Hi Andy.
Good article and never a truer word was spoken (re: always someone freakier than u out there ).
If I wanted to get the freaks talking, I’d indulge in that age-old classic of “controversy”…
Nothing gets folks more riled up and ready to rant than someone saying something controversial.
If you wanna get the X-file types fired up, say something nasty about Sculley or Mulder.
If you wanna get the Trekkies mad, rubbish their favourite character (I doubt Jim Kirk would REALLY object if people said nasty things about him )
and… if you wanna get republicans on fire, bash their fav candidate and/or point out all their short-comings!
I’d probably stop short of genuine “legal” slander, but I doubt there is a law that says you can’t say controversial things about characters in a tv show or movie, etc.
Enjoy

Actually, the term “Confurence” is a registered trademark for the Confurence Group. The generic term for furry conventions is just that: “furry conventions”. According to the front page of WikiFur (http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/WikiFur_Furry_Central), there are approximately 3 dozen furry conventions held each year.
Regarding the Vanity Fair article, what the author of that article, George Gurley, neglected to write about is that nearly every furry convention is a non-profit, many furry conventions hold charity auctions for a local animal-related charity (http://www.anthrocon.org/charity#background), and that conventions pump millions of dollars into local economies (http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/13632162/detail.html).
Here is a complete line of furry-related media coverage for your convenience: http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline_of_media_coverage

People love being experts, no matter how narrow the niche.
If I was trying to engage niche freaks to my Web site I’d definitely throw in some social networking tools and give them the ability to gain credits and rate each other.
Not a new idea, but certainly one that strikes at the heart of all of our inner-gurus and our need for recognition in our areas of expertise.
Even if that area is the mating habits of Furverts.

Hey, just because I’m an ‘April Fool Baby’ doesn’t mean I’m a Freak, Furvert or…!
I just enjoy being me! And doing my ‘Community Service’ – sjsar.org.
