Title: Convention Resources Guide.
Post by: Kobuk on June 30, 2009, 09:33:31 am
Welcome to the new “Convention Resources” thread listing links and other invaluable resources for when you’re looking for a furry con to go to, or you just want to read and catch up on all the latest pics and convention reports.

What follows is a sampling of convention websites, LJ (Livejournal) communities, Photo hosting sites, etc.  If I’ve forgotten a particular site, then please let me know and I’ll add it in. If a site is down or unavailable, it could just be temporary due to maintenance or a server issue.  

And finally, don’t forget to post your con reports and pics here at Furtopia too! We want to hear from you and see all the fun times you had, so please share! Thanks.  :D
