Talk:FurFest Northwest

2007-10-08T22:57:56Z

KieferSkunk: /* More comments from 4.242.144.243, just to be fair */ Reply to Dmuth

== Controversy section? ==

The [http://community.livejournal.com/furfestnw/ FurFest Northwest] community on [[LiveJournal]] has been deleted, but I remember reading some discussion there concerning the name similarity to [[Midwest Furfest]]; there might be some reference to that elsewhere as well.

A number of other concerns were raised in [http://community.livejournal.com/artists_beware/87990.html a post to artists_beware] (again, on LiveJournal) last week, with considerable discussion going on in comments. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 21:06, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

:Just did some cleanup and added a controversy section. -- [[User:Frizzy|Frizzy]] 09:44, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

:Re: Sine's comment about discussion about the name similarity issue on the FurFest Northwest community - yes, there was a long thread between Rex and Silly_Otter at the beginning of July, where S_O brought up several important legal points about why appropriation of the name might be a bad idea, presented in a calm, helpful manner. Rex pretty much shouted him down on the basis of "you're just some 19 year old kid from thousands of miles away whose opinion doesn't matter." Rex deleted the thread on the afternoon of July 4. ----[[User:DuncanDaHusky|DuncanDaHusky]]([[User talk:DuncanDaHusky|talk]]) 12:26, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

== Link(s) to alternatives? ==

Does anybody mind if I repost a link to [[RainFurrest]] for the Pacific Northwesters? This isn't about being opportunistic since I'm not even from Washington, but I love the area and it'd be nice to help the locals find a con in their region. -- [[User:Frizzy|Frizzy]] 09:44, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

:Honestly, I don't think a link to RainFurrest is appropriate. There are other ways that a person can find conventions in the Washington area (like maybe looking at the front page of the site) and I don't see any other way for it to be read besides being opportunistic, even if that isn't the original intention. ----[[User:DuncanDaHusky|DuncanDaHusky]]([[User talk:DuncanDaHusky|talk]]) 12:17, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

::Okee doke =^_^= -- [[User:Frizzy|Frizzy]] 13:12, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

:It would be nice if there was a category to be linked in to. Cons -> Cons by Region. --[[User:Blueroo|Blueroo]] 09:54, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

== Lawsuit threat? ==

Quoting from the article:
:''culminating in Con Chair Rex Wolf threatening to bring a lawsuit against the person originally bring up concerns about the con.''
Can we geta cititation on this? It sounds pretty serious. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 15:46, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

:I believe that is a reference to [http://rex-beowulf.livejournal.com/38191.html this post].
''Now I have to figure out if I'm willing to go through legal routes to defend FFN.''
''The guy is violating the law and slandering FFN.''
:I seem to recall the threat was mentioned elsewhere as well, though.----[[User:DuncanDaHusky|DuncanDaHusky]]([[User talk:DuncanDaHusky|talk]]) 16:09, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Although Rex deleted the official threat, I still have a copy of [http://www.seattlefenix.net/ffnw/lawsuit.html the post on the FFNW Bulletin Board] where he made the request asking a nebulous "you" if he should pursue legal action. He also made reference to legal action on [http://rex-beowulf.livejournal.com/38191.html his livejournal]. --[[User:Blueroo|Blueroo]] 23:58, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

: Good lord. Just who does he think he is? Oh well, that's good enough for me, thanks for providing the link! --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 02:20, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

::Dmuth, don't you know that the internet is '''SERIOUS BUSINESS'''? [[User:SpazKitty|Spaz Kitty]] 02:23, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

::: B-b-b-but... I thought the Internet was '''COMEDY GOLD'''? --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 02:54, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

::::No, no, the internet '''IS A SERIES OF TUBES''' [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 03:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

:::::The Internet is '''''FOR [[pornography|PORN]]''''' --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 03:27, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

== Not quite dead yet ==

[http://www.furfestnorthwest.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=19 I'm not quite sure to make of this.] Is the con still being held or not? There's not going to be a hotel, but there will be "a fursuiting event". Is this worth writing about in the main article? --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 02:35, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

: Doesn't look like the con's going to be held this year, still. Maybe something in spring. Other than that, it seems a rehash of the last paragraph of the text quoted in the article: that people can come, go see the wolves, and fursuit. --[[User:DataBank|DataBank]] 03:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

:: Rather condescending, isn't he? Also, now he's talking about trying to revive the con next Spring. That'll be interesting, considering other conventions (possibly) happening in that time frame. :P — [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 22:10, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

::: Allow me to post a couple links... [http://rex-beowulf.livejournal.com/102702.html Rex throwing up his hands and blaming everyone else for his decision to not run the con] and [http://rex-beowulf.livejournal.com/98797.html More blame game.] [[User:Teeka|Teeka]] 01:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

::::I'd just like to let the record speak for itself. AFF's first year was a rousing success, with very few problems, and it has received resoundingly positive feedback, both at the con and afterward. We had nearly three times the number of people we expected to have. We entertained the vast majority of our attendees. We only had a couple of relatively minor hiccups (one related to the Art Show and one or two with the hotel), and I think the worst of our feedback had to do with some website issues, nearly all of which have already been addressed.

::::No convention can be expected to turn a profit in its first year. We went into this with the expectation that we would lose quite a bit in our first year, following the guidance of those who have been there before - even the most successful of conventions. But moreover: We went into this with the expectation that it would be fun and rewarding in other ways, and it was. It was a learning experience and a wonderful way for us to give back to our community, having all been patrons of fun conventions in the past.

::::Officially, All Fur Fun has nothing against Rex, and wishes him well in any future endeavors he may pursue. — '''[[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]]''' ([[User talk:KieferSkunk|talk]]) — 05:32, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

== Comments from 4.242.144.104 ==
(Context [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=FurFest_Northwest&diff=prev&oldid=130129 here])
:(Rex: there was NEVER a THREAT of legal action; there was a request for feedback on whether legal recourse should be considered in an effort to save FurFest Northwest due to the lible by Blueroo in his post on Artist_Beware.)
:(Rex: This is not true. One attempt was made to contact me directly via an email address no longer used for con business by Wicked Sairah, wife of Blueroo, the one who initiated the lies about FFN planning)
:(Rex: this is not true either, only ONE post was deleted, which was an attempt by SR Foxley to scare people away from the con by indicating that the hotel had burned to the ground and the con would not take place - totally untrue and thus deletion was justified.)
:(Rex: The board was made admin only due to spambots and repeated attempts by certain persons to attack FurFest Northwest. Coincidentally, Kieferskunk, one of those attacking the board, was on staff of All Fur Fun also.
:(Rex: yup, because I was putting out $25/month of my own money to fund it.)
:(Rex: This was because they were recruited by SR Foxley, who funded Fun Fur All to the tune of $5,000 out of his own pocket, effectively bribing the FFN staff BEFORE FFN was cancelled.)
:(Rex: Summary: FurFest Northwest was an attempt to replace ConifurNW, which was cancelled 4 months prior to its scheduled time. I made every effort to plan this con to the best of my abilities. It would have been successful had it not been for the collusion between SR Foxley, Blueroo, and Wicked Sairah; who perpetuated untrue rumors about FurFest Northwest. I really enjoy how this article was written without contacting the staff to get the facts.)
{{unsigned|4.242.144.104}}

::A whole $25/month? Wow, that's some dedication.

:: Sarcasm aside, you make some pretty serious accusations there, Rex. I see accusations against Blueroo, Wicked Sairah, SR Foxley, Kieferskunk, and "spambots" covering things from libel, bribery and "collusion".

:: I hope that you have some evidence to back these statements up. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 02:54, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

::: He doesn't. Rex has a way of making up things and believing them to be true (or rather, greatly enhancing the details of certain events). For instance, SR had made a note on the FFNW board saying there had been a small fire and Rex may want to look into it. Rather than reassuring people and answering that everything was fine, he deleted the message, which of course made people worried and angry (unfortunately we didn't have the foresight to save a copy of that message, or I'd be glad to paste it here. We didn't know the extent of Rex's "management skills.") I could go on. The staff of All Fur Fun has decided to ignore Rex and leave him alone, and yet he continues to slander us in his journal. I apologize if this brings up unnecessary drama, but I wanted to be able to actually say our side of the story in a place that it would not be deleted. I'm tired of keeping my mouth shut on this issue. [[User:Teeka|Teeka]] 03:22, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

::::Might I just add that Rex MIGHT have some evidence to back up his claims if he hadn't deleted it from his message board. :P — '''[[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]]''' ([[User talk:KieferSkunk|talk]]) — 23:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

::::For some actual facts in this, by the way: All Fur Fun was founded by Moorcat, one of Rex's staff, after FFNW had been cancelled. The concept of All Fur Fun had not even been discussed amongst the group of friends that became AFF's staff until well after FFNW was cancelled. While it is true that SR funded a large portion of the convention out of his own pocket, it was neither a bribe nor an offer of money for anyone else in the group. Rather, we like to think of it as a case where friends who work well together can actually come together and make something good actually happen. — '''[[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]]''' ([[User talk:KieferSkunk|talk]]) — 23:25, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

== More comments from 4.242.144.243, just to be fair ==

Unless Wikifur wants to be held liable for slander, these comments from Kiefer, Teeka, SR, Blueroo and others need to be deleted.

This is not a threat. This is a promise. {{unsigned|4.242.144.243|10 September 2007 23:50}}

:It's only slander when it's not true, silly! — '''[[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]]''' ([[User talk:KieferSkunk|talk]]) — 22:03, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

:Rex seems to not know the difference between Slander and Libel. Me thinks he took the $5 law class and not the $10 law class! --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 14:15, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

::It's probably not terribly important what the difference is between the two - the root of both is defamation of character.

:: To settle this: Quite simply, the paper for which the book was designed and on which it was printed is standard US Legal size, folded once to create Half-Legal pages. US Legal is defined in inches and thus metric measures are an after-the-fact approximation. Believe me when I say that my use of the Imperial measurement system isn't intended as a slight toward anybody nor is it the result of ignorance on my part; seriously, it's merely a concession to the reality of what paper sizes were available to get a pleasant yet slightly atypical page size without expensive cutting. [[User:Tracerj|Tracerj]] 03:12, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
:::The measurements I added to the article were found by checking my copy of the conbook with a ruler, so they aren't aproximations except insofar as any physical meaurement is. I used metric measurements because those are the standard I habitually use in bibliographical description, following the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (second edition, 2002 revision, 2003 update). The article now includes both metric and imperial units, thanks to Ekevu; I perceive no reason to have only one set of numbers or the other. -- [[User:KDelany|KDelany]] 06:52, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

== All Fur Fun 2008 ==
There have been lots of updates on the site, news and forums. I'd update the All Fur Fun wiki myself, but I tend to...um...suck at it. XD A few highlights... the official dates for AFF '08 are April 18 - 20, 2008, and the con will be held again next year at the Ridpath hotel. The theme for '08 is Pajama Party. The GoH is FoxyFennec (by the same name on FurAffinity). Thanks to whoever takes the time to update, I really really appreciate it, with love and lovesprinkles!

== Vandalism? ==
I noticed the tag on the page itself, saying the page will be locked until the vandalism has been abated. What vandalism? o.o I'm just curious, I have nothing to add to the page right now. XD --[[User:Teeka|Teeka]] 15:17, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

:Take a look at [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=All_Fur_Fun&diff=164703&oldid=164701 this link] for an example. Someone blanked the entire page and replaced it with "Furrys suck" several times, likely getting himself blocked. Protecting the page is a natural step in the process to keep us from having to repeatedly revert such edits.

== Controversy section? ==

The [http://community.livejournal.com/furfestnw/ FurFest Northwest] community on [[LiveJournal]] has been deleted, but I remember reading some discussion there concerning the name similarity to [[Midwest Furfest]]; there might be some reference to that elsewhere as well.

A number of other concerns were raised in [http://community.livejournal.com/artists_beware/87990.html a post to artists_beware] (again, on LiveJournal) last week, with considerable discussion going on in comments. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 21:06, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

:Re: Sine's comment about discussion about the name similarity issue on the FurFest Northwest community - yes, there was a long thread between Rex and Silly_Otter at the beginning of July, where S_O brought up several important legal points about why appropriation of the name might be a bad idea, presented in a calm, helpful manner. Rex pretty much shouted him down on the basis of "you're just some 19 year old kid from thousands of miles away whose opinion doesn't matter." Rex deleted the thread on the afternoon of July 4. ----[[User:DuncanDaHusky|DuncanDaHusky]]([[User talk:DuncanDaHusky|talk]]) 12:26, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

:(Rex: there was NEVER a THREAT of legal action; there was a request for feedback on whether legal recourse should be considered in an effort to save FurFest Northwest due to the lible by Blueroo in his post on Artist_Beware.)
:(Rex: This is not true. One attempt was made to contact me directly via an email address no longer used for con business by Wicked Sairah, wife of Blueroo, the one who initiated the lies about FFN planning)
:(Rex: this is not true either, only ONE post was deleted, which was an attempt by SR Foxley to scare people away from the con by indicating that the hotel had burned to the ground and the con would not take place - totally untrue and thus deletion was justified.)
:(Rex: The board was made admin only due to spambots and repeated attempts by certain persons to attack FurFest Northwest. Coincidentally, Kieferskunk, one of those attacking the board, was on staff of All Fur Fun also.
:(Rex: yup, because I was putting out $25/month of my own money to fund it.)
:(Rex: This was because they were recruited by SR Foxley, who funded Fun Fur All to the tune of $5,000 out of his own pocket, effectively bribing the FFN staff BEFORE FFN was cancelled.)
:(Rex: Summary: FurFest Northwest was an attempt to replace ConifurNW, which was cancelled 4 months prior to its scheduled time. I made every effort to plan this con to the best of my abilities.

::A whole $25/month? Wow, that's some dedication.

::: He doesn't. Rex has a way of making up things and believing them to be true (or rather, greatly enhancing the details of certain events). For instance, SR had made a note on the FFNW board saying there had been a small fire and Rex may want to look into it. Rather than reassuring people and answering that everything was fine, he deleted the message, which of course made people worried and angry (unfortunately we didn't have the foresight to save a copy of that message, or I'd be glad to paste it here. We didn't know the extent of Rex's "management skills.") I could go on. The staff of All Fur Fun has decided to ignore Rex and leave him alone, and yet he continues to slander us in his journal.

The concept of All Fur Fun had not even been discussed amongst the group of friends that became AFF's staff until well after FFNW was cancelled. While it is true that SR funded a large portion of the convention out of his own pocket, it was neither a bribe nor an offer of money for anyone else in the group.

All Fur Fun

2007-04-09T15:47:35Z

KieferSkunk: Much as I love our logo, we should probably make it smaller.

[[Image:AllFurFun.png|right|150px|All Fur Fun]]
'''All Fur Fun''' is a [[furry]] [[convention]] that was first held from Friday March 30 to Sunday April 1, 2007 at the Ridpath Hotel in [[Wikipedia:Spokane, Washington|Spokane, Washington]], U.S.A.

==All Fur Fun 2007==
Registered attendance for the first All Fur Fun cost $30 before March 1, and $40 afterwards, with [[sponsorship]] levels of $100 and $250 beyond that. Hotel rates were $60 for up to 4 occupants, $10 for each additional person.

95 people pre-registered, and 84 of these attended. The total attendance for 2007 was 110, with 26 people registering at the door.<ref>''[http://community.livejournal.com/allfurfun/6255.html All Fur Fun 2007 Registration Statistics]'' by [[KieferSkunk]] in the [http://community.livejournal.com/allfurfun/ All Fur Fun LiveJournal]</ref>

Features included a [[Dealers Den|dealers den]], an [[art show]] and voice [[art aucton|auction]], several crafting and [[fursuit]]ing events, a [[fursuit parade]], a dance, and an ice cream social.

==Events==
The following panels and events took place at the 2007 convention:

*Make and Take Crafts: Working With and Painting Clay
*Fursuit Head and Body Building
*Whose Fur Is It Anyway?
*Packs, Prides and Leaps: Alternative Relationships and Lifestyles (hosted by [[Purr Meow]])
*What Does Furry Mean to You? (Roundtable philosophical discussion)
*Whose Fur Is It Anyway? (Furry-themed improv comedy)
*[[Wikipedia:Exquisite Corpse|Exquisite Corpse]] Reading by KieferSkunk<ref name="satschedule">Schedule: Saturday, March 31, in All Fur Fun 2007 conbook, p. 10.</ref>

*Visit by the [http://www.wolfpeople.com Wolf People] of [[Wikipedia:Sandpoint, Idaho|Sandpoint, Idaho]], with a live [[wolf]]
*Meet the [[Guest of Honor]]: [[Shadow Wolf|Katie Hofgard]] (aka. Wolf Nymph and Shadow Wolf)
*Art Techniques Panel
*Feedback Session

A panel on [[Second Life]] had also been scheduled, but was cancelled because the panel's host, [[Haphaestes]],<ref name="satschedule"/> could not attend.

==Sponsors==

In February 2007, approximately a month before the start of its first convention, All Fur Fun received a donation from former [[Conifur Northwest]] staff, consisting of a large number of art-show panels, a registration desk, several boxes of supplies, miscellaneous computer and electronic equipment, and a box full of plushies. In return for the donation, [[Flinthoof|Dan "Flinthoof" Canaan]] (former Conifur chairman) and [[Tibo|James "Tibo" Birdsall]] (Conifur founder) were named as All Fur Fun sponsors.<ref>''[http://community.livejournal.com/allfurfun/4488.html Special thanks to the former staff of Conifur!]'' by [[KieferSkunk]] in the [http://community.livejournal.com/allfurfun/ All Fur Fun LiveJournal]</ref>

In addition, two more people, [[Bahumat]] (of the [[Edmonton Furry Cabal]]) and [[Zyzxx]], sponsored the 2007 convention.

Thanks for clearing that up. [http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=25144588 Zyzxx's MySpace page] indicated a completely different geographic area so I wasn't sure what to make of it until your clarification in the [[All Fur Fun]] article. --[[User:Frizzy|Frizzy]] 22:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
