Furry Connection North 2009 Reminder
Hey furs, Gir Tygrin here for Furry Connection North!
Got some leftover holiday money in your pocket and don't know how to spend it? Come join us for our second year! We'll be taking over the Novi Sheraton in Novi Michigan from April 24th until April 26th. Rooms are only $92 a night for up to quad occupancy.
Our theme for 2009 is Prohibition, and our Guest of Honor will be the very talented Tracy Butler. You might know her from Lackadaisy Cats.
Our goal is to throw the best party we can for all of our attendees. In our first year we had an astounding attendance of 372! But we need your help to get even bigger and better. We feature dances all three nights with an audio system from Mithril Technologies, renowned throughout the anime community for their foundation-rattling equipment. Bypassing strobes and disco balls, our entire dance floor is illuminated with laser light. Don't believe me? Check this pic out!
Attending memberships are only $25 if you pre-register by March 20th. Otherwise they'll be $30 at the door. Sponsorships are $50 in advance and $60 at the door, while our new SuperSponsorship tier is $120.
All members will have access to general con space and all of the events contained within. That includes the dances of course, dealer's room, artist's alley, our fun and informative panels, performances from Uncle Kage and 2 the Ranting Gryphon, video game and tabletop gaming rooms, and a live recording of the Method1 Podcast.
Sponsors and SuperSponsors will have access to our Speakeasy Sponsor Suite, which will feature hot foods, cold foods, snacks, candy, ice cream, slushes, pop, and the wonderful company of your fellow sponsors and super sponsors. If you want a quick meal without needing to leave the con space, you'd be crazy not to upgrade!
True to our theme of Prohibition, the Speakeasy is also the hiding place of beer on tap for sponsors 21 or older. And not just any beer, we're talking Michigan microbrew kegs! Last year we had two varieties from Bell's Brewery. The Oberon will be making a come back for our second edition, but the other keg is still to be decided.
In addition to Speakeasy access, sponsors get special gifts in their con bag. Last year we gave out a custom deck of playing cards and a brick of ramen noodles. This year... well, you'll have to pay to find out!
Our new SuperSponsor tier gets the same gifts as the Sponsors, more gifts on top of that, a catered luncheon with exclusive entertainment, priority event seating, and their choice of a con shirt or hat! That's right, FCN is going to be the first fur con (to our knowledge) with our own hats. No low end silkscreen & mesh job either, these will be custom embroidered by the same company that the NCAA & NHL use.
So please, check out our site at http://www.furryconnect.com/. Or just skip right to registration through this link. Then book your room and we'll see you there!
