Official-ish Charity news! + Bonus 'free -gas' opportunity.
The bad news:
Our con takes place the same weekend as our charity's largest yearly event, the Big Cat Bazaar ... They are generally understaffed as is, so certainly cannot afford to sent anyone to the con to run any panels or otherwise educate people about the facility. This also means by default no cute-and-fuzzies being brought to the con that make you weak in the knees so you can't chase them when they steal all your money. :/

I'd also like to point out that while dealing with the EFBC they were wary of anything I had to offer for help because apparently they had issues with fur cons both in San Fransisco and San Diego in the past... I hope we can do better than that.

The Good News:
I finally got the OK from a legal perspective to do what I think is the best I can do to help out... long story short, there's going to be a special charity-related item auctioned off at the Cabaret. If you like going to zoos, especially the EFBC, you won't want to miss it.


On a side note, this is rather short notice but I'll be going to the EFBC on Sunday to take care of the business mentioned above. I'm going to try to get there shortly after they open, and will be staying until they kick me out. Anyone that wants to know the specifics of what I have planned for the con is free to make the trip to Rosamond and I'll cover your entry fees, just mention you're with that guy from Califur, BluJaguar, or Tim Wells and they should let you in. If I'm late I'll call ahead to let them know.

Yeah, it's a bit out of the way for many... but it's a nice trip, and you can bring you mom like I'm going to, moms love kitties. :) (Sunday is Mother's Day, you know that right?)
