== History ==

The event was created by a group of furries (most of them [[fursuiter|fursuiters]]) who thought that few events would be held in São Paulo area during the first half of 2014, specially in places where [[fursuiting]] is likely. There was also the desire to accomplish something similar to events held in bowling alleys in the [[wikipedia:en:United States of America|United States]] and/or abroad.

==Trivia==
* Furboliche was featured in a TV report from [[Wikipedia:Telesur|Telesur]] TV (Venezuela) about fursuits and fursuiters.
* Parts of Furboliche 3 and Furboliche Vacation Edition videos were recorded days after the event.
* The joke "Jump over Claisto" featured in all Furboliche videos as a recurring joke is somewhat a tradition among Brazilian furries in all events Claisto appears with his fursuit.
* The first name for the event was "São Paulo Furbowling", Coby Wong came with the actual and smaller name: "Furboliche".
* Furboliche 5 - Heroes & Villains, with 261 atendees (including 62 fursuiters), is considered the biggest furry event ever held in Latin America and, at the time, the biggest furry bowling event in the world, surpassed by [[When_Furballs_Strike|When Furballs Strike]] few months later.<ref name="Interview with Kijani Lion">[http://dogpatch.press/2016/12/12/furry-bowling-furlifenw/ Interview with Kijani Lion] on DogPatch Website.

'''Brasil FurFest''', or '''BFF''', is the first hotel-based [[furry]] [[convention]] to happen in Brazil. It was first held over September 9-11, 2016, in the city of [[w:Santos,_São_Paulo|Santos,]] [[w:Brazil|Brazil]].<ref name="Brasil FurFest Official Announcement">[http://www.brasilfurfest.com.br BFF website]. Retrieved February 7, 2016.</ref>. Third iteration will be held from August 17-19, 2018 at the same place. Brasil FurFest is a member of [[FLEF]], group of Brazilian furry events.

== History ==
[[file:Bffannouncement.jpg|left|thumb|Official announcement during Furboliche 5]]
[[Furboliche]] (São Paulo's Furry bowling event) founders had the idea of organizing a furry convention in Santos back in 2014.
The proposed name was "Confursão" (abbreviation for Convenção Furry de São Paulo, Portuguese for São Paulo's Furry Convention).
Due to lack of experience, they decided to postpone the convention and started Furboliche instead, to acquire know-how and to understand the dynamics of local furry fandom.

After Brazil's camping-based furry convention [[Abando]] announced 2016 would be its last year,<ref name="Flayrah">[https://www.flayrah.com/6391/brazilian-furry-convention-be-abando-ned-after-2016 "Brazilian furry convention to be Abando-ned after 2016"] on Flayrah. Retrieved February 7, 2016.</ref> the staff of Furboliche decided to review their plans. They announced they would start a hotel-based furry convention, to prevent Brazil from lacking any multi-day events.
Proposed name "Confursão" was withdrawn and it was replaced by "Brasil FurFest" to avoid similarities with a famous furmeet called "Confuria".

The official announcement of Brasil FurFest was done on February 13th, 2016, at Furboliche 5 event. Before traditional fursuit raffle, the staff showed BFF's logo and announced the convention would start as a crowdfunding with a goal of R$ 6,000 (around US$ 1,500) for the basic costs of renting conference rooms and producing conbook, badges and other stuff. Further goals for crowdfunding campaign were later presented for adding more conference rooms or renting party bus in case of bigger donations.
Videos and pictures of the location were presented in the several screens of the Bowling Place and all Furboliche staff members were using buttons with Brasil FurFest logo. Before the announcement, a [[Facebook]] page was made and teaser videos in Portuguese, Spanish and English were published.<ref name="Brasil FurFest Teaser">[https://www.facebook.com/brasilfurfest/videos/vb.797965610314155/810381545739228/?type=2&theater BFF Facebook Teaser]. Retrieved February 7, 2016.</ref>

First crowdfunding goal of Brasil FurFest was reached in barely 13 days. In an official announcement on the social networks, the staff of the convention confirmed the event for the proposed dates. At the end of crowdfunding campaign, all additional goals (that introduced more structure and activities to the con) were reached and R$ 15,390 (approx. US$ 3,850) were pledged.

In April 24th, 2016, BFF's staff announced the theme for the event: "Peludos em Santos" (Furries in Santos) - a joke with the name of a very famous Brazilian Rock song called "Pelados in Santos" (Naked in Santos). Guests of honor were announced in the same day.

==== Brasil Furfest 2016 - Furries in Santos ====
[[file:Foto oficial bff.jpg|right|thumb|Official picture of Brasil FurFest 2016]]
First interaction of Brasil FurFest happened as planned in Mercure Santos Hotel and gathered 169 furries (among them 54 fursuiters) from 5 countries (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay and USA).

Furries could be part of panels, workshops, dealer's den, artist's alley, fursuit parade (48 fursuits), fursuit games and a bus party.

During the Opening Ceremony, a video talking about dreams and persistence was presented and the countdown featured the name of furry cons around the world as an inspiration for Brasil FurFest. A videoclip with a parody of the song "Pelados em Santos" with fursuiters was also shown before "My First Convention" panel started telling attendes the details of the event.

Guests of Honors were El Ranno, a famous designer and illustrator from Brazil and [[Latin Vixen]], owner of [[Mixed Candy]] Fursuits, a very well-known fursuit maker from the USA.

Among the activities, a Magic The Gathering tournament was held and won by Casshan Wolf. At saturday night, a Dance Tournament for fursuiters and non-fursuiters was the main attraction in Porto room. Scamp from Argentina won Fursuiter category and Trent T. was the solo competitor in non-Fursuiter competition.

Brasil FurFest published a daily newspaper called "Diário da BFF" (Portuguese for "BFF Daily") with news from the previous day and trivial informations of the event.

During BFF, donations in total of R$ 435.45 (appox. US$ 140, at the date) were collected from participants to help non-governmental non-profit organization, MAPAN (Portuguese abbreviation for: Movement in Support of the Protectors of Animals and Nature), very known in the city of Santos for protecting, feeding and for reinsert abandoned animals in responsible families. BFF is the first Brazilian event to rely on charitable activity, something common in major international conventions.

At the Closing Ceremony, staff announced Brasil FurFest will happen again at the same place in August 2017.

[[File:BFF2017-Fursuiters-Toberal.jpg|right|300px]]
The second edition of Brasil FurFest had its official announcement realized in April 2017 during [[Furboliche]] 6 event, when the official name of the theme was presented: Furries in Space; and as well as the guests of honor: the artist, fursuiter, fursuit-maker and youtuber, Igor Cebarros; and the professional illustrator, Felipe Marcantônio. At the time, the event had 123 registered attendees.

The event began on the evening of August 25th with the opening ceremony that showed a video about friendship, a teathrical piece of a space flight and staffs presented details of the event. After this a night party at the hotel featured a dance floor, lounge decorated based on the event's theme and a bar selling themed drinks.

The weekend was followed by a variety of activities including workshops, panels, furry market, artist's room, Fursuit Parade, fursuit games and a crowded game room with a Super Smash Bros. tournament. On Saturday night, the dance competition took place. It was won by Ambar, Vinny and Crash/Lars in the categories fursuiter, non-fursuiter and doubles, respectively. During the dance competition, the event chairman challenged the audience to donate R$ 500 to charity and if the goal was met, he would dance to the music of one of the winners. The goal was achieved and the improvised performance ended Saturday night.

On Sunday, the parade fursuit was held in the morning and counted 107 fursuiters. During the course, one of the fursuiters ended up falling and another overheated due to the temperature inside the fursuit. Both were rescued by the medical team of the event and moments later were already rehabilitated to join the activities. The staff announced at the closing ceremony that the parade fursuit will be held again Saturday afternoon to minimize temperature effects.

The closing ceremony marked the end of the event and took many furries to tears during special moments. A surprise auction was held for charity and multiplied several times the funds raised for the NGO SOS Vida Pet Baixada Santista, reaching a total of R$ 2,668.10. The staffs of several Brazilian furry events and also the ColombiaFur group team were invited to take a photo together, showing the union of the events in favor of fandom. The final numbers of the event were announced: 287 attendees from 9 countries (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, USA, Germany and Finland) and the thank you message was made in Portuguese, Spanish, English and Finnish in honor of all those present. At the end it was announced that the third edition of Brasil FurFest will be held again at the Mercure Santos Hotel, between August 17th and 19th, 2018. The theme of the event was also announced: "Lights! Cameras! Furries!".

FLEF was strongly based on the [[FCLR]], the Furry Convention Leadership Roundtable - an international group that brings together furry conventions from around the world.

The first actual FLEF meeting took place during [[Brasil FurFest|Brasil FurFest 2017]]. The members of the group met for a lunch and also took a picture together during the closing ceremony of their event T-shirts.

The '''Furry Convention Leadership Roundtable''' ('''FCLR''') is an association of [[furry convention]]s. The group holds meetings in the tradition of [[wikipedia:SMOFcon|SMOFcon]] in the [[Wikipedia:Science fiction fandom|science fiction fandom]] to facilitate communication between its members, as well as maintaining a [[mailing list]], chat server, and website. Event organizations may submit up to three representatives for the mailing list and annual events, and must have a signed venue contract and 100 actual or planned attendees to join.<ref>[http://fclr.info/joining-fclr/ Joining FCLR]. Retrieved 18 February 2016.</ref>

FCLR's organizers claim it is "not the [[Wikipedia:Illuminati|Illuminati]]" but "a helpful bunch of furs that are here to help us keep the fandom the amazing place it was always meant to be".<ref name="FCLRFurSquared2016">[https://fursquared2016.sched.org/event/5tUx/fclr-meet-greet FCLR Meet & Greet] - FurSquared 2016, [[Wikipedia:Sched|Sched]]</ref> Conversely, some members ''have'' called it "the furry illuminati association";<ref>[https://twitter.com/pathhyena/status/547031852465127424 "Seriously at FCLR (the furry illuminati association) we spent 15 minutes talking about how to never send a GoH on @SpiritAirlines."] - [[Path Hyena]], Twitter (22 December 2014)</ref> others describe it as "like ''[[Wikipedia:Twelve Angry Men|Twelve Angry Men]]'', except a buncha damn furries deciding the fate of the [[con badge|badge]] prep process or the [[con suite]] sandwiches".<ref>[https://twitter.com/warbledog/status/452467220976009216 ".@pathhyena It's like Twelve Angry Men, except a buncha damn furries deciding the fate of the badge prep process or the con suite sandwiches"] - [[warbledog]], Twitter (5 April 2014)</ref>

The FCLR also maintains a [[Wikipedia:Slack (software)|Slack]] server, a chat service with sub-groups that include (but are not limited to) publications, hotels, art shows, dealers, IT, and registration.<ref>[https://twitter.com/DuncanDaHusky/status/825030122793291776 "Announcing the #FCLR Slack Team!

RTs appreciated!"] - Duncan da Husky, Twitter (27 January 2017)</ref> Membership is open to all furry convention staff and organizers.

==Background==
Following several years of discussion with the senior staff of various furry conventions, [[Takaza J. Wolf]] organized the first FCLR.<ref name="FCLRAbout" /> The intention was to create a relaxed atmosphere where various topics of convention running could be discussed in a [[Wikipedia:Round table (discussion)|round-table format]] (or as close as can be achieved with square tables<ref>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmuth/sets/72157626490172541/ Photos of FCLR 2011] by [[Giza]]</ref>). Topics of discussion would range widely, including convention marketing, hotel contract negotiation, events organization and the vagaries of [[Wikipedia:Incorporation (business)|incorporation]]. To prevent the discussion from being dominated by any one organization, the decision was made to have no more than three representatives from each convention (and their significant others), though it was up to each convention which staff members to invite.

The original intention was that, like SMOFcon, each year a different group or organization sponsors the event, and the location will rotate throughout the United States and Canada. Following FCLR 2010, the decision was made the attendees to adopt a two-year rotation schedule instead. Invitations to the event are sent to every furry convention in the United States and Canada with an attendance of more than 100.

One of the group's [[Wikipedia:Ground rules|ground rules]] is not to discuss event pricing,<ref>[https://twitter.com/pathhyena/status/452533609455308801 "@RedTheRabbit We have an explicitly agreement not to discuss pricing. That's was an interesting sober start! Ground rules!"] - [[Path Hyena]], Twitter (5 April 2014)</ref> although other financial topics feature prominently, along with staff/volunteer management, hotel relations, interactions with news and social media, [[pornography#Pornography and furry|mature content]], handling misbehaving attendees, and strategic and disaster planning.<ref name="FCLREvents">[http://fclr.info/fclr-events/ FCLR Events]. Retrieved 18 February 2016.</ref>

==Events==
FCLR meetings are held both at and separate from furry conventions, with representatives attending in person or via [[Wikipedia:Teleconference|teleconference]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/dmuth/status/224161165230612481 Reply to tweet regarding teleconferencing] - [[Giza]], Twitter (14 July 2012)</ref> On at least one occasion, hosting bids have been submitted and voted on by members.<ref>[https://twitter.com/DuncanDaHusky/status/450622780568903680 "@Taz_Cat1 Actually, bids were submitted and voted on by the membership.

'''Brasil FurFest''', or '''BFF''', is the first hotel-based [[furry]] [[convention]] to happen in Brazil. It was first held over September 9-11, 2016, in the city of [[w:Santos,_São_Paulo|Santos,]] [[w:Brazil|Brazil]].<ref name="Brasil FurFest Official Announcement">[http://www.brasilfurfest.com.br BFF website]. Retrieved February 7, 2016.</ref>. Third interaction will be held from August 17-19, 2018 at the same place.

== History ==
[[file:Bffannouncement.jpg|left|thumb|Official announcement during Furboliche 5]]
[[Furboliche]] (São Paulo's Furry bowling event) founders had the idea of organizing a furry convention in Santos back in 2014.
The proposed name was "Confursão" (abbreviation for Convenção Furry de São Paulo, Portuguese for São Paulo's Furry Convention).
Due to lack of experience, they decided to postpone the convention and started Furboliche instead, to acquire know-how and to understand the dynamics of local furry fandom.

After Brazil's camping-based furry convention [[Abando]] announced 2016 would be its last year,<ref name="Flayrah">[https://www.flayrah.com/6391/brazilian-furry-convention-be-abando-ned-after-2016 "Brazilian furry convention to be Abando-ned after 2016"] on Flayrah. Retrieved February 7, 2016.</ref> the staff of Furboliche decided to review their plans. They announced they would start a hotel-based furry convention, to prevent Brazil from lacking any multi-day events.
Proposed name "Confursão" was withdrawn and it was replaced by "Brasil FurFest" to avoid similarities with a famous furmeet called "Confuria".

The official announcement of Brasil FurFest was done on February 13th, 2016, at Furboliche 5 event. Before traditional fursuit raffle, the staff showed BFF's logo and announced the convention would start as a crowdfunding with a goal of R$ 6,000 (around US$ 1,500) for the basic costs of renting conference rooms and producing conbook, badges and other stuff. Further goals for crowdfunding campaign were later presented for adding more conference rooms or renting party bus in case of bigger donations.
Videos and pictures of the location were presented in the several screens of the Bowling Place and all Furboliche staff members were using buttons with Brasil FurFest logo. Before the announcement, a [[Facebook]] page was made and teaser videos in Portuguese, Spanish and English were published.<ref name="Brasil FurFest Teaser">[https://www.facebook.com/brasilfurfest/videos/vb.797965610314155/810381545739228/?type=2&theater BFF Facebook Teaser]. Retrieved February 7, 2016.</ref>

First crowdfunding goal of Brasil FurFest was reached in barely 13 days. In an official announcement on the social networks, the staff of the convention confirmed the event for the proposed dates. At the end of crowdfunding campaign, all additional goals (that introduced more structure and activities to the con) were reached and R$ 15,390 (approx. US$ 3,850) were pledged.

In April 24th, 2016, BFF's staff announced the theme for the event: "Peludos em Santos" (Furries in Santos) - a joke with the name of a very famous Brazilian Rock song called "Pelados in Santos" (Naked in Santos). Guests of honor were announced in the same day.

==== Brasil Furfest 2016 - Furries in Santos ====
[[file:Foto oficial bff.jpg|right|thumb|Official picture of Brasil FurFest 2016]]
First interaction of Brasil FurFest happened as planned in Mercure Santos Hotel and gathered 169 furries (among them 54 fursuiters) from 5 countries (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay and USA).

Furries could be part of panels, workshops, dealer's den, artist's alley, fursuit parade (48 fursuits), fursuit games and a bus party.

During the Opening Ceremony, a video talking about dreams and persistence was presented and the countdown featured the name of furry cons around the world as an inspiration for Brasil FurFest. A videoclip with a parody of the song "Pelados em Santos" with fursuiters was also shown before "My First Convention" panel started telling attendes the details of the event.

Guests of Honors were El Ranno, a famous designer and illustrator from Brazil and [[Latin Vixen]], owner of [[Mixed Candy]] Fursuits, a very well-known fursuit maker from the USA.

Among the activities, a Magic The Gathering tournament was held and won by Casshan Wolf. At saturday night, a Dance Tournament for fursuiters and non-fursuiters was the main attraction in Porto room. Scamp from Argentina won Fursuiter category and Trent T. was the solo competitor in non-Fursuiter competition.

Brasil FurFest published a daily newspaper called "Diário da BFF" (Portuguese for "BFF Daily") with news from the previous day and trivial informations of the event.

During BFF, donations in total of R$ 435.45 (appox. US$ 140, at the date) were collected from participants to help non-governmental non-profit organization, MAPAN (Portuguese abbreviation for: Movement in Support of the Protectors of Animals and Nature), very known in the city of Santos for protecting, feeding and for reinsert abandoned animals in responsible families. BFF is the first Brazilian event to rely on charitable activity, something common in major international conventions.

At the Closing Ceremony, staff announced Brasil FurFest will happen again at the same place in August 2017.

====Brasil FurFest 2017 - Furries in Space ====
[[File:BrasilFurFest2017Logo.jpg|right|300px]]
[[File:BFF2017-Fursuiters-Toberal.jpg|right|300px]]
The second edition of Brasil FurFest had its official announcement realized in April 2017 during [[Furboliche]] 6 event, when the official name of the theme was presented: Furries in Space; and as well as the guests of honor: the artist, fursuiter, fursuit-maker and youtuber, Igor Cebarros; and the professional illustrator, Felipe Marcantônio. At the time, the event had 123 registered attendees.

The event began on the evening of August 25th with the opening ceremony that showed a video about friendship, a teathrical piece of a space flight and staffs presented details of the event. After this a night party at the hotel featured a dance floor, lounge decorated based on the event's theme and a bar selling themed drinks.

The weekend was followed by a variety of activities including workshops, panels, furry market, artist's room, Fursuit Parade, fursuit games and a crowded game room with a Super Smash Bros. tournament. On Saturday night, the dance competition took place. It was won by Ambar, Vinny and Crash/Lars in the categories fursuiter, non-fursuiter and doubles, respectively. During the dance competition, the event chairman challenged the audience to donate R$ 500 to charity and if the goal was met, he would dance to the music of one of the winners. The goal was achieved and the improvised performance ended Saturday night.

On Sunday, the parade fursuit was held in the morning and counted 107 fursuiters. During the course, one of the fursuiters ended up falling and another overheated due to the temperature inside the fursuit. Both were rescued by the medical team of the event and moments later were already rehabilitated to join the activities. The staff announced at the closing ceremony that the parade fursuit will be held again Saturday afternoon to minimize temperature effects.

The closing ceremony marked the end of the event and took many furries to tears during special moments. A surprise auction was held for charity and multiplied several times the funds raised for the NGO SOS Vida Pet Baixada Santista, reaching a total of R$ 2,668.10. The staffs of several Brazilian furry events and also the ColombiaFur group team were invited to take a photo together, showing the union of the events in favor of fandom. The final numbers of the event were announced: 287 attendees from 9 countries (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, USA, Germany and Finland) and the thank you message was made in Portuguese, Spanish, English and Finnish in honor of all those present. At the end it was announced that the third edition of Brasil FurFest will be held again at the Mercure Santos Hotel, between August 17th and 19th, 2018. The theme of the event was also announced: "Lights! Cameras! Furries!".

'''Brasil FurFest''', or '''BFF''', is the first hotel-based [[furry]] [[convention]] to happen in Brazil. It was first held over September 9-11, 2016, in the city of [[w:Santos,_São_Paulo|Santos,]] [[w:Brazil|Brazil]].<ref name="Brasil FurFest Official Announcement">[http://www.brasilfurfest.com.br BFF website]. Retrieved February 7, 2016.</ref>. Third interaction will be held from August 17-19, 2018 at the same place.

== History ==
[[file:Bffannouncement.jpg|left|thumb|Official announcement during Furboliche 5]]
[[Furboliche]] (São Paulo's Furry bowling event) founders had the idea of organizing a furry convention in Santos back in 2014.
The proposed name was "Confursão" (abbreviation for Convenção Furry de São Paulo, Portuguese for São Paulo's Furry Convention).
Due to lack of experience, they decided to postpone the convention and started Furboliche instead, to acquire know-how and to understand the dynamics of local furry fandom.

After Brazil's camping-based furry convention [[Abando]] announced 2016 would be its last year,<ref name="Flayrah">[https://www.flayrah.com/6391/brazilian-furry-convention-be-abando-ned-after-2016 "Brazilian furry convention to be Abando-ned after 2016"] on Flayrah. Retrieved February 7, 2016.</ref> the staff of Furboliche decided to review their plans. They announced they would start a hotel-based furry convention, to prevent Brazil from lacking any multi-day events.
Proposed name "Confursão" was withdrawn and it was replaced by "Brasil FurFest" to avoid similarities with a famous furmeet called "Confuria".

The official announcement of Brasil FurFest was done on February 13th, 2016, at Furboliche 5 event. Before traditional fursuit raffle, the staff showed BFF's logo and announced the convention would start as a crowdfunding with a goal of R$ 6,000 (around US$ 1,500) for the basic costs of renting conference rooms and producing conbook, badges and other stuff. Further goals for crowdfunding campaign were later presented for adding more conference rooms or renting party bus in case of bigger donations.
Videos and pictures of the location were presented in the several screens of the Bowling Place and all Furboliche staff members were using buttons with Brasil FurFest logo. Before the announcement, a [[Facebook]] page was made and teaser videos in Portuguese, Spanish and English were published.<ref name="Brasil FurFest Teaser">[https://www.facebook.com/brasilfurfest/videos/vb.797965610314155/810381545739228/?type=2&theater BFF Facebook Teaser]. Retrieved February 7, 2016.</ref>

First crowdfunding goal of Brasil FurFest was reached in barely 13 days. In an official announcement on the social networks, the staff of the convention confirmed the event for the proposed dates. At the end of crowdfunding campaign, all additional goals (that introduced more structure and activities to the con) were reached and R$ 15,390 (approx. US$ 3,850) were pledged.

In April 24th, 2016, BFF's staff announced the theme for the event: "Peludos em Santos" (Furries in Santos) - a joke with the name of a very famous Brazilian Rock song called "Pelados in Santos" (Naked in Santos). Guests of honor were announced in the same day.

==== Brasil Furfest 2016 - Furries in Santos ====
[[file:Foto oficial bff.jpg|right|thumb|Official picture of Brasil FurFest 2016]]
First interaction of Brasil FurFest happened as planned in Mercure Santos Hotel and gathered 169 furries (among them 54 fursuiters) from 5 countries (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay and USA).

Furries could be part of panels, workshops, dealer's den, artist's alley, fursuit parade (48 fursuits), fursuit games and a bus party.

During the Opening Ceremony, a video talking about dreams and persistence was presented and the countdown featured the name of furry cons around the world as an inspiration for Brasil FurFest. A videoclip with a parody of the song "Pelados em Santos" with fursuiters was also shown before "My First Convention" panel started telling attendes the details of the event.

Guests of Honors were El Ranno, a famous designer and illustrator from Brazil and [[Latin Vixen]], owner of [[Mixed Candy]] Fursuits, a very well-known fursuit maker from the USA.

Among the activities, a Magic The Gathering tournament was held and won by Casshan Wolf. At saturday night, a Dance Tournament for fursuiters and non-fursuiters was the main attraction in Porto room. Scamp from Argentina won Fursuiter category and Trent T. was the solo competitor in non-Fursuiter competition.

Brasil FurFest published a daily newspaper called "Diário da BFF" (Portuguese for "BFF Daily") with news from the previous day and trivial informations of the event.

During BFF, donations in total of R$ 435.45 (appox. US$ 140, at the date) were collected from participants to help non-governmental non-profit organization, MAPAN (Portuguese abbreviation for: Movement in Support of the Protectors of Animals and Nature), very known in the city of Santos for protecting, feeding and for reinsert abandoned animals in responsible families. BFF is the first Brazilian event to rely on charitable activity, something common in major international conventions.

At the Closing Ceremony, staff announced Brasil FurFest will happen again at the same place in August 2017.

[[File:BFF2017-Fursuiters-Toberal.jpg|right|300px]]
The second edition of Brasil FurFest had its official announcement realized in April 2017 during [[Furboliche]] 6 event, when the official name of the theme was presented: Furries in Space; and as well as the guests of honor: the artist, fursuiter, fursuit-maker and youtuber, Igor Cebarros; and the professional illustrator, Felipe Marcantônio. At the time, the event had 123 registered attendees.

The event began on the evening of August 25th with the opening ceremony that showed a video about friendship, a teathrical piece of a space flight and staffs presented details of the event. After this a night party at the hotel featured a dance floor, lounge decorated based on the event's theme and a bar selling themed drinks.

The weekend was followed by a variety of activities including workshops, panels, furry market, artist's room, Fursuit Parade, fursuit games and a crowded game room with a Super Smash Bros. tournament. On Saturday night, the dance competition took place. It was won by Ambar, Vinny and Crash/Lars in the categories fursuiter, non-fursuiter and doubles, respectively. During the dance competition, the event chairman challenged the audience to donate R$ 500 to charity and if the goal was met, he would dance to the music of one of the winners. The goal was achieved and the improvised performance ended Saturday night.

On Sunday, the parade fursuit was held in the morning and counted 107 fursuiters. During the course, one of the fursuiters ended up falling and another overheated due to the temperature inside the fursuit. Both were rescued by the medical team of the event and moments later were already rehabilitated to join the activities. The staff announced at the closing ceremony that the parade fursuit will be held again Saturday afternoon to minimize temperature effects.

The closing ceremony marked the end of the event and took many furries to tears during special moments. A surprise auction was held for charity and multiplied several times the funds raised for the NGO SOS Vida Pet Baixada Santista, reaching a total of R$ 2,668.10. The staffs of several Brazilian furry events and also the ColombiaFur group team were invited to take a photo together, showing the union of the events in favor of fandom. The final numbers of the event were announced: 287 attendees from 9 countries (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, USA, Germany and Finland) and the thank you message was made in Portuguese, Spanish, English and Finnish in honor of all those present. At the end it was announced that the third edition of Brasil FurFest will be held again at the Mercure Santos Hotel, between August 17th and 19th, 2018. The theme of the event was also announced: "Lights! Cameras! Furries!".

On September 8, 2013, Fox announced a fund-raising campaign on Indiegogo, raising funds to have his next album recorded at the world-renowned [[wikipedia:Abbey Road Studios|Abbey Road Studios]].

Anything extra made would go towards the production of the album such as inviting even more musicians in, and if a funding level of £20,000 was reached, this would allow the opportunity for the studio time to be extended, and to get a full live orchestra into the studio.<ref>[http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/come-find-me-the-journey-to-abbey-road Come Find Me - The Journey to Abbey Road] Retrieved September 30, 2013</ref> The first target was met within two hours of the campaign launch.<ref>[http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/come-find-me-the-journey-to-abbey-road?c=activity Indiegogo campaign updates]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/FoxAmoore/status/376817677399891968 Tweet] by Fox Amoore, September 8, 2013</ref>

== That's Amoore ==
In 2009, KE Films released a short documentary about Fox Amoore [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Css7dDHVtGA]] entitled 'That's Amoore'. The teaser trailer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrLYBOfijdc] for 'That's Amoore' received three honours in the UK's Film & Animation category for the most favourited, most viewed and highest rated on the day of its release, whereas the documentary itself attained double-honour status. The documentary focuses on a tour of his then-studio set-up (updated since the production wrapped), a quick-fire multiple choice 'Scottish Inquisition', an interview and a partial music video on his piece 'The Shore'. Shot on location in three days in and around his home town, the documentary surpassed over 1,000 views within its first month of release. Fans lauded the production for revealing much about the composer, especially his origins.

Featured tracks in the documentary include an un-released 2009 work in progress version of 'Waltz of the Spirits', 'Wut' (an original Sims-esque strings cue for the documentary) and 'The Shore'. A DVD release, containing exclusive material including commentaries, production photos, extended sequences and a gag-reel is scheduled for a 2010 release along with a remastered documentary.

== Real life player ==

Fox Amoore was born on 26 August, 1984, and began teaching himself how to play on his grandmother's piano at the age of five. In his school years he took proper lessons, and by the age of 14 was playing professionally at the Craws Nest Hotel in Anstruther, Scotland.

He is currently{{when}} the entertainment director and resident cocktail pianist for the Queen's Hotel, Bridge of Allan, Scotland. In addition, he is also the keyboarist for the internationally touring Paul McCartney and the Wings tribute act, The Getback Band. In the past and currently he has composed music for television and video games, including the furry video game in production [[Anthem]], created by [[Maus Merryjest]]. In addition he is a professional composer, session musician, and private tutor.

In 2009, his MySpace and YouTube accounts were hacked and wiped. However, they were relaunched and proved to work to his advantage, acquiring him more work in the wake of the attacks.

In the fandom, Fox Amoore has created a name for himself for supporting and promoting fellow fur musicians, and is the music administrator of Fur Affinity.

== Character and fursona ==

[[File:Wikione.jpg|right|thumb|147px|The Character, Fox Krystoph Amoore]]

His [[fursona]] is a young anthro [[Red Fox]], a user of magic known as '''Fox Krystoph Amoore'''. Not too much is known about the Fox's history, though it is known he was born in another dimension and came to be here due to a last-minute life-saving action by his dead mother and father, Blade and Cyra Amoore. It is also known that he has a brother, Cinard Amoore, who was adopted from a [[rabbit]] family which was unable to control his destructive magical powers. The two only met recently when Fox finally managed to discover a means to return to his birth dimension, to find his parents' grave; however, Cinard had already discovered how to return there. Reluctantly, Fox decided not to stay with his brother, considering his friends and mate, Wild Rose, back in this dimension.
