Garden State Fur the Weekend 2024
Just dropping a quick post about the New Jersey convention I attended this past Saturday. I had heard about it pretty recently and it’s within driving distance so I figured I’d attend, first furry convention since the whole lockdown thing.
I attended Leaf Dubois’ panel on his Raccoony webcomic (formerly known as Closet Coon). Was interesting to hear his process, and honestly it’s been a long time since I read that comic… then again the issues are spread over years because they came out so sporadically. A little distracting though listening to him because in room next door was a Kids Meet & Greet event.
Speaking of kids, holy shit there were a lot of them. As shy_matsi explained, a lot of furs had kids and now they’re bringing them into fandom events.
Speaking of Shy, had a wonderful time chatting with him and tjcoyote at the VR panel.
As mentioned above, attended the VR panel. I’ve never been involved in that growing technology but looks pretty nifty.
Walked around the Dealer’s Den and Game Room, got some nice pictures of fursuits. Essentially just hung out there awhile before heading back, been so exhausted on weekends trying to catch up on lost sleep from going into the office more so I didn’t feel like I could stay the whole day… as it was I was definitely feeling it on the ride back and felt like I was riding on fumes and caffeine by the end of the trip lol.
Fun time of course, will definitely try and attend next year and maybe get a room so I can also incorporate some fursuiting.
