Furry Conventions Update!

Finnigan Here:

Where in the world have I been? Around, doing furry things, going to conventions, planning a costume I'm gonna put to use this summer, and working, so I can go to more conventions, of course.





Well. My first convention I ever went to was a success and a blast. It sparked a love for the fandom that I didn't think I had. It was exciting and awesome and I didn't really want to go home! I just wanted to dance in suit.
Here's the fursuit parade for Furnal Equinox 2011


Here I am after the dancing at like 2 AM, I took off a lot of clothes and you can see my skin, but I didn't really care for dancing cause it's dark and it was hothothot in there.


And then I went to Furry Connection North, in Novi, MI. It wasn't too impressive, to be honest, needed a bit of work on the panels and stuff, but the dances were great and my friends were awesome! Here's a clip of Saturday's Dance. I'm in there somewhere.





I also have tons and tons of pictures, but I'll save them for another post.
Sadly, I am not going to Anthrocon, it's far far too expensive for me to do that. It's an idea for next year, but there's plenty of small cons I think I'd rather go to. The next Convention I will be attending will be Condition: Red in London, Ontario July 22ndish. :D

Have a good one, guys!

Fursuiting With A Beginner;

Well; I went on a furry road trip to Oshawa, Ontario. So many lols were had and great memories were made, but something was really special about this road trip!

I came home with...

THIS!

A fursuit partial! Made by Kitty!

Instead of shipping it, we went and picked it up.

I know I am supposed to wear something baggier but I didn't pack anything of that sort so these pictures will have to do until I get a proper outfit for her. Most of my clothes are super tight so I need to actually go out and buy some larger shirts.

You can't see the tail, but it's Massive! I could likely use it as a pillow if I really wanted. But it'd ruin the fur.

Riding in the car home with two other furries was amusing, we talked about various things in the fandom. The ride home involved me in suit some of the way home waving a cars passing by. It was especially amusing when we were stuck in traffic. I hope it made people's rides a little better while we were stopped or going like 30 clicks.

 My friend Tundru just got his suit made. It's beautiful! Just look at it!

He just picked his up this weekend, after a crazy weekend of furry partying with the Toronto furs for some birthdays and just to party.

We're both new to fursuiting so we'll be learning as we go along. Probably suiting together in partials around the city of Windsor, Ont! If you see us! Give us a hug! We're super friendly!

Thanks for reading this, I really appreciate the time you're taking!

And then Kei hopped in my suit. :D

Introductory Post

Every blog needs them; complete with promises to update often and about themselves.

I'm Finnigan but some folks call me Diffi.
I'm 18.
I'm a wolf at heart, and have always known this.
Although most furries are different, they've all still kept that want or wish to be an animal from their childhood.

If you're new to the fandom, I welcome you. You've probably been one for a long time and never realized it. Just because you don't have a tail or ears hiding in your closet doesn't mean you aren't one.
I thought that too.

I recently realized how the fandom has overrun my life.

We all played "animals" as kids. Don't deny it.
We all loved Lion King and Robin Hood.

I started poking my nose into Furcadia when I was eleven. Boy oh boy, I was in heaven! Animals that walked and talked!? Just like I always played as a kid! Awesome! And that was my addiction. For years.
Years and years there was nothing but School and Furcadia. When I didn't have internet, I found a way to talk to my friends.
Oddly enough Furcadia and Real Life Fandomers, don't really mix. I couldn't possibly tell you why. The furries I know RL will not get involved with Furcadia and the Furcadia people I know rarely ever want anything to do with Furries in their real life.
To each their own, I suppose.

Do I own a Fursuit?
I'm picking it up next week. It's made by Kitty. It's extremely afforadble. I only ordered a partial for my Finnigan suit, So there's the mask.

What am I gonna do in said fursuit?
Dance. Play. But mainly Dance. And hang about with friends. Run around town.
I hope to go more into the perfromance aspect of suiting.

Don't you know what some furries do in their suits?
I'm sorry, but that seems like a really dirty waste of $400+ to do the dirty in a suit. I mean, you get sweaty enough.

You gonna post pictures?
Yeah.

You gonna go to Furry Conventions?
Got my room booked for Furnal Equinox 2011. I waited till I moved out and got a suit, pretty much.
Also, I'm going to try to get co-authors for this blog. Guest speakers and the likes. Artists, fans, suitmakers, videos, ect, ect.
I totally intend on going to as many as my budget can handle.

I intend on getting some co-authors. Just to mix things up a bit.
Get some guest posts, statements, ect, ect.

Well That's my intro post.
Hope you enjoy!
