Ember's vulgarity laced party orientated con advice

[IrishLion]

As an addendum: no starting drama with furs you used to know. :D

I say this because I'm going to be at Vancoufur and there are quite a few furs who know me but haven't seen me in quite a long time.

I'm even responsible for at least one of the current BC Furries for being active...

SUSPENSE!!!!!

[Sairys]

*chuckles* just love the way you were direct with people about con advice. colorful as well

[Uno]

I gotta say out of the two versions, THIS one is my favorite :p Awesome advice, all cons should post this shit. :birdy:

[Digipig]

I feel like any fur party could benefit from this advice.

[Apoxon]

sage advice, sir.

[Tef]

Ember, it seems as though Vince of Mongrels could be your friend. :P

[Wereman]

You know, I was wondering whether the profane language could backfire and first timers not to take these statemented seriously. Yet this really gets to the point, some passages have just the needed pint of sarcasm (per se) meaning "don't mess with these rules".

Also glad someone brought up the 6-2-1 rule. Very first thing you should learn about a con.

[Renwaldo]

Heh, I wish I'd followed all this advice after my first con.

[Phantom Wolf]

Groovy~
When is Vancoufur usually?

[xanitos]

XD I love all this profanity laced advice! I will be sure to give it to people who plan on attending their first cons from now on :birdy:

I'm kinda exempt from the getting drunk one xD
I kinda need a lot to get drunk... when I turned 19 I had 2 pints, 5 shots, 2 cocktails, 1 pitcher of beer, and 3 double Jack and Cokes... It's like reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
"The next day he drank 2 pints, 5 shots, 2 cocktails, 1 pitcher of beer, and 3 double Jack and Cokes. In the morning he had a hangover!"

Anywho, I didn't get too drunk or have a hangover after drinking that much, though I had a lot of fun XD
0___0 It takes me all that to get buzzed... I think I might be an Elf from The Lord Of The Rings...

I'm not even bragging either T~T Being a lightweight means you can get drunk on a six pack, being like me means you have to save up for a while before even attempting to get drunk xD Seriously, it sucks to be unable to enjoy alcohol the same way as everyone else.

3) Fucking hell, drugs are bad okay? But if you really decide to do them don't be super fucked up in public and try to keep it on a down low. You are creating a very fucking awkward situation for the con staff and if you have a medical emergency you might bring some serious bad press to the con.

4) Bring a pair of swim shorts. There's a heated pool.... Fuck.

</Snip>

Do not disobey #3 and then forget the shorts mentioned in #4 when you want to go for a dip in the pool, higher than the Pope. I spent my Saturday night at Rainfurrest 2013 in con-ops puzzling over what the fuck just happened with con-sec, after being jumped onto, half drowned and clawed at in the hotel pool by a buck-naked dude who was high as fuck on goodness only knows what. No joke.

Seriously. Can't emphasize it enough. Rule 3. Fucking obey rule #3.

[Selkit]

Also, just noticed how necro'd this thread is. Oh well. Still bloody good advice. Follow this list for Rainfurrest if you're going, and add rule 11: Traveler's insurance is the difference between $30 for a weekend insured against major incidents, and $3,000 for a busted leg on the dancefloor. Obamacare does not apply to Canadians, and shockingly, not every nation bothers with conveniences like subsidized health-care.
