So, I've been a fur for about a good 10 or so years now. It's really the only thing that makes me feel better about myself and being apart of the community. I've even went as far as making a fursuit, but I never once been to any furry related conventions/furcons but been thinking about going to one really soon! Just curious, Has anyone here ever been to one? What's it like? What do you go for? Is it worth it? What are your thoughts? Thanks!

I've been a 'furry' for 14 years and I never been to one.

thanks social anxiety! :)

They're a really fun unique experience. I'd recommend going at least once if it appeals to you.

I would like to go to one but going alone is off-putting for me

As a Soloist by nature, Went alone my first time and It was SOOO~ RAD, Dood~!

I was completely swept away by the nice peeps, Anthro friendliness around
every corner and Roaring night-life there! Found out with an exp like that,
having peeps makes it better but that doesn't at all mean going alone is
anything short of Suuuuuper fun and awesome, Dood!

It's like Smash, Sure party mode is fun with pals but
What about subspace emissary, Dood!

yeah, that's always been my problem, too. I don't really enjoy, just like, existing in spaces without a purpose, and having someone else there kinda solves that. unfortunately I don't have any furries I know IRL and I don't really have anyone from online to meet up with either.

that being said, from what I've heard about conventions I'm not really sure they're my vibe, anyway, so... ʚ(𝈐⎻~⎻)

That's exactly my issue as well. Idk, I might just go for the dancing and dealer's den. Apparently, the creator of Chikn Nuggit was at the one I was debating on attending. The regret is slowly settling in.

Dammit, that's actually a good analogy. I might be fully convinced, big thank for that 🤝🤝

Furry cons are extremely special. I honestly think all of my future vacations will be furry cons. Really amazing experience.

You do really need to go with friends though, don't go alone.
