Definitely going to be hitting up the dealers' den first thing,
To see what it's like, Take in the sights, Buy a few armloads
of biz I find Rad~ but, along with me blowing my bank in
the dealers', I really want to take some pictures with the
awesome peeps I know would be there, Dood!
◠‿◠)~★

Thing is, Manner-wise, I'll have no idea what I'd be doing once
I get there. And the last thing I wanna do is to step on another
peep's toes, especially when those toes alone probably cost well
over $1000, Dood.
◠‿╹;)

Any Safety tips you could spare for a peep planning
on going to their first Furry Con or Con in General
that'll make sure that they can enjoy the time
that they're there Fully and Safely, Dood?

• As much as you want to share the experience... don't share too much.

Maintain the personal hygiene, get plenty of sleep, take into account the possibility that you might get sick once you get home, and that should be okay.

• Always ask before taking pictures of fursuiters. Some might love the attention, but others don't. These and other reasons are why there's often designated times and places for photography.

• For the most part, it's probably pretty much the same sorts of manners and courtesy you should have in any social gathering.

Not all of these are specifically about cons, but many of them will apply: https://e621.net/pools/38

Wouldn't recommend this. Very dated (a lot has changed since the '00s) and some of it is just implicitly saying "don't openly be a furry".

I did enjoy learning about tumbles_the_stairdragon though.

I'm pretty sure that's precisely the point. The general public shouldn't have to put up with most of our bs tbh.

Pleasing the general public is overrated, Dood. T‿T)

I'm not going there to see peeps in button-ups discussing their favorite flavor of water,
I'm going to the con for the flamboyant extravagance this Fandom is known for! I wanna
see something out there, I wanna see peeps having a great time being themselves, Dood!
◠‿◠)

Sure I don't want things getting too chaotic either but, saying
"The general public shouldn't have to put up with most of our bs tbh."
is exactly the opposite reason why I'm going there. For four days
the 'General Public' is Gonna have to deal with it, Wither they
throw a fit about it or not, and I wanna be there to see it, Dood

(And to buy so much Furry stuff, Like Saving up months worth just to buy that much, Dood! ◠‿◠)
