So, i am new to the con scene
and i would love to go to either
07 or/and 08. but you see,
i am a youngin (19) and have
no real good fur friends.

i would kind of want to get in
touch with some previous con goers
and talk more about going to cons
and getting the full experience.

thanks ^___^

well, if yer lookin for furs in your area, I can send you to a database of links. Its on another forum. I made it a long time ago. A few list owners requested that links to their lists stay off the list, but for the most part, ITS BIG. Im sure there is a link on there for you to use.

Just search through it, find a mailing list or forum for furs in your area, and try checking that for any furs that might want to travel with you. I wouldnt suggest just poking around any old forum out there because you will get more area specific responses from an area specific forum/mailing list.

here is the section of the forum i mentioned. Oh, and its been a while since ive updated it, so I cant garuntee that the links on it will still be active.

good luck

Greetings all! I am Alexei, and this will be the year that I lose my con virginity. I've been looking forward to going to AC for a looooong time. I too would appreciate some veteran congoers to hold my hand if you will. And I look forward to finally seeing some more of my own kind.

I will tell you all something, from my own highly personal expereince. In the Tips for Congoers on strict budget..yes..they are Wonderful tips..but if you are NOT from around the pittsburg area, for GODDESS' sake..BUY or BOIL any water you drink! If you are not used to the water in the area, you can get really..really..really ill. As in, staying in your room throwing up from both ends sick. Trust me -.-;; So yes..Drink Water. Plenty of it. But please..buy it. A gallon of water doesnt cost that much and it wont make you sick! and oh...water in resurants Generally doesnt count..its usually filtered.

For last year's AC, I was in Pittsburgh from Wednesday afternoon to Monday afternoon. I drank their tap water morning, noon, and night, and did not have any symptoms.

Are you sure that you did not have some form of Con Crud?

It only lasted for half an hour to maybe an hour, and it only happened AFTER I drank half a glass of water from the hotel bathroom tap. After which we started boiling it through the lovely coffee machine, we all where fine.

Not to pry into your medical history, but have you mentioned this to a doctor?

I ask because after getting about 400 post-con surveys submitted, I do not recall a single person complaining about gastrointestinal symptoms at the convention.

It happened to a couple of my friends, and it happens to me everytime i happen to go to another state. ive learned from past expereince to not drink the water..I Knew I shouldnt have drank the water and i did anyway cause i was thirsty at that moment and we had only just gotten there. It happened to one of my roommates too, which is why i knew it was the same thing. Cause we where both fine an hour later and eating dinner.

I dont mean to be a pain Giza..I just wanted to warn people is all..-whimper-

Wow, that's weird. (and very short term, which probably rules out bacteria and viruses)

Have you considered maybe taking Pepto Bismol, immoodium, or something similar during the convention so you don't have to go to the trouble of boiling your water?

(I wasn't trying to bust on you or anything, I was just pointing out that this is the first I've heard of any such issues. Contrast with some non-furry cons I know from past years, where food contamination made a double-digit percentage of the attendees ill. I'll tell you that story sometime. Smiling )

Thanks a bunch Giza for the tips and FAQ links. It helped. Now all I have to do is find some room mates to share a hotel room with, and wait for the good times to roll.

while this won't be my first con, it will be my first furry con. that is, if I can be able to go. if i get all my finances worked out, as well as able to get the Independance Day weekend off from work (near impossible, as my bosses will probably deny any request I make to have those days off, but I won't know unless I try), then I will be able to attend AC07. I have known about AC since about 2001, and have been wanting to go, but unable to until now (possibly). I have been to an anime con 3 times, so I am not technically new to the con scene, though I am for furry cons (as I mentioned).

I really hope I can make it this year.
