Furry Connection North
I just registered for Furry Connection North, and you should too!
Sponsorships (aka "pimp"-level memberships) are only $50, and regular memberships for the entire convention are only $25. I would recommend a Pimp Membership though, because where else can you find a sponsor lounge that has beer?
The hotel (the Ann Arbor Best Western Executive Plaza) is very affordable, too. King rooms are available at the low price of $67/night and Double rooms are $75/night. Plus, the hotel is quite lovely. I know, I've been there before. Last year's Dorsai Thing was held there.
So how about getting there? The nearest airport is Detroit's airport (DTW). I can't speak for the rest of the country, but flying there from Philly is incredibly cheap. Like, $200 cheap if you order your tickets well in advance. Plus, since that route (PHL-DTW) isn't too popular, that means there is space in the first class cabin if you want to upgrade. I've upgraded every single time I've flown to Detroit for only $50.
tl;dr: inexpensive membership, inexpensive hotel, and an inexpensive trip. What reason is there NOT to attend Furry Connection North?
I'll see you there. :-)
