How did we do? Our #1 means of improving our convention is to listen our attendees letting us know what went over great and what didn't! We urge you to attend our Scritch 'n Bitch panel in Mimosa at 5:30p and let us know your thoughts!

Conventions live or die on their volunteers, and we're no different! Stop on by if you're interested in lending a helping paw; anyone who works 12 or more hours through the convention gets FREE attendance next year, and helping during load-out or load-in counts as double time!

A quick heads-up to all of our attendees: Measles has made a comeback! While cases are currently mostly limited to West Texas, we encourage caution; we can't require masks, but we can sure recommend them! Find out how to protect yourself in the link in the replies!

We could still use a few more paws on deck to make our first year amazing! In particular, we could use a little extra help on our registration team, we can always use a little more security, and a panel support position has opened up! Link in the replies!

New lights aquired. 5 settings, two arms that can be adjusted, adjustable gooseneck, and charges via USB C. I'll be premiering them at @lonestarfurcon.bsky.social. #conventions

My sticker books restock is here! I'll have them available next at @lonestarfurcon.bsky.social (they come with a sticker).

Finally returning to the *real* decks 💙 Get ready for a 1 hour live bass house + bangers DJ set from yours truly at @lonestarfurcon.bsky.social in Austin soon! 🐱 poster by @blckfldr.bsky.social :)
