I was just at th mnfurs spring picnic last weekend that was awesome too not a con but just as cool. It was there 10 year so it was an overnight. I met some super cool furs. There was one dude there, a husky named sky, and when he found out it was my first mnfurs event he took me around to everybody and Introduced me to rhem and made them take pics for me. That dude was awesome
If you go not really sure whats going on somebody will help you out. I was at mff about 20 minutes and furs were coming up to me asking if I had questions cause I looked confused
The midnight howls are just plain awesome

Art shows and Dealers Den are cool too, but after sitting in the dealers den once for three days straight I decided I'd rather go see what happens at the con than draw the entire day... What I do must of the time anyways.

I went to Further Confusion 2012 and 2013. I thought it was overhyped upon both occasions, never going back again. Everyone at the con is usually in a click group that you cannot join unless you already knew them online.Wow I'm sorry you had that experience! That sucks. Maybe a different fur con would do ya better

I loved MFF it was one of the coolest things ive ever been to. I kinda met kage and 2 gryphon, I say kinda because there was like 15 other people standing there talking to them. And I met alot of people some of which I still chat with. bring a back pack though you're gonna want something to carry stuff in. The dealers den was awesome but I went broke in there, so much furryOmg thanks for your input! That sounds so awesome. I can't wait to go now *______*

Here is my advice on how to have the most fun at a con
1. Know someone there and get their number. Several times during a con you may not know where any of your friends are and you might not know what to do. Being able to text your friends and ask what they're up to can help you significantly in these situations and will make sure you're in a constant bout of fun! I cannot stress how important it is, cause otherwise you may feel overwhelmed or lonely
2. Don't be shy to meet new people! See someone with a cool fursuit or someone relaxing, talk to them! Furry conventions are as much about meeting new people as they are about meeting old friends, just say hi, get their online details and have a blast.
3. The best fun in furry conventions isn't necessarily the convention itself! Try to get invited to a room party or something, they can be a huge blast and you can get up to all sorts of crazy shenanigans. That's not to say you should AVOID the main furry activities, by all means you should attend any events that interest you! But just remember that sometimes the best fun happens behind the scenes.
4. Don't forget to sleep, drink and eat healthy once and a while! You can get sick in cons really quickly and trust me, by the second or third day you'll feel exhausted, so don't over work yourself, drink plenty of water and try to get at least six hours of sleep a night!

/me sobs violently
I wanna go to one sooooo baaaaaad. I missed one in Portland a few years back, but I've never had the opportunity since. I just want to meet more folks in the fandom personally rather than from behind my computer.
