The jokes write themselves. Including if said Microwave was his waifu because unlike real women, it cooked him dinner when he wanted it to (rather than say he needs to go for a shower first).

Why do intoxicated people do anything? Low impulse control and being fuled by a crowd.

Clearly he didn't get his microwave oven peace-bonded before bringing it to the packed dance floor. Or it could've been a microwave lifted from the hotel room (doubtful, since it seems like 90% of mid-range hotels don't have one as standard amenity).

From my understanding he stole it from the front lobby/bar area. The hotel was probably pissedm

Yeah, seems that the guy definitely grabbed one of the microwaves from the lobby. I looked through the Google user pics of the Doubletree in Stamford that Furpoc was held at, and noticed this photo someone uploaded of the lobby.
Looks to be the same model from the video. Either way, it's still a pretty funny way to get banned.

I have stayed in the hotel before. So when I had freinds tell me it was stolen from the lobby I belived them. It is right next to the bar area so hotel staff could have easily saw them take it and alerted con staff to it.

Small update on the microwave incident: The video was also posted on Instagram, and an account named novemberboio / Joseph Budnick is claiming to be the “microwave guy.” He’s currently trying to defend himself in the comments.
The original Instagram link to the video is here, but since Instagram links don’t reliably archive, you’ll need an account to view the full thread.
TL;DR:
-The person who removed Joseph’s badge in the video was the convention’s chairman, not security.
-Joseph claims he had permission from a member of the hotel staff to take the lobby’s microwave and carry it into the dance.
-Another commenter says they watched Joseph run past them in the lobby when the microwave was first taken, and again when Joseph was escorted back to return it.
Personally? I think Joseph probably did get permission from someone at the hotel, but the convention staff didn’t want to deal with the liability if he broke it. Most conventions have a code of conduct rule along the lines of “don’t intentionally damage hotel property,” so they likely used that as enough justification to remove him.

I saw a clip of that on Tiktok, it's weird but I get why you'd kick someone out for that, imagine if he tripped and someone got bashed over the head with a microwave.
Definitely not the worst thing I've heard of happening at a convention though.

Interesting drama is manifesting in the New Jersey furry scene, as once again, outsiders are using their larger influence and resources to bully actual NJ events into submission. To preface this, it’s important to understand some of the prior events in the NJ furry convention scene to grasp how we reached this point. This is going to get a little autistic, so bear with me.
I’ll be honest; I tried to decipher this entire shitshow a few months back, and even now, I’m still having trouble understanding the entirety of what the hell happened. But this is my best attempt to piece it together. What follows is a quick and dirty TL;DR explanation of the whole New Jersey Convention drama (because, quite frankly, if I went over every tiny incident in detail, this would go on for 70 paragraphs):
It all started last year when several furries attempted to start their own furry convention in New Jersey, Garden State Fur The Weekend (GSFTW). The event and its organizers came under fire for a few reasons. The main ones:
The first was The Big One (TBO), a small furmeet organized by Garden State’s former PR staffer, Pawsouls. Paw had already been organizing local NJ furmeets for years and decided to return to that after leaving the convention, resulting in a mini-convention for 150-ish people held at a small hotel. She intentionally scheduled it for the same weekend as GSFTW 2025. While Paw states that her event was meant to stand on its own, the timing and context make her intentions fairly obvious, especially since she was a former Garden State staffer.
Meanwhile, the staff behind Furrydelphia (Pennsylvania) and The Furst State (Delaware) noticed the chaos in New Jersey and apparently decided the best course of action was to throw an obnoxious amount of money and resources at creating their own spite convention in NJ, on the same weekend as Garden State, and just a short drive away. They called it Furgeddaboutit, and spent the lead-up to the event loudly a-logging Garden State across social media, making increasingly unhinged posts like implying every single GSFTW staffer was a sex offender. Overall, it was abundantly clear that the only reason they were doing it was to spite GSFTW.
Reaction to Furgeddaboutit was mixed among New Jersey furries. While most outsiders and terminally online furries saw it as “owning the nazi chuds” or whatever, most of the actual New Jersey furry community despised it. Even if GSFTW was a mess behind the scenes, a lot of the locals felt that Furrydelphia and Furst State were brute-forcing their way into an existing scene and using their bigger platform to bully smaller NJ events out of the way, effectively using their nepotism to forcefully take over a space they ideally shouldn’t have any influence over in the first place.
Given how loudly Furged bragged that “no other good furry events” were happening that weekend, some furries accused them of doing it to spite TBO, not GSFTW. This led to Furged posting a groveling apology to TBO, briefly promoting TBO on their social media, and promising to avoid this kind of overlap in the future.
So what actually happened in early May 2025, when all three events ran on the same weekend? Not a whole lot, honestly. GSFTW saw a big drop in attendance (around 350 total, down from roughly 900 in 2024) but still went on without much incident, aside from Lumin City showing up outside the hotel and having an embarrassing one-man “protest” where he screamed at random pedestrians, calling them Nazis until the police were called. Furged drew about 600 people, and TBO hit its attendance cap of 150.
On paper, those attendance numbers don’t sound terrible, but considering all three events happened in proximity on the same weekend, those attendance numbers are slightly inflated due to some attendees visiting multiple events, and given GSFTW’s prior 900 attendees, it is clear interest was somewhat fragmented due to all this drama.
And make no mistake about Furged: while it claims to be its own creation, it’s abundantly clear to anyone with a brain that it’s 100% funded and operated by Furrydelphia and The Furst State staff. You can verify this easily by looking at their staff listings, since every single person listed for Furged also appears on the current staff rosters for Furrydelphia and Furst State.
Here’s Furged’s Board of Directors, taken directly off the current Wikifur edit (as of this writing).
And here's the staff listings for Furrydelphia and Furst State. FD’s is also sourced from WikiFur. Furst State’s roster isn’t listed there, so I used the version posted on their official website (archive). The names highlighted in yellow are Furged staff members.
Note that Furged’s convention chair, Osiris Adustus, is listed on all three events. It goes without saying that serving on multiple convention boards can understandably be viewed as a significant conflict of interest.
Alright, now that we’ve got all that incredibly autistic background information out of the way, it’s time to jump to the present day. All three events are still slated for 2026, and this time, all three have stated they want to distance themselves from the situation and pick their own weekend.
While GSFTW hasn’t announced its 2026 dates yet (as of this writing), TBO revealed theirs back on August 1st. Clicking the booking link leads to a hotel site, which lists dates of April 24-27, 2026. This announcement was also mirrored on their social media accounts, including Twitter and Bluesky.
Now we jump to two days ago, November 7th. Furgeddaboutit tweeted a video announcing their 2026 dates, and they picked… April 23-26, 2026. The same weekend as TBO. Again.
Normally, I’d chalk this up to a bad coincidence, but when you consider that in the past 10 months alone, this is the third time Furg has been accused of intentionally scheduling over established New Jersey events and overstepping their boundaries, and Paw explicitly went out of her way to not schedule TBO in May to make sure this doesn't happen again… come on. Furg's not fooling anybody this time.
Osiris (Furg’s chairman) attempted to do damage control by claiming Pawsouls never reached out to him, he never reached out to Paw, and all this was just an unfortunate coincidence. However, this is a massive fucking lie.
Pawsouls responded by posting screenshots in her furmeet chat showing DMs she had with Osiris from back in July, proving that not only had they communicated about this prior, but that Osiris was fully aware of the potential conflict and said he’d make sure to avoid scheduling the same weekend. Again, TBO’s 2026 dates were publicly announced on August 1, so even if this conversation never happened, there was public knowledge of TBO 2026’s dates for well over three months before Osiris made the Furg 2026 announcement.
TL;DR: Furrydelphia and Furst State have overshadowed or interfered with smaller furry events in New Jersey at least three times over the past year. While it’s possible that this latest incident was originally an unfortunate coincidence, they proceeded to double down and outright lie about what happened (despite clear evidence to the contrary).
Ultimately, there’s proof that Osiris at least attempted to communicate with Pawsouls beforehand to prevent the conflict. When it happened anyway (accident or not), the larger issue is that he chose to deny these conversations ever happened rather than acknowledge his mistake. The worst part? Because Furrydelphia and Furst State are much larger events, they’ll likely face no real consequences for this incredibly shitty behavior.

It all started last year when several furries attempted to start their own furry convention in New Jersey, Garden State Fur The Weekend (GSFTW). The event and its organizers came under fire for a few reasons. The main ones:
- The chairman initially wouldn’t ban several furries with conservative views from their Telegram chat (despite them not breaking any rules).
- Three years prior, their chairman was friendly with someone who was associated with the Furry Raiders. When combined with the first point, this made half of furry Twitter scream about the convention being full of Nazis.
- The event’s listing was randomly changed from a non-profit to a for-profit organization a couple of months before the convention.
- The original chairman publicly “stepped down” after all of this controversy. It was later discovered that this is a lie, as the information for the organization still remains under his name (as of this writing).
- During the 2024 convention itself, they allowed someone from Fox News to enter the space and interview attendees about their political views.

GoldenHorn, a slovenina furry convention, has been attacked by some people from outside the hotel or the event.
Firecrackers were thrown, a fire extinguisher was used, and some people got hurt and received medical attention. The official statement from the convention is as follows:
More stuff on their official Telegram channel from the 2 days of the events:
Meanwhile some peopleare greatly inflating the events compared to the official release and trying to play it off as a hate crime despite not being an attendee of the event.
It seems shit actually went down, see post below this one.

Pardon the double post but it seems the con statement underplayed what happened.

Assuming they're not exaggerating, this is exactly the sort of thing chargebacks are for. Hope nobody paid cash.
