| It's almost here! |
[20 May 2012|07:47pm] |
There's less than a week left to pre-register for What The Fur, so what are you waiting for? We've even decided to keep the Pre-Registration open until the 25th. Why? Because we like you all that much!
So pre-register now, because as of midnight on Friday the 25th of May, we close the door to pre-registering on the website, and you'll have to register at the door. We won't turn you away as we have plenty of room, but the price will be a little higher. So be sure to register now! There are also rooms left at the hotel! So long as you register at the hotel using the What The Fur code (which is, easily enough, What The Fur), you're guaranteed to get the convention room rate. We'll try and have everyone on the same floors, so if you haven't, book your room soon.
=====
Il reste moins d'une semaine pour vous préinscrire pour What The Fur, alors qu'attendez-vous? Nous avons décidé de garder la pré-inscription ouverte jusqu'au 25. Pourquoi? Parce-que nous vous aimons tous autant que ça!
Alors préinscrivez-vous maintenant, parce qu'après minuit le vendredi 25 mai, nous fermons les portes de la préinscription sur le site web, et vous devrez vous inscrire au guichet. Nous n'allons pas vous refuser puisque nous avons plein de place, mais le prix sera un peu plus haut. Alors assurez-vous de vous inscrire maintenant!
Il reste également des chambres à l'Hôtel! Tant que vous vous inscrivez à l'Hôtel, en utilisant le code What The Fur (qui est, facilement, What The Fur), Il vous est garanti d'avoir le tarif de convention pour la chambre. Nous allons tenter d'avoir tout le monde au même étage, alors si vous ne l'avez pas encore fait, réservez votre chambre prochainement.

The pledges also help you earn great incentive prizes.
Not in Montreal? No worries! The walk is being held in many cities across Canada. Join the walk locally! And, weather permitting, it's a great opportunity (and excuse) to go fursuiting!

| Don't forget to get a room for WTF! |
[11 Apr 2012|09:54am] |
As the convention creeps closer, some of us think of some important things. Things such as “Do I need to pack that sketchbook?”, “Did I set the alarm before laying down?” or “Do I need that extra pair of underwear?” But the sad reality is, most of us forget that sketchbook (and yes, even the underwear) now and then. One thing that also gets forgotten is making sure you have a place to stay for your visit.
For those of you coming in from out of town, the Hotel Espresso is still offering us a room rate of $110 CDN per night, but the deal isn’t without its end date. The deal ends on May 6th! So if you haven’t made your arrangements with the hotel for a room yet, get on it! The room rate is available for anyone staying at the hotel from May 31st to June 4th, so you can even spend an extra day checking out the sights! Just be sure to mention you’re going to What The Fur when you call the hotel to reserve your room (that would be -514-938-4611 or 1-877-468-3550). Sadly, getting the good rate on the rooms isn’t available online, but if you call, the people working at the main desk of the hotel know us and love us.
If you’re looking for someone to share a room with, we have our forums available on the website, and there is also our Livejournal or Dreamwidth groups for sending requests.
Just 8 more weeks until the creatures of the night come out of hiding!
Oh, and don’t forget the underwear.

| Furry in Toronto |
[06 Jul 2010|12:30am] |
::Waves:: been a while since I posted, but this time round I'm looking to connect with other fur's in the Toronto area and ideally with those who have experience in making Fursuits.
I'm trying to make for my husband his first suit, and well the body is easy enough the paws I think I have a good handle on as well as the tail, but the issue is building a Husky head. We really do not have the funds to have one commissioned thus I'm trying to make it on my own got plenty of urls and ideas but sighs having only ever seen in person a finished head I'm having issues getting my own head around on how to build one for him.
Part of me says make another paper mashie one, like I did for my own wolf head years ago but that one walked at an event I was at and I never saw it again. But I also know that paper mashe really isn't the best form to use for making a good head, from what I gather carving form is the best option (yes no?).
If anyone here is in the Toronto area and if willing to help, please leave me a message, even if its for more URLs or tutorials on how to its all greatly appreciated.
I am on the fursuit group here on LJ, but sighs its still a little confusing to me.
Take care everyone,
Nyx

| Kids Help Phone Walk needs you! (May 2nd) |
[14 Apr 2010|05:46pm] |
Hey there boys and girls!
Some of you might already be aware of this event that happens Canada-wide, which is the Kids Help Phone Walk! Basically a fund raising event for the Kids Help Phone non-profit organization, you can donate or ask for donations yourself to do it!
Also, I have been in contact with the organizers and they are A-OK with furries showing up in suit! So, what better excuse to go out in a fursuit than do a walk to help Canadian kids around the country? :)
I've created a team for us furs to join. It's called, and I know the name is VERY CLEVER: Canadian Furry Fandom Canadien.
Feel free to join a walk around where you live and let's all make this happen! It is not only for a good cause, but also great positive advertisement for the fandom at the same time as being a perfect excuse to go out suiting. :)

We’re now 7 weeks out from the convention, and we’d like to bring you all up to speed on a few items before time runs out. We’re working hard to make sure you can enjoy your time at What The Fur. How, you might ask? Go on. Ask!
Oh well, I’ll tell you anyways.
We’re visiting our local restaurants to find the best places to eat. Do you like sushi? Pub fare? Indian? Fast food? Or do you want to try some of Montreal’s famed poutine and smoked meat? We’re mapping them all out, so the only hard part for you will be deciding where to eat next! And to work up your appetites, we’ve got our Fursuit Parade, dancing until the wee hours of the morning, gaming, gaming and more gaming, Rock Band competitions, and a few extra surprises that even ninjas can’t hide from!
In this issue:
1) Save on Registration now!
2) Dealers room is filling up fast!
3) Hotel Status
4) Help the animals!
5) Art! You make it? We want it!

Eh bien! Nous sommes maintenant à 7 semaines de la convention et nous voudrions vous mettre au parfum le plus rapidement possible! Nous travaillons d’arrache-pied afin de nous assurer que vous vous amusiez comme des fous à What The Fur. Et qu’avons-nous préparé? Allez, demandez-le!
Ah, je vais vous le dire quand même.
Nous avons visité les restaurants locaux afin de trouver les meilleurs endroits pour vous remplir la panse. Vous aimez le sushi? Un bon vieux pub? Peut-être quelque chose d’exotique, dans le style indien? Ou quelque chose de normal et pas dut tout aventureux, dans le genre fast food? Ou vous voulez essayer quelques délices Montréalais tels que la poutine et la viande fumée? Nous nous assurons qu’une carte indiquant tout ces délicieux endroits afin que la partie la plus difficile sera de décider quoi manger (ou peut-être finir votre assiette, on ne sait jamais!)!
Et avec les activités planifiées, telles que la danse jusqu’aux petites heures du matin, la parade de Fursuit ainsi que des jeux, d’autres jeux, plus de jeux et encore des jeux, une compétition de Rock Band et quelques petites surprises fera en sorte que vous pouvez être certains d’avoir l’estomac dans les talons!

2) La salle des vendeurs : quelques places encore disponibles!

| Flatmate hunt |
[22 Dec 2009|04:38pm] |
Come one, come all, step right up and hear the amazing news. Acacia, has FINALLY found an apartment. Why would I share this exciting information you might ask? Because I want YOU (or alternatively one of your friends) to apply to be my new flatmate.
"I can't just blindly say I'm going to live with you...I dont' know anything about your apartment!"
And right you are! Well here is a little bit of a description. Drumroll please. You would be living on the main floor of a house in a 2 bedroom apartment with the wonderfully laid back Acacia. But we'll get on to fabulous descriptions of me later and first start off with the specifications of the house. In the entry way is a large hardwood floor living room with brickwork and a WORKING fireplace. Plenty of room for your furniture! If you continue to follow me you'll find that we do have a lovely VERY large kitchen. And by large? I mean space, counter space is limited, but that's what tables are for my good friend. Fridge, stove, PLENTY of cupboard space both above sink and appliances and underneath! Now what type of apartment would come without a nice 4 piece bathroom. Not much more needed to be said there. Now there are two bedrooms, of course one is larger than the other. Yours is the smaller of two, definitely room for sleeping quarters and a place for your privacy, dressers and what not. There is no closet, but fear not, I once heard a rumour that MONSTERS live there, it's like a gateway between dimensions...or that may have just been some silly childrens movie but WHY TAKE THE RISK?! There are a few other perks, if you walk through my bedroom (trust me I don't mind) we have access to our own private yard. It's closed in so only us and our friends can get in there, no neighbours or meddling panhandlers there (well apart from myself :P). So if you smoke you can definitely finish your cigarette business on the porch our out in the yard!
"This all sounds wonderfully fine and dandy, but Acacia, where can I wash my clothes, I don't want to be dirty ALL the time!"
What a good point you bring up, no one wants a stinky flatmate anyways! If you go through the yard, or around the house for a nice stroll, downstairs through the sidedoor is a nice LAUNDRY ROOM, with a coin operated washer and dryer. Now watch out, it is shared with the other tennants, so no funny business in your underpants. And it's only available from 10am-10pm with a nifty phone number you can call if something isn't quite right placed RIGHT ON THE WALL for you to find.
"But what if I have pets, or maybe even want pets?"
No fear! All critters are welcome in my home...well most. We haven't found out about dogs yet. And for crazies like you who might have ferrets etc? There are NO CARPETS! It's all hardwood and tile in the respective rooms.
"Wow! Thanks for being so informative. But I get it, with such a wonderful house come strict rules, no?
Absolutely not, no hidden contract fees or defects to my knowledge. Acacia is a fully certified and approved roommate. I'm laid back, I just ask no drama, and clean up after yourself please! You can have people over, you can smoke if you want (cigarettes were already touched on...you get my drift), drink, so on and so forth.
"Do you have any perks you can offer me, I mean there's plenty of other people who out there who can offer roommates!
Well, since I know that statement is a bunch of garbage, I'll humour you regardless. You know that telly thing? The box where you watch all your programmes? Doctor Who, House, reality tv, etc. The other box where you can browse the interwebs? Well! Those things cost money to use the services, cable, internet all that jazz? I get a discount of 50%! So those will be in the house, and if you want to partake in pitching in for using them, it'll be much cheaper than if you stay where you are now. Don't miss out on this deal today.
"Thanks Acacia! I'm really interested, but I don't think I can afford it...this sounds too good to be true."
That's crazy talk. I'm offering all this wonderful stuff for the low cost of $470 a month. Now our hydro is extra, but that's an extra $15 every other month. The only thing is there is NO parking in the area, so you'd have to try and find a permit somewhere in town if you do have a car!
Now a few last minute things. Did I mention that I:
a) Live in Toronto
b) It will be at Jarvis & Gerrard which is not only a stones throw from both Sherborne AND Yonge/Bloor Subway station BUT it's also near not one, not two, but THREE streetcar lines that all run 24 hours. No worries about getting home after those late night runs to the store or trips out to karaoke and all that nonsense. Dundas, College and Queen are all there for your use. :)
c) That I'm an awesome roommate and am looking forward to hearing your responses.
Sincerely,
Acacia
