So, who's going to ConClave and FurFright this year? Both cons are just around the corner!
The first con, ConClave, is a science fiction/furry/goth convention held in Detroit, Michigan from October 12th to the 14th. It is considered the "home convention" of the Dorsai Irregulars, many of whom live in that area and will be in attendance. Many of the Michigan area furries will also be attending. Their website is at
http://www.conclavesf.org/. The few pictures I took last year can be found
here.
The next con, FurFright, is a Halloween-themed furry convention held in Connecticut from the 19th to the 21st. This will be their fifth year as a convention. Some of the Dorsai Irregulars will be attending this convention too, as they will be providing convention security services for FurFright this coming year. Of course, since the convention is purely a furry convention, the security roster will consist mostly of furries, with
golum,
toracub,
unclekage, and myself among them. Their website is at
http://www.furfright.org/ and pictures from last year's FurFright can be found
here.
Finally, since this will be FurFright's first year at its new venue, I figured I would include some pictures of the place from a site visit we made last spring:
The front entrance of the hotel:
The bar area just off the main entrance. This will be registration and Con Ops:
The atrium inside the center of the hotel. A nice place for gathering and hanging out:
One of the function rooms:
Another one of the function rooms in the process of being cleared out:
