As many of you know, I'm a furry. Here are some convention pictures from a site called Furtrack:

The above two are from Midwest Furfest where I was last weekend. It's my favourite convention. The top picture is with a good friend of mine.

The above picture is from FWA in Atlanta in May.

I love going to conventions and I love fursuiting. It's so much fun!!!
 
I don’t get it, but the costumes are awesome.
Thank you! And they are expensive haha. But they are fun!!! And conventions are basically for us what a football game is for a football player, if that makes sense. It's a place for us to do what we love and be ourselves in the ways that we do it. And this is what I do for fun, and I love it!

So you make a costume that represents your spirit animal? That's pretty cool. Not for me, but I get it.

Pretty much. Though you don't necessarily need a suit to be a furry. But yeah, we basically take our favourite animal(s) or even mythological or created creatures and have them represent us. My fursona is a Clydesdale that plays for the Cowboys. Unfortunately, I don't play irl because I wasn't good enough and I had an injury that ended my playing time. However, I'll still play pickup every so often. Played at AnthroCon back in July.

Besides, I was a furry for years before I got my suit and before I went to conventions. That said, cons and fursuiting are everything I dreamed of when first I wanted to do those things. It's hot in the suit, but it's fun!!!
 
Looks like you have a great time with it, buddy! May...doesn't the suit get freaking hot?

It does. I primarily fullsuit at MFF, however, I did for FWA in May because it was rainy and the forecast had it as not too bad. I also fullsuited at TFF in 2022. Unfortunately, they keep putting it on Palm Sunday weekend, so I can't make that due to church obligations (same if they put it on Easter). If they'd stop putting the convention around Palm Sunday or Easter, I'd like to attend that convention again, especially since my suit has stars on it.

I never fullsuit at AnthroCon in Pittsburgh because that's in July. However, I know many people that do. Those that do usually have what's called a cooling vest where the vest basically has like a water pack in each side and on the back to keep them cool while doing that. So, that's how some have gotten around that problem.

However, for me, it's easy enough to partial when needed. My body type is similar enough to a small horse to where it works if I have to partial suit lol. But, in all seriousness, it's a lot of fun. I'm selective about when I put the head on because the visibility isn't great out of it. If you look at my suit head, you'll notice small black ovals in-between the brown ovals. That's my vision, and a portion of that view is blocked by my nose. So, for safety reasons, I'll walk around with it off if it's dark or if there's a lot of obstacles in the way. It does get hot, but it's fun because of what I'm doing in the suit.

I should say, as a PSA, if you see us furries out and about in suit, please note we do not have great visibility in our suits. So, just because you see us doesn't mean we see you. For me, along with a small hole through the mouth of my suit head being my main air supply when in suit, if there's sufficient light, I get a decent view of you, but again, half my vision is blocked by my nose. If it's dark, I have next to no visibility. So, even if you're in front of me and I have my suit head on, I literally can't see you unless you're just off to the side of one of the eyes of my suit.

Plus, and those of you who were on the old forum know this well, I've always been very open about being a furry since I joined the fandom in college. It's just now it's easier to show it because I have a suit (and it means I don't have to rotate images so often because I literally have a suit).

You need to embrace modern technology. Get yourself a hidden camera on the suit and put a small screen in the head like VR goggles. Also a computer cooling fan hidden by mesh and a batter pack on the belt to power it all. Problems solved! :laugh:

Honestly, I know a few people that do that. I have a friend who literally has LED lights in his suit head. Only problem is, my suit head goes into the seat in front of me on the planes lol. I actually have a 2.0 that, when I get the DTD done, should have much better vision. I have a fan with a lanyard that I'll sometimes wear and put in my mouth. If you see a furry with a fan pack or sometimes what looks like a Popsicle in our mouths, that's our fan. It means we're trying to cool off lol. I've actually got a friend that actually has a mic in the suit to where you can actually hear him (otherwise, we have to project more loudly and it can come off a bit muffled like Kenny from South Park). Then again, we have some "silent suiters" who will, more or less, play pictionary what they're trying to say while making squeaks and such. Usually Dutch Angel Dragons. It's really cool.

I should add that my current suit is what's called a "Digigrade" which means it's got padding to give my suit the appearance of having the bends that a horse would have. The 2.0, which will rotate with my 1.0, will be a plushy-style suit. That means it's going to look like a plush toy. It should be a nice rotational piece to where I can either take one or the other to cons or I can take both.
