12:30 pm [kgraleopard]	Pre-Reg Price Increase Deadline (May 31st) The first registration deadline is May 31st! After that date you can STILL pre-register, but the prices increase. Pre-registration is open until September 17th. Register now and you not only save money, but you assure yourself admission by getting in before we reach the attendance cap (1500). Three Great Reasons To Pre-Register: 1. It’s cheaper (you save cash monies)! 2. You get into the con quicker (less lines, less waiting)! 3. FurFright only hosts a maximum of 1500 attendees, and when you pre-reg you're guaranteed admission! In order to honor our attendees' wishes and preserve the character of the con, continue to serve our attendees on a personal level, avoid overcrowding and waiting 40 minutes for an elevator, and not ruin the damn thing by moving it into a soulless convention center, we host a maximum of 1500 attendees. Once that number is reached, in pre-reg and/or at-the-door, no more badges will be issued. So DON'T WAIT! Also... DON’T PANIC! There's still plenty of space (we're at 277 out of 1500), so just pre-reg and you're in! Easy peasy lemon squeezy! ;o) To Pre-Register, visit: http://www.furfright.org/attendee.html -- Also go to our front page for links to our Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and Live Journal! http://www.furfright.org/ (9 Comments |Comment on this)

I do not know what or how that happened, but I have passed along the info to the webmaster. (10 Comments |Comment on this)

1:15 pm [bearknight]	Support Another Northeast Con (What The Fur?)! "What The Fur?" in Montreal is two months away, and I'm literally giddy with anticipation! There's still plenty of time to book your room, register, and have some fun with us in The Great White North! All the info can be found here: http://www.whatthefur.ca/home_e.php FurFright is the con I work, and "What The Fur?" is the con I attend to relax and have a great time! The con is intimate, friendly, welcoming, nearby, and VERY affordable! The people who run it are salt of the earth (and have helped us staff FurFright for years), and they put on a con for all the right reasons. It's social, fun, unique, and Montreal is an amazing city! There's so much to see and do! And it's a short drive from most places in the Northeast! I'm from CT, and it only takes me 6 hours. Obviously it's shorter the farther North you live. ;o) I can NOT recommend this con enough! Attend if you can, and give them a shout in your journals/blogs! It's a great, young con that deserves our support! What The Fur? June 1-3rd, 2012 Montreal, Quebec, Canada http://www.whatthefur.ca/home_e.php I'm Belic Bear, and I approve this message . . . and con. XD (2 Comments |Comment on this)

3:25 pm [kgraleopard]	Dealer registration...an addendum This post is an addendum to update some now erroneous information from a previous post, located here: http://furfright.livejournal.com/454981.html Here is the updated information: If you visit the Dealer Registration page (http://www.furfright.org/dealer.html) right now, you will see a series of three grey-ed buttons near the top of the page. This is the new location of the Dealer Request form. At 11:59pm (Eastern time) on Saturday, March 31st, color will appear on these buttons, indicating they are active. The left side of the button will be blue, the other red. Dealers requesting half-tables will click on the blue half of the button; dealers wanting whole tables will click on the red half of the button. This will take you to the second portion of the form where you fill in the basic information listed previously (email address, business name, personal name). (NOTE: The buttons are also marked "half-table" and "full-table" to make things clear.) Please keep in mind that this first step will ONLY be to REQUEST a table. It is NOT a guarantee or purchase of a table. I will be online and responding to requests as they appear in my Inbox. This process will get backed up very quickly so it may be as much as an hour before I send out the final table request acceptance email. Anyone who doesn't receive an acceptance email will be put on our Waiting List for when/if any openings occur. If you have any questions about becoming a Dealer and you've read the Dealer Registration page and the Dealer Packet (PDF), please feel free to ask! *hugs* (2 Comments |Comment on this)

4:23 pm [ace_bearpaws]	2011 Furfright Photoshoot After three months of my day job doing it's best to kill me by sleep deprivation, and technical issues to overcome I have managed to process and upload the 1100+ pictures from the photoshoot! I apologize to all for the delay, sadly it was inevitable. Click on the fuzzy to get the photos For anyone who missed picking up the DVDs of their photos you can e-mail me at cmbrown[at]twcny[dot]rr[dot]com and I will upload the full size images to a place where you can download them. I hope you all enjoy! ~ Ace. Edit: Fixed the picture. Apparently LJ hates real HTML code. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

5:24 pm [kgraleopard]	Special Rates at Overflow Hotels A couple hotels are offering special rates to our FurFright attendees. The first is the Super 8 of Cromwell, located just a hop, skip, and a jump from our main hotel. They are offering special rates of 1 bed for $69.88/night and 2 beds $79.88/night. To reserve a room at these rates, call the hotel directly at 800-800-8000 (toll free) and mention you are with FurFright. The second is farther away (5 miles) but also offers free breakfast to their guests. The Best Western Plus in Berlin (Connecticut, not Germany!) is offering special rates of $85/night for their rooms. Just call them directly at 860-828-3000 and ask for the FurFright rates. If you have any questions, please look at our Overflow Hotel page (http://www.furfright.org/overflowhotel.html) for more information about local hotels, including the ones listed above.

12:49 am [kgraleopard]	Check your ID! You MUST have a current (non-expired) government issued photo ID to enter the convention. A list of acceptable forms of ID can be found here: http://www.furfright.org/attendee.html There are no exceptions, so do yourself a favor right now. Look at your driver's license, state ID, passport, or military ID and look at the expiration date. If it expires in September or October, mark your calendar and get it renewed WELL in advance (at LEAST 2 months) so you'll have it in plenty of time for the con. We do NOT accept learner's permits, college IDs, work IDs, or temporary IDs. We do NOT accept IDs which have expired. If you have ANY question about your ID, please feel free to ask! -- ( Commissioning tips ) (2 Comments |Comment on this)
