Hello everyone, the memorial service for Sy will begin at 12:30pm PDT. It will be live-streamed to YouTube as well as VRChat. We will have in-person and VRChat testimonials during the service. If you would like to speak please make sure you sign up. Links in the next tweet
At this point we're not taking any more guests. Right now we're just keeping things to the immediate family. We're trying to keep him as comfortable as we can.
We've never reached out for help before but the past 7 weeks have been hell and realizing the road to recovery is going to be long so we are reaching out.
This was not easy but the doctors have diagnosed Mark with stage IV liver cancer, leading to hospice care arrangements. More details are on the gofundme. Thank you for the ongoing support.
If people are interested in some of the archival things seen on
#TheFandom
we have an archive of old convention ephemera and fanzines at the Confurence Archive:
Today is Feb 1st and it's the 40 year anniversary of the original broadcast of Animalympics Winter Games TV Special.
This was supposed to be the first of 2 specials for NBC's Olympics coverage and NBC was betting a lot on the ratings for the Olympics that year.
We've never reached out for help before but the past 7 weeks have been hell and realizing the road to recovery is going to be long so we are reaching out.
We are bumping the goal up a little, We're really in unknown territory and just starting to figure out the process. We know insurance does not cover whoever we have to hire so adding some breathing room to the goal. We will have hopefully more info today.
I admit we've not kept this channel active for a time. Twitter has been a bit messy as of the past year. (We will set up a bluesky soon for the house).
This will be a longer post so let's get into this.

This was tricky.
I managed to mount a old Mac SCSI hard drive and get an image to load in an emulator. The SCSI card was so old I had to use windows XP to get it working. It apparently had all the original CF4-7 and Touch fanzine doc files (including an unfinished issue of Touch)
Hey,
@Bengaley
, I just posted a bunch of old Furversion's spanning from 1987-1990. Still got some holes int the collection that I'm trying to locate.

The sad thing about this affair is this will be the first year without a furry con in Socal after 29 years of conventions.
Yes, there were issues with how things were run but the con would have survived without this attack.
We can't let people attack cons get away with it.
Ok, There is no party today if people are curious. (We had some people show up) we've been in the middle up renovating the bathrooms so facilities are a bit limited anyways.
We are planning a park gathering by the end of the month and we will put out the details a later tonight.
Given the state of things with COVID over the holidays and just the sheer case numbers hitting right now we're going to skip this month (1/8/22) for the party. Can look to have one in Feb when things hopefully calm down after this surge.
(Wow, there are a lot of new cases)
The Winter Games had the Winter Games title card and the Movie said Summer Games .... so let's re-create the TV special and with the help of an edit bay produced a separated TV special version.
This was shown at furry parties and conventions refereed to as the CF/O Cut.
Just putting this out there that we are having a party tomorrow (3/12/22) at the usual 2:00pm to 10:00pm. Trying to keep people safe so asking for people to be vaccinated.
Bring Snacks.
Not sure if it had been stated but there's a party on the Saturday the 11th at the usual time.
Like before we require vaccination and masks.
Have you had your shots?
Changa got his but he did get treats but had to wear the cone of shame for a few days...
In case there was a question: there's no party this coming Saturday (4/11/20)
What with California being in lockdown and a number of us being in the 50+ age range it's best we don't go against the quarantine.
We hope everybody is staying safe.
Just making sure everybody is aware. There is no party today (1/8/22) due to the surge in Covid. Hope you all stay safe and hope to see you all in Feb.
With a newly cleaned up recording of the Winter Games (Which includes footage not seen in the movie version); we give you this remastered CF/O cut of Animalympics as it would have looked at those early furry parties.

If you were talking about funny animal fandom you would be more right but by the time that underground comic fandom turned into furry fandom it became a lot more LGBT.
We split off from that early underground comic fandom in 1989 when we launched the first furry con.
If you could help fund (or promote) this great project! Ash Coyote keeps getting locked out of her account. Let's hear it for being crushed under the wheels of automated systems?
@thedicedog
We used to play Werewolf here and the GM at the house was really angry how they ruined that game by removing all the environmental aspects of it. Most all their games after the reboot were kinda terrible due to really obvious shift an tone and politics.
Hey,
@DogpatchPress
check out this fursuit footage from the 1986 Worldcon in Atlanta.
At the start of the tape we have Hani from the book series The Pride of Chanur as well as other interesting mid 80s costumes later on.
@Kattmint
@andreuswolf
Yes, the first furry convention was 1989 but there were furry parties all the way back in the early 80s and both founders of ConFurence were BI and there was quite a lot of LGBT stuff then.
Oh for example at this Lance Rund party poster from Comicon 1988 for example.

It looks like Joshua Acosta just got sentenced to 150 years to life in prison.
Overall, I'm still not sure how to process all these events and still left with questions will probably never get answered.
Putting this out there: There's no party this week. The whole household will bet at Further Confusion.
The January 2023 PS Party will be on Sat the 21st, NOT Saturday the 14th, as the 2nd weekend is Further Confusion. We should be back to our regular 2nd Saturday in February.
The January Skiltaire party is going to be a week late due a conflict with Further Confusion, so we need to get the word out that is it on January 20th.
We will repeat this later.
Prancing Skiltaire Summer Picnic, Saturday, June 26, 11:00 am, Garden Grove Park, Garden Grove. On Atlantis Way just north of Garden Grove Blvd, next to the Baseball Field parking. More details to follow, but the big one: Please Be Vax'd!

If you have not read this ... you really should.
Sorry about the late announcement but I expect people can assume we are still in lockdown. No party. If you do have a computer I can recommend getting on VRChat and checking out
@Confuror

Sorry to announce that we will NOT be hosting our monthly Prancing Skiltaire Party this month (February). We're busy helping a new roommate move in and we're doing some renovation and construction on the back yard that will not be completed by the 12th. Sorry everyone!
@trainzguy261
You don't need to know the history to be a furry. It's nice if we're remembered but it's never a requirement. We tried hard to not gatekeep early in the fandom we just wanted to shout to the world how cool this stuff was. If you learn about Ken that's cool too as he's wonderful.
