to perform at this event. It would involve meet'n'tgreets, fan entertaining and crowd roaming, and of course the mascot basketball game at half time. The game is an afternoon game with a start time at around 2:05PM, so you will be getting out before evening. If you are interested in this event, email me privately and provide the following information, and I'll get you in touch with the Sales/Event Manager, Kim. Please let me know what suit (i.e., specie and name of character) you will be bringing, your real name and email, and from there I'll get you more info, including the invitation form and team contact info.

Parents searching youtube for footage of a barney concert for their 3 year old running across that might be upset, and if the company doesn't sue the pants off people for doing that, then the company is liable to get sued by parents. So, yeah... it depends on who the character is, and how they're being portrayed, and if the company has strict rules about their copyrighted material.

For the past several years, "Rapid T. Rabbit and Friends" had been doing a similar event at the Stony Brook University Seawolves basketball game on Long Island. At the present time, the team has not decided yet for certain if they will have their "mascot day" event this season but I am waiting for a decision on that. On my suggestion, they are considering adding it onto a promotion that they already have scheduled for Sunday February 11, which will be the birthday celebration for Wolfie, the university's mascot.

I've never been as overwhelmingly awed as I was when I looked through the room where we lined up for the fursuit parade and all I could see was wall-to-wall fursuits: 213 of them to be exact. The parade experience alone was well worth the 1,500 mile round-trip for me. I'll give fair warning, though, that with over a thousand attendees and over two hundred fursuiters, MFF might be a bit overwhelming for someone who's never been to a furry con before. While I definitely recommend going to MFF if you can, you might want to try finding a way to get to one of the smaller cons this year to get a feel for what cons are like in an environment that isn't so big or jam packed with furs. If you're not sure what cons are out there, just post telling what part of the country you're in, and I and others here can certainly give you some suggestions. Of course, if you really can't get to any other cons, don't let me scare you away from MFF. You'll still have a good time there even without any previous con experience - it'll just be that much more fun if you learn about cons somewhere smaller and then tackle a large con - at least, that's my humble opinion.

I missed 2006 but hopefully 2007 will bring better luck. One thing that's fantastic about MFF is its location, it's near a mall and a lot of good restaurants - so it doesn't suffer from lack of variety, requiring a car, or having to order out. And for first time con-goers, those that might actually want to step out of the hotel for a little bit, good options ^.^ Yeah, first time con-goers may be a little overwhelmed (though last time I attended, I thought it was still in the comfortable size range), but I mean Anthrocon was my first con so even first timers can survive a lot of people and chaos of a furcon ^.^ Better survival tips are for attendees to have some sort of contact with people before attending, knowing there's people to meet and do stuff with takes some of the pressure of the unknown off your shoulders (and thru those people you'll meet tons more people, it's always the first contact that's the hardest). And of course being part of activities such as fursuiting, or volunteering for the con can help get you interacting with a goal rather than worrying about winging a first impression. Amount of people in my experience isn't really the only judge for whether a con is a good first con. If you get caught up where a lot of groups don't mingle, whether they're large or small it'll limit your experience. I think activities, panels (heh, I went to those much more often when I was new to the convention scene), volunteering - anything to get you out of your room, meeting people, and having fun - that's what you got to look for. And on that end, I think MFF does very well. -Lynx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I'm staff there, so I'm a little biased. It's a nice, "small" Con of maybe 700 furs. Rocket City Furmeet (www.rcfm.net) over Memorial Day Weekend. I haven't been to this one, but I have a few friends that love this Con. You also might consider Furry Weekend Atlanta (www.furryweekend.com) the weekend after Valentine's Day. I know the staff, and they put on a great show. Also, if you're comfortable in the St Louis area, Tyger Cowboy (tygercowboy at gmail.com) puts together a furry contingent for the Mardi Gras parade in St Louis. There's usually a small itinerary planned. It's not a Con, but it is a good way to meet fursuiters from the region where the midwest, west, and south meet. E-mail him for information. In short, there are plenty of opportunities to sniff around and explore the scene.

Well, there's always the Cape May Furmeet. Hopefully that one will be back "on track" this year. Other than that the closest con is FurFright up in CT. in October.

Firstly. Necks. I've read the FAQ countless times (its a great way to get me in the mood to work on another suit) but the section on necks is still blank. I usually face a bit of a problem when I make them. Looking at other suits sometimes its hard to tell if their necks are attached to their heads, suits, or if they're separate all together. Also, what about closing them up to look "seamless"? So far I've used velcro, but unless I"m standing before I mirror or have help I often can't close it so it looks right. Any suggestions? Secondly. Footpaw bottoms! There's always the debate of pawpads vs durability, that is, to make them decorative, or made to withstand walking-- and possibly stepping in something when outside (big problem at Oklacon with all the dogs about). So what sorts of things are good for bottoms? Obviously one could just make paws over an old pair of shoes and thus have the shoebottom to walk on, but what about the decorative pawpad route?

One of their main ways of doing this is through a special captive breeding program to help maintain endangered and threatened species. While their breeding program is their main focus, they do accept some animals in urgent and critical need of rescue, primarily taking in animals that most other sanctuaries would not be able to handle. CCI also does community and school presentations to help educate children and adults in ways that they can help to preserve species for generations to come. Please be sure to stop by and meet CCI's representatives at FWA this year. If you'd like to help support CCI, you can make direct contributions to them while at FWA, as well as by donating items to or buying items at our Charity Auction scheduled for the Saturday afternnon of FWA. Further details on the Charity Auction and when and where you can meet CCI at FWA will be posted in the near future. For more information, visit our website at (http://www.furryweekend.com/charity) # CHARITY AUCTION As we have in previous years, Furry Weekend Atlanta will be holding a charity auction on Sunday to support our 2007 charity (see above). If you have anything to donate to the auction, bring it with you to the convention and let our staffers know! We, and our furry friends in North Carolina, appreciate it! # PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE POSTED The preliminary FWA 2007 schedule is now available for online viewing! Please remember, this is a preliminary schedule, and is still subject to change between now and the beginning of the con. (http://www.furryweekend.com/schedule) # PROGRAMMING SPOTLIGHT: SOLVING FURSUIT CONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS Do you have a fursuit or fursuit piece that you've been working on, but have gotten stuck trying to figure out some aspect of the design? Have a finished piece that doesn't fit or move quite right, but can't figure out how to rework it? Bring your problem parts and pieces to this interactive workshop where both our panel of expert builders and the audience will provide insight, ideas, and suggestions to help you finish or perfect your fursuit. Participants should be aware that this is an interactive discusssion forum, and that the panelists are available to provide input, not to actually make physical repairs or changes to your fursuit. # PROGRAMMING SPOTLIGHT: LIVE MUSIC We love music and want it to be part of our weekend! On Friday on the Main Stage, join Critical Fail, an all-furry rock band out of Huntsville, Alabama, that will be continuing their annual tradition of FWA shows this year. Then, on Saturday, rock out with Sub-Level 03, the furry band out of Oklahoma that has become a staple of furry conventions everywhere! # VOLUNTEERS WANTED Interested in lending a paw at Furry Weekend Atlanta? Let our volunteering director know! Contact him at volunteers at furryweekend.com. # THE FWA MASQUERADE The FWA First Annual Masquerade is a judged costuming event, with both Technical Judging (i.e. Fursuit Design and Construction) and Performance Judging. The big Masquerade Show will be at noon on Sunday of the con, and is open to everyone at the con to come and watch all the fun. During the show, there will be a non-judged section where anyone (non-suiters included) can do an act, much like with a traditional Furry Variety Show. If you are interested in participating in the Masquerade or want more information on the event, please be sure to see the following FWA LiveJournal Community Post: http://community.livejournal.com/furryweekend/65508.html And also be sure to download the Masquerade Guidlines and Registration Forms packet: http://www.furryweekend.com/files/fwa-masquerade-guidelines.pdf Furry Weekend Atlanta The Deep South's Anthropomorphics Exposition February 16-18, 2007 Sheraton Gateway Hotel Atlanta, GA, USA http://www.furryweekend.com -- Santa Fox's Den - http://santafox.home.comcast.net/ From marcwolf at anubis-systems.com Mon Jan 8 20:34:00 2007 From: marcwolf at anubis-systems.com (David Boccabella) Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2007 11:34:00 +1000 Subject: FL: Seamless necks, footpaws, and stuff In-Reply-To: <8C9018EBFF28433-62C-6C99@WEBMAIL-DC13.sysops.aol.com> Message-ID: Hi Link Wolf Something I have tried and it works well is to make a cut-out of the base of the paw using heavy duty carpet squares. You can get them in a variety of colors and they are very durable. If they start to wear then just make another cut-out. You can also glue pads onto the for extra visibility. I use thick rubber for these and yes - they do wear byt you just replace them. Also the carpet is deosigned to be washable so that any nasties you tread in can be washed out.

I did not have anything to do with this idea but I liked it so much that I incorporated it into all of my fursuits after that. The person that I got the idea from has two realistic fuirsuits one is a jackalope and the other is a coyote the names that I have access to there called "Diego Coyote and Jacko Lopez" I know them from FC05. I don't think that having ones fursuit head seamless is as important to toons as it is for realist. But that's for each persons tastes.

There are lots of methods, when in doubt, add more fur! For foot paw pads I use foam rubber flooring, The interlocking flooring squares for under weight benches, workshops etc. The are avail at lowes and they come in different colors. You could also cut up some flip flops. (They are meant to be walked on! ) You will have some 3-D paw pads so therefore when you walk the fur on the bottoms of your feet will not really touch the floor too much.

In 2004 he brought his cameras to our convention and did a very good piece about the amateur / fan side of mascotting in relation to his overall film which debuted later that year in the Canidian Independent Film Circuit. In 2005 he was hoping to have a New York agency (managed by a former New Line Cinema exec)pick up the film for U.S. distribution. Due to several legal setbacks that avenue had been scrapped. Doug is hoping that he will be able to produce his DVD for the North American market. But there are still many hurdles. Professional Mascots and the companies that govern them can be a finiky bunch. So for now, there is no planned release of DVDs. But you do have two options: 1) Go to FC this year and see it on the big screen! Doug has offered us a unique opportunity to show it to the fandom, very possibly the last time in this sort of setting. It will be shown at 4PM on Main Stage just after the famed original Critterlympics. Be sure to plan your day. http://www.furtherconfusion.org/fc2007/schedulebyday.php?day=1_20_07 2) You can email Doug or James Phillips (Co-Director / Producer) and see what they have to say aboug getting a DVD ... http://www.mascotmovie.com/ james at mascotmovie.com doug at mascotmovie.com Heres hoping to see you at Further Confusion ...

I had found some vinal fabric that I estimate to be about 1/16" thick. This would probabbly work well for short-term use, but I question the lifespan. (They make vinal floors). I had been looking for some type of rubber flooring, and maybe the interlocking stuff is what I've been looking for. (Side note: I don't recall seeing that at Home Depot) Rollermark6 at aol.com wrote: For foot paw pads I use foam rubber flooring, The interlocking flooring squares for under weight benches, workshops etc. The are avail at lowes and they come in different colors. You could also cut up some flip flops. (They are meant to be walked on! ) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

We have just a final batch of announcements for you as you depart to the pre-arranged rendezvous. Keep yer brush passes clean and your traveling papers in order and we'll see you safely next week. In this issue: 1. FC06 DVD 2. Patron and Sponsor Gifts 3. Critterlympics 4. A/V Staff 5. Furly Edition Submission Box Locations 6. FNL Announcement 7. Airbrush Panel Announcement 8. Initial Important Times 9. Dealer's Room Map Available on Website 10. On Site UPS Store Times 11. Time Warp (Hotel Service Corridor) Restrictions 12. Event Schedule Published 13. Forecast Weather 14. The Mascot Movie 15. Kaffeeklatche Sign-Ups 16. Conbook Contributors 17. Final convention meeting 1. FC06 DVD We're very sorry to inform everyone that we've discovered a flaw in the recently received DVDs from 2006 that caused some serious playback problems in one chapter. Right now, the manufacturers are producing corrected DVDs, but we won't be receiving them in time for the convention. We'd like to assure all the patrons from last year who have already been shipped the faulty DVD that they will receive new ones as soon as we have them ourselves. The same will go for anyone who's purchased a DVD through our on-line convention store. Since this delay does mean that we won't have the redone DVD for the convention, we will instead be making a list of those people who would like a copy of it when it becomes available. If you'd like to be put onto the list, please see the helpful people at the convention store table during the convention for the sign-up sheets, or you can place an order through the on-line con store and it will be shipped as soon as we get the replacement DVDs. 2. Patron and Sponsor Gifts Just a quick reminder to all our Patrons and Sponsors. After you get registered on Thursday, you will be able to pick up your patron and staff gifts at the Con store outside the dealers room starting Friday morning. Also, Patrons, please mark your schedule that the Patron Lunch is at 1pm on Saturday. 3. Critterlympics This year, thanks to a very generous bribery package from a charismatic super-villain who wishes to remain anonymous until the time is right, the Critterlympics will serve the dual purpose of public entertainment and minion recruitment. That's right, talent scouts will infiltrate the adoring audience to see which team of intrepid critters has the right stuff to become top-of-the-line henchmen with a chance to get in on the ground floor of an exciting new nefarious scheme for global domination. Events such as the Doomsday Relay, the Wicked Hoops of Contortion, the Other Wicked Hoops of Different Contortion, and more will test your skills to their limits -- do you have what it takes to assist in the conquest of today's hip, modern, youth-oriented world? Sign-ups will begin promptly at noon on Friday, at the Info Desk. The slots fill up very fast, so get there early! You must be there in person to sign up, unless your representative can make a very persuasive case in your stead. We'll also be accepting volunteers for positions as team coaches and burly enforcers (bats will be provided). 4. A/V Staff A/V tech crew will be accepting applications for staff at-convention for anyone interested in working specific events on the main stage. Volunteers can sign up for specific events such as Furry Night Live, Masquerade, art auction, etc. We need follow spot operators, camera operators, and a variety of other positions. There is no maximum, or minimum number of shifts, and work is entirely voluntary. All we ask is that participants be present for the whole event, including it's rehearsals. Anyone may apply, no experience is necessary. Training will be offered at rehearsals, and in down-time between events. Sign-up sheets will be available in the Oak ballroom beginning Thursday night at 8:00 PM. Interested parties may also e-mail av at furtherconfusion.org before the convention to sign up, or ask any questions. 5. Furly Edition Submission Box Locations The Furly Edition, your, at con newsletter will have submission boxes available 24 hours a day at the Info-desk and Convention Operations.

These forms should be submitted by email, or can be turned in at Friday morning's FNL Orientation at 10:30. A special exception to this deadline can be granted by prearrangement - if you won't be on-site by then, or have an act outside the scope of the Masquerade, please contact the FNL staff via email or stop by the Masquerade orientation Saturday morning and ask for Yippee Coyote. This year we are offering cash prizes for the winning entries as judged by audience ballot: $25, $50 and $100 First Prize. 7. Airbrush Panel Announcement Lance Ikegawa and Eric Yee will be again be demonstrating their skill with the airbrush Sunday at 1PM, and will be looking for a few volunteers to help with the demonstration. If you have any fursuit heads you'd like to see a bit of touching up done on, make sure to bring them to the panel, which will be held just outside of the convention entrance. Have an idea of what you'd like to see, and they will see what they can do to make it a reality. 8.

On Site UPS Store Times We've been able to work some things out with the on site UPS store at the Doubletree.

The Mascot Movie Further Confusion in cooperation with Doug Barber proudly present ... THE MASCOT MOVIE (in full color!) Gather for this one of a kind rare occasion to view what is very possibly the best film to ever be produced about the world of professional and amateur mascotting. Doug Barber came to Further Confusion in 2004 wanting to include the Furry Fandom in part of his documentary. With mild reservation we accepted his offer and from that time never looked back. Doug has done an excellent job of bringing the trials and tribulations of sweating out for the glory of a laugh or brightened day. With narration by Daniel Stern (City Slickers, Home Alone, The Wonder Years) we are transported behind the scenes to what drives us to don the fur, sweat profusely and get taunted by hecklers. While tongue-in-cheek, the serious sides of costuming are played out in a very balanced and enjoyable piece. Doug has offered FurCon exclusive rights to show The Mascot Movie for what may be the last time in a U.S. setting since his trial market at CaliFur. So dont miss out on seeing a piece of Furry History! THE MASCOT MOVIE will be shown on Main Stage ... Saturday January 20th at 4PM just following the world famous Critterlympics! Be sure to plan your day! See you at the movies! 15. Kaffeeklatche Sign-Ups GOH KaffeKlatches.

When I remade and replaced the two canine fangs for my head a few years ago, I sculpted teeth with a root that was essentially a mirror image of the exposed tooth part. I then made a small hole in the foam of the lower jaw, squirted some hot glue into the hole, and inserted the root end into that glue filled hole. The teeth are still in the jaw solidly. David L.

Suits are baggy and hamper movement, and with the bad peripheral vision in most fursuits, zooming skaters might knock into you or cause you to fall. It would probably be harder to get up, and (worst case scenario) if you needed medical attention a suit would def. prove to be a problem! What about going out shopping, or for a walk in a local park? Dress your 'suit up in some running gear and take a mock-jog around your neighborhood? Football/baseball/othersport party? It's fun to even walk around in character for a few hours (go food shopping, if it's okay with the store, getting a coffee, stuff like that) On 1/15/07, David L.

Penguin Plunge, a Special Olympics charity fundraiser that takes place in Middletown, Connecticut - right next to where the first FurFright convention was held. Interact with everyone attending the event, including making some autistic children smile. Takes place on Saturday, March 3rd from about 1030am to 1230pm. More info can be found here: http://community.livejournal.com/fursuit_gigs/27521.html Respond to the post or email me personally if interested. 2. Kids Expo, parade / meet and greet at Poughkeepsie, NY. The main event is the parade on Sunday April 15th, afterwards we interact with the crowds in the Civic Center. If interested, can also participate in meet and greet on saturday the 14th. Meetup for parade begins at 11am. Meet and greet for both days begins around noon until 4 or 5pm. More info can be found here: http://freakylynx.livejournal.com/373813.html This is the second year fursuiters have participated at both events, we were very well received the first year for both events and I'd like to make sure that continues. -Freaky Lynx ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never Miss an Email Stay connected with Yahoo!

This public event will be held at El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument, home of the world famous Olvera Street, the birthplace of the City of Los Angeles, in Downtown Los Angeles. This year the celebration begins at 8:30 AM with children?s activities and various street talent including us crazy fursuiters! For the most part, regular tourists, business folks from downtown, and bussed in school children will be visiting and participating. This year the children?s activities will wrap up around 1:00 PM and unfortunately there will be no afternoon or evening activities as in previous years. We will be roaming around meeting and greeting the children, families, tourists, and merchants plus participating in the parade around 12:00 noon. You can arrive/leave whenever you would like and if you're fursuiting you're welcome to suit up as little or as much as you want - no pressures or requirements! As in the past escorts are very much welcomed to help us fursuiters. If you are interested in participating please notify me privately off-list at dlely at juno.com. For more information about, directions to, and maps of Olvera Street check out: http://www.olvera-street.com/ and http://www.cityofla.org/ELP/. David L. Ely - AKA: Scruff E.

Ok, I am working on a new project and am in need of some help. 1. Can anyone suggest a good, quick disconnect male and female plug to use to hook up a 9.6v OR a 12v dc rechargeable battery to a fan with a switch? Battery size will be determined once I see how each blows and at what rate and how long each lasts. What I have are 2 computer fans, one standard type and one side-blow that Ill be attaching to my suit in 2 different places. Each fan will have its own battery and on/off switch. These will both be attached to a single 1/8th inch thick piece of plastic mesh, with 2 tails running off, one to each fan. This should provide a suitable base to attach them to and to keep things from moving around. So Im in need of an easy, secure way to connect / disconnect the power sources from each fan. Ive seen microphone or audio cable quick connects, the metal tubes with 3 prongs inside and a curly tail headed to each source. Any other ideas? Radio Shack was absolutely no help whatsoever. They have various switches but their staff had no idea when I asked them questions. 2. What gauge wiring should I have going from either the 9.6v or 12v DV batteries to the switch and then to the plug? Currently it looks to be 20 gauge from the batteries. It came preassembled with this wiring, but I just want to be sure before I put a load on it. As for what Im making, you'll just have to wait for AC to find out. But trust me in that, when you see it, you will not believe it. :D Lucky From minnieme4rl at aol.com Fri Feb 9 20:05:44 2007 From: minnieme4rl at aol.com (minnieme4rl at aol.com) Date: Fri, 09 Feb 2007 20:05:44 -0500 Subject: FL: Easter RAGGS gig in Washington D.C.

This is a meet and greet, not a show like most gigs, because they have new suits this year and the only suit that will be ready in time for this gig is Raggs. This will be the White House Easter Egg Roll. If you are interested, or just want more information, contact Jason Priest at jpriest at raggs.com.

RadioShack # 23-445. You can get 9.6v rechargeable battery packs with this connector already attached. Just plug it in and you're done. A major advantage of this connector is that all Radio Shacks sell the R/C batteries with that connector, as well as hobby shops and some toy stores, so you can get replacements no matter where you are. If you go this route, be certain to include a fuse in your setup.

Yeah, that's what I have in mine too, and I run two smallish computer fans, though I don't have a switch, i'ts a very convenient way to wire it up, I think, the way you did it, Blackberry. This pic shows what I used for powering my fans. http://www.foxwolfart.furtopia.org/Foxwolf%20comes%20to%20life/Head%20Construction/head%20const%2028.JPG This link shows how I attached the fans in the suit, on the back of the helmet. http://www.foxwolfart.furtopia.org/Foxwolf%20comes%20to%20life/Head%20Construction/head%20const%2043.JPG Hope that helps. -Foxwolf 9-Tails From abaddoggy at sbcglobal.net Fri Feb 9 21:03:03 2007 From: abaddoggy at sbcglobal.net (Lucky) Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2007 20:03:03 -0600 Subject: FL: DC power questions References: <20070209.012830.-1047149.9.dlely@juno.com><000401c74cac$c597e320$c008fea9@useryhssin5dcv> <6.1.2.0.2.20070209203333.01f47ec0@pop.earthlink.net> Message-ID: <003801c74cb7$99bb65f0$c008fea9@useryhssin5dcv> Yeah I had considered getting the rc packs, but the company i purchased my battery packs from gave me a really great deal on 2 packs for less than the price of one, when they heard what I was making with them. Surprisingly, each battery ended up being roughly the same price as an 8 pack of regular alkaline batteries, only in NiMH. I got 2 sets of 2 batteries. One set is 9.6v NiMH but without a plug attached, wires were end capped. The other set is 12v NiMH, also with the ends capped. Also, this way, at the end of the night, I can just plug them in to the wall and they'll be fully charged by morning. Thanks for the ideas!

And that creates a very hostile environment for electronics. When you sweat you release salts and ureic (sic) acids. The heaver duty R/C plucs might corrode a little but will last in the long run. Plus the wires on them are also heavy duty and can take the stress. No problems with the curren rating here either - you can run about 10 amps through these. Now - With the two pin molex - it is possible to reverse the connections. Done that once and destroyed my eye blinking circuit. With the 9V connectors - I have NEVER found one that was robust enought. After a short time the leads would break and the fan is an essential part of the suit. Hope this helps.

I've had my suits for a lot longer than a short time now. I've had no failure of the 9V connectors. I don't see why they would fail unless you let them hang loose and hang the battery weight on them or something. They shouldn't be expected to fail any more often than any other small gauge wire. The great thing about 12V worth of AAs is that, with two 60mm case fans, I get about 16 hours of continuous run time, plenty for any convention. -- "I guess I like board games more than most people.

I'm hoping to attend AC, Dragoncon or Conifur as I missed FC *whines*. Me and a fellow fur here in Calgary are attempting to set up our second con which piggybacks Conversion (Calgary Science Fiction and Fantasy Society). In addition, we will be incorporating the furry olympics into this event. Conversion is usually held around September. I will keep this list updated. I'm currently working on my second fursuit.....the first can be seen at www.joharasaluki.deviantart.com in the scraps section. The second in still in pieces.

Megaplex 2007 will be held on March 2-4, 2007, at the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverwalk, in Jacksonville, Florida. We're getting closer and closer! Here's the latest news! PRE-REG CLOSING SOON! If you haven't pre-registered for the convention, time is running out! Not only will it be more expensive at the door, but you may miss out on a special premium we're offering our members this year, as a thank you for all of your support. We're going to be handing out special Megaplex 2007 MUGS! These glass mugs are great for your favourite beverage...and, they'll feature a special design by Herbie! However, we'll be judging how many mugs to order by the number of pre-registrations we get. If you pre-reg, you *will* get a mug. If you register at the con, we may or may not have any left...so, if you want to guarantee yourself one of these special keepsakes, pre-reg now! Head to http://ppmp.info/mp06/reg.php and register now! We'll be closing pre-reg on February 19th (the day after Furry Weekend Atlanta ends). T-SHIRTS GALORE! While you're pre-registering, why not grab yourself one of our official Megaplex 2007 t-shirts! The shirts will be light grey, and feature artwork by our guest of honour, Mike Kazaleh! (Visit http://community.livejournal.com/megaplex/28285.html to see the t-shirt art!) T-shirts are only $12 for sizes S-2XL. By pre-ordering, you will guarantee yourself a shirt - and the shirts will be more expensive at the con, as well as available only in limited numbers. We went through our remaining inventory of 2006 shirts in something like five minutes once the extras went on sale - don't miss out this year! LET'S MAKE A DEAL(er's Room)! Also, if you want to get a dealer's room table, you can take care of that when you register, as well! Tables are still available, first come first served, for $40 a table (limit 2). NOTE : If you are registered dealer and have *not* received a message from Carl Fox with important information, please contact him directly on mp-ceo at pawpet.org. ALSO : If you have already pre-registered and want a t-shirt or dealer's table now, contact mp-registration at pawpet.org or mp-ceo at pawpet.org for assistance. We'll make sure you're counted properly! 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! CARE IS BACK... ...and we're happy, as always, to support the fine work they do helping rescue animals in Central Florida. We'll be having our charity auction again this year. If you have items you'd like to donate to help us raise money for C.A.R.E., contact Carl Fox at mp-ceo at pawpet.org. 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...especially with our members at the contestants! Keep an eye on the Events page at http://www.ppmp.info for more details on the specific games, and how you can play! There'll be fursuit-specific games, as well as games for all our members to join in on. It wouldn't be a game show theme without the return of a crowd favourite - the Gong Show! Our annual variety-show-with-a-twist is always entertaining...play along, even if your act isn't that great; sometimes it's better to perform and have been gonged than never to have performed at all! Contact Josh Strom at mp-variety at pawpet.org if you'd like to perform in the show. Whose Line Is It Anyway? Our improvisational stars', that's who...and that could include you! The improv returns for another spin in 2007. Megaplex also welcomes the return of a couple of guys who always keep us in stitches - Uncle Kage, and 2, the Ranting Gryphon will be back for 2007, with their unique stories and comedy. Kage and 2 often test out new material for Anthrocon here first, so come hear what's up! DJ Rory will be with us, as well, spinning the tunes for a fursuit-friendly dance! That's only one of the dances we'll have this year...and (weather permitting) we'll be dancing on outside deck, overlooking the St. Johns River! There'll be mystery amongst the merriment...here's a hint. You'll want to be at the Opening Ceremonies this year... ;) For our fursuiting and puppeteering members, Santa Fox is working those tracks this year. If you enjoy what he has planned at FWA, you'll *love* what we'll be doing at Megaplex! Plus, we'll be bringing back the late-night showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, a smash hit from 2006! (Yes, we're bending the rating a little for this one - badges will be checked at the door, and no minor badges will be admitted.) If you have any other ideas for a panel or event that fits into our theme for 2007, drop John Cole a line at mp-programming 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. HAVE YOU VISITED THE WEBSITE LATELY? 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/ . STAY TUNED! Keep an eye on http://www.ppmp.info/ and http://megaplex.livejournal.com/ for the latest news and information, and please do not hesitate to drop us a line at megaplex-feedback at pawpet.org (or to the chairman directly at mp-ceo at pawpet.org) if you have suggestions or questions regarding the convention.

Something like that is your best bet so you can use RC car battery packs. Their easy to come by and easy to get chargers and the like for.. Make sure you use a fuse in your curcuit, masks get hot and sweaty even with fans in them and the moisture could short something out, shorted out nicads or nimh batterys have a tendency to explode and that would not be good for you at all! I also reconnend using shrink wrap tubing and soldering any wire joints.. I found out early on that the salt from your sweat will corrode the copper in wires.. If Radio Shack doesn't have the connectors you need try your local RC car hobbie shop, such places tend to be a little more expensive than radio shack would be but would definatly have what you need.. As for estimating the time your fan/battery will run, its fairly easy, say you have a 1000mah battery, and a 100ma fan, it'll last up to 10hrs in a perfect world.. My setups usually use two 7.2v batteries in series, gives ya 14.4v to the fans and gives them a little extra oomph... where size is a factor, a 9.6v RC pack is good enough for a single fan, they don't usually have enough of amperage to run two fans for more than a few hours.. There's some pix of the electronics in some of my masks on my web page, fursuits.wereanimal.net. check Keesar and BBW v3, I think there might be some more pix in some of the other ones..

They are also the maximum allowable size for airlines without being charged an oversize fee. Based on my experience, and the experience of other fursuiters I know, ActionPackers tend to end up being opened and searched by TSA more often, but if that's not a concern, then this could be a good choice. Large hardshell suitcase, like the Samsonite - Cruisair 400 Series 29" Spinner Upright Suitcase: http://www.amazon.com/Samsonite-Hardside-Spinner-Luggage-Upright/dp/B000GDNRBU/sr=8-4/qid=1171332621/ref=pd_bbs_4/105-4235962-2852436?ie=UTF8&s=apparel This suitcase has a built-in lock that is TSA approved, moves easily on the wheels and his rigid, so your fursuit is protected. The down side is that it is more expensive, like about $160 or so, but I've been quite happy with mine. There are probably quite a few other options in suitcases too. Hope this helps. J. A.

The first was one of those things that college kids have, though a little larger. The brass edging is gone or bent in places and the top and bottom have been pushed in. Another trunk, though smaller, had the plastic and metal edging in places ripped off. They're retired... The Container Store and Walmart should have those black plastic wheeled trunks. Mine had the wheels ripped off on the first flight. http://www.containerstore.com/ They should have those metal trunks. Let's see them gorillas try to demolish *THOSE!* You still have to make sure you're under the measurement and weight limits, otherwise you're going to be nailed by expensive fees. Then again, someone, I think Yappy, mentioned that he paid a skycap to bypass those limits. Check the airline pages for that info. I keep a small handcart in my trunks. It's pretty funny to see some people get jealous looks when I fold up mine and stick it in there. There should be some more on this in the fursuit Wiki/FAQ like what to expect and what can be used. -boogi- (back to working on reports and assignments for classes...) -- 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?

Some like to draw the air into the mask by having the fans blow out but keep in mind, it's most likely going to draw the air from under the mask, right over your warm body, warming the air some.. in my fursuit 101 sigs I give at AC I always tell everyone to use whatever works best for you.. there's really no wrong way to add colling to your mask, cept to not have any at all.. even one small fan can let you spend hours longer in suit from the reilef it brings..

I've taken an alternative approach. Most fursuit bits (body, hand and foot paws, tail, undersuit) are typically no more delicate than everyday clothes. Often the head is the only issue. I bought a sturdy plastic box just big enough for the head and pack this in an ordinary holdall surrounding it with all the soft parts of the suit and other clothes. I suspect that airline baggage handlers treat hard shell cases and boxes as a personal challenge to see what damage _can_ be done to them. As for closures, rather than cable ties, and having to pack more cable ties inside with instructions for the inspectors to re-use them, I take another low-tech approach: string - its re-usable! No trouble at all on my recent trans-atlantic trip to FC.

And since it looks like a normal suitcase, I've noticed it is often not fondled by TSA, and if it is opened, they generally know how to re-close it.. and they are eaiser to pull through the airport even 2 of them, which is what I have. Action packers were just too cumbersome to fly with alot.. I put wheels on one of my action packers to make it a lil biit easier to move around in the airport. They always wanted to double take and charge extra for them, until you proved they were in size, and often they made me sign a waiver that stated since they were not actual suitcases that they took -NO- responsibility on damages. TSA almost always opened them, and since they are designed for pad locks, if the TSA does not correctly put tie wraps back into them correctly after opening them (They tend to put them just on the padlock eylet, which since the padlock body is used to hold the red handles shut, and the tie wraps don't, I've had the horror experience of watching my action packer come up on the baggage clain without a lid, and drenched in rain since it was raining outside on the tarmac, and the lid come up a few pieces later. Nothing makes your heart stop like seeing your expensive costume strewn all about the airport, and if you signed that waiver.. they tell you tough s**t.

Most hotels will accept and hold packages shipped if the room is in your name. You will need to call the concierge desk, first, to make arrangements. (I've done this when shipping presentation materials for a conference) If the room is not in your name, you will need to jump through some hoops, namely contacting the person signing for the room and asking them to accept delivery of your package. They can then contact the Hotel. And finally, if you know someone that is planning on to the Con and is willing to add your suit to their luggage, simply ship the suit to them. None of these help you right now. Best of luck with packing the suit with your checked luggage and have a good time at FWA.

I shipped 2 boxes of fursuits to FC. Going there they cost me $30 each, insured for $1500 each. To ship them out via the UPS store in the hotel.. $90 each. Painful experience. The hotel last year had done my shipping for me (I don't know if they still offered the service, since I was told there was a UPS store..) but last year they were only like $50 each to return.. So beware of the UPS store x.x But shipping them, if you have some direct way to bill to UPS or FEDEX ground, definetly makes it easier than the hassel of dragging them through the airport.

The snare drum cases in our band look to be the perfect size for the average fursuit head but I'm sure there are plenty of different choices as far as sizes and price ranges out there at marching band / music stores. I bet you can get them with wheels on the bottom and fur sure they are darn near indestructible -you'd just want to rig up the inside for a custom fit.

Least with the airports it's out of my sight for the least duration possible, little harder to cary but most airports it's just a short distance form the luggage area to the door. I;ve flown a few times with my action packers, opened twice, but i taped them no tie wraps. and they always came back in one peice. The last tiem however, they opened it for inspection, it didn't make the same flight as me, so it arrived by currier the next day, now that was scary...esepecially as it has peices from BOTH suits in it as well as my sketch book. So if you have multipel suits, watch how you pack them. What may fit better, may cost you more in the long run should somthing happen. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yappy Sly Fox" To: Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 10:06 AM Subject: Re: FL: Airline Travel with Fursuit > > Costly is an understatement.

From my experience with RAGGS, which requires dancing in suit on an outside stage (and I have done shows in 90-100 degree weather), I felt like I couldn't breathe and was about to pass out (even though I didn't).  So whether it be my own suit or a company suit I perform in, it's now always BYOF (bring your own fans).  I just duct tape them inside the head.  They stay in place and once removed, there's no evidence there was ever a fan there.  At FC just last month, having the fans allowed me to be in suit at the fursuit dance for about two hours.

P.S.  It's ironic that I'm even a fursuiter (and those who know me personally know how much suiting I do), because I normally hate being hot.  I kick off the covers at night, and have the AC or fan on full blast.  Glacier Tek inserts (www.glaciertek.com or www.coolvest.com) are another "must have" for fursuiting.

I have 2 fans - one pushing air in from the muzzle and the other sucking the
hot air out above the ear.

The muzzle fan is a 2.5cm (1 inch) laptop fan and that keeps a constant
breeze of cooler air on my face, plus it helps dispell any CO2 buildup
around the mouth and nostrils.

The other fan is a 40cm (1.75? inch) VGA cooler fan and that does a good job
of getting the hot air out.

The CO2 aspect is pretty important. Any build up of that and you start to
feel cramped, claustrofobic, and stressed.  Thats why when I am putting fans
in I make sure that the user is the first place the air is getting to.

I have done several fan retrofits on various suits now and I have not had
any problems.

The UPS store at the hotel charged me $22 +tax for a 24"x24"x24" empty box. Then they quoted me $77 for ground shipping with $600 insurance. FEDEX had a box for $10.50 and shipping for $40 with the same insurance. I already bought the box but I saved big on the shipping. Also, the UPS web site quoted the same price on the shipping so the UPS store doesn't have a shipping markup, and the FEDEX store had the same price as the website. How to get to the nearest FEDEX store? Go to the end of the FC hotel overflow parking lot. You know where the white gates are? The FEDEX drop off center is in the building at that end of the parking lot. Next year if you need to ship something, take the walk over to FEDEX.

Aug 2007] Feb Newsletter Message-ID: FA: United! www.faunited.org Register online for FA: United! Attending membership is only $30! The furry convention is taking place from August 10-12, 2007 at the Ramada Inn Newark International Airport hotel, A Wyndham Worldwide Hotel, in Newark, New Jersey! In This Issue: 1. In Which a Charity is Revealed 2. If Our Rap's Soup, Our Beats is Stock 3. Like Mardi Gras, Only Less Mardi (And More Gras) 4. Our Mailing List Makes You Sexy and Attractive[*] -----=====----- 1. In Which a Charity is Revealed One of our goals at FA United is to keep in touch with our local community, and in that spirit we set out to find a local animal-based charity to sponsor at our event. We wanted a charity where donations would have an effect right here in our back yard, and where the money could benefit the animals directly without getting caught up in administrative overhead. We are pleased to announce the Lakota Wolf Preserve as our charity for FA United 2007. Located near the Delaware Water Gap in Columbia, NJ, the Lakota Wolf Preserve is home to 24 wolves, as well as two foxes and three bobcats. The money you donate will go to the care and feeding of the animals, as well as maintaining their habitat. How can you help support this charity? The easiest (and most fun!) way is to participate in our Charity Raffle, either by donating items for others to bid on, or by bidding on items yourself. Raffle tickets will be $1 each, or 6 for $5, and 100% of the proceeds from the raffle will be donated to Lakota Wolf. (If you'd like to donate any items for the raffle, send an email to faunited at faunited.org to let us know what you've got.) Lakota will also have merchandise for sale in our Dealer Room, including the option to sponsor a wolf. A $25 donation gets you an invitation to their observation area, a photo magnet of your wolf, and their quarterly newsletter. For $45 you'll get a second visit and a Sponsors-only t-shirt. And for $100, you get a third visit and a framed 5x7 print of your lucky lupine. -----=====----- 2. If Our Rap's Soup, Our Beats is Stock What's the only thing better than having a DJ rock the house all night long? How about having *four* of them, plus some live bands? That's what we thought. Friday night's party bring us three incredible international furry DJs. How incredible, you ask? So incredible that our lawyers have advised us not to re lease their names, for fear of being mobbed by crazed fanboys who just can't wait for August before they start partying! (Ok, that's a lie. They're not really lawyers, they're the night crew at IHOP. But one of them says his uncle's a lawyer.) On Saturday, only one word can describe what we have in store, and that word is "live entertainment." (Yes, that's one word. Trust us.) We've got a pair of furry bands opening up, followed by one of Brooklyn's best acts, The Gay Blades, who we are told are not actually gay, and do not actually slay vampires, though we have been asked to keep them away from garlic. To top everything off, we'll be bringing in another DJ to keep the party going well into the night. And hey, let's admit it -- what's a furcon party without some, er... 'adult beverages,' right? Well you'll be happy to find a cash bar open through the whole show each night, serving up name-brand liquors and a decent selection of beers. Of course, you'll need to prove you're over 21 to the bartender, so make sure you bring your ID. -----=====----- 3. Like Mardi Gras, Only Less Mardi (And More Gras) That's right, a furcon just isn't a furcon without a Masquerade! For the uninitiated, it's a bit like a high school talent show, only less school (and maybe a little more high). Who wouldn't want to be a part of that? Not you, that's who... wouldn't... not want to... wait, let's try that again. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that? Only the lame, the square, and the fundamentally un-hip, that's who. Surely you aren't any of that...right? So, show us what you've got! Send us your idea for a talent you'd like to show off or a skit you'd like to perform, and we might just give you your 15 minutes of fame. Write to us at faunited at faunited.org and tell us all about it. Then when you're good and famous you can go rub it in your high school guidance counsellor's face for suggesting 'animal husbandry' as your ideal career field. What's that? Animal husbandry *is* your...you know what? Just don't use that in your masquerade act, and you'll be fine. We promise. -----=====----- 4.

Here's what I invented on my own: - After the head shape is finished, I then put down a thin layer of batting over the plastic mesh and foam rubber (actually, I use floor heat register filter pads) which provides that soft give of real flesh just before the firmer foam underneath (and it covers any plastic mesh and any lumps in the foam). I attach that to the foam rubber using Super 77 and let it dry completely for a few days. - Then, I start attaching the fur to that batting layer, again using Super 77. I take care to (a) fit the fur pieces in place first, (b) spray only the batting, never the fur, and (c) ventilate, ventilate, ventilate. If I get the glue too thick on the batting, I let it dry first before I come back and try again. Otherwise, pressing the fur down to the thick glue can cause the glue to come up through the fur fabric and glue the fur together. -- "I guess I like board games more than most people.

Here's what I invented on my own: - After the head shape is finished, I then put down a thin layer of batting over the plastic mesh and foam rubber (actually, I use floor heat register filter pads) which provides that soft give of real flesh just before the firmer foam underneath (and it covers any plastic mesh and any lumps in the foam). I attach that to the foam rubber using Super 77 and let it dry completely for a few days. - Then, I start attaching the fur to that batting layer, again using Super 77. I take care to (a) fit the fur pieces in place first, (b) spray only the batting, never the fur, and (c) ventilate, ventilate, ventilate. If I get the glue too thick on the batting, I let it dry first before I come back and try again. Otherwise, pressing the fur down to the thick glue can cause the glue to come up through the fur fabric and glue the fur together. -- "I guess I like board games more than most people.

I should know, as I used to work at a Hancock Fabrics awhile ago. But beware that some other fabric places can be hit or miss. Another person mentioned doing the 'grand tour' of most of the fabric stores in your city. Strangely enough, though it doesn't often happen, you may find some at thrifts/resales. Funnily enough, I remarked to someone that complained that the lab at their workplace is cold enough to wear winter jackets in that I could make them a furry jumpsuit. What did they say? "Make one!" Make one I will... Attached paws, etc... I wonder what the coworkers will say. *evyl laff* -boogi- [heading back to the books, getting ready for midterms] -- 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?

Made by a fan for fursuiters and fans, the show also uses an irc channel for viewers to join and talk about what they see and exchange experiences and ideas, and it usually brings quite a few nice talks amongs fans :) So even if the show is available for download shortly after the airing, don't be lazy and join the fun in the IRC channel, it's one of the main goal of the show to bring fursuiters and fans together for a friendly talk about their favorite subjects that the show will bring in their mind. :) So for those interested, tune in next saturday, and spread the word ! :) The more to watch and join on IRC the more fun :) See the webpage for all the details :) Until then if you have questions or remarks don't hesitate to ask me, and feel free to connect to the test loop running, so that you have your player ready for saturday :) From snglspdcat at gmail.com Tue Feb 27 09:50:42 2007 From: snglspdcat at gmail.com (single speed cheeta) Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2007 09:50:42 -0500 Subject: FL: FursuitTV - 1st anniversary this saturday In-Reply-To: <20070227135449.F39867@j3.timduru.org> References: <20070227135449.F39867@j3.timduru.org> Message-ID: One year?

I use a simple but very effective method of a condensed foam that can be bought at any craft store Its called Craft Foam and comes in sheets and in almost any color and can with stand allot of abuse. Its pliable, shapable and can be hot glued to anything because the glue will cause part of it to melt and bond to the item being glued. OmenVixen.

Since I am really only going to have one suit for quite some time I thought I might go by my new fursuit character's name, "Scape".

Most everything covered there has been covered on the list and elsewhere, but it's still cool to see a video of creation methods in action by a larger-scale company. By the way, for those who missed it, it focuses on the creation of this guy, sans bib: http://preview.tinyurl.com/2ptwww The feature was restricted to a few minutes, so it focused more on head & foot creation. Head was carved from several sheets of soft foam, and foot seemed to be carved from a single block of it. (Toe claws were later attached via sewing.) It also made light mention of pattern making and sewing of the body and hands. The clip also features fleece as a fabric of choice. (Which is good stuff. Having worked with it, its strechiness allows it to show foam details and grooves pretty well.) [ Only thing is, did they really add any way for the costume head to attach to the performer's head? ] Anyway, to Rapid T. -- thanks for letting us know about it! - C.

I'm sure you know of the first which is to fork over a palletload to National Fiber Technologies. The second may sound weird. You can use wigs. Yes, wigs. It's been done before on a Wookiee suit. There was a German page that showed how it was done. It came out pretty nicely. Anyone know the URL to that page? I used hair from Sally Beauty Supply for a horsetail one time. For the headpiece for the mane, I cut up a wig. Others have used wigs for long fur/hair on the head and other places as needed. Here's one page that shows how they did it; http://www.stripedsmiles.com/ The fursuit FAQ/wiki and a few other searches around the net will locate more pages that can help. The good thing about wigs is that if you do it right, you can easily replace the area that's wearing out. -boogi- [diving back into classwork after spring break] -- 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?

It's easy to work with and cheap! The only down side I have had with hot glue is removing it once it's dry .. it a real pain - the easiest way I've found to remove fur from hot glued items is to re-heat the hot glue using the hot glue gun without any glue. I've also hand-sewn some parts of the fur to the head - that would probably be the prefered method - but it's extremely time consuming and you would been some basic sewing skills. I've also seen people velco fur to heads - with the added benefit of removing the fur from a fursuit skull to wash it.

An exact date and location has yet to be determined. I would like to get an idea of the following before deciding on a place and date: Who is interested in attending? Are there conflicting furry gatherings happening in May/June? Duckpin or Ten Pin? Duckpin has small balls/pins. Ten Pin is standard bowling fare. If your interested please send a private email to wallyfox98 at hotmail.com Last year we bowled at Johnson's Duckpin Lanes in Hamden, CT. We left a good impression on the owners and we are welcome back. Changing space was tight as we were limited to the bathrooms and a small storage area. I am going to look at some other facilities in the area. There are only a handful of suitable duckpin alleys in the state. If the group is very large we may have to do ten pin. snugs Wally_Wabbit ICQ=86653793 Wally_Wabbit on Furrymuck and Tapestries Wally_Wabbit on IRC/Yiffnet/Anthrochat wallyfox2001 on yahoo messenger http://www.livejournal.com/users/wally_wabbit/ _________________________________________________________________ Live Search Maps ? find all the local information you need, right when you need it. http://maps.live.com/?icid=hmtag2&FORM=MGAC01 From dia at critter.net Thu Mar 29 12:22:47 2007 From: dia at critter.net (dia at critter.net) Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2007 11:22:47 -0500 (CDT) Subject: FL: Yard totals - Clarification In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4647.67.155.111.199.1175185367.squirrel@secure.critter.net> Hi guys, you DO have to be careful anyhow.

FA:United: Profiles: 0J - Having been involved in computers most of his life, it's no surprise that 0J (a.k.a. Keith) has experimented with many things digital. From web design to game design he's toyed with it all. But when he started dabbling in remix production many years ago, he knew where he would come to settle. Since 0J has started, he's gone from producing tracks to throwing himself center stage, DJing for many events since early '05. Illuminated by the glow of his monitor, he will rock the dance floor with his bass, filters, and grooves. Trust me, it's catchy, you'll like it. ~Shy Matsi FA: United!

Message-ID: That's right. In Vegas terms 7 come 11 is a natural win in Craps! That's what this year's MFM is going to be...a WINNER! Elvis did Viva Las Vegas, so why can't we! Skunky Scuttlebutt Labor Day Weekend 2007 Guest of Honor: Writer - Jim Lane With Special Guest in Concert: Sub-level 03 There are ONLY 136 Days Remaining before Tyger Opens MFM 11 with these words "Welcome Home". That's right, we are quickly approaching the start of Mephit FurMeet 2007, the place so many of us now call home. Make your plans now to attend one of the BEST gatherings in the furry community. --=={ New and improved website!! }==-- Through the hard work of Rama and Red Card we have a newly designed MFM website this year with lots of new features. Check out everything that's going on over there! http://www.mephitfurmeet.org --=={ Hotel Reservation Info, Rooms Going Fast! }==-- We will once again be in the Holiday Inn Select Memphis Airport, located at 2240 Democrat Road, Memphis TN 38132-1807. The special Mephit Fur Meet rate is $99 per night for 1-4 people in the room. Rooms are available with one king size bed or 2 double beds and your choice of either smoking or nonsmoking. The layout of the hotel is perfect for MFM with the main level being on the 3rd floor of the hotel allowing everyone to be either on the main level or not more than 2 floors up or down. So it makes getting to panels, socializing in the Garden Court (a huge atrium area of the hotel) or fursuiting a breeze. You can book your room online at: http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/sl/1/en/cwshome/DPRD-6X4LWC/MEMDR/website/ or Call 800-653-6524 or email mfmdirector at hotmail.com to make your reservation!

(remember we had a total staff change just a few weeks before the con!) --=={ Celebrating Life }==-- Each and every one of us has a lot to be thankful for in our lives. We have friends, mentors, partners, spouses, animal companions that we see every day or that have gone on to better places. This year at MFM we will, though our Spirituality Track have something special to remember those that are important to us. While not something that everyone has to participate in, this will give those that want to, a chance to remember the happy times. A chance to say thank you for those special influences in our lives.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Hi folks, Finished my panther mascot last week after spending the last 9 weekends on him, will put pics up next week!!!! Head was made with 20mm PE45. Took a pattern of a small horse riding helmet and made the harness to that pattern using EVA30 an braced it to the head shell using 40mm PE 45. Just that took me a day and a bit, remember this stuff is pretty ridgid getting the angles right was job in itself. I took a pattern of one side of the head and hand sewed each section and pulled it over like a sock. when the fur was on, I then cut the ear holes out of the fur, likewise with the eyes. I left pins around the lines of where I marked the positions so I couild feel where i Was. I also furred the ears FIRST before I attatched them to the main shell. Is this wise??? worked out well, but still not happy. Can someone please share how to go about furring heads in detail. Might souns silly but to you pro's out there, is there a huge difference between Small heads and big mascot heads in construction??? The reason I say this is I've pulled my hair out trying to come up with a decent head harness system for large heads and HOW to mount them inside with success!!! Dont follow me, I'm lost too :) Luke from South Austraila. _________________________________________________________________ Advertisement: Its simple!

I won't be able to sell it right away anyways and with the prospect last night of wrapping up a bunch of projects before summer there may be a chance I might still use it.

I will be posting a final reminder on Weds or Thursday. We are meeting for Fursuit/Furry bowling on Saturday 5/19 @1pm at Johnson's Duckpin Lanes in Hamden, CT. All are welcome to attend NO FURSUIT NEEDED TO ATTEND . We have a total of 4 lanes and can get more if needed. If you are planning to attend please email me and let me know if you are bowling in or out of suit. I would like to know ASAP so I can give the alley a strong estimate a couple days prior. So far it looks like about 10 are attending. Bowling is going to be $8 per hour. Shoes are extra if needed (Most suiters will not need shoes). If We get over 20 bowlers they will cut the price. If folks need transportation from the RR station I can make arrangements. I also have some crash space here if needed (need advance notice).

What I ended up doing is making what I call a jaw opener, which is bent from 6 gauge wire, fits under my chin, with 2 blunt prongs that come out away from my mouth a couple inches. The thing is held in place with elastic strips directly to the top and back of my head. Basically, when my mouth opens, the prongs go down because of the movement of my chin. The foam head then goes on, and the prongs are hidden under some red felt of the head's inner jaw. (The jaw and head are all one piece, but the point of attachment is very minimal, so that the jaw part flops down easily when just a little force is exerted.) So then, theoretically, when I move my jaw, the foam head moves its jaw. The thing is, I never got it working quite as good as I'd imagined. Even at best, I had to greatly accentuate my jaw movements to get the Jarrell head to move casually. The longer I have the foam head on, the more sweat, and so the more slippage, so that my own jaw movement is wasted on the inner sides of the foam head, instead of specifically on the jaw. What I have, almost, kinda works, but I'd want to do more experimenting and perfect the idea before I ever wanted to try a Jarrell version 2. I too like a moveable jaw because my character is not mute. Jarrell -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Put the bodysuit on inside-out. Then adjust the safety pins in or out until you get the fit you want. As for the head... there's at least two ways to do it.

Since I use a serger than a sewing machine. I sew the front parts together. Then the back parts together. Then I sew the back to the front. Then I put it on and adjust for size. Since the serger cuts and sews at the same time its easyer that way. > > As for the head... there's at least two ways to do it. A lot of fursuiters > put a flap on the head as you're describing.

It gives a better look and the seam between the head and body suit is not as easy to see acrost a room. When you turn your head you dont see a big flap of materal moving with your head.

I'll strongly second the 'turtleneck' idea - when I rebuilt my Santa Fox suit last year, I switched from the flap design to the turtleneck design and I'd never go back now. It's especially nice if you want to wear *anything* around your neck, since removing your head won't involve having to remove and replace any items around your neck, as would be the case with a flap design. Since I always wear a bell collar with my fox costume, not to mention normal badges and such, no longer having the neck flaps makes a huge difference when I'm playing fursuit games or doing other high-energy activites and want to duck in somewhere and take a quick break.

I usually handsew, but when it comes to zippers, I'll machine sew.

Safety-pin > the entire front to the back where you plan to sew. Put the bodysuit on What I've done is make my own pattern from someone's duct tape dummy and use muslin for the bodysuit mockup. That way I can see how well it'll fit and where the problems may be including zipper placement and fix them for the second mockup which can fit and look better than the first. This will also have markings as to how much extra to add on or take off and seam allowances. It's all held together by large safety pins. Sure, it takes time, but is worth it and muslin's quite cheap and you can reuse it as your pattern. When I transfer the pattern to the fur, I'll use chalk and mark what piece is what and where the lay of the fur goes. I'll usually add on the "turtleneck" part after the bodysuit is finished, adding on a spot of velcro for closing. Jarrell's suit had extra on the head, so even if he tucked it in or not, he'd still look good. The zipper was one of those jacket type of things so he could put on the tail and then the bodysuit. -boogi- [getting ready to take a summer class] -- 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'd say anything over 1/2" pile, you should maybe goto a 1" seam allowance. Seam allowance is also dependant on how tightly woven or loose your fabric is. If you're sewning something like muslin, it's a loose woven fabric - 5/8" would do fine, but I'd say nothing less than that. If you're doing a standard cotton, or cotton blend, you can go down to as little as 1/4" or less, but not recommended because the seam might break. You wanta give room enough for the fabric to stretch a little bit and not break or rip seams. :) maybe that was a little too detailed .. sorry! Have fun! (Sewning neoprene is a pain in the butt! I'm doing a custom zipper replacement - it's prolly the hardest thing I've ever sewed for my orca wetsuit/"fursuit" it doesn't fit in a sewning machine.) ~Kody Wolf fursuit-list-request at lists.fursuit.org wrote: Send Fursuit-list mailing list submissions to fursuit-list at lists.fursuit.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.fursuit.org/mailman/listinfo/fursuit-list or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to fursuit-list-request at lists.fursuit.org You can reach the person managing the list at fursuit-list-owner at lists.fursuit.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Fursuit-list digest..."

If you can get a Teflon zipper foot they take away all the problems and sewing should not be a problem. As for seam allowance we serge all pieces first then do a double seam as close to the edge as possible works great. If it is fur then brush out the seams when you are done with a wire brush. good luck.

I'd say anything over 1/2" pile, you should maybe goto a 1" seam allowance. Seam allowance is also dependant on how tightly woven or loose your fabric is. If you're sewning something like muslin, it's a loose woven fabric - 5/8" would do fine, but I'd say nothing less than that. If you're doing a standard cotton, or cotton blend, you can go down to as little as 1/4" or less, but not recommended because the seam might break. You wanta give room enough for the fabric to stretch a little bit and not break or rip seams. :) maybe that was a little too detailed .. sorry! Have fun! (Sewning neoprene is a pain in the butt! I'm doing a custom zipper replacement - it's prolly the hardest thing I've ever sewed for my orca wetsuit/"fursuit" it doesn't fit in a sewning machine.) ~Kody Wolf fursuit-list-request at lists.fursuit.org wrote: Send Fursuit-list mailing list submissions to fursuit-list at lists.fursuit.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.fursuit.org/mailman/listinfo/fursuit-list or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to fursuit-list-request at lists.fursuit.org You can reach the person managing the list at fursuit-list-owner at lists.fursuit.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Fursuit-list digest..."

Just curious cuz I'm about to start sewing the jumpsuit part. Thanks for any help you might have! Oh shoot -almost forgot -any tips on the fabric part that extends from the head? I still haven't furred the head yet but will soon. Curious how that part works -from photos it appears to be just matching fabric that kinda drapes down to blend with the suit body - is there any magic length to it?

To: fursuit-list at lists.fursuit.org Message-ID: <6.1.2.0.2.20070531141121.01caf010 at pop.earthlink.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed 5/8" seam allowance is the standard for commercial patterns. If you're making your own patterns, you can use whatever you want. Personally, I stick with the standard 5/8". If you're using a commercial pattern, here's a hint -- sew all the front pieces together first. Then sew all the back pieces together. Safety-pin the entire front to the back where you plan to sew. Put the bodysuit on inside-out. Then adjust the safety pins in or out until you get the fit you want. As for the head... there's at least two ways to do it. A lot of fursuiters put a flap on the head as you're describing. Some tuck it in, others don't. But depending on the type of head you have, you can put a "turtleneck" on the bodysuit instead. It blends better than a not-tucked-in flap and length isn't an issue either. -- TJCoyote ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your own web address.

BUT. Add a 2mm zigzag right along side if you don?t have a serger dedicated to pile fabrics. This is insurance against wear and tear at the seams. I like to use a walking foot machine by Thompson, to sew any thing that ?sticks? to the machine, is more than ?? thick, or likes to slide on you when you sew with a regular machine. It?s good for leather, vinyl, canvas, thick fur, and that pesky neoprene. You can get a rolling foot for most machines that can help with shifting layers. Also use some thin paper strips along fabric to ease the sewing along. Just put the paper strips on seam line on top and underneath and it will help get the job through the machine. Newspaper print, tissue paper, or whatever is handy. You can leave the paper if it is really thin or just rip it off along perforations made by the stitching. (Sewing neoprene is a pain in the butt!

I have not had any tearing issues. Of course, I suppose it depends on the quality of the fur. I've seen some furs with a very thin, light backing, and can imagine it fraying. My latest fursuit has a rather heavy backing and some 2-way stretch to it, which helps in distributing the stress. J. A. Michel Brassard - a.k.a.

By that, I mean I have been an elf, a giraffe, a moose, T-Rex and a character for a major hamburger chain. I am presently a character for a major cereal company. Once I am in costume, I am not allowed to speak. Adults and older children think nothing of hitting me, kicking me, pulling at parts of my costume, and trying to knock me down. One 12-year-old even tried to "head butt" me while his father looked on and encouraged him! I am in costume for about an hour or so before I can take breaks. It gets hot and sweaty inside these costumes. I have a limited field of vision and can't see many of the oncoming attacks. Even if I saw each one, I would not be able to say anything to stop or deflect these random attacks. What I do is have a paid "helper" walk beside me. This is now discouraging such actions by adults and children. I would ask parents to please remember that there are real people inside these costumes, which are not heavily padded. I feel each and every hit and kick as if I were wearing street clothes. Thanks for printing this. -- H.S. IN COLORADO DEAR H.S.: You have my sympathy, and I am seconding your request. That a parent would encourage such poor behavior incenses me. You should not have had to hire a "bodyguard" to protect you. I find it interesting, however, that the children who are acting out against you do not regard you as another human being. It seems they have mistaken you for the same kind of cartoon character they see on television -- probably too much television -- against whom violence is committed with no repercussions. (I'm reminded of the "Mr. Bill" character that was once featured on "Saturday Night Live.") One of my assistants, who has occasionally dressed as a chimp in her work as a docent at the L.A. Zoo, tells me that this is one of the hazards in your line of work. Call me humorless, but to me, assault and battery are criminal behaviors -- and if someone I cared about were subjected to it, I would be very concerned. -------------------- -- Kaa ."``"._.""-.

One 12-year-old even tried to > "head butt" me while his father looked on and encouraged him! I'm just curious about something - how many performers here have run into children and adults this rowdy on more than a rare occasion? I ask because I've done well over a hundred costume character appearances (most of them with my own personal costumes, though four have been well-known mascot character gigs), and I've only twice encountered anyone close to that bad, and one of those times it was an adult egging on his teenage son to hit me, but fortunately the son wouldn't do it (smart boy ;-). I've had kids tug on my tail and back rather hard a few times, and I've had kids try to pull off my gloves on maybe two occasions. I've even lost my balance a few times due to overeager kids rushing to hug me. But, I've never been kicked, hit, punched, or purposely knocked over in all that time, and I know I've logged hundreds of hours in suit. So I have to wonder if I'm not merely having a really good streak of luck, or if getting assaulted can have something to do with the kind of costume you're wearing and the way you handle the kids and adults. That is, I've never been in a really cheesy costume, which I'd suspect would draw a lot of negative attention that could turn into beating up the character. I also find that I'm very good at letting things slide off my back and staying cheerful and playful even if there are some kids around who want to be a little rough. I learned from growing up as the smallest kid in my classes and from having a speech impediment to boot that reacting negatively and retaliating only encourages the bullies. So, I try not to ever get defensive when I'm in costume, but rather to react in terms of my character and with a positive or comical spin. I be a little rowdy with the kids, rather than trying to discourage them, and I think that many times that helps them to see you as a friend, rathe r than to want to bully you around. What do you think - can problems like this in many cases be at least the partial fault of the performer not handling the audience the right way? I'm sure there's going to be bad audience members occasionally, and I'll admit, I could sadly see these kinds of problems happening more at theme parks or sports venues, neither of which I have ever worked. But, I have worked a number of relatively large local festivals and community events, and I would expect to see somewhat similar behavior at them and yet I haven't. And, of course, I'm certainly not saying that it's okay for anyone to beat up a bad performer (although there's a certain irony in that statement ;-) - I'm just wondering if it could be true that an experienced, well trained performer could have remarkably fewer incidents than a poorly trained, inexperienced performer.

I attend a ton of kids' events, and you can always tell when they hired some schmoe for minimum wage with no experience. There is absolutely NO excuse for acting violently towards the characters, or encouraging your kids to do so... but I do think that like any bully situation, a lot of it could be avoided, if the character is enough of a character to play along and communicate well with body language. Any time you're performing for children, whether it's in a costume or not, you should have at least some basic understanding of child psychology, and recognise when you are encouraging behaviors with your reactions, and how you can safely discourage behaviors with your actions.

I've seen our mascots take breaks and complain that kids have yanked so hard on their tails that their backs are hurting... I've never seen anyone complain about being punched or kicked, but, it's a fairly common occurrence of having them tackled in a mob mentality. Even with experience adults as escorts, and, veteran performers in the suits, it's happened. And, I don't always think it's a case of being tackled on purpose... Kids have become overanxious in their hugging a character, and, there comes a point where they've just plain become overburdened by the numbers of kids hanging off of them. But, then again, most of performers are also veteran athletes (a prerequisite to perform with our team) so a lot of the violence is possibly brushed off. Although the interesting thing is... We have a couple of young kids that suit with us as well (12 or 13 years old) and very talented I might add, and the kids never seem to pick on them... I'm thinking because they are the same size!

I ask because I've done well over a hundred costume character appearances (most of them with my own personal costumes, though four have been well-known mascot character gigs), and I've only twice encountered anyone close to that bad, and one of those times it was an adult egging on his teenage son to hit me, but fortunately the son wouldn't do it (smart boy ;-). I've had kids tug on my tail and back rather hard a few times, and I've had kids try to pull off my gloves on maybe two occasions. I've even lost my balance a few times due to overeager kids rushing to hug me. But, I've never been kicked, hit, punched, or purposely knocked over in all that time, and I know I've logged hundreds of hours in suit.> > So I have to wonder if I'm not merely having a really good streak of luck, or if getting assaulted can have something to do with the kind of costume you're wearing and the way you handle the kids and adults. That is, I've never been in a really cheesy costume, which I'd suspect would draw a lot of negative attention that could turn into beating up the character. I also find that I'm very good at letting things slide off my back and staying cheerful and playful even if there are some kids around who want to be a little rough. I learned from growing up as the smallest kid in my classes and from having a speech impediment to boot that reacting negatively and retaliating only encourages the bullies. So, I try not to ever get defensive when I'm in costume, but rather to react in terms of my character and with a positive or comical spin. I be a little rowdy with the kids, rather than trying to discourage them, and I think that many times that helps them to see you as a friend,> rathe> r than to want to bully you around.> > What do you think - can problems like this in many cases be at least the partial fault of the performer not handling the audience the right way? I'm sure there's going to be bad audience members occasionally, and I'll admit, I could sadly see these kinds of problems happening more at theme parks or sports venues, neither of which I have ever worked. But, I have worked a number of relatively large local festivals and community events, and I would expect to see somewhat similar behavior at them and yet I haven't.> > And, of course, I'm certainly not saying that it's okay for anyone to beat up a bad performer (although there's a certain irony in that statement ;-) - I'm just wondering if it could be true that an experienced, well trained performer could have remarkably fewer incidents than a poorly trained, inexperienced performer.> > Cheers,> Santa Fox> > --> Santa Fox's Den - http://santafox.home.comcast.net/> _______________________________________________> _______________________________________________> Fursuit Mail list.> To edit your subscription, visit: http://lists.fursuit.org/mailman/listinfo/fursuit-list _________________________________________________________________ Make every IM count.

Because in my experience, I've had kids attack me while I'm in suit while the parents laugh or really don't care one way or another. They have no idea what it's like in a suit or even understand that their little kids actions may damage a fairly expensive costume, to them you're just a target or someone who 'should' be able to take the punishment because of your cartoony appearance - just as the Dear Abby letter mentioned, you aren't recognized as human while in costume, more like a punching bag with a cute face. And to reiterate the point, it can get worse when kids turn into teenagers or young adults - people who you can't even use the excuse 'they don't know any better.' They will attack you as a show of machismo, for no other reason than they can get away with it.. I know of some fursuiters who will not perform in public without wearing a cup, that's based on real experience. And whenever I have a costume with a tail, it tends to get pulled - sometimes very hard. It's tough thing to go through if you're ever separated and surrounded by rowdy people. If you're set on remaining in character - you can't get out of suit, you can't call for help, you can't hit back, and getting back to a safe area leaves you open for attacks - believe me, I've been through it and I know other experienced performers who have been through it. Good performance skills will not prevent anyone from going through that experience - that sort of reasoning that it's the performer's fault should never be used, they're doing a lot just by getting into suit. -Lynx ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat?

My roommate had a bit different of a problem at FC '06 when we went. She was wearing a black cat fursuit with a corset, high heels, and wasn't wearing her glasses since they wouldn't fit over or under the head (if anyone was there you may have seen her walking around). We were walking around with her as her guides, when we got to the front of the hotel where a bunch of non-furry people were gathered. One rather large guy walked up to her to get a pic taken, then asked if she would 'indulge' him. We didn't think anything of him asking that (let alone were able to hear it really), and she said 'sure' kind of hesitantly. He picked her up off her feet and held her like a piece of meat for some more pictures until we moved forward and he finally put her back down. He wasn't going to do anything near as we could tell, but she said that was still uncomfortable and weird. So it's not just people beating you up, people will just treat you like meat either way from what I've seen. :/ -Kate From rsg0910 at iglou.com Mon Jul 2 21:58:32 2007 From: rsg0910 at iglou.com (Robert Goodwin) Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2007 21:58:32 -0400 (EDT) Subject: FL: "Dear Abby" In-Reply-To: <070220071930.1158.46895272000F000B0000048622007507449801000E9B020E9C@comcast.net> from "Santa Fox" at Jul 02, 2007 07:30:59 PM Message-ID: Interesting thread here. I've done some public performances myself, including once at a hospital, and that was total fun. At the worst when in WerGoyle, when I was sitting down doing something with this one kid, another kept tossing a basketball at my back. I knew it was playful, but my mistake was ignoring him and he kept tossing. Finally I turned around and played a little with him. At one point, this kid with an IV in him got a little too close and I knocked him over since I didn't see him. Fortunately, he was OK, but I didn't move anywhere til he was safely up and his IV checked and still in place. It's probably this picture URL below that gets people thinking I attacked him then a few laughs after they know the background. As it turns out, we were wrestling with the ball and I managed to tickle him to the floor. I stood up and looked over at the camera in time to see someone (Spiked Punch?) take my pic. I think the young kid was the brother of one of the sick patients. http://members.iglou.com/rsg0910/boogi.jpg Lynx said; > I know of some fursuiters who will not perform in > public without wearing a cup, that's based on real > experience. And whenever I have a costume with a > tail, it tends to get pulled - sometimes very hard. We're all not alone on this, and it sometimes worries me. I was wearing Mutant Cat at this local state fair some years ago just before I met up with someone else. Mutant's tail is a khaki belt with the tail sewn on with a waistpack worn over it to hide the friction buckle. A young girl yanked my tail so hard, that I nearly fell backwards. Fortunately, I was in front of a display booth that had someone I knew, and would have allowed me to go in there to hide and check on the tail and myself. While the fursuit FAQ/wiki talks of suiter abuse, I'll have to agree that having an escort helps out in reducing it. Santa Fox, you said; > I learned from growing up as the smallest kid in my classes and from > having a speech impediment to boot that reacting negatively and > retaliating only encourages the bullies. As one of the list's deaf readers, it was the opposite of my experiences. If I tried ignoring them or just walking away, they'd just try harder until they got a reaction or an adult dealt with them. Around homeroom or after PE (outside normal classes), sometimes I wonder why I didn't just walk out to go to the library, risking getting in trouble. I've not retired from suiting, just kinda inactive, due to the condition of my knees. Sometimes I've noticed that having theatre and/or acting experience helps in doing performances. I've sometimes done some unintentional visual bits of humor here and there. I killed an entire classroom when I brought a flashlight and fiber optic cable out of my jacket just as the instructor was talking about the same thing. However, I'm wondering something... If there is a suited performer in a wheelchair, wearing just paws, tail, and head, how would the kids react? Would they try to climb on the chair, try to sit with the performer, what? -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?

But others get beaten up also. Down to being stabbed with knifes. Luckily the person that I heard of that was stabbed lived throe the attacking. But he did not escape staying out of the hospital. The kid that attacked him was put in jail for assault with a deadly weapon. I would never take a job at a theme park. Its not worth the minim wage pay.

Bad idea, sewing over the inside with a closing stitch though would work, like a serger stitch, but with out cutting any fabric off. -Foxwolf 9-Tails On 7/11/07, Adam Schneider wrote: > > Do you guys usually finish your seams on the inside?

On some pieces, I will run a single layer through a serger to "finish" the seam, then top-stitch to put it all together. The result is a finished-looking seam that is simply top-stitched. I don't bother going through such detailing for garments that are fully lined. And, if the garment is just for me, then I might not even bother. I usually don't try to run multiple layers of fur through the serger unless I top-stitch it together first. I have more control with a top- stitch machine, so I use this as my primary seaming tool. Other seams, like a felled seam or a french seam are simply too much work to bother with when making something in fur. If it's a finished garment in a woven material, then I'll use a felled seam. So, to answer your question in the most roundabout way as possible: maybe. ;) ( )_( ) (o , o) (").(") jovino On Jul 11, 2007, at 2:54 PM, Adam Schneider wrote: > Do you guys usually finish your seams on the inside?

I'm not even sure there's enough hotels to house that many, though there are new one going up. Having lived in the Albany area for many years I am simply amazed at how they have managed to lose every major con they have ever had. Granted the city doesn't have much to do beyond the con itself (Albany night life is limited and most attractions are outside the city) but you'd think by now they would realize that Sci Fi/Gaming/Furry/etc conventions can generate a huge amount of income for the area and attempt to make it attractive to con goers. Being located on a cross road of two major interstates (I-90 and I-87) the city is located very nicely for conventions. Only a 3 to 5 hour drive from several other big cities in the northeast. I do wish we could at least get some kind of smaller con running in the area. I've no hard figures but I'd say the area could handle a 400-800 member convention nicely. For a furry convention however that would mean Albany area furs having to come out of the closet which for some strange reason doesn't seem to happen.

Interesting use for them. I used slippers for a couple footpaws and a 'fur sock' to fit my own feet. Camstone and Jarrell here on the list use slippers or sandals covered in foam with velcro up the sides so they can put them on. Main reason we used those was for foot protection to a degree since we've walked on some pretty unforgiving ground. I'm sure you've seen what asphalt, cement, and regular ground does... I've seen various other things used like these; - dive socks - possible to use dance shoes/slippers as part of feet? - regular shoes/boots foamed out and furred - sandals/flip-flops - rubber floor mats - outdoor mats or "front door mats" Some of these methods are listed in the fursuit FAQ/wiki with a few links going to other sites. Has anyone used other methods? -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?

You can find pictures of each here: http://www.jinglefox.com/fursuits.html IMHO, they really aren't that much harder to make than normal suits - they just require a little more thought during the design phase, and of course, it helps if you've been able to see some techniques that work well. Unfortunately, I don't do commissions, and I don't know of any one who does build quad suits on commission - they're still very rare - I haven't even seen another one in person, though I've heard there's at least one or two out in the fandom somewhere, and I know of a couple of people who are supposedly working on building quads for their own use. I looked at your pictures, and your character ought to be easily buildable by having someone create a normal fursuit with a couple of slight modifications. First, the arms have to be built to the same length as the legs, and the "gloves" built more like feet than gloves. In the case of your character, they could be exact copies of the feet, though the inner structure could be different, since they wouldn't have to accommodate a human foot inside. With those changes, all you then need is a hand stilt for each front leg. You can buy professional hand stilts, though I can't tell you where - try doing some web searches to see what you can find. Alternatively, you could make stilts yourself - I build mine from a chunk of pool noodle with a length of 1" oak wooden dowel run through the hole in the center of the noodle. I then cap off the top with a chunk of 1/2" thick rubber and top it with a piece of 1" craft foam to give me a comfortable fit. The real trick is that you want your stilts configured to extend your arms to be just about the same length as your legs, so you'll have to measure the difference in your arms in legs to know how long your hand stilts should be. It's best to do this when bent over like you'll be in your costume, and it's always helpful if someone else can do the measuring for you. Try running this information by some of the builders you've already talked with and see if any would be more willing to take on your project. Of course, you're going to have to get used to walking on all fours - it's not the easiest thing in the world, but it's quite fun once you get the hang of it. Study real animals and watch the way they move their legs when they walk and run. Then, make up some rudimentary hand stilts and start practicing at home. You may very well want to do this before ordering your costume, just to be sure that quad is what you really want to do. Not trying to discourage you, but I'm very small and very thin (5'1" and 105 lbs), and I know that my lightweight body type has a lot to do with my ability to pull off my quad characters so well. Good luck, and let us all know what con your character will debut at if you do get him made as a quad, as I'm sure a lot of folks are going to want to see him (myself to start with ;-) Cheers, Santa Fox -- Santa Fox's Den - http://santafox.home.comcast.net/ From santafox at comcast.net Sun Jul 22 21:57:25 2007 From: santafox at comcast.net (Santa Fox) Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 01:57:25 +0000 Subject: FL: Quad Suit Message-ID: <072320070157.16273.46A40B050008CE9000003F9122064246139801000E9B020E9C@comcast.net> > web searches to see what you can find.

The real trick is that you want your stilts I was looking this over and I realized that I didn't really explain how my stilts work. If you can picture what I described above, which comes out like a thick tube, my hand simply rests on the top of the stilt, the top nestled in the palm of my hand with my fingers wrapped around the outside (I use the thinner pool noodles, BTW, not the thicker ones). So, I'm grasping the stilt like you would grab the lid of a jar to twist it open. In this position, I can comfortably rest half of my weight on the stilts that are in the palms of my hands, but I can also lift each leg up and move it around, effectively giving me a flexible leg joint at my wrist that mimics a "knee". Hope this all helps. If you need more details or have further questions, please feel free to ask, on list or off.

I was totally entertained by Billy on the dancefloor at FWA this year -what a treat! I'm glad I stayed up late to catch that appearance. I'd love to see exactly how you work it (I'm actually the same build as you) -Hoping we get an opportunity to hang a little at a con - I know you're a busy guy. The neck is one part that intrigues me. Scape the Goat is actually now wearable at this point but I'm finishing up a few details -I can not wait bust out at the next con!

You can find pictures of each here: http://www.jinglefox.com/fursuits.html IMHO, they really aren't that much harder to make than normal suits - they just require a little more thought during the design phase, and of course, it helps if you've been able to see some techniques that work well. Unfortunately, I don't do commissions, and I don't know of any one who does build quad suits on commission - they're still very rare - I haven't even seen another one in person, though I've heard there's at least one or two out in the fandom somewhere, and I know of a couple of people who are supposedly working on building quads for their own use. I looked at your pictures, and your character ought to be easily buildable by having someone create a normal fursuit with a couple of slight modifications. First, the arms have to be built to the same length as the legs, and the "gloves" built more like feet than gloves. In the case of your character, they could be exact copies of the feet, though the inner structure could be different, since they wouldn't have to accommodate a human foot inside. With those changes, all you then need is a hand stilt for each front leg. You can buy professional hand stilts, though I can't tell you where - try doing some web searches to see what you can find. Alternatively, you could make stilts yourself - I build mine from a chunk of pool noodle with a length of 1" oak wooden dowel run through the hole in the center of the noodle. I then cap off the top with a chunk of 1/2" thick rubber and top it with a piece of 1" craft foam to give me a comfortable fit. The real trick is that you want your stilts configured to extend your arms to be just about the same length as your legs, so you'll have to measure the difference in your arms in legs to know how long your hand stilts should be. It's best to do this when bent over like you'll be in your costume, and it's always helpful if someone else can do the measuring for you. Try running this information by some of the builders you've already talked with and see if any would be more willing to take on your project. Of course, you're going to have to get used to walking on all fours - it's not the easiest thing in the world, but it's quite fun once you get the hang of it. Study real animals and watch the way they move their legs when they walk and run. Then, make up some rudimentary hand stilts and start practicing at home. You may very well want to do this before ordering your costume, just to be sure that quad is what you really want to do. Not trying to discourage you, but I'm very small and very thin (5'1" and 105 lbs), and I know that my lightweight body type has a lot to do with my ability to pull off my quad characters so well. Good luck, and let us all know what con your character will debut at if you do get him made as a quad, as I'm sure a lot of folks are going to want to see him (myself to start with ;-) Cheers, Santa Fox -- Santa Fox's Den - http://santafox.home.comcast.net/ _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Fursuit Mail list.

Uhm... no, you weren't quite the last one, Lucky. ;) For the last three years at AC, and at other cons - I've been making and carrying a sign at the end of the parade for both the fans and the suiters alike to know "the number of fursuits in the parade." Mostly for fun, but it's helped those who plan cons be able to gage the percentage of fursuits to attendees, and allowed planners to estimate what's needed for headless lounges or other fursuit activities. I think it's also brought many fursuiters to the con, wanting to be part of a larger fursuiting event - and those who make them, to show them off with lots of others. Let's face it, fursuiting is getting popular and a lot of fun! And yes, just a bit of clarification. The count at AC the last three years has "unofficially" officially been done by the Dorsai Irregulars each year - and "I" use their count for the sign I make and carry. This year, it was first conducted as the exit to the outside photograph and came up to 341, but it couldn't be verified. So, I asked the Dorsai to do another count - and they graciously said they would for us. So, a repeat count was made by their able staff at the exit to the dealer's room. That number was given to me by the head of their security detail as "353." While many say there are a lot more fursuiters at the con (which there obviously is) - it's so far been the only count that can be made with any kind of regularity and consistently. Otherwise there will always be those who say "I suited, why didn't you count me too?" And truth be told, there really is no need to count every fursuiter at every con. Even the count for the parade is mostly done for fun - those who do it want to know the number - just to know and feel part of a larger group that was in the parade. Although some seem to think it's some sort of competition between FC and AC. There isn't really. Of couse if it brings more fur suiters to the cons, and everyone has more fun for it... maybe it's still a good thing. So far, it seems a relatively conservative estimate that 15% of con attendees at most of the popular cons, are fursuiters. And I am more than willing to listen to alternatives, including not doing the count at all - as has been already suggested to me. Others, want me to continue and have asked me to get Guinness World Records in to do an official count at the parade next year at AC (that is pending a final approval from the AC Board of Directors, regardless of any suggestions.) Truthfully, there were likely over 400 suits at AC this year. Likely to be even more at FC when it next occurs. What happens from there... who knows! So, does anyone really care... or should the counting just be ended? - Camstone From antimon at earthlink.net Thu Jul 26 01:39:39 2007 From: antimon at earthlink.net (Antimon) Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 01:39:39 -0400 (GMT-04:00) Subject: FL: AC Parade Message-ID: <17897298.1185428379477.JavaMail.root@elwamui-lapwing.atl.sa.earthlink.net> counting is good, I know I always await the final count, and of course it's not perfect but it's a base line at least, you know it's no less then that number in any event.

I don't want this to be misinterpreted, but the count is good for when the media suggests that furry fandom is solely about people who dress up in costumes, as they are wont to do.

I personally am on the fence on whether to fursuit or not. It has been a subject for internal debate since my first AC six years ago. My problem, besides convincing other parts of my own mind that this is not silly and will not make me any less of a man by dressing up as some fugitive from a theme park but is merely a facet of my own personality, is deciding what version of my own damn character to make. Do I make a lupin ranger, take a geek point if you can identify the game its from, a tiger-striped german sheperd pirate, or some canid soldier? It's time like this that I really have too much creativity for my own good. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Hi Alan Very good ideas to get an accurate impression for the size of your foot. Not sure what you are using to fill the impression. I have experimented with Bostik Black Goldsil which is a stretchable very strong silicone filler. I can water it doen with white spirits for painting. Having used it in my hand paw pads I found ti very strong and resiliant. When I made Marc's new hand paws I use a sheet of plastic , traced my hand, and then proceeded to scupt paw pads onto it with clay. Then I too a plaster cast to get the negative and use the Bostic to make the pads. Wnded up looking ans working very well. 2 things to watch. Make sure the filler you use is flexible as the foot will need to flex and move, and also it is hard wearing so you dont have to rplace or repare every few wearings. Another things to think about is maybe a piece of thick leather on top between the soul and your foot to prevent accidents with drawing pins and other sharp nasty objects. As said - its a great idea and keep experimenting. Tale Care Dave a.k.a.

He needs a break from furry, the drama, the childishness, or whatever from the fandom or specific relationships then he should take it. The door is always open to return, as much as people deride those who announce they'll be leaving and then later return - nobody denies them a place in furry when they return. I think it's more about your personal connection with anthros moreso than with the fandom; you define what it means to you, the fandom is more about interacting and being a part of the group mold of furry. Leaving the fandom is different from saying furry no longer plays a part in your life. So, although I don't know you - take care of yourself Chaka, or anyone else who has left or may leave furry. It can be very easy to forget what brought you into the fold, or the magic it once held for you, everyone feels the pulling down that the day to day crap and petty nonsense as it chips away at what makes it special and fun. It's sad but you have to do what's best for yourself. -Freaky Lynx ____________________________________________________________________________________ Boardwalk for $500? In 2007? Ha!

IMHO, that is *really* good for your very first suit. With most people's first built suits that I see posted, I can usually find all kinds of visible problems, many of which are perfectly normal for any person's first attempt at costume building. But, at least from just looking at the pictures, your's looks 100% professional to me, and far better than either of my first two original costumes way back when. Kudos, and I can hardly wait for Billy the Goat to meat Scape the Goat. If we can get Horse's Goat to bring out his suit and get Sophie to FWA as well, maybe we could get a picture of a herd of goats ;-) Cheers, Santa Fox -- Santa Fox's Den - http://santafox.home.comcast.net/ -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...

IMHO, that is *really* good for your very first suit. With most people's first built suits that I see posted, I can usually find all kinds of visible problems, many of which are perfectly normal for any person's first attempt at costume building. But, at least from just looking at the pictures, your's looks 100% professional to me, and far better than either of my first two original costumes way back when. Kudos, and I can hardly wait for Billy the Goat to meat Scape the Goat. If we can get Horse's Goat to bring out his suit and get Sophie to FWA as well, maybe we could get a picture of a herd of goats ;-) Cheers, Santa Fox -- Santa Fox's Den - http://santafox.home.comcast.net/ From: John Fox Kinsman Date: August 5, 2007 1:04:59 AM EDT To: fursuit-list at lists.fursuit.org Subject: FL: Scape photos in the database =) Woot!

Whether it's just a gathering around the TV to watch a movie, or going out to the bowling alley or mini-golf course (get early permission first!). Usually, when I got a new suit... I took it to a nearby bowling furmeet and debut it there among many furs that know me well. Personally, I like doing that than waiting until the first con I get to after getting a new suit to debut it. That way if any flaws happen to show somewhere (not that I think you have any, you did an excellent job!), you can find out about them among a small crowd of furs instead of having it happen while hundreds of furs watch. :) Wildfox http://www.chameleon.net/~wildfox/index.htm On 8/6/07, Fox Kinsman wrote: > > Hello!

Me again! I have been wandering around all over the place, looking at body suits of some amazing fursuits out there and wondering how the heck i'm gonna be able to create something decent!! Well, i've more then half way dont with my bodysuit, but i got to thinking about what i could do with the spare fur i have laying around besides sell it. Have there been any really well constructed two piece body suits out there? Like, using a shirt and then some pants for the style. I would really appreciate the input if this is a good idea (like if i wanted to have the "topless" look but wear regular pants so as not to get too hot.) Does this two piece method actually look good, or just lazy and sloppy? BlueFlyer --------------------------------- Shape Yahoo! in your own image.

My Mistletoe suit is a two-piece, for just that reason. It's nice being able to mix-and-match, depending on what clothes I want to wear with it. But that's the thing; I always have to wear some kind of clothes with it, to hide how the top isn't connected to the bottom. I can never go completely "naked" in the fur. ;) So I usually wear shorts or a skirt, depending on whether I want to look tomboy or feminine. Also, not as much fur is required to make a two-piece.

It's true, it is hard to keep it from coming part if there is no form of attachment. But I found that a zipper like that of a jacket works quit well. it would work somewhat like those pants where you can take off the legs. You just have to make sure there is a flap that will fit over it and you picked out a smaller zipper other wise it will make the fur bulge out when it tries to lay over it. The benefit of this is that if you don't think you want to wear the full thing you can wear just the top to just the bottom with a T-shirt or a pair of pants the only think to really keep in mind is your stretch, how far you can bend before the fur rides up or moves down that way you will know where your restrictions are. It can also help to sew a band of elastic through the two seams to keep think in place if they aren't zipped. Just sharing a little I'm not sure if it will work for you.

I've done a two-piece design on three of my costume puppet creations (dragon, kangaroo, and stork). However, this was due to design needs because of their long necks, rather than to be able to wear only half the costume in a partial suit configuration. What I did in each case was to have the top half overlap the bottom half by about five inches, which gives me the ability to be active without worrying about the two halves pulling away from each other. I also use suspenders on the lower half of each costume to make sure lower halves don't fall down on me. Of course, this design looks best if the belly is padded a little bit, as the padded belly helps to keep the overlapped fabric of the upper half from working loose too easily. Fortunately, with each of the characters I used this design on, a padded belly made perfect sense. I must admit, though, that I'm moving away from that design in favor of a all-one-piece design (as with my Billy Goat) for my future characters that might have long extended necks, because I've never been that crazy about how the overlap looks. On the stork (all white all the way around the abdomen), it looks pretty decent, but on the kangaroo and dragon (light bellies and darker fur/fleece on the backs and sides of the abdomen), it's hard to keep the light-color belly sections perfectly aligned when I'm running around a lot, and once the upper and lower belly sections get out of alignment, the misalignment becomes a bad eye-cather that reminds people that it's only a costume character.

At the time, I thought I was going to like the idea, but over the three years I used that head I grew more and more to want a simpler design. So, when I rebuilt my fox costume I went with an all-foam head that fits snugly on my head (I wear a balaclava under the costume head for comfort.) Having used this new head for over a year now, I don't think I'd ever go back to a helmet-based design. That's just my opinion, and there are indeed some positives to building on a helmet. It's all a matter of what you want to do with the head and what your personal tastes in head design are.

It was a street hockey goalie helmet for my gryphon. The existing cage on the front provided the structure I needed to attach the beak. And the helmet was small enough as to not make the head too big. (I tend to go toward smaller "realistic" sized). I will also admit that I "borrowed" that idea from Legend as his was built on the same foundation. Reinventing the wheel takes time and a lot of engineering paper. For the "toony" style foam head, a bicycle helmet is a pretty good pick as the chin strat would help keep the head on and pointed the right way.

I wanted to say hi and give a brief introduction of why I joined this list. Two years ago, 10/17/05, I had the idea that I wanted to be a centaur for Halloween. To make matters more difficult, with two weeks to complete this project I decided I wanted the back legs to move the way a "real" centaurs legs would (back left follows front right, back right follows front left). Fast Forward 1.9 weeks, October 30th, 11pm. I finished the frame out of copper tube and couplings/t-joints, had re-created all the joints out of hinges and springs, and sat staring at the finished frame. Needless to say the fur-suit that would encompass the frame and myself was whipped together so fast it looked absolutely horrible. I went to Salem, MA as Pan that year, utilizing the fur legs and small leftover lengths of the copper tube to create a pan-pipe. The next year was very similar in time-line, but this time I gave myself FOUR weeks, came up with a completely different "locomotion" design for the back legs involving a large central wheel contained within the frame and connections aimed at my legs, and the back legs. It worked, but again was missing the realistic fur-suit and had some minor design flaws. This year I was batman for Halloween, with the centaur frame and suit laying in my closet. Staying true to form, this year, Halloween Season 07, I again doubled the time to prepare giving myself EIGHT weeks. This year, I utilized a 2-axle, 1 driveshaft, gear driven system. The frame w/rotating assembly much resembles that of a car. The rotating assembly and it's frame will be completed tomorrow, and then the skeleton of the centaur and the fur-suit will be completed in what's left of october! PHEW, I hope you all didn't actually read all that. So do any of you have a web-site/ftp-site/storage of any kind with pictures of the creation of realistic looking fursuits? I would be very interested in such a site.

I will need to know the following by Tuesday 10/16 (Restaurant would like an updated count 1-2 days prior):-Do you have your own transportation to the restaurant Yes or No?-If yes, would you be willing to carpool others? and how many can fit in your vehicle?Also note this restaurant is mainly buffet style and it requires all that are seated in the dining room to purchase a meal. A soda/glass of water may not cut it and meals range anywhere from $6.99 and up.

My generally used nickname for all purposes- C.Lupus (that is the species name for wolves so it's fairly obvious who and what I am) It's nice to know so many of us are in the southern california la county area. (not that I like it here- it's way to hot for my tastes- I always run up a huge A/C bill) In my small city I know of one other furry, but he doesn't make any suits, though he was looking into buying one. I've been at work for the last 4 months- planning(not to mention having over 10 other long term projects). I've bought a few materials but... I'll get around to making up my mind on a design soon (hopefully)!

I have had better luck with new fursuit creators. I scouted out for a good few months for folks that needed practice. Found one that would work for just material costs, and didn't even attempt that (wanted someone with 'some!' experience) Ended up ^by chance^ meeting an awesome guy at AC and he gave me a premium price of 800. For a full suit mind, with special work on my ears.. and a movable jaw. I think he should have charged more if the going price seems to be 1500??? Then again though..

The next step is to look for people on this list. If they are willing the prices may be lower, but they will be higher than the above two, mostly due that these are real people with real lives, and the ones that would do it for lower price, most likely aren't full timing it.

I've noticed that rapidtrabbit and foxwell seem to be active in the New York and New Jersey areas, and I was wondering if any of you or your friends could come down for a volunteering opportunity. Nothing is solid yet, but it's for visibility for NJPIRG's student chapter referendum. Every 3 years, a referendum is held at Rutgers University to ensure that the majority of students are in agreement with having a waiveable fee on their term bill that supports NJPIRG. PIRG, the Public Interest Research Group, is actually a nationwide institution, but here on the local level, and more specifically at our university, we take on projects such as stream monitoring, river clean up, food drives, aiding with the passage of global warming policies, and other such activities that the students are concerned about. As for your role in this, we need some eye-catching ways to attract people to come vote in the referendum. Sorry for the short notice, but referendum is taking place this upcoming week, and one of the first things that popped in my mind is having a field of fursuiters dance for us! I can't offer any compensation, but I'd be glad to make reservations at a restaurant or diner for everyone to gather around later. Of course, I'm totally open to other ideas as well. So let me know what you think, and if anyone else is interested - tentative date for this would be Monday October 22 in the afternoon, and feel free to email me back at this address candychic125 at hotmail.com Thanks in advance!

I got mine from http://www.adanacsleds.com/, their largest size harness would fir me out of suit, and only required a little modification and about a foot of webbing to fit in suit. However, it would probably look better made oversize for a fursuit character. David Cooke.

Furry Market Place spaces still available Yes, we still have some of these spaces left at the time of this writing. If you want a space in the Furry Market Place, head on over to the dealers page at the Further Confusion website and read the details, download the PDF, fill it out, write a check for US $65.00 and get it sent in to us. That price INCLUDES a full membership to the convention. These remaining spaces are not going to last long, and we will CLOSE sales on December 1st, 2007 even if there are spaces left, so get your order in soon! 2. FNL08 - will it be YEAR OF THE NINJA Time is getting short to get involved with Furry Night Live 2008! This is the marquee event for FC's Sunday evening, featuring a variety of furry acts performed live. New this year we are accepting short video segments to complement the on-stage acts. If you have an act or are otherwise interested in participating, it is vital you join the FNL08 discussion mailing list at (FNL007 list membership does not carry over to FNL08) PLEASE NOTE: We will be shooting for a rough lineup by mid-January, and space is limited. Don't wait for FC itself! Also watch for news about the new website http://www.furrynightlive.org/ and the "furrynightlive" LiveJournal community! 3. We welcome our second Guest of Honor We are pleased to announce the second Guest of Honor for Further Confusion 2008. Dave Barclay, of PerformFX will be joining us in January. Dave is a professional puppeteer whose credits range from Cats and Dogs (working as the lead performance coordinator) to Who Framed Roger Rabbit (the lead puppeteer) to the Star Wars saga (puppeteer of Jabba the Hutt), and many, many more. We are honored to bring this master-level puppeteer to our event, and expect him to bring some of his puppets to demonstrate their use. Between artist Moira Hahn and puppeteer Dave Barclay, not to mention special performer Alexander James Adams, we expect this to be a year you won't soon forget. 4. We need DJ's We are still seeking a few good furs to help out with the dances for this upcoming FC in January. If you like to make people dance, or watch them dance, or even draw them dance, this is for you. This is also for you if you just like music and not really into dancing. We're still seeking some people who can do real time video mixing. Wanna be a VJ? Email and let's talk. Also, we're planning some new things this year like Live Action Drawing. If you want to be under the spotlight and drawing while listening to the music and watching people dancing all around you, shoot us an email. DJ's, we've gotten many submissions, but still need some more. We'll be finalizing the schedule at the end of the month, so get a demo in now if you're interested. In particular, we're in need of DJ's who can do non-techno styles (rock, pop, 80's, etc...) You don't need to be a master DJ mixer, just need to have a good selection of music. And we also are in need of some DJ's who can do down-tempo/ambient for the second area during the main dance. (And yes, still accepting demos of every style for all the dances - the schedule has not been set yet!!!) If you're interested in any of this stuff, or helping out with the dances in any way you can imagine, send an email to dj-submissions at furtherconfusion.org If you've previously sent in an email, but never heard back from anyone, don't be afraid to send it again. We'd rather get 2 emails from you than none at all. 5. The next meeting is November 10th: Please come and join us for the next public Further Confusion staff meeting. Many of our departments are still looking for helpful furs. Come be part of something great and volunteer. This con would be impossible without the help of well over 150 staffers. The meeting starts at noon at our wonderful Double Tree Hotel in San Jose. Look at any LCD screen for "Further Confusion..." to see what meeting room we are in. -- Further Confusion info at furtherconfusion.org http://www.furtherconfusion.org/ From loopfurwalker at yahoo.com Mon Nov 5 12:00:33 2007 From: loopfurwalker at yahoo.com (loop furwalker) Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2007 09:00:33 -0800 (PST) Subject: FL: My ideas for fur-suits.....etc..... Message-ID: <366220.98141.qm@web58410.mail.re3.yahoo.com> I would like to, first-off, I would like to try either a wolf or a coyote suit. (Or something in a catalog or other "informational-books".......etc......) I don't have the measurements with me at the moment,yet, (I'm using somebody else's computer for now), but, as I've said above, I would like to try "passing-on" my ideas for fur-suits......etc....or just the artworks and technical drawings I've come up with over the past couple of years since I *discovered* the "worlds-of-furry-ness", as well as the others....etc.... (I've looked up in comics and "real-based" books fo all the information I can about the above subjects I've mentioned.....etc......I even tried looking up some of the RPG system games too ------- My favorites are Rift (don't have any books yet, though), and Werewolf: The Apocalypse -------- You should see my "orders-from-borders", about $350.00 per "pile" or "stack" of books, magazines, comics, and other related materials......etc....) For the most part I like the statistics and general information for each of the products I've purchased so far, also, the "art" of course ------ I lkie the way the artists "do-their-thing". (I've purchased things (for Apocalypse) like the "Story-Teller's Screen" (I love *generating* worlds, characters, and other related materials--------I also, of course everybody does, like Star Wars and Star Trek items.........plus the whole genre of science fiction and fantasy-------------------studying each auther's styles and techniques from their books to TV and movie-related items.......I've been trying to get different ideas for costumes. (As I've said before: I love to draw and write------When I run out of one thing (paper/writing paper) I go back to the other mediums------no drawing paper----write------no writing paper-----draw---------too bad I don't have a scanner to show you my *millions* of drawings......some colored, some not.) Enough about that for now -----------more later as you get to know me (I hope we have a "good-relationship" (whomever I'm writing to----------no, I'm not gay but I like "furry" stuff for some "sexual" and "ethical" reasons --------- probably from my "weird-childhood" and how I got to be this way when I grew up-----------now I'm at "middle-age" (40 years old approx.) (If you want *my* stats I'll give you as much as I can ------ don't worry I won't ask you for any money like Dafur (I've got 450 messages or "hits" in my file----they drive me crazy!!), unless you offer a catalog or other books, refs, etc.......let me know what's up if you (or I) do anything further) My Wolf (or Coyote) characters: (at least a little bit about one, the other, or both---for now) Gender: Adult male (wolf or coyote, maybe a suggestion of another animal or other creatures)----- approx. my age (40 or 40+, or older or younger-----it depends if the character has "signs-of-aging" (crowsfeet, or some-other type of "ailment".....etc....I won't go into details myself, unless I (or you) want to, or whatever. Whatever comes of this!!) Colorization: (prefs include "real" colors from tan to black ---- descisions will come later on) Fur thickness: very smooth or very thick ------ depending on the character's backgrounds....etc....) Younger characters have "light" fur while older ones have "thick" fur. Costume: (if any) ------ character will either be "nude" or "natural" if I choose to have him that way, or, if the character has a costume make it a vest with a t-shirt underneath (white), and, if he wears pants (unless my costume has a tail, or "hole" in the back for a tail), depending on that, I might just "through-some-things-on" myself------unless you've got "pictures" and/or "attatchments" to send me or let me know what Ideas you've had (and others) over the years since you've started.....etc.....) (I'll let you know what I want------if/when I want to know things). Accessories: old-weapons, Star Wars or Star Trek props (I've got two "defunct" communicators from the old series and a "defunct" "phaser-2" (what Kirk and Spock carry on their "away-missions"--------plus I've got a whole lot of sound effect and music CD's------mostly from the "above", as well as "Dr. Demeto" stuff and Disney recordings and movies------------I like stuff like that-----I've also got a whole collection of art books (for both "real" and "imaginary" character refs.........I miss some of the "un-related" game books I've had------I moved----they didn't!!

(depending on the "buying/selling-processes" I've got and "finagled" over the years......bit-by-bit its gotten large and larger------If I move again, hopefully not for a long time, I'm going to photo-copy and put my texts and drawings on my computer-links (general, no internet at my house yet), and put them inside a *HUGE* archive-stack for wherever I go in this life ----- I'll stop off and pick up my fur-suit in the mean-time too, wherever it will be made, and/or purchased by me------I'm also *Dying" to go to a "Fur-Con" or other type of convention----but, as I've mentioned before, in another place, I live in a place called Keene, New Hampshire (deep in the heart of the "backwoods" territories.

Apple2E's are so much fun ----- I also like using the "Happy-Macs" they have at the local colleges and schools around here ------ a sort-of "techno-western-motif") The "background" itself: Character 1: A large male wolf (or coyote, or other animal-form)..................... (For this "experiment" I'll choose a "tan" fur color, bushy body-hairs and a large bushy tail at the back -------- for the "facial-features" I'd like a "big-bad-wolf" motif: "My what big ears, eyes, nose, snout, teeth, mane, and other "features".....etc....naked or clothed.....etc....)

It's a free mailing list that lets you know when I do update the site and what I've done to make the site even better than before. It's easy and best of all free.

Pre-Registration closes December 30th 2. FCTV Needs Your Help 3. Furry Night Live '08 - Ninja Master seeks disciples 4. Art Show is Sold Out 5. Furry Market Place almost Sold Out 6. Species Track Panel Information 7. Would you like to take a survey? 8. Further Confusion 2008 in Second Life 9. Next Public Meeting . o O o . 1. Pre-Registration closes December 30th Just a reminder that with the holidays fast approaching, the deadline for pre-registration cutoff is 11:59pm (Pacific time) December 30th. 2. FCTV Needs Your Help FCTV is seeking staff to help with our production at Further Confusion 2008! If you have any experience in any of the following areas, please send a short blurb about your skills to fctv at furtherconfusion.org. We are looking for the following: - Camera Operators - Video Switcher Operator (aka, Technical Director) - Technical Assistant We're mostly looking for camera operators. This will mostly entail you operating a camera on a tripod. You must be able to follow directions from the director on a headset and know how to smoothly pan, tilt and zoom a camera when you're on "Live". We will need you during most of the main events happening at main stage. Provided we have enough volunteers for camera, you won't need to be on a camera at all events (unless you want to be). We also need camera operators to do handheld video for events such as Critter Olympics and other panels as needed. This means you should have a steady hand if you're doing something where a tripod is not applicable, and be able to keep a reasonable shot at other times if you are on a tripod For Video Switcher, we need someone who can operate a video switcher (Training can be provided, but prior experience is a big bonus) and follow directions from the director. This basically means you listen to the director to tell you which camera to switch to, and switch to that camera when told. In some circumstances, when the director is not available, the video switcher will need to make their own decisions about which camera to go to. Technical assistant will help FCTV Lead and/or Second with technical related tasks. This may include running cables, hooking up equipment and running tapes and batteries around to camera operators during a live performance. If any of these things sound interesting to you, and you can spare some time (Even if for just 1 event), please email fctv at furtherconfusion.org. 3. Furry Night Live '08 - Ninja Master seeks disciples Ninja SUMMON! We are seeking intrepid souls who are organized, punctual and silent to fill our Stage Ninja Dojo. Please contact us at fnl at furtherconfusion.org Furry Night Live 2008 approaches quickly! FC's Sunday evening stage show features a variety of furry acts performed live. New this year we are accepting short video segments to complement the live on-stage acts. If you have an act or are otherwise interested in participating, it is vital you join the FNL08 discussion mailing list at PLEASE NOTE: We will be shooting for a rough lineup by mid-January, and space is limited. If you have any special requirements beyond plain CD/DVD playback - live audio, instruments, or other custom audio sources, be sure to contact us at fnl at furtherconfusion.org or we may not be able to fulfill your needs. Don't wait for FC itself! Also watch for news about the new website and the "furrynightlive" LiveJournal community! 4. Art Show is Sold Out General space in the art show is sold out. Any new applications may be put onto our waiting list in case panels open up later on. Also, if you intend to bring art to the show "just in case", please e-mail us at artshow at furtherconfusion.org so we can plan, and keep you informed. 5. Furry Market Place almost Sold Out The Furry Market Place is almost sold out. Sales will close on December 1st, 2007. At the time of this writing there are only 3 spaces left. 6. Species Track Panel Information For all you species panel enthusiasts, we have 12 different panels this year. All the regulars will be represented, including aquatic furs, avians, canines, dragons & scalies, felines, foxes, hybrid furs, minotaurs, and rodents. But we've also got two new ones: Gryphons and Rabbits. Panels begin Thursday evening at 9pm with the last one ending on Sunday at 3:30pm. Come and enjoy both fact and fiction, fans and specialists! 7. Would you like to take a survey? Further Confusion Gaming needs you! This year will feature the FC debut of Fur-mily Feud, and we need survey answers! The first set of questions has already been posted to the 'furcon' LiveJournal and our forums (at ), and a new set will be posted every Thursday. Every answer you give us helps us put on a great show! Also, starting in December, FC Gaming will start accepting applications for five-player teams to play Fur-mily Feud live at FC! You don't want to miss this great new show! Details for how to apply will be posted separately. 8. Further Confusion 2008 in Second Life If you play SecondLife be sure to come visit our beautiful themed club house on Critter Valley at (164, 162, 22). Get your free tee shirts from the vendors in our information kiosk, collect the whole set! Join our group "FURther CONfusion"(note the spelling) - its free too!

The fact is that education is always better than "better safe than sorry". It's more than okay to make a mistake, the point is to learn from it. There are a few key phrases that pretty much all the social viruses (so called because they spread only by convincing people to pass them on) contain. The biggest giveaway tends to be the encouragement to send copies to everyone you know! Seeing that is usually a good sign that you should investigate further before taking action. Generic greetings like the "good morning friends" in this one is a good indicator. Almost all of them include a phrase like "this information came directly from [insert big official sounding names here]". The FCC is often cited which is a dead giveaway since the FCC doesn't issue virus warnings. This one didn't have that at least. If you aren't certain, it's pretty easy to visit the sites of the companies listed (Microsoft, AOL, etc) and check for any warnings. This sort of thing has been around as long as electronic communications. If you're interested in history of the email variants, do a web search on the classic "GoodTimes Virus". Unfortunately the internet is a dangerous place today. These were once just mildly annoying experiments in human behaviour, and mere jokes. Today the lessons learned are actively used by criminals to coerce people to install and spread malware. Even if you don't have anything on your computer that seems valuable to you, every machine on the net is useful to them - if they can get into it. I would urge anyone using the internet to educate themselves - to not do so is a disservice to yourself and others. From rwelles at gmail.com Fri Nov 30 14:11:18 2007 From: rwelles at gmail.com (Knux The Fox) Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2007 13:11:18 -0600 Subject: FL: Fwd: Fwd(2): virus warning Message-ID: There are a few good rules of thumb when dealing with these issues. If it sounds suspect, then it is. If the email address the email is coming from sounds spammy, and/or is not a member of your friends or family, it's probably fake. Also, most email hosts, including Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, MSN, and many others offer free email virus scanning. If you're worried about viruses, get a good antivirus. Among the best free antiviruses are AVG and Antivir. There are also several good pay antiviruses, like McAfee, Norton, and recently voted the best, Kaspersky. Just be careful with those, since they tend to want to block off things that aren't viruses, like games that connect to the internet, chat clients, and sometimes even Microsoft apps. I've used them all. Currently, I use the free AVG Personal Antivirus aka AVG Free Edition. Like many have said. A little education saves face, and saves grief. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So, that means it's time to start thinking up ideas for the third annual Furry Weekend Atlanta Furry Variety Show! To make it easier for interested performers to find other performers for acts, or to just bounce ideas around without making them completely public, I've set up a mailing list for FVS planning: http://groups.google.com/group/fwa-fvs If you are coming to FWA and want to be in the show, just go to that page and request membership, and I'll approve you as quickly as I can. Details on the show and guidelines for variety show acts can be found here: http://www.furryweekend.com/varietyshow I would like to get notice of any planned acts as early as possible, so if you're planning something, please join the mailing list and post your ideas there. If you really want to keep your idea top-secret, just send your information directly to me as soon as you have it ready.

From Fox Tails: Wow, thats alot of useful info to go by and take in at one time on the Fursuit performance section...and I haven't even got my fursuit yet! Eh...I can still practice. I actually found myself doing some of the head gestures while sitting and reading the directions  . But on a more serious note, I truly find those who put down fursuiters to be the real wierdos amongst society. They fear that what is not of the so called norm...and many times they are lying to themselves. They say that those who often hate things with passion, hate things from envy. They are just jealous because they are dull. To light costumers/ furries on fire is pathetic.

well to be honest the wwgfd (what would gorman freeman do) comes from a= glorious game called half life.  it's an fps with a crazy physicis en= gine and the first weapon you ever get...is a crowbar.   so basic= ly the question is, "what would gorman freeman hit in the face with a crowb= ar?" :P so i'm putting down the ppl who try and set fursuiters on fire (btw= i've been one of thsoe fursuiters.  and thankgod i knew the person..e= x friend of mine... acuse well he tried it, and well if you ever wanted to = see a large kangaroo nail some one hard in the crotch...well there you had = it.  he had to go to the hospital and get stitches.   i wasn= 't even kind enough to give him a ride there, i was totaly fet up and now t= here's a restraining order ^.^)

Anyway - for some of the more technical furs I have a couple of idea's One of the problems of wearing a fursuit and wanting to put animatronics into it is controlling them. With professional special effects companies you can have teams of people with remote control units activating the servo's. But if your are one person then it becomes much more difficult. Especially when trying to act in the suit as well. One possibility is voice recgonition. There are sever small self contained kits out there. I have found this one http://www.active-robots.com/products/accessories/speech.shtml which can handle 20 to 40 words. The codes relating to these words are send output via an serial port. The words you use do NOT have to me real words. You can program whines, growls, snorts and any other 'sound' you want and the system can be taught to recognise them. I have mentioned PicAXE's before. These are brilliant little chip that you can program in BASIC. They have a lot of instructions for handling Servo's and Stepping motors, as well as a lot of other I/O functionality. This is great for working with upto 4 or 5 servo's. If you want more then there is this fellow.. http://www.robotshop.ca/home/suppliers/devantech-en/devantech-sd21-servo-con troller.html This can controll upto 21 servo's. One very nice feature is that you can set it to move a servo from point A to B in X milliseconds. This will take a lot of load off programming various sequences etc. To use it you can drop in either a BASIC-Stamp, or a 18X PicAXE and it will run happily using the I2C bus. Addin memory is easy as you can wire up serial EEPROMS. Programming concepts. What I was thinking of was this - setting up the memory as a continious bank from 0 to XXXX. The first 20 locations are set as jump points to the sequences. i.e. Position 1 = 256 = From Locatin 256 is the seguence for command 1. With care and control bytes you can do a lot including a psuedo language for loops, pauses, etc. The rest is your imagination. I hope some of my idea's will give folks a way to solve problems etc. Take Car Dave a.k.a. Marcwolf No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

(BTW, first time posting, and love your website, Marcwolf) Has anyone tried something somewhat automatic, where you don't have to conciously control them? I remember you mentioned a tail that swayed, but I'm thinking for head controls. For example, with a 6 degree-of-freedom sudden motion sensor (like what's in the wii remote and some laptops) installed in the head, you could tell head movement control the eyes with it. A sudden turn to the left or right typically implies looking in that direction, so the character's eyes moving that way would be natural. Similarly, looking up for wider eyes, looking down for closed eyes. Another control would be small cheap microphones, one in each costume ear. Not only for improved hearing in costume but polling at even 1kHz would be enough to determine noise level. If things are louder to the left, the left ear could swivel as if trying to hear. If things are louder to the right, the right ear could swivel instead. If there's a loud sound in general, both ears could swivel back and flattened.

It has been discussed a few times in the fursuit LJ community. There are some How-To's out there, but I'll go over how mine was made. Having someone help you is a must. Beyond the dangers of suffocation, doing such work on your own head would be close to impossible. I started with a balaclava on my head, my hair completely tucked underneath it. Then, my friend wrapped my head in cellophane, leaving my nostrils uncovered so I could breath. Once my head was wrapped and the cellophane was sticking to itself, he begin placing strips of duct tape on the cellophane, none on the balaclava. To give the duct tape head some structure, he started with a band of duct tape around my crown, like a sweat band. Then a chin strap and pieces across the top of my head. The pieces don't have to be terribly long, so they are easier to shape to the contours of your head. Again, the bridge of your nose can be covered but leave your nostrils uncovered. Once there was a solid layer of duct tape around my head, he took a pair of cheap child's safety scissors and cut the cellophane and duct tape. He started from the back of my neck to slightly below the top of my head. This allowed the duct tape and cellophane to be removed with out damaging the balaclava. Don't worry about the cellophane, it can stay attached to the duck tape head. Take off the balaclava, tape the cut seam together, stuff the head with polyphil, then tape up the neck hole.

Using duct tape may not be as rigid as you like. Go to a hobby/craft store and ask for plaster gauze. This is wonderful stuff. You cut it into strips, dip in water, then cover the desired surface. This stuff will harden in about 15 minutes giving you a rigid mold. If you put this on your head and you have hair, be sure to use a plastic bag fitting tightly so as to retain as much of your nature shape. For your face, use vaseline on eyebrows and such....clean shaven works best for the rest. Only make a mold of half your head (side to side) at a time, or you will have a heck of a time cutting it off. Use the gauze at the end to join the two halves together. For me, I had two part polyeurothane expanding foam. I filled the mold with this, let it set then peeled the gauze off. Now I had a life cast of my head that I could pin to. If you go this route, don't use 'Great Stuff' foam. This requires porosity to allow the solvents to evaporate from the foam. The plaster gauze does not breathe. If you use the balaclava on your head for all of this, it may add thickness making the mold bigger. Keep in mind, the gauze will stick to hair (voice of experience) so cover or coat it. This is a little more work than the tape, but the result is a more sturdy form. Good luck. I'm about ready to take a stab at making a balaclava head, but my problem is: How can I make the 20.5" wigstand head match the 22" of my own head so this can turn out to fit me more than turn out to be a complete waste?

Most crafts and fabrics stores will have them. It's the stuffing used in quilts. So wherever you're getting your fur from. In short, use the duct tape to rough out a shape, use the styrofoam head to give it a way to mount and solidity, and stuff with padding or batting to fill in the difference. -BobCoon
