No problem--actually on the messageboard for our convention, someone asked to see some "press" on the Con, and when I typed in "Anthrocon Philadelphia Inquirer" into the search, your FR post came up. I was at the 2002 Con and was told the article would be coming out. I remember buying the paper and reading the article (I still have it) just down the street at the IHOP on Rt. 1 in Bala Cynywd.
We furries have gotten a bad rep. due to things like an episode of CSI, and MTV profile of us, and an article in Vanity Fair. yes, there are some who get into this for erotic reasons but most furries are a bit more wholesome than that! One example is Guy Gilchrist, creator of "Mudpie" and current artist of "Nancy". He's very moral and religious and he was our guest of honor a couple years ago. Good wholesome fun!
I am, as I said, a furry--and a longtime FReeper. Sad to hear of the death of the freeper in the thread, etc. Nope, I wasn't offended, but wanted to tell FReepers a bit more about furry! thanks
