nightmare or furry movie?

Definately sounds like one heck of a dream. xD I'd say you got yourself a good story script to go by. Lawyer pulls the fire alarm, everyone evacutes, and then he drops the bomb right there. Yup, definately good material. ^^ Let us just hope that doesn't actually happen at AC '08. o.o;

If your dream becomes a reality... I will be forced to claw you. I want my first furry con to not end horribly. ^.^;;

I don't think they could shut us down that easily. Even if the convention center threw us out, I would get as many furs as I could to stick around in Pittsburgh. We could all just fined a good public place in the city to set up camp and keep the convention going. The David L. is nice but it is not Anthrocon's spirit, that is in the furs that show up every year.

Dear lord, you want me to do what with that hairdryer!?

You know, we should so make a cheesy low budget movie of this. With the ending of a grand battle between the anti-furries and the fursuiters!

Start working up a script! I smell a oscar baby!

I'd say it was just a nightmare. Dreaming that some lawyer shuts down the biggest furry convention in the world doesn't mean that's what we are in for. There's no way that one man can do something like that.

You know, I have this recurring daydream that the convention got cancelled by order of the President. I don't really know what Bush thinks of the furry fandom, but I do know that conservatives like him restrict individual freedoms (I'm currently taking US Government in my senior year of high school) and seek a strict interpretation of the Constitution. I don't think that would really happen, though.

all i can say is wtf are you smoking and please do not share it lol. that is unless you want to have totally craz dreams LOL

Nightmare.

With as much much as we brought into Pittsburgh, I think that we'll be welcomed for many years to come.

Besides, this has been a smashing success for us all.

rar...
So it seems I should try and make a movie out of this. anyone got a movie camera or know Bruce Campbells phone number?

Which one? Pompous idiot or lecherous old drunkard?

Erf, please do not make a movie out of this unless you really plan to investigate how many legal channels and strings would have to be pulled for a city to outright ban a convention.

Look at it this way, cities can't even ban the KKK of neo-Nazis. They people in the city can mock them and taunt them as they come, and have a gathering of clowns make fun of their stupidity as one city did, but they can't ban them.

In fact, I'd say that with rights groups always ready to go on the attack at the first sign of censorship, no major city in its right mind would even think of declaring that it has banned a group from having conventions. Tourism in that city would almost assuredly drop precipitously as other groups would worry they might be next and the political fall-out would be devastating.

The only kind of sneaky way to pull something like that off would be to have the hotel and convention center to 'independently' decide to raise the rental rates so as to make it fiscally impossible to afford. But even then, that requires a conspiracy, and conspiracies have one major flaw: humans can't keep their mouthes shut.

So really, to make this sort of thing work, first the government would have to fall into a Communist or Fascist-style regime, or a military dictatorship, that would strip away all personal freedoms and abolish the Constitution. Then once all resistance has been crushed, the newly appointed obedient leaders of cities and states would go about banning, and then inevitably exterminating, starving out, or banishing the undesirables, protestors, and anyone who belonged to the opposite side beforehand.

It'd be kinda like the Soviet Union under Stalin.

Aaaaand I think in that kind of scenario, we would have far more to worry about than a convention.
