ANTHROCON is the world's largest convention for those fascinated with anthropomorphics, which are humanlike animal characters such as have fascinated mankind since the dawn of human imagination. We are a collection of artists, animators, writers, costumers, puppeteers, and just everyday fans who enjoy cartoon animals and their kin. Membership is open to any and all who like to imagine what it would be like if animals could walk and talk as we do -- and no, you do not have to wear a costume to attend!

The Westin Convention Center hotel even flies the Anthrocon flag, and local businesses like Fernando’s attract Anthrocons with signs, t-shirts, and special bowls, says co-owner Al Budak.

Delano: “You actually serve the food in a dog dish?”

Budak: “Yes, not everyone, but if they ask for it.”

Delano: “How many bowls do you go through during an Anthrocon convention?”

Budak: “A thousand. A thousand, easy.”

Anthrocon is pretty impressive just for the fact that they are able to gather 2000+ internet weirdos in one place without anything overly bad happening.

For the last few years, the Hilton sustained more damage during RainFurrest than it did from every other event at the Hilton the entire rest of the year. This doesn’t even include damage to guest rooms or other incidental wear and tear like the elevators.
This year’s incidents include two plumber calls, a flooded bathroom that soaked the offices underneath, towels stuffed into a hot tub pump, and multiple petty vandalisms and thefts. A final damage report is still being compiled.
We had to send three people to the hospital and call the police twice.
By Sunday morning of con this year, the hotel was so exasperated that they were threatening to evict attendees for single noise complaints.

I only went to Antrocon once, with a girl I was dating at the time. She drew furry port for money. She made almost 3K in commissions. That's my story.
