He is a [[fursuiter]] who has attended many [[convention]]s, a musician (percussionist), and a DJ ([http://www.earvelvet.com/ EarVelvet]). Thumper is a volunteer for [[Helping Pawz|a not-for-profit character performance association]] and works as a network engineer in Portland, Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Thumper&amp;quot; has been through 4 different revisions. Thumper v1.0 first appeared at [[ConFurence 9|CF9]] in 1998. Thumper v2 has gone through 3 different versions of the head (made by [[Kodi (Canada)|Kodi Pup]], [[Whiteyfawks|Whitefox]] and Thumper himself) and a few feet replacements, but the body and details have remained unchanged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hilyte&amp;quot; was built as a collaboration by RubyDragon and Dream Machine Costumes. His first appearance was [[Further Confusion 2015|2015]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Music==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper is a percussionist with several years experience in high-school and middle school jazz bands and today enjoys occasionally getting together to play with his 'genre-less' garage band &amp;quot;Rusty Pipe&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the center snare and a music writer for the Willamette High school Wolverines drum line for 4 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a DJ, Thumper used his connections at a light and sound company to put on large stage shows; his first public show in 1992. He played mostly Pop and Top 40 for high schools and middle schools in the Eugene area (while a high-school student himself). He later specialized in house parties for fraternities and sororities around the University of Oregon. He 'retired' from doing public shows after moving to the Portland area for College in 1995. He came back in 2002 for Howl-o-ween and continues to play multiple live shows each year, many at furry events and conventions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During high school he used an analog multi-track editing studio at his school to compose original songs and create many remixes of tunes, however all this material is thought to have been lost during his move in 1995 or is still on a shelf in the studio back in Eugene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Thumper enjoys playing mixed shows of Top 40 Dance remixes, House and Retro for his public shows. He has done a few private Internet Techno/Trance/Dance shows but hasn't had an audience to play such a set live recently. He used primarily CD's but also .wavs from computer during the 90's but has switched to all digital since 2002 and presently uses Traktor Studio for live events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper's live performances are done under the name EarVelvet and can be found at http://www.earvelvet.com/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==On-line characters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper found furry back in 1996 while playing a number of characters on [[The Lion King MUCK|TLK MUCK]]. He later was very active with a character called Thumpy on [[FurryMUCK]]. He presently has a character on [[Second Life]] called &amp;quot;Thumper Bunnyhug&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==TLK Mag==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the editor and web host for an online TLK Fan Webzine called ''[[The Pride Lands Online]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FurDir==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the creator and programmer of the [[FurDir]]. The FurDir was created in 1996 and released online in 1997 as the first searchable Furry Web Directory that was built with dynamic web code and all input and content controlled automatically by the users/members. Thumper was prompted to create the FurDir after failing for months to get listed on any of the other Furry Web Directories at the time which were all manually created and updated and frequently has long delays between updates or getting responses from the owners to get added or information changed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hilyte&amp;quot; was built as a collaboration by RubyDragon and Dream Machine Costumes. His first appearance was [[Further Confusion 2015|2015]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Music==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper is a percussionist with several years experience in high-school and middle school jazz bands and today enjoys occasionally getting together to play with his 'genre-less' garage band &amp;quot;Rusty Pipe&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the center snare and a music writer for the Willamette High school Wolverines drum line for 4 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a DJ, Thumper used his connections at a light and sound company to put on large stage shows; his first public show in 1992. He played mostly Pop and Top 40 for high schools and middle schools in the Eugene area (while a high-school student himself). He later specialized in house parties for fraternities and sororities around the University of Oregon. He 'retired' from doing public shows after moving to the Portland area for College in 1995. He came back in 2002 for Howl-o-ween and continues to play multiple live shows each year, many at furry events and conventions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During high school he used an analog multi-track editing studio at his school to compose original songs and create many remixes of tunes, however all this material is thought to have been lost during his move in 1995 or is still on a shelf in the studio back in Eugene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Thumper enjoys playing mixed shows of Top 40 Dance remixes, House and Retro for his public shows. He has done a few private Internet Techno/Trance/Dance shows but hasn't had an audience to play such a set live recently. He used primarily CD's but also .wavs from computer during the 90's but has switched to all digital since 2002 and presently uses Traktor Studio for live events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper's live performances are done under the name EarVelvet and can be found at http://www.earvelvet.com/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==On-line characters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper found furry back in 1996 while playing a number of characters on [[The Lion King MUCK|TLK MUCK]]. He later was very active with a character called Thumpy on [[FurryMUCK]]. He presently has a character on [[Second Life]] called &amp;quot;Thumper Bunnyhug&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==TLK Mag==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the editor and web host for an online TLK Fan Webzine called ''[[The Pride Lands Online]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FurDir==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the creator and programmer of the [[FurDir]]. The FurDir was created in 1996 and released online in 1997 as the first searchable Furry Web Directory that was built with dynamic web code and all input and content controlled automatically by the users/members. Thumper was prompted to create the FurDir after failing for months to get listed on any of the other Furry Web Directories at the time which were all manually created and updated and frequently has long delays between updates or getting responses from the owners to get added or information changed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Music==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper is a percussionist with several years experience in high-school and middle school jazz bands and today enjoys occasionally getting together to play with his 'genre-less' garage band &amp;quot;Rusty Pipe&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the center snare and a music writer for the Willamette High school Wolverines drum line for 4 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a DJ, Thumper used his connections at a light and sound company to put on large stage shows; his first public show in 1992. He played mostly Pop and Top 40 for high schools and middle schools in the Eugene area (while a high-school student himself). He later specialized in house parties for fraternities and sororities around the University of Oregon. He 'retired' from doing public shows after moving to the Portland area for College in 1995. He came back in 2002 for Howl-o-ween and continues to play multiple live shows each year, many at furry events and conventions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During high school he used an analog multi-track editing studio at his school to compose original songs and create many remixes of tunes, however all this material is thought to have been lost during his move in 1995 or is still on a shelf in the studio back in Eugene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Thumper enjoys playing mixed shows of Top 40 Dance remixes, House and Retro for his public shows. He has done a few private Internet Techno/Trance/Dance shows but hasn't had an audience to play such a set live recently. He used primarily CD's but also .wavs from computer during the 90's but has switched to all digital since 2002 and presently uses Traktor Studio for live events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper's live performances are done under the name EarVelvet and can be found at http://www.earvelvet.com/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==On-line characters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper found furry back in 1996 while playing a number of characters on [[The Lion King MUCK|TLK MUCK]]. He later was very active with a character called Thumpy on [[FurryMUCK]]. He presently has a character on [[Second Life]] called &amp;quot;Thumper Bunnyhug&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==TLK Mag==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the editor and web host for an online TLK Fan Webzine called ''[[The Pride Lands Online]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FurDir==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the creator and programmer of the [[FurDir]]. The FurDir was created in 1996 and released online in 1997 as the first searchable Furry Web Directory that was built with dynamic web code and all input and content controlled automatically by the users/members. Thumper was prompted to create the FurDir after failing for months to get listed on any of the other Furry Web Directories at the time which were all manually created and updated and frequently has long delays between updates or getting responses from the owners to get added or information changed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Music==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper is a percussionist with several years experience in high-school and middle school jazz bands and today enjoys occasionally getting together to play with his 'genre-less' garage band &amp;quot;Rusty Pipe&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the center snare and a music writer for the Willamette High school Wolverines drum line for 4 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a DJ, Thumper used his connections at a light and sound company to put on large stage shows; his first public show in 1992. He played mostly Pop and Top 40 for high schools and middle schools in the Eugene area (while a high-school student himself). He later specialized in house parties for fraternities and sororities around the University of Oregon. He 'retired' from doing public shows after moving to the Portland area for College in 1995. He came back in 2002 for Howl-o-ween and continues to play multiple live shows each year, many at furry events and conventions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During high school he used an analog multi-track editing studio at his school to compose original songs and create many remixes of tunes, however all this material is thought to have been lost during his move in 1995 or is still on a shelf in the studio back in Eugene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Thumper enjoys playing mixed shows of Top 40 Dance remixes, House and Retro for his public shows. He has done a few private Internet Techno/Trance/Dance shows but hasn't had an audience to play such a set live recently. He used primarily CD's but also .wavs from computer during the 90's but has switched to all digital since 2002 and presently uses Traktor Studio for live events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper's live performances are done under the name EarVelvet and can be found at http://www.earvelvet.com/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==On-line characters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper found furry back in 1996 while playing a number of characters on [[The Lion King MUCK|TLK MUCK]]. He later was very active with a character called Thumpy on [[FurryMUCK]]. He presently has a character on [[Second Life]] called &amp;quot;Thumper Bunnyhug&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==TLK Mag==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the editor and web host for an online TLK Fan Webzine called ''[[The Pride Lands Online]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FurDir==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the creator and programmer of the [[FurDir]]. The FurDir was created in 1996 and released online in 1997 as the first searchable Furry Web Directory that was built with dynamic web code and all input and content controlled automatically by the users/members. Thumper was prompted to create the FurDir after failing for months to get listed on any of the other Furry Web Directories at the time which were all manually created and updated and frequently has long delays between updates or getting responses from the owners to get added or information changed.&lt;br /&gt;

==Music==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper is a percussionist with several years experience in high-school and middle school jazz bands and today enjoys occasionally getting together to play with his 'genre-less' garage band &amp;quot;Rusty Pipe&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the center snare and a music writer for the Willamette High school Wolverines drum line for 4 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a DJ, Thumper used his connections at a light and sound company to put on large stage shows; his first public show in 1992. He played mostly Pop and Top 40 for high schools and middle schools in the Eugene area (while a high-school student himself). He later specialized in house parties for fraternities and sororities around the University of Oregon. He 'retired' from doing public shows after moving to the Portland area for College in 1995. He came back in 2002 for Howl-o-ween and continues to play multiple live shows each year, many at furry events and conventions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During high school he used an analog multi-track editing studio at his school to compose original songs and create many remixes of tunes, however all this material is thought to have been lost during his move in 1995 or is still on a shelf in the studio back in Eugene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Thumper enjoys playing mixed shows of Top 40 Dance remixes, House and Retro for his public shows. He has done a few private Internet Techno/Trance/Dance shows but hasn't had an audience to play such a set live recently. He used primarily CD's but also .wavs from computer during the 90's but has switched to all digital since 2002 and presently uses Traktor Studio for live events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper's live performances are done under the name EarVelvet and can be found at http://www.earvelvet.com/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==On-line characters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper found furry back in 1996 while playing a number of characters on [[The Lion King MUCK|TLK MUCK]]. He later was very active with a character called Thumpy on [[FurryMUCK]]. He presently has a character on [[Second Life]] called &amp;quot;Thumper Bunnyhug&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==TLK Mag==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the editor and web host for an online TLK Fan Webzine called ''[[The Pride Lands Online]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FurDir==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the creator and programmer of the [[FurDir]]. The FurDir was created in 1996 and released online in 1997 as the first searchable Furry Web Directory that was built with dynamic web code and all input and content controlled automatically by the users/members. Thumper was prompted to create the FurDir after failing for months to get listed on any of the other Furry Web Directories at the time which were all manually created and updated and frequently has long delays between updates or getting responses from the owners to get added or information changed.&lt;br /&gt;

Thumper found furry back in 1996 while playing a number of characters on [[The Lion King MUCK|TLK MUCK]]. He later was very active with a character called Thumpy on [[FurryMUCK]]. He presently has a character on [[Second Life]] called &amp;quot;Thumper Bunnyhug&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==TLK Mag==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the editor and web host for an online TLK Fan Webzine called ''[[The Pride Lands Online]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FurDir==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the creator and programmer of the [http://furdir.thumper.net FurDir]. The FurDir was created in 1996 and released online in 1997 as the first searchable Furry Web Directory that was built with dynamic web code and all input and content controlled automatically by the users/members. Thumper was prompted to create the FurDir after failing for months to get listed on any of the other Furry Web Directories at the time which were all manually created and updated and frequently has long delays between updates or getting responses from the owners to get added or information changed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Music==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper is a percussionist with several years experience in high-school and middle school jazz bands and today enjoys occasionally getting together to play with his 'genre-less' garage band &amp;quot;Rusty Pipe&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the center snare and a music writer for the Willamette High school Wolverines drum line for 4 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a  Ipod DJ, Thumper used his connections at a light and sound company to put on large stage shows; his first public show in 1992. He played mostly Pop and Top 40 for high schools and middle schools in the Eugene area (while a high-school student himself). He later specialized in house parties for fraternities and sororities around the University of Oregon. He 'retired' from doing public shows after moving to the Portland area for College in 1995. He came back in 2002 for Howl-o-ween and continues to play that event every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During high school he used an analog multi-track editing studio at his school to compose original songs and create many remixes of tunes, however all this material is thought to have been lost during his move in 1995 or is still on a shelf in the studio back in Eugene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Thumper enjoys playing mixed shows of Top 40 Dance remixes, House and Retro for his public shows. He has done a few private Internet Techno/Trance/Dance shows but hasn't had an audience to play such a set live recently. He used primarily CD's but also .wavs from computer during the 90's but has switched to all digital since 2002 and presently uses Traktor Studio for live events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper's live performances are done under the name EarVelvet and can be found at http://www.earvelvet.com/&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

==Music==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper is a percussionist with several years experience in high-school and middle school jazz bands and today enjoys occasionally getting together to play with his 'genre-less' garage band &amp;quot;Rusty Pipe&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the center snare and a music writer for the Willamette High school Wolverines drum line for 4 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a DJ, Thumper used his connections at a light and sound company to put on large stage shows; his first public show in 1992. He played mostly Pop and Top 40 for high schools and middle schools in the Eugene area (while a high-school student himself). He later specialized in house parties for fraternities and sororities around the University of Oregon. He 'retired' from doing public shows after moving to the Portland area for College in 1995. He came back in 2002 for Howl-o-ween and continues to play that event every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During high school he used an analog multi-track editing studio at his school to compose original songs and create many remixes of tunes, however all this material is thought to have been lost during his move in 1995 or is still on a shelf in the studio back in Eugene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Thumper enjoys playing mixed shows of Top 40 Dance remixes, House and Retro for his public shows. He has done a few private Internet Techno/Trance/Dance shows but hasn't had an audience to play such a set live recently. He used primarily CD's but also .wavs from computer during the 90's but has switched to all digital since 2002 and presently uses Traktor Studio for live events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper's live performances are done under the name EarVelvet and can be found at http://www.earvelvet.com/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==On-line Characters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper found furry back in 1996 while playing a number of characters on [[The Lion King MUCK|TLK MUCK]]. He later was very active with a character called Thumpy on [[FurryMUCK]]. He presently has a character on [[Second Life]] called &amp;quot;Thumper Bunnyhug&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==TLK Mag==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the editor and web host for an online TLK Fan Webzine called ''[[The Pride Lands Online]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FurDir==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the creator and programmer of the [http://furdir.thumper.net FurDir]. The FurDir was created in 1996 and released online in 1997 as the first searchable Furry Web Directory that was built with dynamic web code and all input and content controlled automatically by the users/members. Thumper was prompted to create the FurDir after failing for months to get listed on any of the other Furry Web Directories at the time which were all manually created and updated and frequently has long delays between updates or getting responses from the owners to get added or information changed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper owns 3 [[fursuit]]s: &amp;quot;Thumper&amp;quot; the white [[rabbit]], &amp;quot;Bumper&amp;quot; the [[bear]], and &amp;quot;Geronimo&amp;quot; the [[gecko]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Thumper&amp;quot; has been through 4 different revisions. Thumper v1.0 first appeared at [[ConFurence 9|CF9]] in 1998.

==Music==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper is a percussionist with several years experience in high-school and middle school jazz bands and today enjoys occasionally getting together to play with his 'genre-less' garage band &amp;quot;Rusty Pipe&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the center snare and a music writer for the Willamette High school Wolverines drum line for 4 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a DJ, Thumper used his connections at a light and sound company to put on large stage shows; his first public show in 1992. He played mostly Pop and Top 40 for high schools and middle schools in the Eugene area (while a high-school student himself). He later specialized in house parties for fraternities and sororities around the University of Oregon. He 'retired' from doing public shows after moving to the Portland area for College in 1995. He came back in 2002 for Howl-o-ween and continues to play that event every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During high school he used an analog multi-track editing studio at his school to compose original songs and create many remixes of tunes, however all this material is thought to have been lost during his move in 1995 or is still on a shelf in the studio back in Eugene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Thumper enjoys playing mixed shows of Top 40 Dance remixes, House and Retro for his public shows. He has done a few private Internet Techno/Trance/Dance shows but hasn't had an audience to play such a set live recently. He used primarily CD's but also .wavs from computer during the 90's but has switched to all digital since 2002 and presently uses Traktor Studio for live events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==On-line Characters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper found furry back in 1996 while playing a number of characters on [[The Lion King MUCK|TLK MUCK]]. He later was very active with a character called Thumpy on [[FurryMUCK]]. He presently has a character on [[Second Life]] called &amp;quot;Thumper Bunnyhug&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==TLK Mag==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the editor and web host for an online TLK Fan Webzine called ''[[The Pride Lands Online]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FurDir==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the creator and programmer of the [http://furdir.thumper.net FurDir]. The FurDir was created in 1996 and released online in 1997 as the first searchable Furry Web Directory that was built with dynamic web code and all input and content controlled automatically by the users/members. Thumper was prompted to create the FurDir after failing for months to get listed on any of the other Furry Web Directories at the time which were all manually created and updated and frequently has long delays between updates or getting responses from the owners to get added or information changed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Howloween 2007''' was officially &amp;quot;cancelled&amp;quot; on September 8th, 2007. The event was unable to re-book the former hotel due to behavioral problems of some attendees at the 2006 event. The problems were believed to have been caused mostly by non-local attendees. The larger non-local presence is presumed to have been the result of the absence of another winter furcon in the region ([[Conifur Northwest 2006]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The organizers of Howl-o-ween are encouraging locals to put together other small local Halloween parties this year and will be discussing plans for Howl-o-ween 2008 at a later date. There is speculation that future Howl-o-ween's may have a limited or closed attendance to retain the more intimate 'party' environment with which the event was originally created to avoid trouble with large group behavioral problems.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Howloween}}&lt;br /&gt;
'''Howloween''' is a Halloween-themed [[furmeet]] held in [[wikipedia:Coquitlam, British Columbia|Coquitlam]], [[wikipedia:British Columbia|British Columbia]], about 20 minutes east of [[wikipedia:Vancouver|Vancouver]], [[wikipedia:Canada|Canada]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has been held annually around Halloween at the Best Western Coquitlam Inn &amp;amp; Convention Centre since [[Howloween 2003|2003]]. As more of a furmeet 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 now takes up two halls in the hotel. An ongoing tradition of the event is [[fursuit]] bowling at [http://www.revs.ca/holdom/ Revs Bowling Centre] in [[wikipedia:Burnaby, British Columbia|Burnaby]], [[wikipedia:British Columbia|British Columbia]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Howloween06.jpg|right|150px|Howloween 2006!]]&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[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.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[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 &amp;amp; Convention Centre, where it has remained to the present day. The event was featured in the [[wikipedia:CBC|CBC]] television program ''Culture Shock''.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://fursuit.timduru.org/view/FursuitVideo/FurriesInTheNews/200401_CultureShock ''Culture Shock'' on CBC] (from [[Timduru]]'s Fursuit Archive)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[Howloween 2004]]''' was extended to two days and moved to the upstairs event area of the Best Western Coquitlam Inn &amp;amp; Convention Centre. A [[fursuit]] of the new mascot - a pink [[bunny]] with a hockey mask and chainsaw - was introduced, and the [[Wikipedia:pumpkin carving|pumpkin carving]] contest was also held for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[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.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[Howloween 2006]]''' was once again held at the Best Western Coquitlam Inn &amp;amp; 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 [[fur]]s. This increase is believed to be a result of the cancellation of [[Conifur Northwest 2006]].&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[Howloween 2007]]''' was cancelled. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.furry.ca/cgi-bin/furryca/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=20;t=15 Howloween 2007 Cancelled]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

'''Thumper'''  lives in [[Wikipedia:Vancouver, Washington, U.S.A.|Vancouver, Washington, U.S.A.]]. He is a [[fursuiter]] who has attended many [[convention]]s, a musician (percussionist), and a DJ. Thumper is a volunteer member of the [[Helping Pawz]] Association and works as an IT Manager in Portland, Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper owns 3 [[fursuit]]s: &amp;quot;Thumper&amp;quot; the white [[rabbit]], &amp;quot;Bumper&amp;quot; the [[bear]], and &amp;quot;Geronimo&amp;quot; the [[gecko]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Thumper&amp;quot; has been through 4 different revisions. Thumper v1.0 first appeared at [[ConFurence 9|CF9]] in 1998.

==Music==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper is a percussionist with several years experience in high-school and middle school jazz bands and today enjoys occasionally getting together to play with his 'genre-less' garage band &amp;quot;Rusty Pipe&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the center snare and a music writer for the Willamette High school Wolverines drum line for 4 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a DJ, Thumper used his connections at a light and sound company to put on large stage shows; his first public show in 1992. He played mostly Pop and Top 40 for high schools and middle schools in the Eugene area (while a high-school student himself). He later specialized in house parties for fraternities and sororities around the University of Oregon. He 'retired' from doing public shows after moving to the Portland area for College in 1995. He came back in 2002 for Howl-o-ween and continues to play that event every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During high school he used an analog multi-track editing studio at his school to compose original songs and create many remixes of tunes, however all this material is thought to have been lost during his move in 1995 or is still on a shelf in the studio back in Eugene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Thumper enjoys playing mixed shows of Top 40 Dance remixes, House and Retro for his public shows. He has done a few private Internet Techno/Trance/Dance shows but hasn't had an audience to play such a set live recently. He used primarily CD's but also .wavs from computer during the 90's but has switched to all digital since 2002 and presently uses Traktor Studio for live events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==On-line Characters==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper found furry back in 1996 while playing a number of characters on [[The Lion King MUCK|TLK MUCK]]. He later was very active with a character called Thumpy on [[FurryMUCK]]. He presently has a character on [[Second Life]] called &amp;quot;Thumper Bunnyhug&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==TLK Mag==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the editor and web host for an online TLK Fan Webzine called ''[[The Pride Lands Online]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==FurDir==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the creator and programmer of the [http://furdir.thumper.net FurDir]. The FurDir was created in 1996 and released online in 1997 as the first searchable Furry Web Directory that was built with dynamic web code and all input and content controlled automatically by the users/members. Thumper was prompted to create the FurDir after failing for months to get listed on any of the other Furry Web Directories at the time which were all manually created and updated and frequently has long delays between updates or getting responses from the owners to get added or information changed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Like several other articles (I'm thinking of [[Furry Hitler]] and [[Furry Lawyering]], but the list seems destined to keep growing) I don't think this is a specifically furry term at all.  The term [[Wikipedia:Breeder (slang)|Breeder]] is generic, and &amp;quot;furry&amp;quot; is simply an adjective about the &amp;quot;breeder&amp;quot; in question.  The cited reference quite clearly coined the phrase &amp;quot;furry breeder&amp;quot; on the spot.  --{{UT|Sebkha}} 15:41, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Perhaps this information should be moved to an article about the livejournal group, then? --{{UT|GreenReaper}} 18:00, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::I'm open to the idea. I just added the term after hearing about it at FC2005 itself during a discussion (Read: Fight) between two female furs, with one being labeled as such by the other. I just kept in memory to look it up on line later. With conversations with female friends later, they confirmed the use of it, mostly as an insult, by furries that felt that couples should not bring, as I was &amp;quot;informed&amp;quot;, their &amp;quot;spawn&amp;quot; to mingle a cons, and the term was again used to single out the wife of a well known Furry artist (who is already feature here). But, looking at it that way, it feels like more than a rare used insult, than a commonly used term,... as before, I'm open to the suggestion. [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 19:24, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within the confines of the furry community, in the past 10 years the only context in which I have heard the term 'breeder' used is in the form of a derogatory (albeit usually in jest) comment about someone being hetrosexual (usually among a group of homosexual furs).&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Thumper&amp;quot; has been through 4 different revisions. Thumper v1.0 first appeared at [[ConFurence 9|CF9]] in 1998. Thumper v2 has gone through 3 different versions of the head (most done by [[Kodi (Canada)|Kodi Pup]]) and a few feet replacements, but the body and details have remained unchanged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Bumper&amp;quot; was made by [[Kodi (Canada)|Kodi Pup]] and has been a regularly appearing character for the Helping Pawz Association.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Geronimo&amp;quot; was the first mascot/cartoon style character made entirely by Thumper himself and appeared for the first time at [[Further Confusion 2006|FC2006]]. He returned for [[Further Confusion 2007|FC2007]] in a Tuxedo masquerading as &amp;quot;[[Gex]]&amp;quot; (the Nintendo game character) in keeping with the Convention's &amp;quot;007&amp;quot; theme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Conventions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper has attended:&lt;br /&gt;

==Music==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper is a percussionist with several years experience in high-school and middle school jazz bands and today enjoys occasionally getting together to play with his 'genre-less' garage band &amp;quot;Rusty Pipe&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the center snare and a music writer for the Willamette High school Wolverines drum line for 4 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a DJ, Thumper used his connections at a light and sound company to put on large stage shows; his first public show in 1992. He played mostly Pop and Top 40 for high schools and middle schools in the Eugene area (while a high-school student himself). He later specialized in house parties for fraternities and sororities around the University of Oregon. He 'retired' from doing public shows after moving to the Portland area for College in 1995. He came back in 2002 for Howl-o-ween and continues to play that event every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During high school he used an analog multi-track editing studio at his school to compose original songs and create many remixes of tunes, however all this material is thought to have been lost during his move in 1995 or is still on a shelf in the studio back in Eugene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Thumper enjoys playing mixed shows of Top 40 Dance remixes, House and Retro for his public shows. He has done a few private Internet Techno/Trance/Dance shows but hasn't had an audience to play such a set live recently. He used primarily CD's but also .wavs from computer during the 90's but has switched to all digital since 2002 and presently uses Traktor Studio for live events.&lt;br /&gt;

==Music==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper is a percussionist with several years experience in high-school and middle school jazz bands and today enjoys occasionally getting together to play with his 'genre-less' garage band &amp;quot;Rusty Pipe&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thumper was the center snare and a music writer for the Willamette High school Wolverines drum line for 4 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a DJ, Thumper used it connection at a light and sound company in to put on large stage show, his first public show in 1992. He played mostly Pop and Top 40 for high schools and middle schools in the Eugene area (while a high-school student himself). He later specialized in house parties for fraternities and sororities around the University of Oregon. He 'retired' from doing public shows after moving to the Portland area for College in 1995. He came back in 2002 for Howl-o-ween and continues to play that event every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Thumper enjoys playing mixed shows of Top 40 Dance remixes, House and Retro for his public shows. He has done a few private Internet Techno/Trance/Dance shows but hasn't had an audience to play such a set live recently.&lt;br /&gt;
