Nope, never been to one.
I've been to a few anime/comic cons, and there are always furries at those. I tend to have the most respect for furries at the summer cons. I try to compliment their fursuits and remind them to stay hydrated. If the water wasn't so expensive, I'd offer them water, but fortunately a good summer con will have hydration stations, and taking any beverage from a stranger isn't a great idea. Water bottles should be safe if they're sealed, but a crafty person can re-seal them with a bit of care. Still, the thought is there.
Can't really say I'm not a furry anymore since I cosplay the guy in my profile pic (Tom Nook from Animal Crossing). But I don't have a full fursuit, I just have ears, a tail, and the outfit. (And a Bells bag my wife crocheted.) Thinking about doing a mask, bonus if it hides my "human" ears. Even so, it won't be full furry — those folks deserve all the credit.
You got it kinda wrong about what you consider a furry. A furry isn't someone with a fursuit, in fact a majority of the fandom doesn't have a fursuit. You also don't need to have a fursona to be a furry. What determines if you are a furry or not is the answer to "Do you like anthropomorphic art?" and this tells wether or not you are a furry.
Perhaps I misunderstood. I do appreciate the culture and community and what it represents.
Interesting data about furries. I didn't have time to read all of it, but I skimmed it.
For me the therm Furry is not just about having a furrsuit, but being a member of the general community (so liking related fandoms, liking the art, cosplaying, ...).
Honestly I don't even have a fursona myself, but still consider myself as a Furry and a part of this community.
Interesting.
I don't fully understand the term fursona, but I am familiar with it. When I'm cosplaying, I act like the character, including speaking in chirps that mimic language. I try to act as the character does.
I'm not ready to adopt the label "Furry," but I absolutely do appreciate the community. I'm happy as a spectator.
My guy I think it's time for you to cross de nile river. We don't all have suits and you have more of a costume than I do.
