Anthrocon Livejournal Community

Hey folks.  Just a heads-up: I'm taking pre-orders for digital badges.  Prices start at $35.  Sizes available are 3"×4", 4"×3" and 4"×7½".  I've made a special arrangement with a friend who's dealing at Anthrocon, so you'll be able to pick the badges up right at their table. :) If you're interested, you can sign up here.  There are ten slots available.  Any questions, please note me on FA or message me through LiveJournal.

Thanks! I won't be able to make the convention, but I hope everyone has a great time.

Hey folks! Fitzroy Fox here!

All this May and possibly June, those attending Anthrocon can pre-order Super Toony badges for only $10!! Yep, that's $5 off my regular price!!

Here's some examples:

This special is for AC attendees ONLY, so they can pick the badges up at the con. I will disclose to those people where to pick them up at the con.

SO. I'm opening 20 slots. One badge order per person so everyone gets a shot. When I'm done with those 20, I may open more if time allows. First come, first served basis.

Note me on FurAffinity or message me here on LJ with your refs and I'll respond with my PayPal. I add the PayPal fee, so the total will be $10.61 so please add that and select "Goods or services" when paying, thanks! :-)

For those in the MD, VA, DC area, I am having a discussion class on furry for Black Rose.

As you may have heard, Anthrocon's selected charity this year is Equine Angels Rescue, a local 501(c)3 equine rescue, rehabilitator, and shelter. While cash donations made at the convention are great, the majority of funds are raised via donations of artwork and merchandise to our Charity Auction and Charity Raffle. We're looking for popular items and unique craftwork that will make people say, "I want that!"

While we must distribute items between the Raffle and Auction based on available space, time, and perceived and past value, here are some examples of donations that went big in past years...

Great examples for the raffle: Crafts based on hot trends (Harry Potter handmade house scarves - $57); Large amounts of candy (5lb Hershey bar, 9.25lb Nestle Crunch bar - $70); Art bought at prior convention art shows ("Wrath" art by Terrie Smith - $83); Giant, brand new plush of popular characters (Large "Bolt" plush - $107); Merchandise based on popular fiction (Dr. Who's sonic screwdriver - $158)

Great examples for the auction: Fursuit costumes and commissions (Horstachio costume & candy - $150); Rare convention memorabilia (Full set of all AC t-shirts since 1997 - $200); Professional sculpture (Dragon statue - $225); Unique opportunities (A speaking part in audio version of Diane Duane's "The Last Meow" - $500); Dorsai fursuit tags (Tag #1000 - $1600)

If you have an item you believe would be appropriate and would like to donate, please contact charity-2013(at)anthrocon.org!
