First, a bit of post-FurBQ 2018 update. Really, I think our reaction can best be described as "pleasantly knocked over with a feather", on just how many different kinds of energy filled our event with love and encouraged positive experience. The event was an even larger turnout, due to all the furs…
Rolling through March, we have stayed behind the scenes making sure we really consider what we plan for this year's annual FurBQ. Without further ado, we can now say that we have secured our spot. SoCal Furs' 20th annual FurBQ is happening this Fall, on Saturday November 10th. We will have plenty o…
Can it finally be "Spring" yet? While recent SoCal weather has yet to decide, we look at March as when things start to happen. Well, we can only speak for ourselves when we say that. Really, for the Southern California area, this is a year round thing. ;) Looking on recent weeks, I can say that eve…
The first bits of the Santa Ana winds are licking at our mountaintop, and that reminds us admins that it is Winter Time. Last weekend, the holiday season kicked off with a celebration of lights. Furry event organizers from all over SoCal have more in store for you during the coldest months, and som…
The signs of fall are here but I admit it kind of snuck up on me. Really, October waits for no one. Among restoration of our event galleries, we also had a good helping of new events to add to our calendar. Within that mix, there were more than just a couple events geared towards Halloween folly...…
Sometimes when you find something that is so much fun…. you just gotta bring a friend (or two… or three…). The sheer experience of organizing something this big for this many people is astounding. With a few breaths taken, we have our post-FurBQ report.. http://socalfurs.com/fuzzy-frolic-with-socal…
Labor Day has given way for rainstorms (yes… in August) and it has drawn us inside. While we have been cooped up, we have begun the annual “crunch time for FurBQ”. Stego and Kat have been looking over supplies, making lists and otherwise keeping track of all that awaits us in 3 weeks. We got the re…
March has come and we find ourselves with this long awaited piece of news concerning our annual event. While all that wonky webpage stuff was happening, Stego and Kat have been checking into whats possible for FurBQ 2017. As many know, FurBQ traditionally happened in the spring months. However, wit…
Welcome back everyone! Feel like its been a while since I updated, but many of you might know why. SoCal Furs (.com) suffered a bit of a loss to its database structure, and we found that we needed to take the site down and re-group. Consider what you see now our new(or new-ish) website. Apologies f…
It would appear that there is a Facebook page that has posted an event for Spring. While SoCal Furs encourages all sorts of events (esp great events in our wonderful local regional parks), we feel that we need to make people aware that such a spring event is not being held by us even though they se…
Its the week of Thanksgiving and plans are afoot for many of us as far as visiting those we call "family" for the holidays. While we do have some annual events for this time of year, we'd like to see our calendar with more events like this. Know of a meet that is coming up? Is it public (vs invite-…
Well! That sure was fun! Over a week later, we can now say we have recovered from the SoCal Furs End of Summer FurBQ. In fact, we have been using the week to reflect and take it all in.... As usual, FurBQ began at 3:30 when our alarm sounded, we hopped out of bed, and got into our pre-packed car. M…
Hey there.... sorry for some extreme silence. Admittedly, stegosaurus and I have been caught up with work and also working to bring some developments in the next months. However, the one thing that has been on our minds for the last few weeks is our upcoming annual event. This is our traditional ev…
In a swirl of suitcases and action packers, we return home just a bit more refreshed than when we left for Califur 2016. The convention was a combination of old ideas and a new setting to put it all in. Admittedly, we did not have a SIG/panel there at the con this year (first time in a long time) s…
Sadly for the first time in 18 years, The Official SoCalFurs FurBQ was Rained Out. We had gotten to our designated Group area right at 6AM, Right where the major downpour had just started. Mud mud, everywhere!! We scouted the area, and noted the amount of mud that was accumulating all around the ta…
We are expecting a great turnout and a successful event, but we need a bit of extra help this year due to new Reservation Fees. Some of these fees were covered thanks to a generous donation, but paying the remaining fees reduced our ability to purchase ‘seed goods’ (the starting food and supplies t…
As a quick announcement: The 2016 SoCalFurs Furbeque will be on Saturday, May 7th! While it was not the winner of the poll, the May 21st date was not available to us at the time of our booking. (Looks like someone reserved the spot before we did) May 7th was the next most popular date chosen - and…
The furry world has been laying in anticipation of the latest “furry movie”, and now that wait is over.Zootopia screenings have made up a majority of our calendar for this weekend, and we have put together a comphrensive list of all the SoCal based Zootopia meets (that we know of) for those who may…
One of the things done during that trip to the Prancing Skiltaire was to visit Irvine Regional Park to get the scoop on what could be in store for the SocalFurs FurBQ this spring. In talking to the ranger on Saturday, we learned one thing …. our FurBQ is definitely going to require us to plan even…
While SoCalFurs has worked to promote events organized by and in the Southern California area, we would like to experiment with something which we believe is long overdue. For long time members of the furry fandom, you might remember the simple HTML page that began life for our socalfurs.com domain…
Holidays are upon us. In just 2 days, many of us will be visiting family (blood or otherwise) and feasting on turkey, ham, and other tasty and traditional treats. For us, 2015 has us celebrating Thanksgiving somewhere different... by taking a trip to New York City. While the holidays have never aff…
Sunday morning came and we have become the walking dead. Stego and I will be spending today just recovering from a full day of bringing the fun of Fall FurBQ back for the masses. We had awoken at 3:30 and tackled the day, hardly ever sitting down. Now that it is catching up to us, we can thank our…
Kat here, checking in with some highlights of our upcoming events. Looks like this year, the Halloween events got planned (or at least submitted to us) just a bit later than usual. Updating this site alongside my new full-time job probably hasnt helped either but I really am glad I have the chance…
This poll was definitely a close one. October 24th closed with 16 votes, with the choice of November 14th coming out on top with 17 votes. So, Fall FurBQ is official. Please share this link with your friends and lets plan for some fun this fall! http://www.socalfurs.com/event/socal-fall-furbq-2015…
The summer has been filled with great outdoor events and we have seen a few different kinds of "furry nightlife" forming here in SoCal. However, we are just beginning to see the signs that summer is coming to an end -- a bit of cooler weather and even some color change in our mountains. Whether goi…
Hi all! Coming up quickly - a little less than two weeks - is Califur, Southern California Furry's own convention, and that means time for the Socalfurs Annual Meeting! The Annual Meeting will be in the Berkely/Anaheim Room on Saturday, from 9:15 til 10:30 - a bit early, so bring in coffee! Topics…
FurBQ has come and gone. Here is our after-action report, which contains useful information, photo links, and statistics for our annual event: http://www.socalfurs.com/post-socalfurbq-summary/
I thought April 1st would never end, but now we can announce what you have all been waiting for -- the results of our FurBQ poll. Our poll closed at the end of March and we had a bit of a tight race. After calculating all the stats from our poll (and removing any duplicates and out-of-region/countr…
It is that time again -- when we start thinking about fun in the sun, sharing food with friends and enjoying the day at Irvine Regional Park. Our event may be a month or two away (depending on our poll results), but this is about the time of year when we start thinking about dates and getting our i…
Last summer, we at SoCalFurs got word of a change to our Fall FurBQ event. During that summer, Leotigers (the organizer for the event) found himself with new employment opportunities. However, this meant that, come fall, Leotigers would be packing up a moving van and heading to Colorado.For many wh…
Yes! It has happened. Further Confusion is here. Furs are packing, preparing and maybe panicking (just a little). Some of you have been packing your cars full of fursuits, luggage and people and are making that lovely drive up the Grapevine towards one of the largest conventions in the United State…
I have just been given word that the monthly La Habra Bowling Event has been cancelled for the next 2 months. the holidays coming up, Angel has chosen to cancel the events for November (tomorrow) and December (would have been Saturday 12/27). Very sorry that I did not get this out sooner. Looks lik…
Yeah, better late than never, eh?# After talking to furs from all over Southern California, I managed to form this small list of furry events for Halloween. So, pack your bag of tricks (and maybe a fursuit) and plan for your Halloween adventure..... Anpu42’s Halloween Meet-n-Greet (Riverside, CA) -…
Back in August, I began putting out feelers to the organizer of the SoCal Fall FurBQ. Just like the one that we throw every spring, Fall FurBQ’s dates are different from year to year. I have always encouraged getting events posted to this calendar with as much advance notice as possible, especially…
At one time, Labor Day signified the end of summer for many. Whether going back to school or getting ready for all the fall happenings, many of us must "get back" to something. However, things will start cooling down here in SoCal (well, by our standards) and its time to get ready for Fall. Los Ang…
August has come and the dog days of summer are upon us. Things got a bit hectic here, leaving me with only an hour or so to do work on the website. So many great events, you make it hard for a girl to catch up. Regardless, our calendar has been updated and you will find many events added for this A…
