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.

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

We probably have a guy in a bat costume working in the Biological Warfare department at any rate.

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

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.

I expect you to dress up as a horse and hide the 8k camera in the horse dick- it's the only way to blend in, especially with the sexual encounters

I feel sorry for the hotel staff that has to clean up all the shitty adult sized diapers they toss in the hallways.

All the hotel jannies should get paid extra for dealing with furries. At least time and a half during the entire duration of the furcon.

They should have had hasmat gear and those old man grabber arms along with all the 1950's chemicals that'll eat through concrete, just to be safe

And they say white people have no culture

I hope every inbound flight gets 11/9'd. That's right, two hijacked buildings flown right into the side of each and every aircraft. Edit to be extra sure I do not get Chitwood'd:

Indeed. Chlorine trifluoride is the only way to deal with the level of biohazard furry cons leave behind. Just burn it all down to the bedrock and then some.

Normally I'm all against shutting things on the Internet down, but I will make an exception for /k/ because its less of a magical place and more of a magical realm.

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

A disconcerting number of furries are in STEM fields. This is why they throw fat wads of cash at their degenerate hobbies.

Our "culture" is consoomerism and sexual degeneracy because no bitch wants to date us.

 

[Otterly]

One day nature will evolve some kind of superbug that thrives only on the wet, warm inner surfaces of sweat and fluid splashed fur suits and the entire problem will vanish.
It must be so hot in those damn things. Imagine the smell

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.

I've been around the block enough times that outside of watching a bunch of furries rape a child to death, I don't think I'd be too fazed by anything.

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

I reckon you could fit enough blocks to act as a super creeper.

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

I was thinking a gimp suit under the costume in order to keep the filth away from my body but a hazmat suit would definitely help keep the smells away. Oh god, the smells.

I don't think a local theater supply/costume shop is going to have a horse costume with a horse cock and I'm not willing to go deep cover enough to get one made by the creeps.

As a guy that does a bit of mecha/big rig cosplay, habibi, all you need is cardboard, hot glue, some foam, and a mailing tube. They won't question a thing:

Your disguise will be perfect.

I truly feel for the cleaning staff. All those used diapers....

I mean tbf @Sniperwoof is a furry who works in IT and he isnt a degenerate ( HOPEFULLY... that is ).

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 suspect that's the actual reason why they sold out in hours. No hotel chain will let them in after previous years so there's only about a dozen rooms available

Not really at this one (save for the hotel rooms, which are absolutely haram).

Anthrocon is like the New York Comic Con for furries. It's the oldest, the most respected, and the harshest run one with the lowest tolerance for nonsense.

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

A fair amount go for work (Artists, Suit Makers, and just vendors) but an unsurprisngly high level of computer touchers and other laptop caste jobs.

They had roughly 9,000 rooms available and most furries are not good with money and will put 6+ people in each room.

That'll teach me to read properly.
