Anyone going to Further Confusion 2018 and needing room space? I'll be based out of the Marriott and will be there from Thursday January 11th to Monday January 15th. There's no need to bring a sleeping bag or rent a rollaway since I've got a double room.

If you're interested, please contact me at baarorso@email.com and we'll talk. Thanks!

Mariott Sell Out

baar_bear — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 06:24:55 GMT

Can anyone tell me how quickly the Marriott room block sold out last year? I'd like to know how easy it will be to get a room in the Marriott this year.

Crash Space Needed...badly!

baar_bear — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 03:04:34 GMT

I know it's a little late to ask this but.....

Does anyone have room space at the San Jose Marriott for Further Confusion? The one who had the room for me at FC backed out at the last minute and I need some crash space. I'll be there from Thursday evening until Monday morning. I'm very quiet and don't drink, smoke or party hearty. If you can help me out, please message me here or e-mail me at baar.bear@gmail.com and we'll talk! Please help me out! Thanks!

Looking for an Omni-Beast (puppeteer?)

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone knows a con attendee named Omni-beast? (Hope I remember that right?) and he had a orange salamander muppet style buddy named Andy. Just curious if they have any FA, DA or weasyl site I could friend them at!

thanks!

Almost a half hour of footage. Are you in there somewhere? Come find yourself!

Tea In 1 Day!

tigerman — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:21:21 GMT

The Titanium Chef (tm) cordially invites you to

The Titanium Tea at FC

It is a time to come together and enjoy one another's company over tea.

The Titanium Tea will be held in the San Jose Marriott hotel. The location TBA.

The event will take place on Friday, January 16th from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm.

A variety of teas (and tisanes) will be provided, but feel free to bring your favorite to share with others.

It would be of great help in reducing cup waste if you bring your own mug.

Here is what I'll have available:

Rooibos

Green

Gunpowder Tea

Red Chai

White Tea

Also, there will be a signature tea made for the Titanium Tea @ FC 2015. Be there to sample it!

There will also be one of my creations at the Black Hole Party. Supply is limited, so get there early before it's gone!

I will post an update on Twitter on the location and any changes. Follow the tweets @TitaniumTea .

See you at the Titanium Tea.

Internet Den

baar_bear — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 06:17:51 GMT

Will there be an "internet den" this year? Those things do seem to be going the way of the dinosaur, truth to tell.

Cassie Wilson

baar_bear — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 02:32:12 GMT

Can anyone tell me how to get a hold of Cassie Wilson (doing business as "Tigress Graphics")? During Arizona Fur Con, I commissioned her to make me a "mini me" of my ursine alter ego Ba'ar in plush and paid her $100.00 as a deposit. She promised me that she'd get to work on it around Thanksgiving and send me progress reports but no reports have been forthcoming. In fact, I'm beginning to think I've been swindled. Could anyone help me out with this?

Commission Help

baar_bear — Sun, 14 Dec 2014 03:13:09 GMT

(I'm only posting this here because the artist in question is going to be at Further Confusion).
During Arizona Fur Con, was there anyone who got a commission from Cassie Wilson (who does business as "Tigress Graphics")? I commissioned her to make a Ba'ar "Mini me" in plush and she said she'd start working on it around Thanksgiving and send me progress pictures of how things are going. As yet, she still hasn't gotten back in touch with me (other than to confirm with her what I'd commissioned shortly after AFC was over). Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks!

Suggestion

baar_bear — Mon, 24 Nov 2014 06:52:54 GMT

I've got an idea for a panel. I don't have the skills or expertise to do this but I would definitely consider attending if someone holds it. It involves translating a story from one medium to the other. For example, you may recall the "CBS Storybreak" episode that had a cartoon version of Claire Belle's "Ratha's Creature". I'd love to hear her talk about the challenges of taking one of her books and turning it into an animated special-what they had to add, what they had to leave out and so forth. What say you guys?

FC at FC presence??

ugotpounced — Mon, 19 May 2014 08:49:38 GMT

FanimeCon is this weekend and in the past FurCon staff and attendees usually pop up. (I <3 u guys for coming)

Any word on how organized of a furpile visit, room party (miss those days), and importantly advertisement there will be? Need help?

...Just Curious (like a cat, duh).

p.s. BTW, shout out Pounce!...not glomp! if you see an oddball "cat out of water" all over the con center.

P! out.

T Shirt Size

baar_bear — Sun, 18 May 2014 03:26:23 GMT

Heard that for next year the maximum size convention T-shirt Further Confusion will be offering is 4x whereas in the past the maximum size they've offered is 5x. As a fur who takes 5x-6x t-shirts I'm very interested in how I can go about getting a 5x t-shirt made up. If anyone can help me out with this, please let me know. Thanks!

SUPER LATE PHOTO REQUESTS!

aazhie — Sun, 04 May 2014 03:46:57 GMT

Hey all furs! I was wondering if anyone had photos of my griffin costume from FC14? I was wearing a dark brown and black gryph suit with Todd, the third evil ex (the vegan one). I was nomming on a blue tail with a cardboard sign <3

If you think you got a pic, even just link me to the album if you don't wanna find the single pics XD

Looking for Bromigo

shakarri2728 — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 20:05:34 GMT

Sorry if this is the wrong place, But I am trying to reach out to anyone who knows Bromigo. This is my last attempt... I am looking for the artist Bromigo. They have not contacted me for two weeks on an item I won on Furbuy on the 5th from them. and Commission of matching paws and a docked tail. I paid part and trying to get in contact to make the final payment and receive my item won. I last talked to her on Feb 7th. And I told her I have the money, to let me know shipping so I can send all together. If anyone knows where they are. I have tried sending messages and left comments on all their sites. FA, Deviant Art, Furbuy, and private email.. Anyone know any other way I can contact them, or I am going to contact paypal for a refund. But I would prefer to get in contact with them to finalize this. :( She seems very nice I hope she is ok. but Not contacting me for two weeks. And today was the date of finalizing everything. And still no reply from them. I already contacted Furbuy Adm for suggestions and help in contacting them.
thank you

Key card trade?

aazhie — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 07:11:44 GMT

I have the yellow kusangi (sp) twins if anyone wanted to trade for one of the other sets, I was going to get one for a friend who was rooming with me and already has this one

Hiss And Purr

baar_bear — Thu, 30 Jan 2014 21:33:57 GMT

I had a wonderful time at FC this year (and have preliminary plans to attend next year) but I do have a suggestion regarding the patron lunch. I do admit that the pasta and fixings were delicious but being that the patron luncheons are held in the mornings I'd rather that the meals be skewed toward breakfast items (muffins and those egg/sausage wraps they put out during the kaffeeklatsches would be wonderful examples of this). Other conventions (such as Midwest Fur Fest) already do this so why can't it be done here? Please give my suggestion careful consideration and with that in mind I'll see you all hopefully at FC 2015. Thanks!

Please post links to FC2014 pics!

diadexxus — Thu, 30 Jan 2014 05:51:09 GMT

Hi guys!
If you have pics from FC2014 please post links here!
I like gathering them. (I am sure you like to see as well!)

Thanks all.

Indirectly mocked at FC.

fraddas_759 — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 08:45:23 GMT

Hi I'm Fraddas.

I forgot what day it was exactly, but while I was walking to from the Hilton to the Marriot on the lower level of the convention center for the convention. while I was walking I was making some noise because I have a form of muscular dystrophy and I sometimes get the occasional drop foot that takes a lot to be controlled. while I was making the drop foot noise I heard someone behind me doing the exact same thing and I slowed down and adjusted my walking pattern and I stopped and so did the guy walking with his group behind me. a little closer to the Marriot, and my drop foot started again and the guy behind me did the same thing. I got the feeling this guys was mocking me especially after I stopped and let them pass and he was still doing the drop foot noise and I distinctly heard chuckling.

I don't remember who it was, and I didn't remember it till I saw a thing on face book about people who suffer from silent sicknesses. I'm one of those people who don't let his disease get in the way, but at the same Time I don't like being mocked and teased by something I have no control over. I don't want there to be a hunt for the guy or anything. But I want to make sure my time or someone else with a similar situation at FC as an attendee or a panelist, or dealer is an enjoyable one, and I really wanted to make sure Further Confusion was aware this actually did happen this convention.

thanks for listening

Panel Podcast

baar_bear — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 06:28:49 GMT

I know that Rodney Stansfield and Merk Merlino gave a "25 Years Of Furry Conventions" panel at FC 2014. I would have loved to attend but I had a panel of my own to run at the time. Did anyone record it? If so, I'd love to have a copy of the recording if I could. If anyone could help me out with this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Misogyny in the fandom.

corpsefairy — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:16:08 GMT

Notes from this year's variety show:

The Scott Pilgrim vs. the World video makes a joke about how there are no women in the fandom. Meanwhile, Sprout is the MC. It turns out that Sprout is a woman.

In the very next act, Tobias makes a "joke" that goes, "Women! They're so screechy, amirite?" and "Mothers! Aren't they annoying?" (I can't really figure out how these are jokes because they contain no setup and no punchline, but they're in something labeled a comedy routine, so I can only infer that they're meant to be jokes.)

Perhaps these things are related. Perhaps there are more men than women in the fandom because some people like to make screechy women jokes.

Let's do less of that, shall we?

Thank You

baar_bear — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 06:24:31 GMT

As the co-moderator of FC's "World Rebuilding" panel, I want to thank all who came to participate. We had an hour and a half of spirited, stimulating conversation that was quite enjoyable. Thanks also must go to my co-moderator "Otterdoc" for providing the visual materials we used for the panel. It made my panel framework much much better and educational. Again, thanks!

to all my shortie cuties out there

shakarri2728 — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 01:36:39 GMT

Hey everyone, I wanted to request for next years photo shoot, This may seem difficult. But for all the short furries to be able to have a spot up front for the picture? Everyone groups up. I know friends want to be together. But some of the small furries wanted to really be seen in the pic, n not devoured by the awesome furry crowd. Thank you for the furs that let the small group of small furs through the crowd to the front. love to all, short and tall. ^.^

FC Help

baar_bear — Wed, 15 Jan 2014 23:22:30 GMT

Hey gang, I need your help. As some of you may know, Rod O'Reilly and Mark Merlino will be holding a "25 Years of Furry Conventions" panel on Sunday at 3:00. The thing is that I'd love to attend but I have a panel of my own to run at the time. If anyone's going to be there, would you please (pretty, with sugar on top!) record it (preferably with a digital recorder) for me? If anyone's willing to help me out with this, please (again, pretty, with sugar on top) let me know. Thanks!
