Rocket City FurMeet, known as RCFM, is an annual furry convention in Huntsville, Alabama, USA that meets over Memorial Day weekend. It was started in 2003 by Brody Catsmouth, KO, and members of North Alabama Regional Furs. From the beginning, the meet was held at the Radisson Suite Hotel on South Memorial Parkway in Huntsville, Alabama. In 2009, the meet was held in the Embassy Suites Hotel and Spa on Monroe Street near the downtown core of Huntsville.[1] RCFM has numerous food events and is well known for striving to keep guests well-fed. RCFM is funded through the 501(c)7 corporation "Rocket City FurMeet, Incorporated."

[edit] Name
Huntsville is known as "Rocket City" because it is home to the US Space and Rocket Center and its famous Space Camp, Marshall Space Flight Center, and Redstone Arsenal. Wernher von Braun and many of his team worked on much of their rocket while living in Huntsville, AL.
[edit] Wheel of Blame
The con has a "Wheel of Blame" with every RCFM staffer's name on it. The wheel, which was introduced at the second RCFM, is spun during the opening ceremonies and whoever's name it lands upon receives all the blame for any problems and mishaps during the entire con (aka Staff Member X). The wheel is then spun again at the closing ceremonies and whoever's name it lands upon is blamed for any problems the staff has until next year's convention.
