Counting the fursuiters during the parade was a total mess. The parade was spread out more, and not single file. Thus there might be some error in this number. FWA doesn't at this time have an official number.. but 191 will due for now -Tiger Nick (I can't seem to log in!)

{{Furry Weekend Atlanta}}
'''Furry Weekend Atlanta''', often abbreviated simply as '''FWA''', is a regional [[furry]] [[convention]] held in [[Wikipedia:Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta, Georgia]]. FWA's mascots are a [[fennec fox]] and a [[rabbit]], although in [[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2008|2008]] the convention appeared to use a [[red fox]] instead of a fennec in its official artwork. The convention started in 2004, and most recently occurred on the weekend of March 19 to 22 in 2009. Although the convention originally was held around [[Wikipedia:Valentine's Day|Valentine's Day]], often with a similar theme (represented in the conbook and on the con shirt), the con was rescheduled to a mid-March timeframe in 2009.<ref>[http://community.livejournal.com/furryweekend/195282.html Furry Weekend Atlanta 2009: The Official Announcement] by [[Kiran Lightpaw]].</ref> It is the [[List of conventions by attendance|4th largest furry convention]].

==History==
Furry Weekend Atlanta was the logical outgrowth of furry gathering held for years in Atlanta at the homes of various furs. Over the years, as more and more furs showed up in the metro Atlanta area, the gatherings became larger and larger. The idea of holding a furry convention was raised by several members of the Atlanta furry family, first in 2001 when nothing became of it, and then again in 2003. As the result of several planning sessions held in August of 2003, a concrete plan emerged to hold a convention in February of 2004. The name chosen echoes that of [[Wikipedia:Anime Weekend Atlanta|Anime Weekend Atlanta]].

====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2004]]====
About 270 people attended the first Furry Weekend Atlanta at the [http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/1/en/hd/atlap Holiday Inn Airport North] from February 13 to 15 in 2004. The guest of honor was [[LatinVixen]].

====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2005]]====
Around 500 people from 32 states and three foreign countries attended the convention from February 11 to 13 in 2005. The guests of honor included [[Jessie T. Wolf]] and [[Fel]].

====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2006]]====
557 people from 36 states and four foreign countries attended the convention from February 17 to 19 in 2006. The guests of honor included [[Bill Holbrook]] and [[Matt Burt]].

====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2007]]====
Furry Weekend Atlanta 2007 selected the [http://www.starwoodhotels.com/sheraton/search/hotel_detail.html?propertyID=48 Sheraton Gateway Hotel] as its new venue. The Holiday Inn Airport North had become too small for the size of the convention, and the new facility offered roughly double the space available to the rapidly growing convention. However, the Sheraton itself was sold out before the 2007 convention.<ref>[http://www.furryweekend.com/node/61 ''SHERATON SOLD OUT!''] by Kiran Lightpaw.</ref> The final attendance count was 762, a 37% increase over the previous year. The guests of honor included [[Strider Orion]] and [[Daria McGrain]].

====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2008]]====
FWA returned to the Sheraton Gateway Hotel on February 15-17, 2008, with [[Bonk]] and [[Tilt Longtail]] as the Guests of Honor, and 1,046 furs attending.

====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2009]]====
FWA 2009 brought two big changes to the convention: a move in location to the [http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/hotel/ATLAHHH-Hilton-Atlanta-Georgia/index.do Hilton Atlanta Hotel] and a change in dates from mid-February to March 19-22.<ref>[http://www.furryweekend.com/faq/move FAQ: Our Move] on FWA's official website.</ref> Guests of honor were [[Lizardbeth]] and [[Matthew Ebel]]. 1,371 attended.

====[[Furry Weekend Atlanta 2010]]====
FWA 2010 will take place from March 25th to 28th, 2010. The theme has been announced to be "Carnaval".<ref>[http://www.furryweekend.com/node/189]</ref>

==Organization==
Furry Weekend Atlanta is produced by Furry Weekend Atlanta, Inc., a non-profit corporation organized pursuant to the Georgia Non-Profit Corporation Code. Furry Weekend Atlanta Inc., in turn, is headed by an Executive Committee and tasked with operating the yearly convention, and promoting the acceptance and appreciation of the anthropomorphic fandom in the Southeast and throughout the country as a whole. As a non-profit corporation, only funds necessary for the continuing operation of the convention are retained; the remaining funds are donated to appropriate charities.

In addition to operating the convention, Tiger Paw also moderates [[FLORA]], and works to organize the Georgia furry population for entertainment and service.

In accordance with Furry Weekend Atlanta's bylaws, all convention staff meetings are open unless issues being discussed are especially divisive or the good name of a member is being discussed.

===Executive Committee===
The current Executive Committee of Furry Weekend Atlanta, Inc. consists of:
* [[Tiger Paw]], Chairman/CEO, a businessman from Atlanta.
* [[Kiran Lightpaw]], Director of Operations, a businessman and software engineer from Huntsville, Alabama.
* [[Ulf Formynder]], Set/Strike Coordinator, a broadcasting student from Atlanta.
* [[Tiger Nick]], a Graphic Designer, and full time Dad from Atlanta.
* [[Hux]], Director of Programming, a businessman and software engineer from Atlanta.

===Staff===
At the end of every convention, Furry Weekend Atlanta opens its staffing ranks for the next convention season in a meeting held usually following closing ceremonies. Prospective applicants will be able to find out a little about the "behind the scenes" work of the convention, and will be informed how to fill out the application online.

==Charities==
From 2005 to 2006, Furry Weekend Atlanta's official [[charity]] was the [http://www.wildliferehabsanctuary.org/ Ellijay Wildlife Rehabilitation Sanctuary], located a short distance from Atlanta in Ellijay, Georgia. The sanctuary is a state and federally licensed facility operated by Craig and Debbie Cylke, both of whom are certified in wildlife rehabilitation. To date, the sanctuary’s dedicated staff has educated over 100,000 children and adults through on-site course offerings, summer camps, and mobile education programs. Furry Weekend Atlanta attendees donated almost $4,000 to the Sanctuary in 2006, and almost $3,000 the year before.

The official charity for 2007 and 2008 is [http://www.conservatorscenter.org/ Conservator's Center, Inc.], a nonprofit organization working for the preservation of target threatened species through scientifically responsible captive breeding, organizing and participating in a coalition of organizations to manage and mediate animal emergency and crisis resolution situations nationally while serving as a resource for the educational and scientific communities.

==History==
Tiger Nick ultimately found the furry fandom through FurryMUCK, which he found through a conversation on IRC sometime early 1996. Originally his user name was "Pxs". As 'Pxs' he mainly played in the FurrySpace region of the MUCK - He joined the starship 'NightHawk' as a fighter pilot, and lated created many ships working for his own starship construction company. Later, his user ID changed to 'Burik', and more recently to 'Tiger-Nick'. He's also created a spot for information for [[Furry Weekend Atlanta]] on FurryMUCK (T #159008).

==Fursuit==
Tiger Nick made his own fursuit in August 2006. '''Polo''' is a fun loving young [[tiger]] character, in no way representing Tiger Nick's [[fursona]] (other than being a tiger).
