Furry.Weekend.Atlanta








parking at the Sheraton Hotel for two hours: $4
crashing a Furry convention: fucking priceless

We pulled into the parking lot and saw a bunch of people walking around in normal clothing...til we spotted that they were wearing tails. Then we got really giddy and tried to come up with a plan to sneak in.



We went up the elevators, overheard that there would be a dance party on the second floor. We went to one of the ballrooms where some dude was playing a keyboard and singing badly, with some kind of shitty windows media player visualizations on a screen. I couldn't stand it, so we got outta there.



We just walked around and in our lame attempt to blend in, we went to one of the art rooms where furry artists displayed their creations. I didn't take any pics of their work cause I think that would've been rude. The range was from color pencil drawings that look like a five year old did it, and some were really good airbrush paintings of naked furry chicks.



Later we found out the party would be in that same room that the bad singer was in, and you couldn't get in without a badge. We're like shit so we snuck through the back stairways. We ended up at the back of the stage and just casually walked in, found a seat right in the front.



And the spectacle begins. I can't even describe it, but I wasn't freaked out. I am too immune by the internets.



Just in case you thought this was just a white person thing.



ok seriously why would you bring a kid to this?



I don't know why fucking Beetlejuice was there.



They had a dance contest.



These two were dancing to NIN's Closer lol. They were a hit with the audience.



Brian signing the FWA banner.



We are forever immortalized.



The last thing we did was go up to the third floor and steal these stickers off one of the doors. The inhabitants of the room was walking ahead of us and as soon as they went inside, we ripped them and ran like hell.

Throughout the whole thing no one really bothered us, even though I think it was kinda obvious we didn't fit in. We chatted with some of them, sometimes we'd say that we were there for the convention. They were your typical nerds who probably shop at Hot Topic a lot and play WOW when they're not dressing up as raccoons. And there were some middle-aged men there too, which was creepy on many levels. Next year we are crashing, cause fuck paying like $40. But we're so getting costumes. Or at least tails.


enjoy.


LOLOLOL how appropriate is this song? I was dying when it came on cause it reminded me of ytmnd.

I'm betting every other person was there to make fun of the weirdos. Then, they're joining in to further make fun of the weirdos. Then before they know it, they are the weirdos.

Is this what happens when the "Star Trek" universe gets stalled out?

I saw this person at Ohayocon in January when I had to chaperone my brother:



The pink cat-thing with bootie shorts and huge boobs. The head was kind of cool because the jaw moves.
But.. terrifying. Furry and Anime conventions are terrifying.

Why am I not surprised this was here in Atlanta? Because a bunch of them came to DragonCon! And rolled around in the floor of the Hyatt lobby for no apparent reason.

Here's a photo of three of them doing exactly that. Perhaps I've just not noticed, but this year was the first time I had seen them at the convention.

Dude, this is how it starts! They're all "Ha ha ha, wasn't that funny? Let's just go in to look for a few minutes!"


Then the funny animal purchases pile up.



AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

#1) best. honestly tho I cant help but look past the furries and see that random HUGE fat chick dancing around with no rythm whatsoever.
#2) again, fat chick. This time just standing there while others dance around her. I am amused.
#3) Do you think like.. the people watching were like "ugnn fap fap" or what

Incredible, answered all of my questions about how rad that possibly could have been. However aren't conventions supposed to be about the late night drinking/drug binges and after parties?

I'm glad to hear your encounter with the furrys was fun and not too scary.

My friends and I had bad experiences with them. They're quite prevalent in the Silicon Valley area (guess who's making sure your server stays up...) We knew some of them... thought, OK, that's weird, but kinda quirky and amusing. Then my friend moves in with two of them- nice enough guys both. They clean up after themselves and are conscientious and all that.

Then they throw a house party. Which turns into a furry party. Weird enough but whatever.

Then when the party is over, around 3 AM my friend (their roommate) goes downstairs for a drink of water. Flips on the light and sees some random guy fucking another guy in the ass on his couch while both are wearing nothing but their furry animal heads. After a moment of shock he just turns off the light and silently heads upstairs.

Scarred for life, man. Scarred for life.

um i think this is the best post you have ever written. i just fucking died. why oh why is that kid there??? so wrong!

in my science fiction lit class back at uconn, we got into a discussion about genetics and what will happen when people can actually change their own genes (like in the movie "gattaca"). my professor was the one to point out that when that happens, the furries will be the first in line so their offspring can have REAL fur!! SO DISTURBING!!!!!!!!!!
