'''Matthew Wayne Davis''', also known as '''2, The Ranting Gryphon''' and '''2 Gryphon''', is an amateur comedian who performs mainly at [[science fiction|sci-fi]] and [[furry fandom|furry]] [[conventions]] who lives in [[W:Colorado Springs, Colorado|Colorado Springs, Colorado]], USA.

== Biography ==

Born in August 11, 1972, 2 has been a performer for most of his life. He began as a [[Wikipedia:Rock and roll|rock]] guitarist in the [[Wikipedia:1980s|1980's]]. He then ventured into the sci-fi and [[fantasy]] fields, doing comedy events at conventions during the [[Wikipedia:1990s|1990's]].

A member of the [[furry fandom]], he has a [[gryphon]] [[fursona]]. His name allegedly came to him in a dream about the creature. He regularly attends [[furry conventions]] and often performs [[Wikipedia:Stand-up comedy|stand up]] there. He has been the [[guest of honor]] at [[Califur 0]], [[Oklacon]] 2004, [[Rocket City FurMeet]] 2005, [[Feral!]] 2006, [[RBW 2007]], and [[MiDFur]] X (2008).

2 was a guest of honor at [[Rocky Mountain Fur Con 2013]].<ref name="about">http://www.rockymountainfurcon.org/about-us.html Retrieved August 4, 2013.</ref>

2 was a founding member of [[Furry Connection North]], and was previously on staff at [[Furry Weekend Atlanta]] and [[Rocket City Furmeet]].

2 formerly resided in [[Wikipedia:Arkansas|Arkansas]], [[Wikipedia:United States|USA]], in a social collective of fellow furry fans/artists ("furs"), known as the [[NARFA|North Arkansas Regional Furry Association]] (NARFA), and also formerly lived in [[Wikipedia:Ypsilanti, Michigan|Ypsilanti, Michigan]].

2 Gryphon was inducted into the [[Furry hall of fame|Furry Hall of Fame]] at [[MiDFur#MiDFur 11: At The Movies (2009)|MiDFur 2009]] by his mentor Uncle Kage, and MiDFur Chairman CynWolfe.

== Performances ==
[[file:2-the-ranting-gryphon.jpg|right|thumb|200px|2's [[fursona]], as drawn by [[Jessie T. Wolf]]]]
2 also performs and records audio 'rants', and hosted an Internet radio show called [[2 Sense]] which ran for 87 mostly-weekly episodes, up to two hours in length, before being discontinued due to time and work constraints on July 2nd, 2005, at the peak of its popularity. [http://www.ranting-gryphon.com/2sense.htm 2 Sense 2.0] debuted on November 12, 2006 and ended at Episode 52. [[2 Sense 2.2]], with a scheduled start date of June 4, 2010, is next in the [[2 Sense]] line and is to be a video broadcast, a major change after the audio-only setup of the previous seasons.

2 ranted about many things during the early stages of his website. His rants were between 3-6 minutes long and normally focused on three areas. These areas are [[Wikipedia:religion|religions]] (rants about [[Wikipedia:holy wars|holy wars]], prayer, and [[Wikipedia:Christmas|Christmas]]), political issues (delving into such issues as [[Wikipedia:gay pride|gay pride]], hunting, guns, abortion, and the U. S. military), and the furry fandom itself. Rants on the latter are geared specifically to that community, and thus less accessible to those outside the fandom, and have dealt with [[Further Confusion]], [[Anthrocon]], [[furry artist|fur artists]] and "Muck Talk".

The rants were originally scripted and were released on average once every two months. Their main purpose was for 2 to spread his opinions.
His latest rants have dealt with [[Wikipedia:Intelligent design|intelligent design]], the [[Wikipedia:news media|news media]] and [[wikipedia:Justice|justice]]. He has also released his second outtake reel, and has moved on to producing his rants in video format, which he started posting to YouTube in March 2007.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMbKqtjv2vM 2, The Ranting Gryphon - Do Your Job!], rant uploaded 28 March 2007. Retrieved 9 Aug 2007.</ref> There are over 50+ Rant topics in total.

Before the rants however, 2 created a lot of music. Some of the more popular songs include "Salvation" and "Jaunt". In the 1980s, 2 had originally hoped to become a rock artist, and still aspires to make music professionally.

2's rants were once [http://www.portalofevil.com/single.php?poeurlid=9727 featured] on the [[Portal of Evil]]. He responded by [http://www.werewolves.org/%7Etwo/Rants/2rant-portalofevil.mp3 posting a rant] about [[atrocity tourism]], which was subsequently subjected to a [http://www.crushyiffdestroy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1534 techno remixing] by Nick C, a member of [[Portal of Evil]].

In September 2007, the online edition of the German newspaper ''Süddeutsche Zeitung'' featured one of 2's video rants and an excerpt of his live performance at [[Eurofurence|Eurofurence 12]] in their ''Internet Video of the Week'' column, comparing his style of comedy with [[Wikipedia:Woody Allen|Woody Allen]] and [[Wikipedia:David Byrne (musician)|David Byrne]].<ref>[http://www.sueddeutsche.de/,ra4m5/kultur/artikel/927/133677/ ''Das Internetvideo der Woche''], Süddeutsche Zeitung, Online Edition 2007-09-20</ref>

2 also appeared in a parody of the Beastie Boys video Sabotage. The video was shot at [[Anthrocon]] 2004.

==LSD files==

2 has been making poetic audio files known as the Lucid Sonic Delusions. At present he has released two of them on his official website, with plans to release a whole new series as time goes on.

It is thought that the files were named LSD Files because they give the same euphoric feel as the drug of the same name (though they have nothing to do with drugs). The files are in fact named Lucid Sonic Delusions; this may have been on purpose so that the initials would be LSD, but this has not been confirmed.

The two LSD files released so far are:
* [http://www.ranting-gryphon.com/Audio/LSD-Thehole.mp3 The Hole]
* [http://www.ranting-gryphon.com/Audio/LSD-Thebox.mp3 The Box]

==Dear 2==

2 Gryphon is doing a short show (if it can indeed be considered a show) approximately 10 minutes long in which he answers letters sent in by (presumably) past 2 Sense listeners and fans of his website. The show is identical to the Dear 2 segment from 2 Sense with the exception of there being no co-host. This show has no actual release date and is released based on the amount of mail received and time restraints on 2 himself. Dear 2 is expected to end when 2 Sense 2.0 starts.

==DVDs==
[[File:TT-largeRantingGryphonDVD.gif|right|thumb|DVD Cover for the second DVD "The Truth"]]
2 the Ranting Gryphon has released six DVDs and a CD since 2002. These are available to buy from 2's official website.

The first DVD, "Rolling A One", is a one hour long comedy show recorded live at Anthrocon in 2002.

The second DVD, "The Truth", is a one hour long comedy show recorded live at Anthrocon in 2003. It includes commentary from 2 and Lord Skandranon on one track, and a separate track consisting of 2, [[Lord Skandranon]], [[Skates]], and [[Krahnos]]. The DVD also includes the infamous "chocolate bunny death" video.

The third DVD, "The Gods Hate Me", is a one hour long comedy show recorded live at Anthrocon in 2004. Among the DVD's special features are a full length MST3K style commentary from 2, the DVD's creator Lord Skandranon and their friend [[Gir Tygrin]] (who in the video refers to himself as random other guy), some random bonus footage, and an explanation of the "beer shot" joke.

Plans for a fourth DVD, "Place Gryphon Here", were scrapped due to technical problems while recording the shows at [[Anthrocon 2005]] and [[Midwest FurFest 2005]]. Instead, an audio CD was released that contains audio from both. It replaces an earlier audio CD that has gone out of print.

A fourth DVD was eventually released, called "Live In Germany". This DVD is a one hour long comedy show recorded live at Eurofurence 12 in 2006.

Two other DVDs have also been released, "Yiff in Hell" in 2008 and "Apocalypse of Cute" in 2009.

== In comics ==

2 is referred to in a [[Jack]] [http://www.pholph.com/strip.php?id=5&sid=1312 comic short], in which a "ranting talent agent" whose species is a gryphon has a small '#2' written in over his head.
2 is also referenced twice in the online comic [[Loserz]] by [[Erik Schoenek]]<ref>http://bukucomics.com/loserz/go/265

"Al" the Albino Fox

{{unref}}
'''"Al" the Albino Fox''', also known as '''Albino Fox''' and '''Al the Fox''', '''Al Sonic''' in [[Second Life]], is an [[artist]].

== Fandom involvement ==

Al's [[furry]] experience reaches back to his online introduction with the scene in 2003 at the age of 15. His furry clues leading up to this point were that, while some animated characters lost appeal with time, some such as Sonic stuck around in his mind.

He appears on [[Second Life]] as '''Al Sonic''', a two-tailed [[Fox|white fox]] with red eyes, and shoes in the style of those worn by [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]], the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' [[character]]. He's not in the habit of changing his [[avatar]], though he occasionally switches forms by the use of [[alt]]s. He is a wandering builder in with a history of working for friends such as [[Steel the Warrior|Steel Musketeer]], [[Maxfox Rau]], and [[Mars_Dark_Dragon|Dragonic Rokocoko]].

While studying for an associate's degree in digital art, he has attempted to post a few of his furry works on [[Fur Affinity]], but making these efforts happen is almost entirely dependent on his free time.

"Al" the Albino Fox has been a regular [[Anthrocon]] attendee since 2008.

[[file:2-the-ranting-gryphon.jpg|right|thumb|200px|2's [[fursona]], as drawn by [[Jessie T. Wolf]]]]
2 also performs and records audio 'rants', and hosted an Internet radio show called [[2 Sense]] which ran for 87 mostly-weekly episodes, up to two hours in length, before being discontinued due to time and work constraints on July 2nd, 2005, at the peak of its popularity. [http://www.ranting-gryphon.com/2sense.htm 2 Sense 2.0] debuted on November 12, 2006 and ended at Episode 52. [[2 Sense 2.2]], with a scheduled start date of June 4, 2010, is next in the [[2 Sense]] line and is to be a video broadcast, a major change after the audio-only setup of the previous seasons.

2 ranted about many things during the early stages of his website. His rants were between 3-6 minutes long and normally focused on three areas. These areas are [[Wikipedia:religion|religions]] (rants about [[Wikipedia:holy wars|holy wars]], prayer, and [[Wikipedia:Christmas|Christmas]]), political issues (delving into such issues as [[Wikipedia:gay pride|gay pride]], hunting, guns, abortion, and the U. S. military), and the furry fandom itself. Rants on the latter are geared specifically to that community, and thus less accessible to those outside the fandom, and have dealt with [[Further Confusion]], [[Anthrocon]], [[furry artist|fur artists]] and "Muck Talk".

The rants were originally scripted and were released on average once every two months. Their main purpose was for 2 to spread his opinions.
His latest rants have dealt with [[Wikipedia:Intelligent design|intelligent design]], the [[Wikipedia:news media|news media]] and [[wikipedia:Justice|justice]]. He has also released his second outtake reel, and has moved on to producing his rants in video format, which he started posting to YouTube in March 2007.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMbKqtjv2vM 2, The Ranting Gryphon - Do Your Job!], rant uploaded 28 March 2007. Retrieved 9 Aug 2007.</ref> There are over 50+ Rant topics in total.

Before the rants however, 2 created a lot of music. Some of the more popular songs include "Salvation" and "Jaunt". In the 1980s, 2 had originally hoped to become a rock artist, and still aspires to make music professionally.

2's rants were once [http://www.portalofevil.com/single.php?poeurlid=9727 featured] on the [[Portal of Evil]]. He responded by [http://www.werewolves.org/%7Etwo/Rants/2rant-portalofevil.mp3 posting a rant] about [[atrocity tourism]], which was subsequently subjected to a [http://www.crushyiffdestroy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1534 techno remixing] by Nick C, a member of [[Portal of Evil]].

In September 2007, the online edition of the German newspaper ''Süddeutsche Zeitung'' featured one of 2's video rants and an excerpt of his live performance at [[Eurofurence|Eurofurence 12]] in their ''Internet Video of the Week'' column, comparing his style of comedy with [[Wikipedia:Woody Allen|Woody Allen]] and [[Wikipedia:David Byrne (musician)|David Byrne]].<ref>[http://www.sueddeutsche.de/,ra4m5/kultur/artikel/927/133677/ ''Das Internetvideo der Woche''], Süddeutsche Zeitung, Online Edition 2007-09-20</ref>

2 also appeared in a parody of the Beastie Boys video Sabotage. The video was shot at [[Anthrocon]] 2004.

==LSD files==

2 has been making poetic audio files known as the Lucid Sonic Delusions. At present he has released two of them on his official website, with plans to release a whole new series as time goes on.

It is thought that the files were named LSD Files because they give the same euphoric feel as the drug of the same name (though they have nothing to do with drugs). The files are in fact named Lucid Sonic Delusions; this may have been on purpose so that the initials would be LSD, but this has not been confirmed.

The two LSD files released so far are:

* [http://www.ranting-gryphon.com/Audio/LSD-Thebox.mp3 The Box]

==Dear 2==

2 Gryphon is doing a short show (if it can indeed be considered a show) approximately 10 minutes long in which he answers letters sent in by (presumably) past 2 Sense listeners and fans of his website. The show is identical to the Dear 2 segment from 2 Sense with the exception of there being no co-host. This show has no actual release date and is released based on the amount of mail received and time restraints on 2 himself. Dear 2 is expected to end when 2 Sense 2.0 starts.

==DVDs==
[[File:TT-largeRantingGryphonDVD.gif|right|thumb|DVD Cover for the second DVD "The Truth"]]
2 the Ranting Gryphon has released six DVDs and a CD since 2002. These are available to buy from 2's official website.

The first DVD, "Rolling A One", is a one hour long comedy show recorded live at Anthrocon in 2002.

The second DVD, "The Truth", is a one hour long comedy show recorded live at Anthrocon in 2003. It includes commentary from 2 and Lord Skandranon on one track, and a separate track consisting of 2, [[Lord Skandranon]], [[Skates]], and [[Krahnos]]. The DVD also includes the infamous "chocolate bunny death" video.

The third DVD, "The Gods Hate Me", is a one hour long comedy show recorded live at Anthrocon in 2004. Among the DVD's special features are a full length MST3K style commentary from 2, the DVD's creator Lord Skandranon and their friend [[Gir Tygrin]] (who in the video refers to himself as random other guy), some random bonus footage, and an explanation of the "beer shot" joke.

Plans for a fourth DVD, "Place Gryphon Here", were scrapped due to technical problems while recording the shows at [[Anthrocon 2005]] and [[Midwest FurFest 2005]]. Instead, an audio CD was released that contains audio from both. It replaces an earlier audio CD that has gone out of print.

A fourth DVD was eventually released, called "Live In Germany". This DVD is a one hour long comedy show recorded live at Eurofurence 12 in 2006.

Two other DVDs have also been released, "Yiff in Hell" in 2008 and "Apocalypse of Cute" in 2009.
