As the propeller beanie was invented by a con attendee as a symbol of cons and fandom I was pleased to see furries wearing propeller hats at @AnthroSocal where @JunoandMaxx were guests.

Very awesome to see our friend John Hertz - super fan, LASFS member, and Big Heart Award winner, wearing an authentic Ray Nelson made propeller beanie! We met John last year at Worldcon and he made us feel welcomed, explain old fan history to us, and later sent us a nice letter.

All the Magfest discourse and gatekeeping is wild. I’m not a katsu β€œperson” jumping ship (I’ve gone one time lol) I’m just a girly who was told Mag is awesome and to try to go during my bday weekend πŸ₯ΉπŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ I just love video game music and am a frequent vg orchestra attendee 🫣

Hotel squatters, botters, and scalpers did this to magfest. Selling out in 6 hours is very unusual. MAGFest has not announced any concerts or special programming. So this is very suspect.

did the katsucon people actually commit to migrating to magfest πŸ’€

I guess I missed my couple hour window to get @MAGFest tickets because I was too busy at a close family members funeral. This will be the first time in 13 years I will not be able to attend. If this truly is due to scalpers then this is incredibly disappointing and disheartening

Page from my Wrath of Con comic I released this last Worldcon depicting the Scienceers (arguably the first science fiction fantasy fan club) singing as they visit Scienceers Rock. You can read the webcomic here: wrathofconcomic.com/ Lyric come from Filk Discography Wiki.

extremely depressing!!

NEW: Three printers who print dōjinshi and make Comiket possible have closed in under a year. It's raising alarm bells among both fans and the printing industry as valuable know-how disappears from the printing market, putting a beloved fandom at risk. buff.ly/Oo16Ml7

Dōjinshi Market Squeezed as Major Printers Fueling Comiket Close Shop - Unseen Japan

The printers who make fan manga possible are closing at an alarming rate. The Middle East ink crisis is only one cause.

MFF is infamous for its hotel lottery, we never won in our decade of applying either.

Delighted Ken Fletcher was given a copy of my Wrath of Con comic and dropped by to chat about fan history. Co-founders of the APA Vootie, considered one of the many origin points of furry fandom. Funny the week before at Worldcon saw he was one of the Rotsler Award winners.

The don't miss event of the night is the Worldcon Masquerade, starting at 8 pm, PDT, in the Anaheim Arena! This will be an onstage presentation extravaganza where genre costumers of all levels and abilities show off their skills and compete for awards.
A person wearing a multicolored fabric cloak who has purple hair, presents an award to another person in a pastel fur suit who is wearing glasses fit to the fur suit. Behind them, there is a large group of people dressed in multicolored Elizabethan costumes - one in sapphire blue, one in red, one in white and black, one in green, and one in a gold with a fruit pattern on the skirt.

Thanks to all @laworldcon attendees who came to my 90 Years of Cons history party last night in GoH Geri Sullivan's suite. We started with serving drinks made by First Fandom and ended the night with the brony "Where the Magic Happens" a perfect summary of the 90 years of cons.

I like that the Hugo Awards are basically being opened by two furries. Toastmaster Ursula Vernon, Ursa Major Award winning creator of Digger and GoH of many furry cons, and Fuzzy the Channel Island Fox, mascot of @laworldcon 🐾🦊 #Worldcon #LAConV #HugoAward #Fursuit
