Not everyone has the constitution to stick through things until they have an opportunity to slip out unnoticed. I had to run in the middle of one event, getting out before I passed out >.<

I agree. You need your head off, you need it off. I nearly had to take mine off during the photoshoot, but managed to get to headless, since it was so close...

Have not done this before, but I think it worked very well. Good directions for posing etc. Room was not the most suited for the photoshoot, a bit small, I guess, but other than that, all great! Can't wait to see panduckpics!

1. This is more of problem with congoers then staff, but I noticed a fair amount of people walking around the con space with their fursuit heads off. I understand this year was particulerly warm, but I've never liked seeing headless furs (ruins the magic and such) I wonder if perhaps the reason for doing this was the distance of the fursuit lounge? either way if people could take into consideration those of us that get distressed by missing heads more, I think some people would be happier.

I think this is more up to the fursuiter than any other. I for one, do not want to be seen without my head, therefor my comment about the fursuit parade start-room being a "headless, no photo area". I do, however, do LOTS of workout to enable me to deal with the heat in the suit. I can very well understand some suiters needing to take their head off more frequently, and some really do not care if they are seen without the head on. It would be rather hard to set this as a rule or guideline. One can give the general advice "fursuit magic is best kept with head on!", but I think that at a furry con, you will have to expect to see headless suits.

Wow you guys have really excelled yourselves this year, the food was great the venue was bigger and better than before, the events were excellent, well done each and every one of you. this year is for me by far the best confuzzled ever.

Confuzzled was a great con in so many ways! I do have to disagree with the food being great though, but that's not the fault of the Confuzzled staff. However, the BBQ could have been done differently. The line was just TOO DANG LONG and food was not very good. Chicken was so dry it could not be eaten. An idea could be to sell tickets for different times, so that not everyone had to line up at the same time. The indian food in the buffet was probably the worst indian food I have ever had.

The fursuit group photo did not go well, but I assume that is something that you are aware of already. Being in suit having NO clue where to go, and noone who could tell us really where we needed to be, sent up to 4th floor and down again to ground, I was about to faint, and had to go take my suit off when the pic was finally taken. Ohwell. One thing I also would like changed in regards to the parade; the room where we all meet up before the parade should be a HEADLESS ROOM. This means, NO PHOTOS there! We stand in suit for 30 mins waiting for parade to start, the warmest suits need their heads off for this moment, and we should be able to do that without worrying about being filmed or photographed.

Also, one thing that fortunately did not bother us, but I heard others complaining about, was loud room parties till early morning. People want to enjoy the stuff at the con, and some, like suiters and dealers, HAVE to get a good nights sleep. It should be QUIET in the rooms from 2am.

But, this was a lot of negativity, but in the larger picture it matters little. I want to clarify that this con was a REALLY great experience, we had so much fun, and I loved bouncing around in my panduck-griffin suit.

The hotel layout was PERFECT for suiting, so easy to find our way around even with bad vision. The hotel staff was (well, apart from the tweets) very friendly. I am almost hoping Confuzzled NEVER grows out of this hotel. Make it too big for this hotel, and the charm of the meet will go away. Once a con gets huge, it is not the same feel anymore. I hope Confuzzled NEVER grows over 1000 people. Is better to turn people down than to get that big. This was, in so many ways, the perfect con!

thx!
