Coming to my hometown in a few weeks, people dressed in fury costumes. Why you ask? Do you really have to ask, I mean, come on, people love to dress in fury costumes.
Here is what the official website says: "Anthrocon is the world's largest convention for those fascinated with anthropomorphics, which are humanlike animal characters. We are a collection of artists, animators, writers, costumers, puppeteers, and just everyday fans who enjoy cartoon animals and their kin. This Summer we will convene at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA, from June 24-27, 2010 for workshops, panel discussions, an art exhibition and a dealer room, and much more! Membership is open to any and all who like to imagine what it would be like if animals could walk and talk as we do."
Yeah!
Last fourth of July the kids and I stumbled upon this convention. Great people, tales, costumes, just a lot of love in the air. If you want to come, let me know, we could all costume up together and have a ball.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm one of the organizers of Anthrocon. Just wanted to point out (in case you weren't aware) that if you pre-register before the convention, you can save $5 off of the cost of membership. Also, costumes are not required--only about 15% of our attendees have costumes of any kind. :-)
