So with all the BS floating around ANW I might as well give information to Stop certain rumors. When I was on staff last yr Gabriel said in person “the word Furry is blacklisted from Washington state conventions and Hotels.”

I'm a little confused on the wording. Does that mean Seattle venues banned furry events, or the con banned association with furry? (Or something different?)

From what he told me the name furry was blacklisted, anything parading saying it’s a furcon or furry anything is out. Hence the push for the anthro name.

Tbh After attending ANW for the last 2 days. This has been an awesome event besides the usual teething issues. Gabriel put a lot of thought in to this event. We even got custom hotel key cards! All the panels have been great! The hotel staff have been very courteous helpful.

I was very uneasy about the media coverage. So i made sure not to sign the waiver.

IMHO y'all should come here. And judge for your selves. Before you start yammering about how terrible it is that its being called by a different name. I can tell you the people here really don't seem to mind we are still having a blast. ^^

I would if my partner hadn’t been the first of Gabriel’s bans. I left on staff after he asked both of us to deliver PM we had after rude dealings with the staff and have him “be judged before the board.”

But like I said I’m very happy ppl are having a good time and that y’all are seeing friends! I’m not trying to rain on ppls con parades, I want a con in WA again more than anything. Doesn’t mean I can’t be skeptical of the person running it after personal dealings.
