[[File:Morphicon.jpg|right|thumb|Morphicon]]
'''AnthrOhio''' is a [[furry convention]] in [[Wikipedia:Columbus, Ohio|Columbus, Ohio]], held between 2003 and 2015 as '''Morphicon'''. The most recent event had 342 registered attendees.

__NOTOC__
==History==

Morphicon began during a trip to have dinner and see ''[[The Lion King]]'' in February 2003. By the end of the evening, it had been resolved that there needed to be a local convention.

'''Morphicon Zero''', "The Zeroth Iteration", occurred June 21, 2003 as a furry all-day picnic held in Sharon Woods Park on the north side of Columbus, OH. Attendance was approximately 40. This picnic continues to be run in September of each year in addition to a yearly convention in May.

After [[Morphicon 2015]], the convention was rebranded to AnthrOhio to symbolize "recent shifts in staff and programming" and to distinguish the event from [[Wikipedia:Power Rangers|Power Rangers]] convention Power Morphicon.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Morphicon/status/594992513880035328 Tweet] on the Morphicon account on [[Twitter]]. Dated May 3, 2015. Retrieved May 3, 2015.</ref>

The AnthrOhio Board of Directors consists of [[Akea]], [[Columbus Jim]], [[Edward Hyena]], and [[Snap]].

==Morphicon Corporation==

Morphicon was run by Morphicon Corporation, a non-profit organization founded 12 February 2004 by A. Wolf ([[Trickster]]), E. Dyer ([[Pelzig]]), and M. Pinnegar ([[Jewel (Morphicon staff)|Jewel]]). M. Woods ([[Ostrich_%28person%29|Ostrich]]) was also a founder of the initial corporation, though he does not appear on the original signing document.<ref>[http://www2.sos.state.oh.us/reports/rwservlet?imgc&Din=200404403160 Morphicon Corporation - Initial Articles of Incorporation] (12 February 2004)</ref> A. Wolf resigned from the Board in January 2008 due to personal time commitments. C. Smith ([[Max Goof]]) formally resigned from the board, and as convention chair, in 2008.

The Morphicon Corporation had federal [[Wikipedia:501(c)(7)|501(c)(7)]] non-profit status.<ref>[http://nonprofitlocator.org/organizations/oh/columbus/562423494-morphicon-corporation Nonprofit Locator - Morphicon Corporation]</ref>

Edward Hyena: spelling fix

== To be done ==

Perhaps someone would like to add these things:
* Charity mentions (including amounts raised?)
* Featured events
* Regular dealers

== Charity ==
I'll have to check the newsletters, but I know that last year the charity was Ferrets Unlimited. [[User:Zhaleskra|Zhaleskra]] 20:30, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
:That organization sounds like a recipe for trouble . . . --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:08, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

It still is Ferrets Unlimited. Recipe for trouble? [[User:Kattywampus|Kattywampus]]

:Probably has something to do with ferrets in movies being used to aid thieves. [[User:Zhaleskra|Zhaleskra]] 02:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

== Morphicon 2013 Stats ==

I'm the one who added the reg, fursuit, charity stats for Morphicon 2013. I thought I was logged in at the time, but it just shows the IP address: 65.186.206.113 . I had e-mailed the info to GreenReaper on May 10th from the Morphicon Registration e-mail account since he had asked for the 2012 info the prior year from Morphicon Registration. Since I did not see any updates a week later I tried to make the update myself. Currently the page appears fine to me when logged in, but if not then none of the addition appears. If I look at the edits I see that the twitter feed is cited for the reg and fursuit parade counts, but it says a citation is needed for the charity fundraising numbers. Those numbers are not posted on-line anywhere else as far as I am aware, but came straight from me, the head of Morphicon Registration for 2013. I'm new to editing wikis, and am not sure what I need to do to get these changes finalized. -- [[User:CJ Columbus Jim|CJ Columbus Jim]] 14:35, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
:Hi CJ. I've cited this conversation as a reference, and given our cache a kick - it should show the current version of the article. For some reason the old version got stuck in there and wouldn't go even after a purge. Hopefully will be fixed with a forthcoming upgrade, which has better compatibility with our caching system. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 14:27, 29 May 2013 (EDT)

==Name change==
Morphicon seems to be renaming itself "AnthrOhio" (https://twitter.com/Morphicon/status/594992513880035328). Should this article be moved, or a new one started for the new name? If it gets moved, how do we deal Morphicon template?--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] ([[User talk:Higgs Raccoon|talk]]) 19:25, 3 May 2015 (EDT)

:Oh, man, that's kinda tricky. My first thought was to move [[Morphicon]] to [[AnthrOhio]], but keep individual event articles (like [[Morphicon 2004]]) at their "Morphicon" pages, and make the Morphicon template split between sections of events that occurred as "Morphicon" and those that occured as "AnthrOhio". But...that might not be the best idea. Has any other information on this been released? Knowing if there's been a drastic change in staff could help us decide. --[[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - [[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 20:19, 3 May 2015 (EDT)

::Comment before leaving to sleep: We don't seem to have a set procedure for this kind of thing. The [[Unthrocon]] article got moved to [[Furry Unlocked]] when its name changed, but, OTOH, a new article was created when [[MiDFur]] became [[ConFurgence]].--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] ([[User talk:Higgs Raccoon|talk]]) 20:38, 3 May 2015 (EDT)

::I think moving the article is a reasonable choice, if that is clearly the name that the convention is going to be known as in the future and they otherwise intend to run the same event. Might as well be the first page to use it. The template could be moved as well leaving a redirect and it should work as expected on old articles. The past conventions were named e.g. "Morphicon X" so they remain there. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 02:30, 4 May 2015 (EDT)

::I'm less sure of what to do with [[:Category:Morphicon staff]] and [[:Category:Morphicon guests of honor]]. Technically staff and guests participate in particular instances of conventions, not the entire sequence, so you could argue that they were attached to that name; at the same time, if we want to know "who has been staff/a guest at this ongoing event" it might make more sense to have one category. Of course, there is the claim that there is significant change in staffing and programming (including guests?) which might justify the new name, so maybe there will not be too much overlap. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 02:49, 4 May 2015 (EDT)

:::Staff and GOH categories should stay at their "Morphicon" designation; if they serve as staff/GOH under the new name, they should get an additional AnthrOhio category. --[[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - [[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 08:00, 4 May 2015 (EDT)

:::The "significant change in staffing" claim is based on Morphicon as it stood in 2015 compared to its inaugural event. The AnthrOhio events will be considered of the same lineage as Morphicon but under a different name, and at this moment the AnthrOhio staff list is identical to Morphicon 2015.--[[User:Edward Hyena|Edward Hyena]]([[User talk:Edward Hyena|talk]]) 01:16, 9 May 2015 (EDT)

I'm new to editing wikis, and am not sure what I need to do to get these changes finalized. -- [[User:CJ Columbus Jim|CJ Columbus Jim]] 14:35, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
:Hi CJ. I've cited this conversation as a reference, and given our cache a kick - it should show the current version of the article. For some reason the old version got stuck in there and wouldn't go even after a purge. Hopefully will be fixed with a forthcoming upgrade, which has better compatibility with our caching system. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 14:27, 29 May 2013 (EDT)

==Name change==
Morphicon seems to be renaming itself "AnthrOhio" (https://twitter.com/Morphicon/status/594992513880035328). Should this article be moved, or a new one started for the new name? If it gets moved, how do we deal Morphicon template?--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] ([[User talk:Higgs Raccoon|talk]]) 19:25, 3 May 2015 (EDT)

:Oh, man, that's kinda tricky. My first thought was to move [[Morphicon]] to [[AnthrOhio]], but keep individual event articles (like [[Morphicon 2004]]) at their "Morphicon" pages, and make the Morphicon template split between sections of events that occurred as "Morphicon" and those that occured as "AnthrOhio". But...that might not be the best idea. Has any other information on this been released? Knowing if there's been a drastic change in staff could help us decide. --[[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - [[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 20:19, 3 May 2015 (EDT)

::Comment before leaving to sleep: We don't seem to have a set procedure for this kind of thing. The [[Unthrocon]] article got moved to [[Furry Unlocked]] when its name changed, but, OTOH, a new article was created when [[MiDFur]] became [[ConFurgence]].--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] ([[User talk:Higgs Raccoon|talk]]) 20:38, 3 May 2015 (EDT)

::I think moving the article is a reasonable choice, if that is clearly the name that the convention is going to be known as in the future and they otherwise intend to run the same event. Might as well be the first page to use it. The template could be moved as well leaving a redirect and it should work as expected on old articles. The past conventions were named e.g. "Morphicon X" so they remain there. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 02:30, 4 May 2015 (EDT)

::I'm less sure of what to do with [[:Category:Morphicon staff]] and [[:Category:Morphicon guests of honor]]. Technically staff and guests participate in particular instances of conventions, not the entire sequence, so you could argue that they were attached to that name; at the same time, if we want to know "who has been staff/a guest at this ongoing event" it might make more sense to have one category. Of course, there is the claim that there is significant change in staffing and programming (including guests?) which might justify the new name, so maybe there will not be too much overlap. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 02:49, 4 May 2015 (EDT)

:::Staff and GOH categories should stay at their "Morphicon" designation; if they serve as staff/GOH under the new name, they should get an additional AnthrOhio category. --[[User:Equivamp|Equivamp]] - [[User talk:Equivamp|talk]] 08:00, 4 May 2015 (EDT)

:::The "significant change in staffing" claim is based on Morphicon as it stood in 2015 compared to its inaugeration. The AnthrOhio events will be considered of the same lineage as Morphicon but under a different name, and at this moment the AnthrOhio staff list is identical to Morphicon 2015.--[[User:Edward Hyena|Edward Hyena]]([[User talk:Edward Hyena|talk]]) 01:16, 9 May 2015 (EDT)

'''AnthrOhio''' is a [[furry convention]] in [[Wikipedia:Columbus, Ohio|Columbus, Ohio]], held between 2003 and 2015 as '''Morphicon'''. Since 2008, it attracted roughly 275-310 attendees annually.
__NOTOC__
==History==

Morphicon began during a trip to have dinner and see ''[[The Lion King]]'' in February 2003. By the end of the evening, it had been resolved that there needed to be a local convention.

'''Morphicon Zero''', "The Zeroth Iteration", occurred June 21, 2003 as a furry all-day picnic held in Sharon Woods Park on the north side of Columbus, OH. Attendance was approximately 40.

After [[Morphicon 2015]], the convention was rebranded to AnthrOhio to symbolize "shifts in staff and programming" and to distinguish the event from [[Wikipedia:Power Rangers|Power Rangers]] convention Power Morphicon.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Morphicon/status/594992513880035328 Tweet] on the Morphicon account on [[Twitter]]. Dated May 3, 2015. Retrieved May 3, 2015.</ref>

==Morphicon Corporation==

Morphicon was run by Morphicon Corporation, a non-profit organization founded 12 February 2004 by A. Wolf ([[Trickster]]), E. Dyer ([[Pelzig]]), and M. Pinnegar ([[Jewel (Morphicon staff)|Jewel]]). M. Woods ([[Ostrich_%28person%29|Ostrich]]) was also a founder of the initial corporation, though he does not appear on the original signing document.<ref>[http://www2.sos.state.oh.us/reports/rwservlet?imgc&Din=200404403160 Morphicon Corporation - Initial Articles of Incorporation] (12 February 2004)</ref> A. Wolf resigned from the Board in January 2008 due to personal time commitments. C. Smith ([[Max Goof]]) formally resigned from the board, and as convention chair, in 2008.

The Morphicon Board of Directors consisted{{when}} of [[Akea]], [[Columbus Jim]], [[Edward Hyena]], and [[Snap]].

The Morphicon Corporation had federal [[Wikipedia:501(c)(7)|501(c)(7)]] non-profit status.<ref>[http://nonprofitlocator.org/organizations/oh/columbus/562423494-morphicon-corporation Nonprofit Locator - Morphicon Corporation]</ref>

Furry Connection North 2008

2008-04-17T02:06:16Z

Edward Hyena: Post con edits.

[[Image:Furry Connection North.png|right|250px|Furry Connection North]]
'''Furry Connection North''' or '''FCN''' is a [[convention]] first held on April 11-13, 2008 at the Best Western Executive Plaza in [[Wikipedia:Ann Arbor, Michigan|Ann Arbor]], [[Wikipedia:Michigan|Michigan]], U.S.A.<ref>[http://www.furryconnect.com/fcnpln08/Furry_connection_north_flyer_revised.pdf Furry Connection North 2008 flyer]</ref>

The first year's [[guest of honor]] was [[MixedCandy]] Productions ([[Latin Vixen]] and [[Adam Fisher]]). Programming included performances by [[Uncle Kage]] and [[2 the Ranting Gryphon]], a live recording of [[2 Sense]], and an "Alcohol Appreciation" panel led by Kage, 2, and [[Jibba Foxcoon]]. Dances were held on all three nights featuring a powerful sound system and laser effects, as well as a full laser show on Sunday night.

The focus of the convention was on giving the event a big party feel while still including traditional convention elements. In addition to traditional convention programming on their main stage there was a "Make Your Own Programming" room in which people signed up to use the room to discuss whatever topics they like. The convention featured a video gaming room and a board gaming room, which hosted tournaments for poker, pool, Rock Band, and Dance Dance Revolution as well as open gaming. The convention hotel also had a large atrium which was used for hang out space as well as allowing artists to draw badges and sketches without signed up in the dealer's room. The hotel was designed such that many of the guest rooms opened directly into the lobby or atrium.

For attendees who registered for the event as sponsors, humorously being referred to as “pimps,” a special sponsors lounge with snacks, warm meals, slushes, soda, and beer on tap was available.<ref>[http://www.furryconnect.com/memberships.php Furry Connection North - Memberships] (as of 15 March 2008)</ref>

2 the Ranting Gryphon posted that "Gir (the con chair) and I came up with the idea for FCN because we wanted to show some furs a good time."<ref>[http://2-gryphon.livejournal.com/173436.html FCN] - LiveJournal post by [[2_gryphon]] (21 February 2008)</ref>

[[Dealer]]s for 2008 included: [[Arikla]], [[Branwyn]], [[BrerBadger]], [[Bushycat]], [[Diana Stein]], [[Heather Bruton]], [[Jaeger Fuchs]], [[Lascivus Lutra]], [[Mary Mouse]], [[Swiftkill]] and [[Tod Wills]].<ref>[http://www.furryconnect.com/dealers.php Furry Connection North - Dealers] (as of 15 March 2008)</ref>

The event sold out its hotel for Saturday night, and reached an attendance of 372 by the closing ceremonies. The Saturday morning fursuit parade had 57 participants. It has been announced that the con will return in 2009 with the Prohibition as a theme. More details will be available soon.

MIFur

Edward Hyena:

'''MIFur''' is a social group founded in the mid 1990s that consists mainly of fans and lifestylers in [[wikipedia:Michigan|Michigan]]. The group has grown to include those who are from Michigan originally, those who live in neighboring states, or just people who want to talk to other members, know as "MIFurs". The group has an open membership policy, and anyone who wishes to participate in the community is welcome to do so.

Main points of content in the past have been a mailing list maintained by [[Gir Tygrin]] and a [[LiveJournal]] Community maintaintained by [[Gir Tygrin]], [[Nik Vulper]], and [[Wildfox]].

In April 2007, Gir Tygrin created a website to function as a new main point of contact between furs : MichiganFurs.com. The website is a constant work in progress, currently featuring forums, a chat, an event calendar, photo gallery, and email. The website has grown to include more than 370 members in it's first year of existence.

The largest social gatherings for the MIFur group are monthly [[furmeets]] organized by [[Gir Tygrin]]. Usual events include dinner at a local restaurant, miniature golf, bowling, or outdoor events at the park. A majority of these events are focused on the Ann Arbor area. Other meets are organized by members and information is posted on the website or livejournal.

In 2008 some members of MIFur decided to organize a [[Furry Connection North]]. The inaugural event will be held in Ann Arbor on April 11-13, 2008.
