Anthrocon 2010

Don't miss Anthrocon 2010's featured performers!

	Furry Fandom's home-grown professional comic, '2' the Ranting Gryphon has been a fixture of most Furry conventions for years. His voice has been heard throughout the world through his signature rants and through his wildly popular 2 Sense internet radio program. '2' will be performing at Anthrocon on Friday night, June 25. Warning: not for children or for those with sensitive dispositions!
	Bucktown Tiger is a keyboardist and lyricist from Little Rock, Arkansas, who has been a part of the furry community since 2005. Bucktown is well-known for performing songs on the keyboard while dressed in his tiger fursuit and has played numerous concerts and talent shows across the country. Bucktown believes that we should live life to its fullest, knowing that we cannot recover lost time, and he strives to enjoy each and every day, while sharing his music with his friends as much as he can.
	Tom Smith is Weird Al with more books; Jonathan Coulton with more jokes; George Carlin with more Cthulhu. Tom is not your ordinary comedy musician. With the lyrical complexity of Ashman and Sondheim, the vocal fireworks of Meat Loaf, the comedic timing of Robin Williams, and the dynamic physique of the Skipper from Gilligan's Island, the only thing he won't do is be boring.
	One of the fandom's premiere performers, Matthew Ebel has lit the Furry world on fire with his unique Piano Rock style. He's played shows at FA:U, Megaplex, MFM, and was FWA's 2009 Guest of Honor. Outside the Furry world he's backed up major label stars at the Grand Ole Opry, performs weekly as a Featured Channel on UStream, and is generating quite a bit of attention with his groundbreaking subscription site.
	Dances! Every year, Anthrocon features some of the most talented DJs in the fandom. This year's lineup includes: Rory, Alphawolf, Pawz, Rukkus, Croc, Protocollie, Tekfox, Dragonboy, Banshee, Ironheart, BBF, Antimon, Rory, Rigel, Renard, and Lorefoxie.
	From years as the guy behind Poink T Weasel and Hughbert Manatee on the Funday Pawpet Show, to over a hundred PoinkCasts where he lets his two alter egos speak their minds, JR has also been performing standup for a few years now. Once again he brings his own brand of dark humor to Anthrocon, but this year the gloves are off and he has his own hour long show! Warning: may contain harsh language, dark concepts and weird noises.
	Since 1999, the cast of the Funday Pawpet Show has given the furry fandom their own internet broadcast with their wacky characters, zany antics, and an interactive environment on their weekly broadcast. It is rare for many of the cast members to appear together outside of the Orlando area. But you can join Rummage, Ezra, Poink, Blitz, Dusty, and their fuzzball friends for a LIVE performance at Anthrocon, 2010. They will be joined by the puppetry sensations of Fluff and Such Productions.
	Uncle Kage's Story Hour began as an old dotard babbling away in a hotel lobby in 1994, and has since grown into the gala spectacle of an old dotard babbling away before crowds of two thousand or more. If you are a fan of 2 Sense, you may have heard his voice reporting the "News From The Future." With new stories revealed at Anthrocon every year, Uncle Kage is sure to hold your attention as he relates the tales of his various misadventures. Watch for him on Saturday night, June 26.
