== merge dealer list? ==

Merge the 2008 dealer list into dealer list in "Rocky Mountain Fur Con 2008" article? --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 02:26, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

== OK to merge some of the stats into a table? ==

Lots of themes and attendance statistics. Might be best to have this summarized in a table before all of the breakout headings. Makes it quick to spot key stats (attendance, theme, location, Guests of Honor). Happy to do it, just wanted to get some more feedback on it.

Would look something like ...

:Hi, we usually keep the information about different yearly iterations of an event in separate articles, rather than including a large table of information such as you propose. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 14:28, 15 July 2013 (EDT)

::<del>Oh, I wasn't proposing that the article subheadings be removed. I was proposing that data best represented by a table be placed in a table. While some statistical data is good to use as an immediate reference so people aren't jumping from table to text, most of the time it's ideal display is in a table. A good example is the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GenCon GenCon] page on Wikipedia, specifically, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GenCon#Timeline Timeline] section. Migrating statistical data into a table would help remove numerical statistical information in the article subheadings when it's not generally needed, better organize numerical information into something quick to reference in a single subsection, and help utilize the subheadings to highlight key historical events for a particular instance of the convention instead of detracting from the historical content. -- [[User:Silverpalth|Silverpalth]] 12:05, 7 August 2013 (EDT)<del>

:: Gotcha. Might the table not be a good thing to have on the main page anyway as part of a Timeline section? It would be a convenient placeholder for statistics reference and for links to other specific conventions and Guests of Honor. Not to mention, it would still centralize all the statistics into one place for easy reference. --[[User:Silverpalth|Silverpalth]] 12:13, 7 August 2013 (EDT)

'''Fur the 'More''' is an annual [[furry]] [[convention]] in [[Wikipedia:Baltimore|Baltimore, Maryland]], USA. Its first event was held April 5-7, 2013 in the Hunt Valley Inn in [[Wikipedia:Hunt Valley, Maryland|Hunt Valley]], a suburb of Baltimore approximately 17 miles north of downtown. It includes charitable benefits, educational seminars, art shows, panels, and general social activities.

Fur the 'More began as an idea between a few friends in the Maryland furry community to start a local convention in Baltimore. The idea was originally started while attending the [[Furstivus]] convention in Philadelphia and the question was posed "Why doesn’t Baltimore have a convention?"{{fact}}

In March 2012, [[NorthEast Anthropomorphic Association]] offered to partner with Fur the 'More to back them as the umbrella 501(c)7 non-profit organization. As a result of negotiations, Fur the 'More became a NorthEast Anthropomorphic Association convention, and the primary founder and [[con-chair]] was offered a seat on the [[Board of Directors]] as a trustee.<ref>[http://www.furthemore.org/about/fur-the-more/ About Us] - Fur the 'More</ref>

== Guests of Honor ==
*;Year 1 (2013):
**Guest of Honor - [[Clockwork_Creature_Studio]]<ref>[http://furthemore.org/2012/07/guest-of-honor/ Guest of Honor]</ref>
**Artist Guest of Honor - [[SolidAsp]]<ref>[http://furthemore.org/2012/07/artist-guest-of-honor/ Artist Guest of Honor]</ref>
**Musical Guest of Honor - [[Look Left]]<ref>[http://furthemore.org/2012/04/music-guest-look-left/ Music Guest LOOK LEFT!] - Fur the 'More</ref>

*;Year 2 (2014):
**[[The Gneech]]
**[[RedCoatCat]] (also known as Meezer)]

== Themes ==
Like many [[convention|furry conventions]], Fur the 'More features a different theme every year.
* 2013: Time Traveler's Party (inaugural convention theme)
* 2014: Pirates vs. Ninjas (announced at the end of Fur the 'More 2013)

== Year one notes ==
The attendance for Fur the 'More 2013 amounted to 473<ref>[https://twitter.com/FurtheMore/status/321033721128042496 Fur the 'More Official Twitter 6:56 PM - 7 Apr 13]</ref> attendees (and at least 94 fursuiters<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10334451 Fur the 'More 1 (2013) Fursuit Parade Pic] - Fur the 'More, Fur Affinity (9 April 2013)</ref>) a number that "surprised, thrilled, and honored" the Fur the 'More staff.<ref>[https://twitter.com/FurtheMore/status/321066836533837825 Fur the 'More Official Twitter 9:07 PM - 7 Apr 13]</ref>. $2181.35 was raised for [http://www.friskys.org/index_rollover.htm Frisky's Wildlife & Primate Sanctuary] between the Charity Auction, events, and donations.<ref>[https://twitter.com/FurtheMore/status/321067284166754304 Fur the 'More Official Twitter 9:09 PM - 7 Apr 13]</ref> Pre-registration broke 200, including the staff which purchased their own badges for the first year in order to help Fur the 'More in its first year.

In reference to the Attendee Guest of Honor raffle, a perk of purchasing a Big Cheese or Raven God attendance level, it was revamped from a drawing at opening ceremonies to one at closing ceremonies so the winner of the raffle can enjoy all the perks and privileges of a Guest of Honor for the next year instead of being only an honorary title. This includes free attendance, Guest of Honor dinner, name in the convention book, and more. Out of the three Raven Gods and three Big Cheeses, the Big Cheese Kirby won the spot of 2014's Attendee Guest of Honor<ref>[https://twitter.com/FurtheMore/status/321036822656475136 Fur the 'More Official Twitter 7:08 PM - 7 Apr 13]</ref>. The one for 2015 will be selected at the closing ceremonies of Fur the 'More's second year.

== Notable events ==
Events occurring at the invention include:<ref>[http://www.furthemore.org/programming/events/ Events]</ref>{{fact}}

'''Fur the 'More''' is an annual [[furry]] [[convention]] in [[Wikipedia:Baltimore|Baltimore, Maryland]], USA. Its first event was held April 5-7, 2013 in the Hunt Valley Inn in [[Wikipedia:Hunt Valley, Maryland|Hunt Valley]], a suburb of Baltimore approximately 17 miles north of downtown. It includes charitable benefits, educational seminars, art shows, panels, and general social activities.

Fur the 'More began as an idea between a few friends in the Maryland furry community to start a local convention in Baltimore. The idea was originally started while attending the [[Furstivus]] convention in Philadelphia and the question was posed "Why doesn’t Baltimore have a convention?"{{fact}}

In March 2012, [[NorthEast Anthropomorphic Association]] offered to partner with Fur the 'More to back them as the umbrella 501(c)7 non-profit organization. As a result of negotiations, Fur the 'More became a NorthEast Anthropomorphic Association convention, and the primary founder and [[con-chair]] was offered a seat on the [[Board of Directors]] as a trustee.<ref>[http://www.furthemore.org/about/fur-the-more/ About Us] - Fur the 'More</ref>
