Join the Fursuiter Division!

Join the Fursuiter Division of the FE army!

Our plans for fursuiters are still very much on track and proceeding on schedule! If you're a suiter at Furnal Equinox 2013, you can expect a great experience!

First of all, the Fursuit Games will be happening early on Saturday afternoon, with three new games to thrill the audience and challenge our suiters! You can get your slot in the games in advance by e-mailing fursuit@furnalequinox.com, and if there is still space available before the con, you can sign up in the fursuit lounge. We'll only have three randomly-picked teams of twelve (36 slots total), so make sure to get in quickly!

Then later on Saturday, come join us in Muskoka for the fursuit group photo! We'll gather together for what's anticipated to be our biggest group photo ever, and then we'll set out on the parade route. We've got a short march (at ease, recruits) planned through our con space, so anyone watching will have plenty of chances to catch a photo of their favourite suiter!

We also have plenty more programming to go out on the schedule in the next week, including a dance especially for fursuiters on Saturday night, and the first ever Fursuit Dance Competition. We can't wait to see your moves!

Need a few minutes to cool down after all this fun? Our headless lounge will be available when con space is open for you to enjoy some downtime and take a breather. We'll have cooling fans, drinks, and snacks available, so help yourself!

If you have any questions about fursuit programming, just send us an email at fursuit@furnalequinox.com.

Only A Few Days Left To Pre-Reg!

This is the last reminder for you to preregister for Furnal Equinox! Preregistration closes on our website on February 18, 2013!

Don’t forget about our various registration levels:
- Attendee: Gives you access to the convention for all three days
- Sponsor: An FE 2013 T-shirt designed by Rukis, access to the Wolf’s Den (including a Saturday night pizza party)
- Supersponsor: A luncheon with GoHs and other supersponsors, a custom-engraved dog tag, and your name in the conbook

Note that that we can't provide the custom-engraved dog tag or your name in the conbook if you register at the con. Sorry!

You'll be able to obtain all of these at the convention itself, as well as single day passes if you're only able to join us for one day. However, you can save $5 from the price at the door and go through Registration a lot quicker by preregistering.

It's not too late to join our forces! Register now before February 18!

Meet the GoHs: RedCoatCat

We know her by Tamara, or Meezer, but if you've seen her on FurAffinity, you know that her nom de guerre of RedCoatCat, and her artwork, is a perfect fit for our theme of Furries in Uniform!

In the second part of our "Meet Our GoHs" feature profiling our Guests of Honour for FE 2013, RedCoatCat talks about her experiences as a historical reenactor and as an artist.

Meet The GoHs: Rukis

Rukis is a relatively new addition to the furry fandom, getting her first experience of the fandom on a trip to Midwest FurFest in 2008. Since then, it's only gone upwards for her as an artist, with the release of a couple of successful comics and her ongoing graphic novel, Red Lantern.

In the first part of our "Meet Our GoHs" series profiling our Guests of Honour for FE 2013, Rukis sat down with us and talked about Canada, the themes of her artwork... and just how much she likes Furries in Uniform.

Final Call For Programming

The schedule is beginning to come together for the troops at Furnal Equinox 2013! This is the last chance to get your programming ideas in before submissions close this weekend.

We welcome offers to host events and entertainment, gaming session and tournaments, and especially panels! We run plenty of programming tracks each year that your panel can fit into — artwork, writing, fursuiting, general knowledge, or social gatherings of similar interests or species.

We'll make sure that your event has the best chance to succeed by publishing it on our website before the convention, as well as in the schedules and conbooks handed out at the convention and on our FEN displays. We'll also provide you with any resources that you need such as laptops, whiteboards, or projectors... just ask when you contact us!

You can submit your panel proposal by heading over to the Events page. Panel proposals must be received by February 10, 2013.
