A '''furmeet''' is a relatively small real-life gathering of [[furries]]. Furmeets may be sporadically scheduled or regular events. A furmeet may range in size, from a small group to dozens. When a furmeet attracts more than approximately 100 attendees, and starts to add features such as organized programming and the sale of goods, it begins to be considered a [[convention]].

At furmeets, attendees will often have dinner, watch [[:Category:Movies|movies]] (both furry and non-furry related), play [[:Category:roleplaying games|roleplaying games]] or [[:Category:video games|video games]], or draw. Sometimes a furmeet is as casual as simply getting together to talk and have a few drinks at a local bar or pub. Furmeets can be a fun way to meet other furs and make new friends, get to know local furs, and generally have fun.

Furry Cruise

2012-12-31T16:10:45Z

79.3.154.146:

The '''Furry Cruise''' is an event involving [[furries]] booking as a group on a cruise ship. It takes place on an annual basis, and started in 2005. Many take [[fursuit]]s and entertain themselves and the other cruise members. It is only one of two furry conventions/meets where most (if not all) of the activities take place in a sailing ship rather than on land (the other being [[RBW]]).

==Cruise destinations==

The 1st Furry Cruise, December 5-10, 2005, set sail out of [[wikipedia:Miami, Florida|Miami, Florida]] via [[wikipedia:Royal Caribbean International|Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines]]' [[wikipedia:MS Majesty of the Seas|''Majesty of the Seas'']]. 37 [[fur]]s took part in the tour, planned by [[LatinVixen]], which stopped at [[wikipedia:Nassau,_Bahamas|Nassau]], in [[wikipedia:The Bahamas|The Bahamas]]; and [[wikipedia:Key West, Florida|Key West, Florida]]. A scheduled visit to [[wikipedia:Coco Cay|Coco Cay]], Royal Caribbean's private paradise on Little Stirrup Cay (also in The Bahamas), was canceled due to rough swells at the time of arrival.

The 2nd Furry Cruise, December 3-9, 2006, set sail out of [[wikipedia:Fort Lauderdale, Florida|Fort Lauderdale, Florida]] via Royal Caribbean's [[wikipedia:MS Radiance of the Seas|''Radiance of the Seas'']]. 18 furs took part in the tour, which included stops at Key West; [[wikipedia:Cozumel, Mexico|Cozumel, Mexico]]; [[wikipedia:George Town, Cayman Islands|George Town]], [[wikipedia:Cayman Islands|Cayman Islands]]; and [[wikipedia:Montego Bay, Jamaica|Montego Bay, Jamaica]]. [[WildWolf]] placed second in the ship's costume contest, losing only to a (non-[[fursuit]]) woman in a "cheap skimpy pirate outfit."<ref>[http://wildwolf4paws.livejournal.com/7097.html ''Furry Cruise 2006 Post Report''] by [[WildWolf]] on the Furry Cruise [[LiveJournal]] community</ref>

The 3rd Furry Cruise set for December 2-9, 2007, with the destination to the [[wikipedia:Mexican Riviera|Mexican Riviera]] in mind, was canceled due to a lack of commitment. A discussion was opened to draft an alternative itinerary, but was not ultimately successful.<ref>[http://community.livejournal.com/furrycruise/42348.html ''Furry Cruise for 2007 is on hold''] by [[Zotcoon]] on the Furry Cruise LiveJournal community</ref>

The next years Furry cruise, dubbed the 3rd Furry Cruise (ignoring last years cancellation) was held on December 1-5, 2008 and sailed to the Bahamas.<ref>[http://community.livejournal.com/furrycruise/44875.html Furry Cruise 2008 Complete Information] - [[Banshee]], {{lj-comm|furrycruise}} (7 May 2008)</ref> The ship, [[wikipedia:MS Monarch of the Seas|''Monarch of the Seas'']], departed from [[Wikipedia:Port Canaveral, Florida|Port Canaveral, Florida]] and included stops at [[Wikipedia:Little Stirrup Cay|Little Stirrup Cay]] ("Coco Cay") and Nassau. 15 people attended.

The 4th Furry Cruise was held on December 5-10, 2009, with 14 attendees. Cruisers traveled on Royal Caribbean's ''[[wikipedia:MS Navigator of the Seas|Navigator of the Seas]]'' out of Miami on a five-night cruise with stops at [[wikipedia:Labadee, Haiti|Labadee, Haiti]], and [[wikipedia:Ocho Rios, Jamaica|Ocho Rios, Jamaica]].<ref>[http://community.livejournal.com/furrycruise/59244.html Furry Cruise 2009] Announcement</ref>

The 5th Furry Cruise was held over December 4-9, 2010, with 14 attendees.

The 6th Furry Cruise was held December 5-10, 2011, with 24 attendees on Royal Caribbean's ''[[wikipedia:MS Liberty of the Seas|Liberty of the Seas]]'', sailing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The 7th Furry Cruise is scheduled for December 2-7, 2012, on Royal Caribbean's ''[[wikipedia:MS Freedom of the Seas|Freedom of the Seas]]''. The cruise will be departing from Port Canaveral, Florida. There are 14 attendees as of May 2012.

Howloween

2012-12-31T15:46:58Z

79.3.154.146:

{{Howloween}}
'''Howloween''' is a Halloween-themed [[furmeet]] held in [[wikipedia:Burnaby, British Columbia|Burnaby, British Columbia]], about 10 minutes east of [[wikipedia:Vancouver|Vancouver]], [[wikipedia:Canada|Canada]].

Originally held annually around Halloween at the Best Western Coquitlam Inn & Convention Centre from 2003-2006, it was then moved to the [http://www.compasspointinn.com/ Compass Point Inn] from 2008-2010, and has currently taken up residence at [http://www.executivehotels.net/burnabyhotel/ The Executive Hotel & Conference Centre]. As more of a furry-themed event than a full-fledged [[convention]], Howloween does not have a specific [[dealers den]] or [[art show]], but there are many available tables and chairs in the event area which takes up two halls in the hotel. The event includes furry themed games, panels, competitions, entertainment, and dance with an all-ages target audience. An ongoing tradition of the event is an unofficial after-party involving [[Fursuit bowling]] at [http://www.revs.ca/holdom/ Revs Bowling Centre] in [[wikipedia:Burnaby, British Columbia|Burnaby]], [[wikipedia:British Columbia|British Columbia]].

==History==
* '''[[Howloween 2002]]''' began at the home of [[TJ_Wolf]] in [[wikipedia:Burnaby, British Columbia|Burnaby]]. About 10 people attended the [[house party]], which featured modest events such as pizza and videos.
* '''[[Howloween 2003]]''' was the first to be held in a formal hotel setting. It was originally planned to be held at the Burnaby Radisson Hotel, but was moved to the Best Western Coquitlam Inn & Convention Centre, where it remained until Howloween 2006. The event was featured in the [[wikipedia:CBC Newsworld|CBC Newsworld]] television program ''[[Culture Shock]]''.<ref>[http://fursuit.timduru.org/view/FursuitVideo/FurriesInTheNews/200401_CultureShock ''Culture Shock'' on CBC] (from [[Timduru]]'s [[The Fursuit Archive]])</ref>
* '''[[Howloween 2004]]''' was extended to two days and moved to the upstairs event area of the Best Western Coquitlam Inn & Convention Centre. A [[fursuit]] of the new mascot - a pink [[Rabbit (species)|Rabbit]] with a hockey mask and chainsaw - was introduced, and the [[Wikipedia:Jack-o'-lantern|pumpkin carving]] contest was also held for the first time.
* '''[[Howloween 2005]]''' introduced the candy table, where furries pooled their money to buy a whole bunch of candy. Attendees who pre-registered this year began receiving a Howloween T-shirt with their membership.
* '''[[Howloween 2006]]''' was once again held at the Best Western Coquitlam Inn & Convention Centre. The room block was increased and the convention space was expanded to two halls. Total paid attendence surpassed the record of the previous year with 119 registered [[furries]]. This increase is believed to be a result of the cancellation of [[Conifur Northwest 2006]].
* '''[[Howloween 2007]]''' was officially cancelled, but a party in lieu was held at [[Aphinity]]'s house with over 60 people in attendance.
* '''[[Howloween 2008]]''' was organized by Aphinity, and held at the [http://www.compasspointinn.com/ Compass Point Inn] in [[wikipedia:Surrey, British Columbia|Surrey]], where it remained until Howloween 2010. The event registered 160 furries.
* '''[[Howloween 2009]]''' was organized by Aphinity, and held at the Compass Point Inn in Surrey, on Saturday, November 7th.
* '''[[Howloween 2010]]''' was organized by Aphinity, and held at the Compass Point Inn in Surrey on Saturday, November 6th. The event registered 151 furries.
* '''[[Howloween 2011]]''' was organized by Aphinity. The event was moved to it’s current address at [http://www.executivehotels.net/burnabyhotel/, The Executive Hotel & Conference Centre] in [[wikipedia:Burnaby, British Columbia|Burnaby]], which was also to be the site of [[VancouFur]] four months later. It was also expanded to two days, occurring over the weekend of November 5th-6th. The event registered 182 attendees.
* '''[[Howloween 2012]]''' was organized by Aphinity. Event was held at the [http://www.executivehotels.net/burnabyhotel/, The Executive Hotel & Conference Centre] in [[wikipedia:Burnaby, British Columbia|Burnaby]], which was also to be the site of [[VancouFur]] four months later. It went back to its 1 day even schedule for Nov 10th. The event registered 182 attendees.
* '''[[Howloween 2013]]''' is being organized by Aphinity. Event was held at the [http://www.executivehotels.net/burnabyhotel/, The Executive Hotel & Conference Centre] in [[wikipedia:Burnaby, British Columbia|Burnaby]], which was also to be the site of [[VancouFur]] four months later.

Frantic Eufuria

[[Image:FE_001.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Group Photograph from the first Frantic Eufuria]]

'''Frantic Eufuria''' ('''FE''') is a dance event held several times a year in [[Wikipedia:Bristol|Bristol]], U.K. It is organised by [[Jasper Foxx]] and features such DJs as [[Spirit Raptor]], [[Black Wolf (UK)|Black Wolf]], [[Swolf]], [[Tryst]], [[Graafen Blackpaw]] and [[Ravell]].

==Background==
Frantic Eufuria began in 2010 on the back of the success Jasper had with his original 'UKfur Rave'. The decision to change the name was taken in order to help the event appeal to more furs. The creation of a dedicated website created by [[Ravell]] helped to boost uptake as did flyers at various furry events.

Originally, the event was based purely around electronic dance, however following feedback at FE2, a decision was taken to run separate rock and metal events held on a separate dates. These events were re-combined following the move to the YHA for FE4, as the venue was capable of hosting both events simultaneously.

==Locations==
The event was originally held at the Cavern Club in Bristol, and followed a simple formula where a deposit was paid to the venue and if a set bar tab limit was reached, the deposit was refunded and then used for the next event. All events broke the bar tab.

On 15th May 2011, Jasper Foxx announced a new location had been negotiated for future events at the YHA site in Bristol. As well as providing a larger venue which could host both the electronic and metal events at the same time, a dedicated fursuit changing room, plus improved food and drink facilities, FE was now able to offer accommodation on-site<ref name=YHA>[http://forum.ukfur.org/topic/32185-exciting-news-for-frantic-eufuria/ Exciting News for Frantic Eufuria] Posted on [[UKFur]] by [[Jasper Foxx]], May 15 2011</ref>.

FE5 expanded Frantic Eufuria to include several daytime events, including a fursuit walk, gaming and a scavenger hunt over the weekend. Following feedback, the organisers decided that FE had moved away from the original concept of a furry dance event, and had almost become a mini convention - something which the organisers decided was not in keeping with what they originally envisioned. On April 10, 2012, Jasper Foxx announced that FE5 would be the last Frantic Eufuria at the YHA, a new location would be sought in a suitable nightclub/bar, and FE would return to its roots as a furry dance event, though they would try and bargain for discounted accommodation locally for furs wishing to stay overnight. In addition, due to poor attendance, the Rock/Metal sets would be discontinued.<ref>[http://forum.ukfur.org/topic/37550-the-future-of-frantic-eufuria/ The Future of Franfic Eufuria] Posted on UKFur by Jasper Foxx, April 10, 2012 </ref>

On 5th June 2012, Jasper announced that FE6 would be held on October 20, 2012 at the Warehouse Club in Bristol, providing two dance floors for different music styles. Accomodation would still be available at the YHA for those who wanted it.<ref>[http://forum.ukfur.org/topic/38466-new-frantic-eufuria-6-saturday-20-october-2012/ Frantic Eufuria 6 - Saturday 20 October 2012] Posted on UKFur by Jasper Foxx, June 5, 2012</ref> Unfortunately, the Warehouse Club had its trading license revoked four days before the event was to take place, requiring a temporary return to the YHA (kept as a back-up venue) with a shortened DJ schedule. <ref>[http://forum.ukfur.org/topic/38466-new-frantic-eufuria-6-saturday-20-october-2012/page__st__200 Frantic Eufuria ****MAJOR UPDATE****] posted on UKFur by Jasper Foxx, October 17, 2012</ref>

'''Futerkon''' – series of full-scale furry [[conventions|convention]] organized in [[Poland]], addressed mostly to polish furries. Convention is organized annually, in August. Location of the venue where the convention takes place differs, however it tends to be middle of Poland.

== Formula ==
Futerkon is a national convention of furries society of Poland, created in place of older convention [[Futrzakon]]. Event is characterized by new approach in programme preparations. New formula is mainly focused on creating relationships between attendees, getting to know each other and giving a possibility of spending time together in group of friends. Programme plays second role during the convention, although giving occasion to participate in many competitions, presentations, workshops, and attractions linked to convention theme.

The organizers are focused mainly on good entertainment, common recreation and creating new connections – i.e. during the welcome integration campfire or the evening party with dancing. Each of editions has it owns main theme, which is interlacing with other attractions and programme itself, starting from welcome campfire. Storyline strictly linked to theme ends with farewell campfire on the last day of the convention.

Futerkon is a non-attached and independent convention – organizers are not putting in favor and not identifying with any of existing in polish fandom message boards or sites. The only information platform for convention is its website.

== Organization ==
Futerkon convention is organized by organizers team, consisting of following members:
* [[Cubey]] - main organizer
* [[Kot|Kot]] - co-organizer, coordinator for programme
* [[Gravedigger]] - co-organizer, coordinator for logistics
* [[Pasterz]] – co-organizer
* [[Blajn]] – co-organizer

During each specific editions of the convention, a group of volunteers are involved in the organization as well, performing following tasks:
* Webmastering
* Creation of main graphic motive for convention theme
* Creation of graphic layout for convention website
* Support for organizers team

== Trivia ==
* The idea of new brand for the convention was created after deep analysis, defining attendees expectations regarding the convention itself (respondents were asked for their opinions after Futrzakon 2011) – thanks to the questionnaire made in 2011 organizers have become more aware of attendees needs, and due to that, they approached organization in different way, trying to fulfill all those needs as requested in forms. Organization of the event was put on so different tracks that organizers decided to leave old name of the convention and create new one - Futerkon.
* In the nearest future, convention will be provided with new website, where all the information such as mission, targets, convention statistics and editions archive will available for all attendees and people interested in convention (possibly both in polish and english language). New website will be also working as an information platform for attendees, bringing to furries information about upcoming projects working within Futerkon brand.

Futrzakon

79.3.154.146:

[[Image:Futrzakon_logo.gif|right|Futrzakon logo]]
{{Futrzakon}}
'''Futrzakon''' is the first full-scale furry [[convention]] organized in [[Wikipedia:Poland|Poland]]. The first edition of the con took place in September of 2008. The name of the con quite simply derives from the Polish words for [[Furry]] (Futrzak) and [[Convention]] (Konwent). The convention was organized in conjunction with heavy support from the [[polfurs.org]] web service, which provided site coding, publicity and hosting.

=== Demand ===

As the only furry convention in Poland as of July 30, 2012, Futrzakon caters to a population of several hundred, based on the active user count of the [http://www.polfurs.org Polfurs.org] community that supports it. Many of these users are unable or unwilling to travel abroad to other conventions in Europe, and Futrzakon was predicted to not have enough accommodations to satisfy all the demand. [[Futrzakon 2010]] attempted to address these concerns with a change of venue to a larger space that had more accommodations; however, only 77 attendees made it to that iteration.

=== Termination ===

Convention was officially terminated after 2011 edition, when all three organizers at that point of time - [[Kyubi]] , [[Kot]] , [[Gravedigger]] - decided to create new convention build upon new fundaments and targets. New convention was called [[Futerkon]], first edition happened in 2012, second was announced in 2013.

HerbstCon

2012-12-31T12:22:06Z

79.3.154.146:

:''HerbstCon is not related to [[H-Con]], another German furry convention held in the fall.''
{{time}}
{{copyedit}}
'''HerbstCon''' (or '''Die HerbstCon''') is a [[furry]] [[convention]] in the [[Wikipedia:Hesse|Hesse]] region of [[Wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] that was first held in 2003. The German words "Die HerbstCon" literally translates to "the autumn (or fall) con".

==History==
'''HerbstCon 2007''' took place over November 01-04 at a [[wikipedia:de:Sozialistische Jugend Deutschlands – Die Falken|Falken]] youth center club house in [[wikipedia:Seeheim-Jugenheim|Seeheim]] near [[Wikipedia:Darmstadt|Darmstadt]], Hesse, Germany. Due to the limited space (about 40 people), guests of previous years get invited first, followed by those on a waiting list. The last fall edition of HerbstCon attracted 36 participants.

The "Spring Edition" was held for the first time from 31 March to 2 April 2006 in a [[Wikipedia:Boy Scouts|boy scout]] club house near [[Wikipedia:Fulda|Fulda]], Hesse, Germany with 15 participants.

The following year, the Spring Edition was held from 30 March to 1 April 2007 in Phillipsthal, Hesse, Germany. Registration was closed when the maximum capacity of 20 participants was reached.

The next Spring Edition was held 28-30 March 2008 in Phillipsthal and was again limited to 20 people.

HerbstCon 2009 was held on 29 October-1 November.

HerbstCon 2012 is to be held 11-14 October 2012.

== Background ==
HerbstCon is famous for its cozy atmosphere and excellent self-cooked food. It is reminiscent of meetings from the early days of [[furry fandom]], before elaborate programming, events, registration, badges, conbooks and timetables or the like could be found. Among the guests are many well-known German artists and organizers of other European conventions and meets. This is their "payback" for contributing to the fandom: a relaxing weekend!
HerbstCon is organized by [[kovu (Person)|kovu]] and [[somewolf]].
