I spoke about Rainfurrest\u00a0in another blog pos<\/a>t, but I still think there are serious issues with Rainfurrest\u00a0 parent organization and Rainfurrest \u00a0executive\u00a0 staff . Telling was a conversation had at Orycon to a person close to the executive staff about finding \u00a0a new venue.:<\/p>\nThe response I go from\u00a0 that person was\u00a0 the official line is Rainfurrest\u00a0 left the Hilton because we got too big.<\/p>\n
Me: you know the hotel will do\u00a0 a background\u00a0 check.<\/p>\n
Guy:\u00a0 (cuts me off ) Rainfurrest\u00a0 left the Hilton because we got too big.<\/p>\n
Ne: but<\/p>\n
Guy:\u00a0 (cuts me off ) Rainfurrest\u00a0 left the Hilton because we got too big.<\/p>\n
Any further conversation was futile. It makes me wonder was \u00a0this\u00a0 delusional official line was why the Davenport Grand pulled out at the last minute?\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t matter somebody called the Hotel; Rainfurrest should had been 100%\u00a0 honest with the hotel instead\u00a0 trying to pull a Foxmas debacle. Furthermore, what was Rainfurrest thinking? If they could not get a Hotel from Everett to Tacoma why would they think\u00a0 Spokane would be any different<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t end with Rainfurrest staff. Some try make excuses about the\u00a0 picture of diaper man (the baby fur) saying he was pushed momentarily out f the room. The problem was I seen the picture. The background \u00a0is clearly \u00a0the meeting space where there are no hotel rooms.\u00a0 If anything \u00a0it would be no big \u00a0issue is only furs saw that not others who were at the hotel staying at the hotel.<\/p>\n
Right now I have to give Rainfurrest staff and executive committee a vote of no confidence for gross incompetence and allowing this problem to\u00a0 fester thought the years and fail to provide integrity in leadership in recovery from \u00a02015. I fell Rainfurrest should finish\u00a0 help Furlandia then disband.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Rainfurrest\u00a0 2007 was my first\u00a0 furry convention since identifying myself as a furry in 2006. The first fury I met in person was Stalking Cat: bout are gone. I was hoping to make\u00a0 a return in 2016 but that is no longer possible.
