Furlandia is Oregon\u2019s and Southwest Washington Furry convention now in its fifth year. \u00a0I brought Kiju Kitty on Saturday and Chococat plush on Friday and Sunday.<\/p>\n
This report is going to be short because I did not attend until Friday evening due to a new job and I did not submit any panels due to job uncertainty.\u00a0 I check out the space, went to dinner and took a peak at the dance. Only \u201cadult\u201d panes were being run, so I went home.<\/p>\n
Saturday, I had my big breakfast at Hometown Buffet, and went back to the hotel. I checked out Pepper Coyote and Fox Amoore consort. The songs were well preformed and both Pepper and Fox kept the audience engaged. I only attended the Starfleet International panel got dinner and hang around until late. Sunday after church, I attended the dance contest finals and the closing ceremony.<\/p>\n
The Good: Pepper Coyote and Fox Amoore consort and seeing the younger furs, most fewer than 16 having fun. Many of them made their own fursuit \/ fursuit heads whey was quite good.\u00a0 It great Furlandia acknowledge\u00a0\u00a0 the under 16 furries are a part of the fandom as us Greamuzzles at the other end.<\/p>\n
A Special shout out goes to Queenie Deerheart who preformed most of her MC duties in Fursuit.<\/p>\n
The bad Not enough panels, I share the blame for not submitting any doe to my unemployment situation.<\/p>\n
The Ugly the guy in the rubber dragon mask at the parade, he seemed to cross the line with his touching of fursuiters at the parade.<\/p>\n
I enjoyed Furlandia, but 2017 maybe my last. Because my career is stuck in a rut, and a desire to more to a Republican controlled state, I may have to move to Seattle, Silicon Valley, Texas or North Carolina<\/p>\n
