Just got done watching the Closing Ceremonies from the link that I gave in the post above. More statistics will be posted in the next few days on the main Anthrocon website, but from what I heard, attendence this year was 7,308. Wow!  :o Total fursuiters in the Fursuit Parade was exactly 2,100.  :o One statistic I heard said that the 2100 fursuits amounted to a little over $3 million worth.  :o Not sure how true that is, but that's what I heard in the video. Total charity money raised for the Pittsburgh Zoo was $30,300+.

Hmmm. At the rate Anthrocon attendence grows, I would not be surprised if they reach 10,000 in 5 years or less.  :o

It is hoped that everyone enjoys themselves and has a safe trip home.
"The coyote is a living, breathing allegory of Want. He is always hungry. He is always poor, out of luck, and friendless. The meanest creatures despise him. And even the fleas would dessert him for a velocipide."~Mark Twain

Probably the most EPIC fursuit picture ever.



Don't know who took it. Got of off of Anthrocon's Twitter.
It's been said that rats can gain access to your home by climbing up threw your toilet. I prefer to use the front door.
