As you may know, Connecticut's FurPocalypse is heading into it's second year this weekend! I, of course, am super excited for this upcoming convention! Last year's con was a blast. I would expect this year to not disappoint, either.

I'll be arriving at the hotel the con will be taking place at on Thursday afternoon/evening. I'll leave Waltham at around 9:30AM, if not sooner, to do a few errands before arriving at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Cromwell. I'll be buying tickets to see the New England Black Wolves at the Mohegan Sun Arena, visiting the Barker Character Comic and Cartoon Museum in Cheshire, CT, and possibly visiting a friend in New Britain while in the area, before arriving at the hotel.

Either than commisioning a few artists in the Dealer's Room, there are a few panels and such I plan on attending, including the Sponsor/Dealer Social, the NE Furs Meet and Greet, the character creation panel, and a few others.

Two things to note about:

First,

You may have already heard about OklaCon seizing operations due to a disgusting incident there, and RainFurrest was exiled out of their venue, the Hilton, due to incidents such as property damage, a flooded bathroom with hot tub pumps stuffed with towels,people sent to the hospital, and complaints from hotel staff about noise. Hopefully, Rainfurrest can find a new venue to have the convention in.

It's a shame conventions like these have to discontinue because of attendees causing problems. We love going to these conventions and don't want to lose them. However, in order to keep these fur cons from closing up shop, not only do we need to respect venue property, not harass or disturb other people there, and behave in a level-headed manner, but also, if you see anyone causing trouble, report it to con staff, when necessary. We don't want to make the hotel staff upset and have the convention's landlord boot us out!

Second,

The person who booked the room at the Crowne Plaza Hotel I'm staying at had to eject two people out of roomshare because of how disrespectful they have been to the one who booked the room. One of the two ejectees posted tweets on Twitter and a journal on FA about how angry he was over the decision the one booking the room made about removing the two from roomshare. I was disgusted with this kid's comments, all the drama he's puking out, all the insults toward the person who booked the room, man...... It seems they both really got on this person's bad side, which must be really difficult to do, knowing the person who booked the room. I think they should both apologize to him for what they've done. If either or them start any trouble with anyone at FP, they could get their con badges pulled and thrown out of the con. For those that know about this issue, you can talk about it here, but one little thing that I ask is not to bring up the names of the two offenders my friend had to put up with, because I don't want any potential trouble from either of those two, nor do we want anyone potentially starting trouble with either of them.

Alright, now that I've gotten that all cleared and out of the way, SEE YOU ALL THERE!!!
