"Club Animals is a secret society of mascots. Donning mascot costumes, our group of lovable, cuddly animal characters hit the town for once (instead of them hitting us). Why do we do this? Because we love the brief moments of joy we bring to random strangers who are lucky enough to encounter us all together, wearing our animal costumes, and well, that's about all there is to it. We consider it to be our old school New York good arty deed for the day, as a gift to the city we love and its inhabitants. Think SantaCon without the Santas. Created by Nate Hill (Chinatown Garbage Tour) and Ryder Ripps, tonight Club Animals hosts a meeting for newcomers. Mascot costume not necessary to attend, but we're definitely curious to meet your alter ego animal. Are you a Cat? A Turtle? A Flying Wombat? Activities at our meeting will include an informative mini-lecture with the current NYU mascot, the Bobcat discussing the duties and details that job entails, followed by a Q & A with Bobcat. Veteran Club Animals members Fishy will discuss the rare intermingling of art and mascots in New York, Dog will entertain us with a choreographed jig, and Bunny has free cookies for us to munch on. And to top it all off, the meeting is being held in a bar, so we intend to drink like animals! Do join in the free fun."

Hotel News Due to economic factors beyond our our control, the Doubletree Hotel has implemented some changes in the Exec Level amenities. Instead of a continental breakfast served in the Exec Level Lounge, guests staying on the Exec level will receive a coupon for an equivalent breakfast in Sprigs (the Coffee Garden). The evening reception will no longer have alcohol and hot appetizers but will continue to have snacks and beverages during that time. All other Exec Level amenities remain unchanged. Further Confusion apologizes for the lateness of this change coming to our knowledge but it is a recent cost cutting measure implemented by the Doubletree across the board. Economic downturns affect everyone, I suppose. If you are a guest on the Exec Level, you should be contacted directly by the Hotel on this matter as well and you should feel free to register any complaints with them directly. 2. Bag Stuffing Party! On the evening of Wednesday, January 21st at 7:00pm, in the San Simeon room at the Doubletree Hotel, we will be stuffing the goodie bags for FC2009. If you have something that you want to have put in our bags, please bring them to this room. We can accept flyers for other cons, ads for webpages, or any other flyers. Please note that the material must nothing above a PG rating, and whatever it is you want to put into the bags, you need 3,000 of them, as we will be stuffing 3,000 bags. 3. Titanium Tea It is a time to come together and enjoy one another's company over tea. The Titanium Tea will be held in the con suite at the Doubletree hotel. Some snacks will be provided, but feel free to bring food to share. The event will take place on Friday, January 23rd from 2:00pm - 4:00pm. Be sure to look for the notice in your convention book or bulletin board near Registration. A variety of teas (and tisanes) will be provided, but feel free to bring your favorite to share with others. It would be of great help in reducing cup waste if you bring your own mug. Here is what will be available: Rooibos Earl Grey Gunpowder Tea Chai White Tea Also, there will be a signature tea made for the Titanium Tea @ FC 2009. Be there to sample it! Any questions, feel free to contact tunduzi(at)gmail(dot)com See you at the Titanium Tea. 4. Event Signups The following events are of limited capacity and require signs ups. - Critterlympics - Saturday at noon at the info desk. - KaffeeKlatches - Sign up sheets will be at the info desk for Jeff Pigeon and Anita Coulter (Saturday at 11:00am) and Clare Bell (Sunday at 11:30) sessions. - Gaming - Any tournament gaming event, please see staff in the Gaming Room. 5.

Going to be at FC? Got a fursuit? Have a mysterious desire to engage in mildly competitive pseudo-sports in front of a crowd of cheering onlookers? Well, keep reading! Further Confusion 2009 is almost upon us, looming ominously in the future like a giant angry loom. That means that it's time once again for that most celebrated celebration of fursuited athletics, the legendary Critterlympics! Yes, for our eighth spectacular year, wacky characters from around the world will converge upon San Jose to determine who will have the right to stand tall among their peers and proclaim themselves the Best of the Reasonably Good. Do you want to be one of the Lucky Few? Of course you do! Who doesn't? Evil people, that's who -- soulless black-hearted devils whose very footsteps taint the ground upon which they walk. All you need is a fursuit and the Will To Succeed, and the will part is easy to fake. Oh, you also need to sign up. Sign-ups will be taking place at noon on Saturday at the Info Desk, which you'll find near Registration. The playing field can only hold so much athletic awesomeness, so get there early before all the spaces are taken! To be fair, we do insist that you be there in person to sign up. No fair sending someone to sign up all your friends. The Games themselves will be taking place on Sunday at 1 p.m. in the Convention Entrance. That's the second hotel entrance, down by the Info Desk where you signed up. Make sure you get there about 15 minutes early so you'll have plenty of time to hook up with your teammates and get all warmed up and ready to kick tail. We'll have tents set up for breaks, with water and chairs for your convenience. Yup, we're pretty great. In addition to the fursuiters, we also need plain old-fashioned people to help out with the proceedings. What's a team without a team captain, after all? Nothing but a headless monstrosity flailing and flopping along the beach, frightening the children, that's what. Is that what you want FC to be known for? Out-of-control decapitated beach monsters? Of course not! What can you do to stop this awful fate from befalling our beloved convention? Volunteer, that's what! Yes, it's true! The Critterlympics needs Team Captains, and you're just the sort of stalwart buckaroos we can use! All you have to do is make yourself known to Penh, Master of All Things Critterlympic, either via e-mail or during the sign-ups on Saturday (noon at the Info Desk) and you too can take a hand in guiding destiny. On the day of the Games (Sunday, 1pm!), you'll get to take command of a team and make sure they're more or less where they need to be when they need to be there. You'll be their role model and parental figure, not to mention the Angry Fist of Doom when they get out of line. Can you really afford to let an opportunity like this pass you by? Of course not! So, let's sum up.

Silicone is a very difficult item to work with given that it tends to repel everything. If you were mixing and appling your own silicon, just apply the silicon to the backing of the fur and force it into the fibers, then quickly apply and clamp down the siliconed fur onto the item before the silicone cures. Otherwise, you may want to experiment with the following glues: Marine Goop, Gorilla Glue, Barges.

Ysengrin - Thanks for the info re fur stability. I have seen a technique called Hair Punching in special effects where the fur fibres are folded in half and set in with silicone. But from your comments what you describe is what I am trying to do. Stego - Silicon is a tricky substance to work with. Esp when moving from Latex. With Latex you can apply coat after coat leaving each coat to cure. With Silicon it is the opposite unless you have something to bond new silicone to old.. See next part!! Joe Markle - I know of Skin-Tight, and I have some Silicone adhesive from Smoothon that I use when applying multiple layers to somethings. I often make a clay former and paint on the silicone rather than try and make negative to pour into. I would love to get some NFS fabric however I am in Australia and the difficulties in communicating, and shipping would be too great - esp when I do not need a lot of the fabric.

When I read "fillings come out", I was afraid of teeth falling out! For me, that's a real fear (several of my teeth have chipped, cracked and even crowns have been undermined by now). Tony Ringtail's fur/fursuit BBQ featured a pinata high in a tree.

What Donkey said is pretty much right. But there are some who absolutely refuse to reveal how they do some things. Making your pattern will take a bit of time. What I did was cover the dummy with plastic wrap and then cover the wrap with duct tape. Cut where you want your seams to be, and you've just made a pattern. Transfer it to some cheap cloth like muslin, adding a few inches to the sides, torso, arms, and legs. Then put together that pattern with safety pins where the seams should be and try it on. It should fit. If not, take it in a little here and there til you get the fit you want. Trace out or cut the cloth about an inch from the new seam area. That will be the pattern you'll use to transfer to the fake fur. Make sure you mark what section it is. What other questions do you have? We'll answer them here. Look up draping. The FAQ has mention of it, but there's some good sites out there that explain draping in better detail. -boogi- (watching his cane grow fur) -- Homepage: http://www.furnation.com/boogi/ Contact me for my AIM, YIM, MSNM, and ICQ info.

The previous suit I owned, Blaster, was simply a carbon copy of a Simplicity pattern with a fur fabric head with a cycle helmet stuffed inside. Obviously, times have changed, and suits look a LOT better now than they did in 2003! Heads are probably the toughest thing to make, and I'm a bit aprehensive about using Hot Glue, since when I use it, it either: dries out before I've affixed the fur to the foam, soaks through the fur and discolours it, or ends up with too much on one area, and not enough on the other! I'm considering using PVA glue, also known as school glue. It's tough enough to stick wood together, so surely it can glue fur fabric to foam? > What other questions do you have?

Any liquid glue (white glue, school glue, tacky stuff...) will soak into the foam, meaning that you either saturate the foam with glue, altering it's structure or you end up with the fur falling off. Hot glue also has problems. It can melt the foam. And DAP WoodWeld (which I used on my last head) dissolved the foam, making it tricky to use. I'm going to try Super77 (http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3M-Super-77/Super77/) for my next project. Given that it's an aerosol, it'll probably melt the foam as well, but the application will be easier to control. WoodWeld pooled and created spots of resin that dried to a crusty plastic-like layer. Good luck. And let us know what worked for you. Berin Hedge Hog wrote: > Quite a few, unfortunately.

It worked well, but it didn't breathe at all - he literally had to pour the sweat out of the feet after wearing the suit for a while (ew). As for gluing foam, I used 3M's Hi-Strength 90 on a fursuit I made in 1998 (my fursona Chythar) and the head is still quite intact after 10 years. The foam is still good as well, since I sweat into a baklava instead of the foam. The foam will rip before the glued seams come apart, yet it's a flexible bond. I also used HS90 to glue the fur down, and it's still down. I have used hot glue on corners of the fur & foam where it's difficult to spray in, but I do use it sparingly. Too much hot glue will seep through the fur backing and glue the fur itself down. I do use hot glue to hold the seams open on the bodysuit, and it works very well. Just don't use too much as I mentioned above. Chythar At 06:01 PM 3/1/2009, you wrote: >What kind of foam are you using?

We have also instituted a change for hotel rooms being reserved at the Fairmont. Once you make a hotel reservation, you will be required to pay for one room night beginning November 1st, 2009. That means, you have until October 31st, 2009 to cancel your room night without any penalty. After October 31st, you be charged for one room night. Please email hotel at furtherconfusion.org with any questions. Fursuit and Party Floors: Please fill out the online request form at You will need the hotel confirmation number, your real name and your email. Once you have the confirmation number, enter it on the website URL from above and send it to us. We will process your request as they come in on a first come, first serve basis. Note that we have a limited amount of party rooms. FAQ: We anticipate that most questions that will be asked can be answered by looking at our Hotel FAQ at .

I agree with the early canceling policy, but I don't agree with having it that early. I think having it like the 15th of December would be better. If something happens that prevents the person from going could cancel; who really knows what might happen almost three months in advance. It also gives someone that is waiting for a opening plenty of time to get the available room. Donkey -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I plan to use a skateboarders helmet (since they're very round and smooth) as the basis, and have the head 'hang' from the helmet as it were. I'll be using a combination of stuffing foam and plastic reinforcement struts to build the features, instead of carved foam. As someone mentioned, there is no proper method to build a suit, so, hopefully, since I feel it'll work, it will. I'll provide pictures of it once I start getting a proper design together.

Swift Fox from Pittsburgh here to share some news of importance to our little part of the fandom. Over the last handful of years, Morphicon, held in Columbus OH, has been down-played as not being a "fursuit friendly" convention. As the new programming director for 2009, I've asked Lascivus Lutra to help me as Fursuiting Track head with the instructions to produce a list of panels that will change that perception in the fandom. I think he's succeeded in that task and I'm here to share a little of what the fursuiting community can expect when they register to attend our event the weekend of May 15-17, 2009. Morphicon will have two dedicated fursuit friendly dances, two sets of fursuit games, a judged Menagerie with focus on performance, professional photo sessions, a parade adn photo shoot, and a host of "How to" lectures. Under my watch, I've tried to steer the programming for this convention back towards center; but the only true litmus of our success and failure is shown by your support of the convention and what it has to offer. I encourage you to give this small, social convention in central Ohio a second try. I am confident that Morphicon will not live up to it's reputation this year.

Message-ID: <775945.57404.qm@web63106.mail.re1.yahoo.com> I'm looking to make my fursuit snarl. I thought about rigging up some small tubing in the muzzle and having fishing line go through that's attached to teh fur lips, and hopefully the when the line is pulled it would create a snarling effect. ? But I think there is a better way to get the snarling effect right? Can anybody help me out? I don't know anything about animatronics or circutry but if someone could break that down for me that'd be awesome. SO any ideas on how to make a snarl? ? ?

Fishing line can be used rather than the cable, but you're best to get the really thick kind (Almost like that for weed eaters). The cable threaded through the tube so it will not bind, and you can have a fulcrum to pull against. You attach the tubing to the skull of the head for support. A spring is attached inside the head to provide the restoring forces needed to pull things (like the fur) back into place. The cable and tube is then attached outside the head to a plunger mechanism. When someone pulls on (or a solenoid pulls on) the cable, the movement is transferred to other mechanisms (stiff rod or other cables) and deforms the facial parts (e.g. lips). When the plunger is released, the interior springs at the opposite end (inside the head/near the lips) of the cable - pulls back the cable and the fur back to where it was before. Getting the tension and the right springs is the tricky part. Too strong a spring, and it doesn't move right. Too weak a spring, and it never returns to it's original shape. In short, you set the fur to be normal, then when you pull on the cable (against the tubing) to make it snarl. And when you release the plunger, (or tension in the cable) the spring pulls the cable and the fur back into (a pre-snarl) shape. You can see how some of this is built with servos and other animatronics over at: http://forums.trossenrobotics.com/showthread.php?t=2398 And here is an example of a hand operated plunger http://media.photobucket.com/image/cable%20pull%20puppetry/practice-cactus/cableoperating.jpg It requires a lot of patience, but it can be done. - Camstone From smorizio at hotmail.com Sat Apr 18 19:25:40 2009 From: smorizio at hotmail.com (steven morizio) Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2009 19:25:40 -0400 Subject: FL: this is why you dont run in costume...

I am not that sure that in my case that would be that big of a problem. I am normality addressed as Donkey no matter what fursuit I am wearing. I find that annoying but I have learned to deal with it. Maybe my big mistake was naming a fursuit after my self in the first place. Well that was long ago and the damage was done.

Some use a variation of an existing character from literature, comics, cartoons, or video games. Some use the name of their character animal from other languages. Yet others simply add the name of thier favorite sport or pastime to the name of thier animal type like "basehit bobcat" or "duffer hound." I'm not sure what the Spanish word for donkey is, but Burro Rey might be a name you'd consider. The classic Krazy Kat comic strip made mention of Donkey Oatey, IIRC. --- On Wed, 4/29/09, Donkey wrote: From: Donkey Subject: FL: fursuit names To: fursuit-list at lists.fursuit.org Date: Wednesday, April 29, 2009, 4:32 PM I have a question about renaming fursuits.

I've not seen this particular disclaimer before, and thought it was worth mentioning. "On domestic flights, Continental's maximum liability limit for checked baggage is $3000 USD per passenger and Continental excludes liability for all unchecked baggage. On international flights governed by the Warsaw Convention (including the domestic portions of the trip), maximum liability for checked baggage is approximately $640 USD per bag, and $400 USD per passenger for unchecked baggage. On international flights governed by the Montreal Convention (including domestic portions of the trip) maximum liability for baggage is 1,000 SDRs per passenger for checked and unchecked baggage. You can declare excess valuation on certain baggage at the airport, additional fees will apply. Continental excludes liability for fragile, valuable or perishable items carried in all baggage including jewelry, computers, cash, camera equipment and similar valuables. If any of these items are lost, damaged or delayed, you will not be entitled to any reimbursement. " Now, I will say that I've not had a problem with flying with fursuits before. The one time that a bag didn't make my flight due to a connection. it was returned to me at my office the very next day. While I find the listing disconcerting, it does make me want to call the airline and ask about declaring excess valuation on bags that may have a fursuit in them.

I called Continental to ask about the policy and got some more information. They will allow you to declare a value of up to $5000 US in total for your checked bags on domestic flights. (International are different completely.) They still cover up to the $3000, when you declare the contents. You need to pay for the difference as an extra on your ticket. The cost with Continental is $1 per $100 of value over the $3000 mark. So you'd pay up to an extra $20 (each way) if declaring up to $5000. In order to decalre, you need to be able to remove the contents when checking the bag to show that the item is actually in the bag. Should you need to file a claim, you'd need to be able to provide a photograph of the lost item, which should match the description of what you declared. You'd also need a verifiable statement from whoever built the costume stating what it's replacement cost would be. They would need to verify the cost against that of other costumes that were built by the same producer. Some items are automtically excluded from this policy. Chief among these are electronics and jewelry. These will never be covered from loss of checked luggage (and so they should NEVER EVER EVER be checked). It was interesting because the person who fielded my call had difficulty in locating this information. It's apparently not something many people have looked into. So that's Continental's policy in a nutshell. Has anyone else checked into the policies of other airline carriers?

These fees are not included in your trip cost, and are paid separately to the carrier. Checked baggage policies vary by airline, destination, frequent flyer status, booking class, bag size and weight. Fees may apply if you plan to check a bag or if you plan to carry sports equipment or an odd-shaped item or your bag exceeds airline weight limits. Baggage policies apply each way for select flights.

It's unavoidable but you wash it inside out in cold with woolite by hand. Never had any problems with the color migrating to non airbrushed areas. I personally then toss it into the washer for a quick spin cycle to get the water out before I air dry it. The fade is not that bad and I have put him through several washes before I had him touched up and re-airbrushed.

Stargazer.... Message-ID: <340894.96450.qm@web55208.mail.re4.yahoo.com> I believe the procedure for washing a padded fursuit would be similar to washing an Army sleeping bag. Make a small tub of warm soapy water. Then take a mall towel, dip it in the soapy water and wring it out, then use it to wipe about the inside of the suit.?Follow up with a clean dry towel. Ten hang up to dry in front of a fan or in the sun. --- On Thu, 5/21/09, Fox Kinsman wrote: From: Fox Kinsman Subject: Re: FL: Padded fursuit washing?... Stargazer....

This is the day when anyone dressing up in a cow costume and going to their favorite Chick-Fil-A restaurant will get a free meal! If you don't have a cow costume, well, you've got about six weeks to make one. It only took me two weeks to complete mine :-) For more details, see: www.cowappreciationday.com FWIW, while CFA features the Holstein cow in its advertising, you don't have to necessarily be dressed as a Holstein cow to get free food. I know at least one person has gone in previous years in a solid black bull costume and still got a free meal. However, it is going to have to be a cow or bull of some kind to get a free meal - other creatures aren't going to work. That said, you could try (at your own risk) to show up in some other costume with a friend who's in a cow costume and at least get to do some public fursuiting. If anyone in the Atlanta area wants to join me that evening, I'm going to try to get a group together to go to the Perimeter Mall area CFA that's next to the Regal Cinemas around 7 PM that day. If you're interested, email me off-list and I can send more details once I nail them down.

I painted the cornea and iris on the inside of the lens and looked out the pupil. It was usually dark enough inside the head that the tiny hole wouldn't reveal anything inside. Nowadays, the best substitute I've found are halves of do-it-yourself Christmas ornaments from a craft and hobby store. They're more bulbous, so they need to be set deeper into the head and covered with more eyelid fabric. --- Sent from I, Phone On Jun 23, 2009, at 12:03 PM, Jon Lee wrote: > I have used the finest (most closely-spaced holes) plastic mesh I > can find (plastic embroidery mesh, available at most craft stores) > and painted them over for the pupil.

This is amazing material. It has a very low melting temperature and can be stretched over a master mold to create whatever shape and size eye you desire. I make my masters from plaster of paris then heat and stretch the plastic. If you find a paint opaque enough, you will be able to see thru it like sunglasses. I buy mine from Industrial Plastics and Paints here in calgary....but I'm sure there are others who carry this. I have scads of this here.....if anyone would like to try a small piece (serious inquiries only), I would be happy to send you a sample of the thick and thin variety to experiment on. Additionally, if you screw up, your piece is not scrap. Just reheat and restretch/reform it....this is amazing stuff!

I painted the cornea and iris on the inside of the lens and looked out the pupil. It was usually dark enough inside the head that the tiny hole wouldn't reveal anything inside. Nowadays, the best substitute I've found are halves of do-it-yourself Christmas ornaments from a craft and hobby store. They're more bulbous, so they need to be set deeper into the head and covered with more eyelid fabric. ---Sent from I, Phone On Jun 23, 2009, at 12:03 PM, Jon Lee wrote: I have used the finest (most closely-spaced holes) plastic mesh I can find (plastic embroidery mesh, available at most craft stores) and painted them over for the pupil.

Thank you for reading meow :3 Kofu I have heard of fursuit makers using women's black stockings for the pupils and it could work to conceal the performer if the inside of the head is very dark. Regardless, I also have used and recommend black buckram fabric as it is much thicker, stronger, longer lasting, and harder for light to enter the head. Ask for it at fabric stores. As far as using camera film or sunglass lenses, I know some fursuit makers have used both dark and mirrored sunglass lenses. There should be no need to cut the lenses as they can be hidden behind the iris. One word of caution about using any solid film, plastic ball, or sunglass lens - they can fog up and make it hard to see out the fursuit head since there is no way for the humid air inside the head to escape. Some folks have tried using anti fog solution (available at dive shops) on the inside of the lens, electric fans inside the fursuit head to exhaust out or blow around humid air, or small holes placed next to each eye allowing for fresh air to enter the head.

I don't think this has been mentioned, but this just came to mind. You know those little things like washers people use to lift something off a surface? Use something that's maybe a millimeter or two in height. What this does is allow air to come in from the sides of the lenses, thus avoiding the need for making holes. I'm not quite big on sunglass lenses since they can make it difficult if not impossible for you to navigate dimly-lit areas. But this leads to another question... You know those eyeglass lenses that darken when you're outside? Has anyone used them on suit heads? How well do they work? -boogi- From anthrobunny at gmail.com Thu Jun 25 01:06:52 2009 From: anthrobunny at gmail.com (Blackberry) Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2009 22:06:52 -0700 Subject: FL: Question on materials for the eyes/pupil In-Reply-To: <20090624.021105.2756.1.dlely@juno.com> References: <20090624.021105.2756.1.dlely@juno.com> Message-ID: <982832d90906242206t761781b2t112919411541f7bf@mail.gmail.com> 2009/6/24 David L.

I've made five suits so far, and I've put fans in all but the first, and they ventilate extremely well. That's the first thing I plan and wire up in the head. I've tried to ventilate, yes, but I've succeeded very well. I don't know why you think it doesn't work. -- "I guess I like board games more than most people.

I've used it a couple of times to get out some fairly crappy stains, but i've never tried it on sharpie. It is possible that since most of the staining is on the white that you may be able to use some sort of bleach type product to clean it, i would not however reccomend bleach as it'll probly do AWFUL things to the fur.

I've had very good results removing sharpie stains with a 50/50 solution of dish washing detergent and rubbing alcohol. I also remember trying to "dye" white fur a long time ago with a Sharpie. It didn't do very well and it faded almost completely after a few washes. You might be able to get the stain out with regular washing. -Damian I know a new dance.

I experimented with sharpie and it does not work nearly as well as flat black spray paint. With the bruckram -you are not going to be able to see through it when it is white -thus the reason for painting it black on both sides. I think I kept my buckram experiment strip here at home -white, sharpie on one side, sharpie on both sides, spray paint on one side and spray paint on both sides -and when you move it across your eyes, you suddenly can "see" when you get to the last one lol Anyways, I'll miss Twizzler -he was so cute -but I welcome the new...

Suddenly the lights go out, a scream, a thud! A crime has been committed! Do you pride yourself on your problem solving and observation skills? Local investigative office is currently seeking individuals for surveillance and various other activities. Experience not required but preferred. Pay rate negotiable based on history and experience, but will be paid on a pro bono basis. Skunky Scuttlebutt Labor Day Weekend 2009 Guest of Honor: Isfacat!!! Isfacat, or Isfa for short, is an on-the-rise standup comedian of the sorts, but mostly a Jack-of-all-Trades. He's searched and scoured the world for interesting subjects to speak of, and now he brings it all back to Memphis. His comedic styling can be described as stories equivalent to "Uncle Kage's Story Hour", a series of events that have happened to him in real life, but with his own little twist. Isfa also leads his life as a professional computer gamer, and probably explains his addiction to Red Bull at this point. He has been to a few events in Texas for said activity, and only twice has he acquired a trophy, but there's many more years to come. If you spot him around the convention, whether in the Dealer's Den or maybe on stage, don't be afraid. He's just like you, an ordinary man with an ordinary job, making a living as that guy you see who never leaves his apartment for anything but making a food run. It will be here before we know it when Tyger will open MFM 13 with these words "Welcome Home". That's right, we are quickly approaching the start of Mephit FurMeet 2009, the place so many of us now call home. Make your plans now to attend one of the BEST gatherings in the furry community. ALSO.......There will be a VERY SPECIAL announcement at Closing Ceremonies that you will NOT want to miss about MFM in the future! --=={ T-Shirt Contest }==-- PLEASE READ THESE RULES IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE ENTERING. The rules for 2009's T-Shirt Contest are: 1) What's up for grabs? There are three chances for your artwork to be selected for MFM's T-Shirts. * Attendees Choice - The winner of the Attendees Choice will have their artwork featured on the front of the MFM T-Shirts. This is chosen by you, the attendees. * Director's Choice - The winner of the Director's Choice will be featured on the back of the MFM T-Shirt. * Staff Choice - This will be chosen by the staff and be featured on their staff shirts Each winner will receive a free attending membership. 2) Who is eligible to enter? Everyone! To be fair to all artists, we are continuing the requirement this year that the winner of the previous year's Attendees Choice will not be eligible for this year's Attendees Choice. They will still be allowed to enter, and may be considered for either the Director's Choice or Staff Choice. 3) What do I submit? The overall rating for the piece should be a "G" to "PG" rating - if you wouldn't wear it in your elderly grandmother's house, don't put it on your entry! The piece must feature a skunk as the main subject or subjects. It should also bear either "Mephit FurMeet" or "MFM" as well as the year or corresponding anniversary number (i.e.: 2009 or 13). Entries that misspell the name of the convention will be disqualified. For an entry to be eligible for voting, two versions of the entry MUST be submitted - one for display/voting, and a second, higher-resolution piece for use should that entry win or be selected for other use by a member of staff. Display Piece: No more than 800 x 600, This display piece should not contain a signature to show who created this (We will go into more detail on this later). Artists need not worry about misuse of their artwork, as this piece will be watermarked by the staff as being an MFM T-Shirt Entry prior to being placed on the website for display. The "Display Piece" should be submitted as a .JPG or .GIF. Final Piece: This will be the actual artwork used by our printing company to make the t-shirts, or the staff should your piece be used in any other function. This finished work SHOULD contain a signature which will appear on the t-shirt. The recommended dimensions are at least 10 inches high at 300 dots per inch or higher. The "Final Piece" should be submitted in Adobe Illustrator (.ai) format, although TIFF or EPS will also be acceptable. This is by request of our printer that it be sent as Illustrator format. Both the display and the final piece must be black and white ONLY (GRAYSCALE AND HALFTONED IMAGES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE, PERIOD). When the artwork has been received, you will be notified within 72 hours that it was received. If you did not receive a notification within 72 hours, please do not resend your email, but instead a follow up to see if it was received and the administrator of the contest just plain forgot *grin*. 4) Display of artwork Once again, we will be running a 'blind' contest. We will only display the title of the piece, not who the creator is. By doing this, we hope to make the contest fairer by making everyone choose the submission based upon the piece itself, not the artist. Voting will be the same as in previous years - commencing for one week, after which votes determined to be ineligible will be discarded and the design which gets the majority of valid votes will be the winner. After voting has finished and the director's choice has been selected, the t-shirt entry page will be updated with the names of the artists who submitted each entry. 5) When do you need it? Cutoff Date for Submitting Entries is 11:59 PM Central time on Saturday, July 19, 2009. 6) Where do we send it? Please submit all entries to tshirt2009 at mephitfurmeet.org 7) Other things. Each artist may enter up to three pieces for inclusion in the contest. The administrator of the contest shall abstain from voting. The rules for voting will remain the same as in past years, where for a vote to be valid, the corresponding email address must be subscribed to one of Mephit FurMeet's mailing lists. IP Addresses will be logged, and MFM reserves the right to disqualify multiple votes from the same IP. 8) Some stuff you need to know (Better read it, it affects you!) By submitting an entry to the Mephit FurMeet T-Shirt contest, you are granting Mephit FurMeet and its parent corporation, Mid South and Tennessee Anthropomorphic Arts Association (MST3A) an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use the entry for promotional purposes. The original creators of the work are permitted to use the work in their own portfolios and promotions. Mephit FurMeet and MST3A reserve the right to review all entries and not allow any entry that it deems inappropriate (i.e.: drug/alcohol references, violent or sexual content, or possible trademark/copyright violations). MFM shall in no way be responsible for entries that are lost in transit, either via email or postal service. If we do not receive an entry before an established cutoff date, the entry will not be included in the contest. Also, if you do not submit both required versions, your entry will not be included. --=={ Hotel Reservation Info, Rooms Going Fast! }==-- We have just been able to secure one more block of hotel rooms. If you haven't gotten your room yet, you need to do it quickly!!!

Jose and I appreciated the time you took out of your busy day to discuss some very important issues and concerns that you had along with some of your attendees. The following issues were discussed and will be handled as follows. The hotel will provide the head of the convention security a extra security guard during the day hours and two during the evening hours to report directly to him. This will give you the flexibility to place security where you feel it is needed the most. You will have 100 % control of the security for the convention. The Conference room locks that are being utilized during the convention will be tested to ensure that they are secure and in proper working condition. The renovation is going to happen; it was pushed back due to the economy. The estimated start date has been set for the end of April we will be starting with the sleeping rooms first, we will work very hard that this should not in any way effect your meeting room requirements or the guest rooms that your guest will be occupying . This is only a estimated time and could change, we will keep you updated. We are glad to have everyone back this year and we will do everything to make sure your guests are happy and comfortable during their stay. If we can provide you with any further information please just let us know Sincerely, Jose Gallego Karla Caudill *ALL SUITES ARE SOLD OUT* We will once again be in the Holiday Inn Select Memphis Airport, located at 2240 Democrat Road, Memphis TN 38132-1807.

As the Megaplex Fursuiter Lounge caretaker, I want to offer a really great selection of amenities in the lounge this year, and in order to best reach that goal, I want to get input from other fursuiters. With Anthrocon fresh on many suiters' minds, I figure that this is a perfect time to ask about fursuiter amenities for a sumertime furry convention. Now, of course, we'll have plenty of cold water and an array of fans (you can't really call it a lounge without those staples, now can you?) I also already have the following items acquired for the lounge: * Straws (10" long) * Bedroom-style mirror (brand new) * Febreze (TM) anti-bacteria spray * Sewing / Repair Kit (freshly stocked with needles, threads, safety pins, & scissors) * Several clocks (digital & analog) In addition, I'll be posting a large-scale copy of the con schedule in the lounge and the hotel will be providing towels. I'll also be putting up an easel & flip chart in the lounge on which I'll highlight the key fursuiter friendly events of each day. Keeping in mind that hotel rules prevent us from providing any food or drinks (other than water) in the lounge, is there anything else that I could provide in the lounge that would help to make our fursuiters more comfortable?

Lots and lots of towels (small- or medium-sized ones are fine), constantly being restocked. - A hot glue gun. - Plastic cups and sharpies (or stickers maybe?) to mark the cups. - Something to hold fursuit heads in front of a fan so they can dry. You can only fit so many on a table or chair, but you can fit a bunch on a custom hat rack or something similar. - Gatorade mix. Not sure if this works with the hotel rules you mentioned, but I've always greatly appreciated it. -Uck!

Registration price change - Register today! 2. Overflow Hotel - The Sainte Claire 3. Badge Art Wanted! 4. Dealer's Room - Waiting List 5. Art Show Sales Open 6. Furry Market Place 7. Annual Further Confusion Camp-Out 8. Annual Further Confusion Picnic 9. Convention Book Art and Story Contest 10. Next Staff Meeting --------------------- 1. Registration price change - Register today! If you haven't pre-registered for Further Confusion 2010, now is the time! Starting September 1st the price for pre-registration will go up to $45, so get signed up at http://www.furtherconfusion.org/fc2010/registration today! 2. Overflow Hotel - The Sainte Claire The AAE Board has signed a deal for the overflow hotel for Further Confusion. That hotel is the historic The Sainte Claire Hotel, located across the street from the Fairmont. The room rate is $119 per night. Reservations can be by calling the hotel directly at (408) 295-2000 or toll free (866) 870-0726 and asking for the Fur Con rate. The hotel is just a few hundred feet from the con and each room offers refrigerators, DVD players, and complimentary wireless internet (some rooms also have a wired port). 3. Badge Art Wanted! Further Confusion is currently seeking artwork submissions for the 2010 membership badge inserts. Both color and black & white artwork will be accepted, and all artwork will be considered on overall 'look and feel', plus these additional points: - Size: Art must scale to be printed at 4" x 2". - Theme: Art must accurately reflect the theme of the con. - Age appropriateness: The art must be suitable for viewing by children. Artists submitting images should be aware that there is no payment for badge art chosen, and the artist gives Further Confusion the right to reproduce the image as badge art for FC2010. The artist will be credited on the insert and in the con program book. The artist retains all other copyrights and reproduction rights beyond the above. Submission deadline is November 1st, 2009. All qualifying submissions will be seriously considered and we will choose 6 designs. All artists will be notified by December 1st as to whether or not their submissions have been chosen. Submission technical specs: We prefer JPG format at best possible quality compression, at 300 DPI. An 8" by 4" original scanned at 300DPI gives us a good file to work with. Badge art submissions should be sent to badgeartsubmissions at furtherconfusion.org. In the email specify how you wish to be credited should your art be chosen. 4. Dealer Room - Sold out - Waiting List taking applications Our Dealer Room sold out in mid-June, and we are now taking Waiting List applications. To get on the waiting list just use the existing Dealer Room Table Application form that exists on the website fill it out just as if you were buying a table, but when you send it in do NOT include ANY payment. This will get you directly onto the waiting list. -- How the Dealer Room Waiting List works All those present on the Further Confusion 2010 Dealer Room Waiting List will have an equal chance of getting a table should additional tables become available or someone that currently has a table cancels. What we do is at the time of selection from the Waiting List we made a random drawing from all names on the list. This is NOT first-come, first-served. It is a Equal-chance lottery from amongst all applications on hand at the time of the application. We can make no promises to find space for those on the Waiting List. In many years, all those on the waiting list either get in or drop off the list before the convention starts in January. Other years very few people cancel and thus few from the waiting list get a space. Cancellations most often happen in December and January, just before the convention. Some happen only days before the convention. We have no way to predict when a table will become available. When we DO make an offer to someone from the waiting list, the offer will be made by EMAIL. So make sure you put an email address that you check OFTEN on the application. Offers usually must be responded to within 72-96 hours of them being made, depending on how close to the convention it is. Payment will be arranged for based on how close to the convention it is. If it's many weeks before the convention, you will need to send in a check by mail. If it's only days before the convention you will likely need to pay when you arrive at the convention and claim your space. 5. Art Show Sales Open The art show sales have opened! If you are interested in placing a piece, please see http://www.furtherconfusion.org/fc2010/artshow for the rules and an application form to be in the art show. 6. Furry Market Place Sales of the Furry Market Place spaces will start Saturday August 1st, 2009. The Furry Market Place is a non-adult (no material greater than PG-13 allowed to be sold or advertised in this space) sales space in the hallway outside the Dealer Room. Vendors with space in this area will need to set up and tear down each of the three days that the space will be open as it is in non-secure space (a hallway). Electricity is NOT a provided item in these spaces. You may or may not get a space that may or may not have a working power plug near it. All Furry Market Place spaces are 'wall' spaces. These spaces will cost US$65.00 and come with a full membership to the convention for the person purchasing the space. You may only purchase a SINGLE space. If you need more than one space, get a friend to purchase one and work together at adjacent spaces. (We can't promise to be able to place you next to each other, but it is usually not a problem.) To purchase a space, go to the Dealer Page on the Further Confusion 2010 website and you should find a Application Form in PDF format appearing there before the end of July 2009. Print out and fill out the form and send it in with payment (Personal Check or Money Order, please, made out to FURTHER CONFUSION). The address to send it to will be on the application form. We sell the spaces by postal mail ONLY. We do not sell these spaces online. These sales will be processed in Postmark order, starting with those postmarked August 1st, 2009 and continuing until we are sold out. We are initially offering 20 spaces for sale. Sales will end on Tuesday, December 1st, 2009. As with Dealer Room Tables, to make sales from a Furry Market Place space, you MUST, by the first day of sales, have a Sales Permit # from the California State Board of Equalization. A link to the CA BoE website is present on the dealer page of the Further Confusion website. 7. Annual Further Confusion Camp-Out We are now taking reservations for the FC 2010 Camp-out, which will take place on the nights of Friday August 21st and Saturday August 22nd. Reservations are due by August 14th. Please send an email to camping at furtherconfusion.org with the following info: * Real and fan names * How many people will be in your party ($5 per person per night) * Confirm ages of all members (Campers must be 18 years of age or accompanied by a LEGAL guardian) * Will you be bringing a vehicle ($5 per vehicle per night) First come, first serve. The campout will be held at Anthony Lake Chabot Campground the Oakland Hills above Castro Valley. Camping is located just minutes from the Further Confusion picnic being held at Lake Chabot on Saturday August 22nd, 2010. 8. Annual Further Confusion Picnic The annual Further Confusion picnic will be held Saturday, August 22nd, starting at 11:00 am at the Willow site at Lake Chabot. The picnic is free and open to all - no RSVP required! As usual, we'll provide the food and drinks. More food is always welcome, though, as are folks to help out in setting up, cleaning, and otherwise making the picnic happen. If you would like to bring some food or condiments, please drop us a line at info at furtherconfusion.org and we can let you know if we need anything in particular, or just mark down what you're bringing. 9. Convention Book Art and Story Contest Our Con Book Art and Story contest for FC2010 is ongoing and accepting submissions! We will randomly select two art winners and one story winner from all of the entries, and each one of those winners will receive a Patron Level membership to FC2010. The Con Book editor will then decide who gets published in our Con Book form among all the entries, winners or not. Deadline is October 1st! The Rules - Each artist and author is limited to one entry per person. - Art, Stories and Poems have to be PG rated. No exceptions. - Art should fit the theme of FC2010, which is "Gold Rush". In particular, think of the Barbary Coast, not just the rush to California but also the urban atmosphere of San Francisco during those days; the parties, the opulence and the wild times. - Poems, or Essays should also fit the theme as well. For more information, please email conbook at furtherconfusion.org 10. Next Staff Meeting There is no August staff meeting because of the FC 2010 Camp-Out and Picnic. Our next staff meeting will be on September 12th, starting at 12pm in the San Jose Fairmont. Parking is available in the surrounding area but is not free. The parking lot closest to the hotel will run $7 for the duration of the meeting. -- Further Confusion info at furtherconfusion.org http://www.furtherconfusion.org/ From smorizio at hotmail.com Fri Aug 14 13:34:57 2009 From: smorizio at hotmail.com (steven morizio) Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 13:34:57 -0400 Subject: FL: new large funny teddy bear fursuit type movie.

I needed some way of making the heads fit people that are not around. Then I thought of doing it the same way that I have the bodies. I thought of doing a duck tape dummy head. Of coarse I did have a problem with my first duck tape dummy head victim, I mean volunteer, as he had a nasty habit of insisting to be lowed to continuing on breathing. My arguments of posterity went completely unheeded. People have such annoying priorities. then thought of just tying him down to the chair and duct taping his muzzles shut so I would not have to lessen to the consent complaints about him breathing. But after thinking of the possible lawsuits and criminal charges, Oh and more importantly his boyfriend is within hearing range since he was in the other room, I dropped that idea as not feasible. So after some additional brain storming, I came up with an answer that my... volunteer would be willing to accept. I would do the entire head not covering the mouth and nose area. When all that was left was that area I would cut the person free of the head and right before I pulled it off I would do the mouth area and immediately pull it off. So far my volunteers are still friends. Oh yes, there also still alive. How did others solve the head size problem? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If it does not have to be exact but close to size the other option is getting a full head armature from http://www.monstermakers.com/product/deluxe-full-head-sculpting-armature-life-size.htmlit is made of lightweight foam I use this for making latex masks by building clay onto then cast it using gypsunm cement and then I use the negative for a latex slush mold. Not sure if this helps you or not. In most situations whatever comes off that should fit most peoples heads unless their head is oversized. Another option I see is you could take general measurements of their head then if there head is bigger then the dummy head you could build clay onto the dummy to match the measurements of their head. You could use oil or water based clay. Then build onto that.

This has been mentioned before by others who have done lifecasting including me. *NO* straws up the nose. It's too easy to accidentally push them up there. Dental alginate can be used, but for most people, it sets too fast. You'll want slow set alginate found at Pink House or other places which sets in 7-10 minutes even with warm water. > Another option I see is you could take general measurements of their head > then if there head is bigger then the dummy head you could build clay onto > the dummy to match the measurements of their head.

I've carved the head features to a state where I think I'm ready to carve out a spot for my real head to fit. So my general plan at this point is: 1.

Place a balaclava over the mannequin head and hot-glue the balaclava to the foam head 5. Cut and apply ears to foam+balaclava assembly 6. Using skin oils or other method (suggestions?) to make duct tape less adhesive, apply the tape to the foam+balaclava assembly 7. Draw pattern on the duct tape and then cut it to create a pattern for cutting fur 8. Use the duct tape pattern to cut fur, sew fur together (partially), fur the head ?.

After you wash your suit, hang it up, out of reach of the mouse. If you can find a thick plastic garment bag, that would work even better. Just put stuff in the bottom of it or where ever the mouse could chew in to keep it from getting in. Then toss your head up above on a shelf. The worst place to store a suit is in a heap on the floor or in a tote. It needs to breath. Even the garment bag is bad, but for short terms, it'll work fine. - Lucky Dog ----- Original Message ----- From: kofutw To: fursuit-list at lists.fursuit.org Sent: Monday, September 21, 2009 12:01 PM Subject: Re: FL: Mouse attack emergency ! *worries* Other than it's nasty and blah, is there a way to identify mouse pee?

You will most likely see it. They often pee thin little dribbles while walking over things that are new to them, mainly if they are not alone. Generally, it would look like thin discolored yellowish lines. When mice are alone, they don't tend to pee much, but if there are multiple mice in the same area, they will often mark over each others scent. They more often mark each other than their surroundings. They also tend to mark very close to walls, where they walk, rather than out in the open. One the other hand, they will poop most anywhere, especially wherever they stop to eat. If they pooped on some fur, it probably means that they food some food in the house and carried it there to eat. Their poo is very tiny and relatively hard. Because it is tiny, it dries extra quickly, and usually leaves little to no smell. Their urine is rather strong though - sort of a mixture of cat pee scent and an almost popcorn like scent. You'll definitely know if there is urine. For the poo, I'd take the fur outside and shake it or beat it well. This should take care of most of the loose particles. Only after doing that would you want to spray the fur. If you spray the fur while the particles are still there, it would only soften the poo and make it stick in the fibers. I'd personally be more worried about fleas, or other pests, that some mice carry, than about the mice themselves. It's the fleas and other pests that some mice carry that can be dangerous to people. For spraying, use Enbac or Lysol. You could actually wash the fur, but the additional wear it puts on the fur probably isn't worth doing that. We probably get more undesirable stuff in our fur just by wearing and interacting with people than from what the mouse managed to do. Just imagine people at a con touching you, knowing that most of them probably haven't washed their hands in weeks, let alone after using the bathroom. That's not an exaggeration either. Most people simply don't wash their hands after making a poo. It's not like a mouse could even compete with the dirtiness of the average human! The $2 per can Enbac clone that was sold at Walmart, appears to have been discontinued. That was a product called "Great Value Disinfectant." They've replaced it with something that smells entirely different, about three months ago. Hopefully, this is just a temporary change, and they will start carrying the good stuff once again. I tried three different Walmarts, with no luck. -- _]\-/[_ galen at velocity.net (FoxWolfie Galen) =_^o^_= http://velocity.net/~galen/ ^U^ AIM: CubCoon From fuzzyroo at gmail.com Mon Sep 21 15:53:02 2009 From: fuzzyroo at gmail.com (Lucus Rocket) Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:53:02 -0500 Subject: FL: Mouse attack emergency ! *worries* In-Reply-To: References: <65207.20834.qm@web72204.mail.tp2.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <186b03790909211253r2f976977s258a9b595ee34722@mail.gmail.com> fox wolf, i would agree with the wear on the suit from washing it ONLY, and mind you, ONLY ONLY ONLY IF your machine washing it. HAND WASHING is much safer and nicer to all fabrics and is recommended for not only fur, but less durable materials like silk as well. please, DO NOT just spray lysol on any disease carrying matter, like mouse poo. word's can not describe how disgusting that notion is. As fursuiters i believe that there is a certain level of hygiene and cleanliness we need to uphold when dealing with public matters, and walking around a con or what ever with droppings covering your fur is well, horror movie level of icky. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A bit of San Francisco Gold Rush History (courtesy of Flint Otterhall) January 24, 2009 will be the 160th anniversary of the Calfornia Gold Rush. On that date in 1848, the first gold discovery in California took place at Sutter Mill. At the time, the population on San Francisco was 575 males, 177 females and 60 children. By September of 1848, the Gold dust price was set at $16 per ounce In the first 6 months of 1849 over 697 ships arrived in San Francisco Harbor. Steamers, Clipper ships, and all manner of vessels made the voyage. Many did not survive the journey around Cape Horn. The Steamer fare between San Francisco and Sacremento was $30 and took between 9 and 12 hours. The "Red Light District" of San Francisco was termed the Barbary Coast. By Dec 31st of 1849, the population of San Francisco was estimated at 100,000 including 35,000 people who came by sea, 3000 sailors who deserted ships and 42,000 who came overland. Over the next 17 years more money, opulence, bawdery, and economic growth took place in northern California than ever before, and perhaps even since. It was the first Boom/Bust cycle that still seems to echo in the Bay Area economy to this day. San Francisco at that day was a lively place. Gold, or placer digging as it was called, was at its height. Steamers plied daily between San Francisco and both Stockton and Sacramento. Passengers and gold from the southern mines came by the Stockton boat; from the northern mines by Sacramento. In the evening when these boats arrived, Long Wharf-there was but one wharf in San Francisco in 1852 was alive with people crowding to meet the miners as they came down to sell their "dust" and to "have a time." Of these some were runners for hotels, boarding houses or restaurants; others belonged to a class of impecunious adventurers, of good manners and good presence, who were ever on the alert to make the acquaintance of people with some ready means, in the hope of being asked to take a meal at a restaurant..." Ulysses S. Grant (1852) Would you like to see what future President Grant saw? Source: 10. Next Staff Meeting Our next staff meeting will be on October 10th, starting at 1 pm in the San Jose Fairmont. Parking is available in the surrounding area but is not free. The parking lot closest to the hotel will run $7 for the duration of the meeting. -- Further Confusion info at furtherconfusion.org From foxxinabox at wideopenwest.com Thu Oct 1 21:57:18 2009 From: foxxinabox at wideopenwest.com (Foxx (in a box)) Date: Thu, 01 Oct 2009 21:57:18 -0400 Subject: FL: Two-Tone Tail Help Suggestions Message-ID: <4AC55DFE.2020007@wideopenwest.com> I'm embarking on making a furrier fox tail but keep running into the same issue: the point where the colour and the white tip are sewn together is easily visible if the fur bends. Granted, it's not stuffed yet but it does make me wonder what other furs have done (if anything) to make this look like one smooth piece. I've noticed this is much more detectable with fur that contrasts more. And, yes, this is being hand sewn instead of machine. Is this something that can be treated by trimming down the underlaying white prior to sewing? Thanks for your input.

Wow...I don't like this video...at all...but knee-jerk > reactions on a governmental level such as this are LAME. Not yet, but what I mean is that it's already difficult enough to go out in suit in public places without having the security or police asking you what you are doing and such. Usually if you just comply to everything they ask for and explain to them calmly it's fine. But if the kind of behaviour like Remy Gaillard gets known and spreads, their first reaction will be to kick us out. In France Mascots are not very common, so if their first contact with a "mascot" / fursuit is Remy Gaillard, they're not really gonna be very receptive the next time they see one. Be it regular people or the police / security. That last outing of his in the zoo, simply ruins all chances to be able to perform there I'm afraid. As a general rule it's something to keep in mind when someone goes out in fursuit,it's fun , people love it, but that person has to keep in mind that his behaviour is going to imprint what people will think of fursuits. In France it's often their first contact with a fursuit. And well as we say the first impression tends to last forever. It's already enough to give a good image because of all the bad press crap, so now we have also a crazy performer around beating everyone and stealing and so on to deal with.

Not necessarily, if the zoo is presented with an offer by furs as professional performers that are licensed and bonded street performers things could be worked out. That is if Remy Gaillard did not do that to get the costumes into the zoo in the first place. If that is what he did there is no hope they would be fools to let it happen again. It might be worth the expense of becoming licensed and bonded street performers to undo the damage that he and other copycats might do just to bring fursuits into a very positive light there in France. Here in San Francisco there is a group called "Critters By The Bay" that does something like that.

The best method I have found is this 1. Mark where you want the zip on the back of the fur fabric with chalk. Markers are fine but remember you want to keep the opening area as uncolored as possible. A marker could stain the edges of the cut fabric and thus make it noticable. 2. Using contact glue give a light coating on the back of the fur fabric where the zip will be, making sure that there is enought to glue the zip down. 3. If using an invisible zip put a light coating of contact glue on the fabric or invisible side, or with a normal zip just the two fabric sides. 4. Place the zip onto the fur fabric - pressing down to make sure that the contact glue connects and seals. This not only holds the zip in place before sewing but also keeps the edges of the fur fabric down where one cannot easily sew. 5. With matching thread - hand sew a running stitch along each side of the zip as close to the teeth as possible. Repeat this about 5mm's away from the first line of stitches for additional strenght. 6. Carefully slide open the zip to reveal the fur fabric underneath and with a very sharp knief or single sided razor blade cut the opening. When the zip is closed you should see very little change to the fur on the outside. The use of contact glue both holds the zip as well as seals the underlying fur fabric edges. If the zip handle is too prominant then a small fur fabric flap can be added to hide this. Hope this helps some folks. Marc -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The best method I have found is this 1. Mark where you want the zip on the back of the fur fabric with chalk. Markers are fine but remember you want to keep the opening area as uncolored as possible. A marker could stain the edges of the cut fabric and thus make it noticable. 2. Using contact glue give a light coating on the back of the fur fabric where the zip will be, making sure that there is enought to glue the zip down. 3. If using an invisible zip put a light coating of contact glue on the fabric or invisible side, or with a normal zip just the two fabric sides. 4. Place the zip onto the fur fabric - pressing down to make sure that the contact glue connects and seals. This not only holds the zip in place before sewing but also keeps the edges of the fur fabric down where one cannot easily sew. 5. With matching thread - hand sew a running stitch along each side of the zip as close to the teeth as possible. Repeat this about 5mm's away from the first line of stitches for additional strenght. 6. Carefully slide open the zip to reveal the fur fabric underneath and with a very sharp knief or single sided razor blade cut the opening. When the zip is closed you should see very little change to the fur on the outside. The use of contact glue both holds the zip as well as seals the underlying fur fabric edges. If the zip handle is too prominant then a small fur fabric flap can be added to hide this. Hope this helps some folks.

These are quality lenses ground in a professional laboratory. The company I work with pride themselves in providing the highest standards, and our equipment is state of the art (Nidek, Shamir, Innovations). What I am offering is for you to provide your perscription, and the distance between your eyeball and where you wish to mount the lense and we can calculate the optical changes and grind the lenses to those parameters. You will be dealing directly with the laboratory via myself (So I can monitor the progress of the production and advise re the inlab testing of the lenses). We have in the past ground lenses that will fit into IPOD video glasses so that the wearer can use the miniture TV spec without needing their own glasses. We have also ground lenses that go into scuba masks, special safety lenses. If you want - you can talk to your own medical people re changing the perscription so that the glasses are essentially further from your face like in a mask. They will be happy to do that for you however you will find the price considerable. As for the costs - we grind the lenses so we are the people who do the work.. So essentually you are getting the items at wholesale price rather than going through several resellers. Multicoating and tinting will be extra, and we can only do a single focus as calculating progressive or bi-focals without physically having the suit and the wearer there will be too difficult. Hopes this help. I can provide the name of the lab upon request however as we are a wholesaler our advertising and marketing is not web based (we do not want to be seen as competing with our customers - the optomertrists who send work to us) Take Care Marc -----Original Message----- From: fursuit-list-bounces at lists.fursuit.org [mailto:fursuit-list-bounces at lists.fursuit.org]On Behalf Of Aiden Raccoon Sent: Friday, 25 December 2009 04:02 To: fursuit-list at lists.fursuit.org Subject: Re: FL: Fursuits and Glasses Ok, I'm not trying to be a party pooper or anything but please be sure that you do this deal totally under the table.

Clementine: A History ----------------------------- 1. Fursuit Badge Photographs If you have a fursuit, are pre-registered, and would like a fursuit badge, here's what to do. Check out for what you need to do to get a fursuit badge. 2. Con Book Art/Story winners Thanks again to all who entered the con book story/art contest this year. The winners this year received a patron membership to the convention: Art winners: - Truro the Lost for "Dance-Hall Gal", partial-page illustration - Zaos for "Blazing Sunset", partial-page illustration Writing winner: - John Barberio for "Little Wah & the Golden Dragon's Roar" Congratulations to all! 3. One-day Con Badge Prices We'd love to have everybody for the whole con, but if you can only stay a day we've got day badges! See below for the price of a day badge for each day of the convention; they can be bought at Registration at the con itself. Thu: $20 Fri: $25 Sat: $30 Sun: $25 Mon: $20 4. Dealers Room The Dealers Room is sold out, however we were able to send out a round of invites to our waiting list. If you were on our waiting list, please check your email, as you might have received a table offer from us! If we don't hear back from those people we sent offers to, we -might- have a table left. And if any cancellations happen, that would also free up a table for the waiting list. 5. Furry Market Place Sales of the Furry Market Place spaces are now closed. No more spaces will be sold. If you still want to sell things at Further Confusion 2010 and you don't have a space in the main Dealer Room or the Furry Market Place, then your only chance is if someone else cancels AND you have sent in a Waiting List application (available on the Dealer Page of the Further Confusion 2010 website). 6. Overflow Hotel - The Sainte Claire Our overflow hotel this year is the historic The Sainte Claire Hotel, located across the street from the Fairmont. The room rate is $119 per night. Reservations can be by calling the hotel directly at (408) 295-2000 or toll free (866) 870-0726 and asking for the Fur Con rate. The hotel is just a few hundred feet from the con and each room offers refrigerators, DVD players, and complimentary wireless internet (some rooms also have a wired port). 7. Gold Strike at Further Confusion 2010! It's true ladies and gents. I saw the first nuggets today and I assayed them as genuine gold nuggets from the strike area in Northern California. It has been said that every member who manages to make it to Further Confusion 2010, even as a mere attendee, will get a sample from their claim. Now you folks know that a good claim is worth more than stock in the Pacific Union Railway, but many of those are just dead end tracks. Be sure and check your tailings bag you will receive at Registration. Most will sadly just have the illusion of Fools Gold, but for 30 lucky claim owners, their bags will contain a genuine Northern California Gold nugget of approximately 1 g. 8. Parking at the Fairmont Parking for FC2010 can be really cheap, or even free! This all depends on your arrival and departure times and careful examination of the fee and time schedules for the public parking lots. Check out our Parking Information page at for more details. 9. Complimentary High-Speed Internet Access at the Fairmont A reminder for those who have booked rooms at the Fairmont: Be sure to join Fairmont's President's Club. There are many benefits including express check-in, free local calls, and perhaps most importantly, complimentary in-room Internet. Enrollment is free. Follow this link to sign up. 10. Further Confusion 2010 Night Time Dance Schedule Once again, we have great things planned for the dances at Further Confusion. Since we've moved into a great new hotel which offers us more convention space than ever before, we've also expanded on the dances. In addition to the dance music we'll have in the Imperial Ballroom, there's another great space (looks like a mini-ballroom) known as the Club Regent where we'll also be having music of different genres. We are lucky to have so many talented DJ's and musicians, both professional and amateur, donating their time and skills to perform for you. They all do this for the love of the music and the fandom. We will also be bringing back "Live! Action! Drawing!" This is the big easel on the stage during the dances. Instead of scheduling artists in advance, we thought it would be fun to find artists at the time. So if you're an artist and you're at the dance and interested in doing some drawing, find the pink and green bunny and let him know. In the next few weeks, keep an eye out on the forums and elsewhere for full bios on all the DJ's/musicians and details of the different dance events. The Dance schedule can be found on our website at 11. Next Staff Meeting Our next staff meeting will be on January 9th, starting at 1 pm in the San Jose Fairmont. The final meeting will be on January 16th at the same time and is mandatory for all staff. Parking is available in the surrounding area but is not free. The parking lot closest to the hotel will run $7 for the duration of the meeting. 12. Clementine: A History Oh My Darling, Clementine is an American western folk ballad usually credited to Percy Montrose (1884), even though it's sometimes referred to Barker Bradford. The song is believed to have been based on another song called Down by the River Liv'd a Maiden by H. S. Thompson (1863). Clementine's grieving admirer originally used her first name in the song. After singing the new song to the deceased's family relation they objected to the use of her first name, embarrassed that people would then know their own daughter could not swim. To make the family happy the maiden fair's real last name was used and changed slightly in order to rhyme with other words in the song. Clements was the real last name of the maiden fair; she was born in America to the descendant English noble family (relation to Captain Benjamin Clements of Virginia) with intermarried maternal blood lines to Scottish Royalty. During the 1800s women of this family were renowned for their natural captivating beauty which caught the eye of the song's creator. Lady Clements fell into the water near her own home and drowned because she did not know how to swim. Although Clementine's Father was not truly a 49er he was a farmer, this portion was added due to the popularity of the gold rush at the time and its ability to rhyme in the song. The words are those of a bereaved lover singing about his darling, the daughter of a miner in the 1849 California Gold Rush. He loses her in a drowning accident, though he consoles himself towards the end of the song with Clementine's "little sister". The verse about the little sister was often left out of folk song books intended for children, presumably because it seemed morally questionable. Another theory is that the song is from the view of Clementine's father, and not a lover. Gerald Brenan attributes the melody to originally being an old Spanish ballad in his book South from Granada. It was made popular by Mexican miners during the Gold Rush. It was also given various English texts. No particular source is cited to verify that the song he used to hear in the 1920s in a remote Spanish village was not an old text with new music, but Brenan states in his preface that all facts mentioned in the book have been checked reasonably well. Lyrics In a cavern, in a canyon, Excavating for a mine Dwelt a miner forty niner, And his daughter Clementine Oh my darling, oh my darling, Oh my darling, Clementine! Thou art lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine Light she was and like a fairy, And her shoes were number nine, Wearing boxes, without topses, Sandals were for Clementine. Oh my darling, oh my darling, Oh my darling, Clementine! Thou art lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine Drove the ducklings to the water Ev'ry morning just at nine, Hit her foot against a splinter, Fell into the foaming brine. Oh my darling, oh my darling, Oh my darling, Clementine! Thou art lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine Ruby lips above the water, Blowing bubbles, soft and fine, But, alas, I was no swimmer, So I lost my Clementine. Oh my darling, oh my darling, Oh my darling, Clementine! Thou art lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine How I missed her! How I missed her, How I missed my Clementine, But I kissed her little sister, I forgot my Clementine. -- Further Confusion info at furtherconfusion.org
