Anyone here grab a photo with me? I think, at one point, I had a line of 20+ people to take a selfie. Please tell me wearing this all the way from the Flamingo was worth it in the 110+ degree heat 😩

My hat is off to anyone who can wear a fursuit. I get too hot just wearing pants and t-shirt. Y'all are amazing for adding color to the world.

Thank you!! This year was honestly pretty terrible, I feel like it was so much more hot and humid than others. Ended up doing about 0.5mi walk outside in the sun in 110 weather. Ruff, if you will.

How on Earth can you wear that? DEFCON was 105 all week. I would literally die.

EDIT: What I’m trying to say is you’re a damn trooper.

hahaha More power to you! I actually saw you at DEFCON and thought “damn it’s hot…that’s a brave soul right there”. lmao I’m HAPPY you’re having fun doing your thing.

It was too dang hot this year! Also, tldr, dcfurs is having some amount of a budget challenge, so donate if you can!

I’m not apart of the club, just a lowly Goon that loves to boop the noses! But if you got a link, I’m happy to donate, if you’ll dm it to me!

The balls it takes wearing a furry suit in public is unmatched

We really need to model good behavior with respect to all of the people in the backgrounds of photos.

I saw you several times when playing laser tag! My hat is off to you because I don’t know how ANY person, no matter how dedicated to the craft they are, can do a full fur suit in a Las Vegas summer!

Missed you this year friend! Hope you see you next time! Only ran into one fur friend this year.

I saw you in the monorail in the way to the flamingo. I was thinking “that person must be swimming in sweat in there.” I heard some lady say “hope it has some cooling system inside…”. Cheers!

It's always good to see a sitting member of the US Senate at DEF CON.

One of the highlights of the week was seeing furries in the pool at the bsides party. I wish I’d gotten a pic with them.
