To coincide with #Worldcon we are officially debuting our #WrathOfCon comic as a webcomic and printed comic. Learn the Story of Fandom's Con Quest and the kids who started modern fandom and conventions. Thanks to those who supported the preview version!

As the propeller beanie was invented by a con attendee as a symbol of cons and fandom I was pleased to see furries wearing propeller hats at @AnthroSocal where @JunoandMaxx were guests.

Very awesome to see our friend John Hertz - super fan, LASFS member, and Big Heart Award winner, wearing an authentic Ray Nelson made propeller beanie! We met John last year at Worldcon and he made us feel welcomed, explain old fan history to us, and later sent us a nice letter.

All the Magfest discourse and gatekeeping is wild.

I’m not a katsu “person” jumping ship (I’ve gone one time lol)

I’m just a girly who was told Mag is awesome and to try to go during my bday weekend 🥹👉👈 I just love video game music and am a frequent vg orchestra attendee 🫣

Hotel squatters, botters, and scalpers did this to magfest.

Selling out in 6 hours is very unusual. MAGFest has not announced any concerts or special programming. So this is very suspect.

So soon after Worldcon and we are back in southern California at @AnthroSocal hosting our 90 Years of Cons panel again! From the First Convention in Philadelphia 1936 to all the cons today, join us at 7:30-8:30 pm tonight in Panel 1!

[Game Saru @BLFC @ SinCityAnime @na_gamesaru]

Setup mostly done for @AnthroSocal, cya all tomorrow!

I guess I missed my couple hour window to get @MAGFest tickets because I was too busy at a close family members funeral. This will be the first time in 13 years I will not be able to attend. If this truly is due to scalpers then this is incredibly disappointing and disheartening

Page from my Wrath of Con comic I released this last Worldcon depicting the Scienceers (arguably the first science fiction fantasy fan club) singing as they visit Scienceers Rock.

MFF is infamous for its hotel lottery, we never won in our decade of applying either.

Congrats @FurryMigration on 3.8k attendees! We will need to bring our 90 Years of Con Room Parties Room Party to a future event.

Delighted Ken Fletcher was given a copy of my Wrath of Con comic and dropped by to chat about fan history. Co-founders of the APA Vootie, considered one of the many origin points of furry fandom. Funny the week before at Worldcon saw he was one of the Rotsler Award winners.

[Convention History 🪑 🏳️‍🌈 @ConHistory]

I thought this conversation in the Worldcon chat was funny.

Hey that's me!

Thanks to all @laworldcon attendees who came to my 90 Years of Cons history party last night in GoH Geri Sullivan's suite. We started with serving drinks made by First Fandom and ended the night with the brony "Where the Magic Happens" a perfect summary of the 90 years of cons.

[Choco Bash ❂ @ World Fantasy @TransformARTive]

I like that the Hugo Awards are basically being opened by two furries. Toastmaster Ursula Vernon, Ursa Major Award winning creator of Digger and GoH of many furry cons, and Fuzzy the Channel Island Fox, mascot of @laworldcon 🐾🦊 #Worldcon #LAConV #HugoAward #Fursuit

The Monday Frazzled Fox Filk circle at @laworldcon is still going strong tonight. Our friend Rod O'Riley, cofounder of the Prancing Skiltaire and ConFurence, singing a little tune now. #filk #Worldcon
