You ever just stop and wonder why you became a furry? Your childhood cartoons may be the reason! In this panel, Fiver Bunny will analyze the history of animation and cartoons while explaining how it manages to somehow tie into the development of many furries and how it continues to shape the lives of many in the fandom!
Interested in trains, buses, and walkable/bike-able communities? Come meet other transit-oriented furry urbanists and learn about urbanism, convincing urbanism skeptics, and spatial inequality in the furry fandom. Afterwards, feel free to join us on a trip on the Chicago L train to Union Station.
You are already aware of the history of the furry fandom, but when, how and why did furries get to be SO QUEER? In this talk, Arrkay from the award-winning video series "Culturally F'd" takes a second look into the queer origins of the furry fandom. Our journey takes us through homophobia fueled flame wars, a convention described as a "pride parade on acid", all the way to litterboxes in classrooms. Together we'll peer into the past of queer and trans furry artists, marches, frolics and raves, and even some pre-fandom stuff just for fun.

Trapped in a Musical is a fully improvised, hour long musical. Welcome to our little town. It’s a mostly ordinary town, filled with mostly ordinary critters. But every so often, one of our townspeople finds themselves TRAPPED IN A MUSICAL! They never know when it’s coming, because it’s up to YOU, our audience. Every performance you’ll pick the main character, you’ll give us the plot points, the finer details, and on the spot we’ll create a 60-minute musical about this seemingly ordinary townsperson. They’ll only be as ordinary as you make them, but we guarantee you’ll laugh as we improvise songs, dances and mayhem. So welcome to our little town! Stay a while.
Writing can be very rewarding, but it takes time and discipline. How often have you heard someone say they can't find the time to write, or can't get their mind working in the right direction? As with any worthwhile goal, there are obstacles to be overcome and processes to be learned. In this panel we talk about how writers write, and the writer's lifestyle.
Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder, mystery, lies, logic, deduction, and deception for five-to-twenty courageous players and one devious storyteller. A social game played in person, seated in a circle, each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village. During a hellish thunderstorm, a scream echoes through the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the beloved local storyteller has been murdered, their body hanging limp from the clocktower. As blood drips onto the cobblestones below, a realisation slowly dawns… a demon has been unleashed, killing by night and taking on human form by day. Can good find the demon in time? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful town?

Have you ever felt like being around others is awkward because you have to 'play a role' that isn't you? Have you ever felt like some part(s) of you that are longing to be expressed, but can't safely be shown to others? Have you felt 'wrong' or 'broken' in your body, identity, or sense of self? This is a panel about finding authenticity. It will discuss ways to do this, through several lenses common in the fandom, such as gender, neurodivergence, and disability. It is hoped that this panel will spark a discussion about finding acceptance from both others and oneself, and inspire us to be better at both seeking support and providing it for others. Through this, it is hoped that we can do better as a fandom, both for all the diverse people within it and for ourselves.

Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder, mystery, lies, logic, deduction, and deception for five-to-twenty courageous players and one devious storyteller. A social game played in person, seated in a circle, each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village. During a hellish thunderstorm, a scream echoes through the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the beloved local storyteller has been murdered, their body hanging limp from the clocktower. As blood drips onto the cobblestones below, a realisation slowly dawns… a demon has been unleashed, killing by night and taking on human form by day. Can good find the demon in time? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful town?

This panel is a survey of mythology surrounding "mermaids" and mermaid-like creatures. Half human, half fish, these beings exist between worlds and play a variety of roles in the stories in which they appear. Where and when did the concept of a "mermaid" arise, and how has it changed over the centuries? Join us as we discuss the tropes and how mermaids (and their close cousins) have appeared in literature, pop culture, and folklore.

In this panel, we'll explore the core elements of storytelling by breaking down the simple yet powerful formula: "Character + Plot = Story." We'll discuss how well-crafted characters drive the action and emotional depth of a narrative, while a strong plot provides the structure and pacing that keeps audiences engaged.

Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder, mystery, lies, logic, deduction, and deception for five-to-twenty courageous players and one devious storyteller. A social game played in person, seated in a circle, each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village. During a hellish thunderstorm, a scream echoes through the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the beloved local storyteller has been murdered, their body hanging limp from the clocktower. As blood drips onto the cobblestones below, a realisation slowly dawns… a demon has been unleashed, killing by night and taking on human form by day. Can good find the demon in time? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful town?

Please ask before discussing such topics with your newfound scrubs and thugs. This panel is for those 18 years of age and older; ID required.

Come join us for a screening of "those" cartoons - you know the ones. The ones that made you uncomfortable as a child. The Looney Tunes that stirred up uncanny desires you'd never felt before, and gave you feelings that didn’t have a name. A loveless lovebird wants desperately to be swallowed whole by a voracious puddy tat. A potion is consumed, and a tiny mouse begins expanding his horizons. There are wolves in sheep’s clothing, bunnies beyond binaries, and buzzards under the thrall of mesmerizing emanations. Do you remember the one where death was the happy ending? Do you remember when existential fear first felt warm? Tonight, the glow of the TV will be our full moon, as we unwind tight coils of 16mm film and VHS tape to unleash lost memories of transformative Saturday mornings.
