For the impatient, we show up when the timer says -2:15 or so.

Hah.

AC wouldn't have been my pick for "best," but whatever. ;}

Oh come on, we could totally take those grown men who are buying G.I. Joe dolls!

Damn right we could :D

But I meant out of all possible furry conventions, I don't think AC deserves the win. I tend to get less enjoyment from it compared to smaller cons. Though since I generally make my own fun, smaller ones might simply be a better fit.

I will just state for the record that the name of that "award" is hilarious considering the vast majority of Anthrocon's clientèle.

Yes, I always wondered why there are so many people named Melissa in the fandom as well.

Oh crap, that's how my parents found out about fursuits xP. They just asked me at lunch today "What was that convention you went to out in Pittsburgh again?" I told them Anthrocon "Oh no, that wasn't the name of it, it was fur fest something... you couldn't have gone to that one, there were people dressed up like animals or something".

That's hilarious xD My parents are slowing putting all the pieces together...I'm just glad it isn't bothering them too much :P

The drunk Russians might give us a run for our money, though.
