Hotel rooms for Anthrocon sell out in 24 hours​

Anticipation is so high for the furries' return to Pittsburgh this summer that all reserved hotel rooms sold out in less than one day, VisitPITTSBURGH said.

Within 24 hours, over 7,600 contracted hotel rooms sold out after reservations opened on Feb. 2. VisitPITTSBURGH said it made an extra 1,800 available, expanding blocks and finding more hotels.

Anthrocon, scheduled for June 29 through July 2, is expected to attract more than 9,700 people to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, bringing in an estimated total of $10.8 million in direct spending, according to VisitPITTSBURGH.

The organization has been working with Anthrocon since 2006 to host the international convention. There are also citywide events planned like a block party and parade on July 1, which everyone is invited to.

Anthrocon board chair Sam Conway said "fans of the artistic and literary genre known as furry" are looking forward to coming back to Pittsburgh.

"Our fandom includes professional sports mascots, animators, cartoonists, puppeteers, artists, illustrators, and writers, as well as those who simply think that it would be a wonderful thing if animals could walk or talk. We look forward to working with VisitPITTSBURGH in the coming months as furries from around the globe plan their trip to Pittsburgh," Sam Conway, Anthrocon board chair, said in a press release.

Do they still do that crazy shit I used to hear about in the early 2000's? Like a Woman just dropping to the floor during the con, and then banging a plushie with a dildo strapped to it while everyone just stood around watching?

I smell another Rainfurrest incident around the corner.

Pittsburgh and furriest deserve each other. Hopefully the degenerates decide to sightsee some of the more culturally enriched areas.

Furries seem to have way more disposable income than your average dork.

Pay my way and I will go undercover and upload raw footage to the farms. I can't imagine it would be too hard to hide a go pro in some doofy animal costume rented from a theater store or some shit.

Be sure to livestream your suicide for us once you realize its the only way you're going to be free of the horrors you bore witness to.

This may be tangentially related, but I've always wondered what most of those people do for a living.

How much minecraft TNT do you think you could hide in an animal costume?

this was the same convention that registered sex offender Daniel Mizuho Llamas aka Growly was a leading member in the all ages parade right?

I hope they have insurance. Because furries are infamous for acting like animals.

This may be tangentially related, but I've always wondered what most of those people do for a living.

Some of them actually do have jobs, there are plenty who just use mom and dad's money. Consider the Balldo. That was definitely made by a furry.

It's always about sodomizing pizza with these degenerates.

They should really be careful of the griefers with Flint & Steel, I've heard those suits are quite flammable, even more so than a tree.

I think I may have said this before, but the only furry I've ever known who would admit to being so was a former Navy nuclear engineer who worked in the private sector. Knowing him meant I was not shocked when the Sam Brinton drama came out.

Rent a hazmat suit and put a cheap set of cat ears on it.

I was just thinking about that video and I hope we can another Internet Historian video about the topic.

God damn it dude don't ruin pizza for me now, everything else in this world that I love has been destroyed, ruined, or turned to shit.

Furries are allowed to operate the most dangerous weapons known to man? No wonder our country's going down the tubes.

I just had an image of him getting honey-potted by a Chinese spy in a pangolin suit and laughed for a bit.
