We are happy to announce the theme for Further Confusion 2022
Furcon 2k Millennium Edition, the 2000's!
Retro memes, old internet, boy bands and electronica, historical furry art, old commercials games and toys. What comes to your mind when you think of the millennium?
The Further Confusion Team is deeply saddened at the passing of a founder of the furry fandom, Mark "Sy Sable" Merlino. We thank them for all of the work they performed in their life to lay the foundation for the furry community today.
Please see the below statement:
Our venue has asked us to issue this survey to help them understand how COVID concerns are affecting our attendees. Understanding the extent to which plans are impacted are crucial to decide our next steps. Please answer honestly. Answers are anonymous.
Further confusion is aware of the current situation with regards the Omicron variant of COVID-19.
We’re currently communicating with our staff, the venue, and the City of San Jose to assess our options and will put out a more comprehensive statement in the near future.
To our attendees and supporters. We hear you. We understand how time sensitive this situation is. Due to the unfortunate timing of this Holiday season, gathering more information has been challenging. However, at this time, we are planning to hold the event on the original dates.
Excited to announce
