ConFuzzled 2012 Dealer Showcase 1With the convention now looming on the horizon, it’s time for us busy workers of the Commerce department to start highlighting some of the fantastic creative types you’ll be able to buy from in our lovely Dealers Den!
The Dealers den is an important part of the convention, and allows you a fantastic opportunity to buy gifts for yourself and others. Whether it’s purchasing furry art, getting a commission or two of your character / persona, or snapping up some ConFuzzled memorabilia, the Den is the place to go for all your shopping needs!
The best news is that with our new venue offering us more space, we’ve got even MORE dealers in the den this year, and that means that even if you’ve been coming to ConFuzzled since the beginning, there are bound to be some new dealers that you’ve not seen in the den before!
This year we’ve asked our Dealers to write their own promotional material for us to include, so in most cases what you see below are their own words on what you can find on their tables this year.
This time around we’re highlighting our Guest of Honour, FunLaser, FarukuCostumes, and SpiritRaptor! Also, don’t forget to read about our Sponsors-only early opening AND the
ConFuzzled SALE!!Colson GraingerOur guest of honour is of course the talented Colson - singer, pianist, musical performer, we’re sure he’ll keep you entertained. From our website:
Don’t be alarmed if you find yourself tapping your feet and swaying when the rock and pop themes begin to play from Colson’s guitar, keyboard or voice as this talented performer has two albums to his name, he’s performed live at Feral! 2010 and Midwest FurFest 2011, and his videos have had over a million views on YouTube.
Expect to see and hear him at the many musical events we’ll be running this year including the Music Jam and our other musical workshops.
You’ll also see more of him in the Den, where he’ll be joined by Fox Amoore who works closely with Colson producing backing music for his songs and other musical work.
If you’d like to take Colson’s sound home with you (and why wouldn’t you?), then head over to their table armed with cash!

Along with our usual items of DogTags, Pet/Collar Tags, BadgeTags and LED goodies. We'll also be bringing along a few special items that will only be available in the run up to, and at the con. These special items include: Clapperboards (both prop size and badges) and Filmstrip LED badges to fit the movie theme and Wooden DogTags and pegs to fit the 5th
anniversary material theme.
Once again we'll be supplying every attendee with a DogTag and you can get your name on the reverse for £1. We'll also be able to engrave your drinking vessel. We are also working with a few other artists/dealers to bring some other unique and shiny objects to you ^_^
Such as LED collars and lasered leather keyrings with Spiritraptor, Hand drawn Filmstrip badges with Panthras and a few secret items with Shirik. We'll also be providing a few things for auction so keep your eyes peeled.
This year we'll be running a slot based system. As such we'll be opening for pre-orders the month or so before the Con so you can buy the item you want and collect at the Con ^_^ Keep your eyes on
http://furry.funlaser.co.uk for more information. We'll also announce on UKfur, CF forums and our FA page
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/funlaser/ when we open for pre-orders.
Will catch you all at the movies.”
