"Let's not jump into the deep end just yet. Does anyone out there have praise or criticism that is not related in any way to our theri policies?"
After The Changes, furry conventions find themselves facing tough logistical choices: How far can they go to welcome the therianthropes that many consider to be the cons' natural audience? As Furconium 1997 draws to a close, staff members and attendees look back at the compromises that were made to keep the event running smoothly.

Speaking from long experience, I can say that Furconium's logistical struggles aren't indicative of mismanagement -- even the best-run cons see staff members in a perpetual state of low-grade panic. Given the additional hurdles of The Changes, they turned in a truly heroic performance.
- Mike Snowfoot, convention director
Other Characters
- Toraneko, Palu, Metal, Typhoon, Skips, Sasha, Popcat, Philosiraptor
- Unspecified; early summer 1997
- Furconium: San Francisco Bay Area, CA, USA
- It's only natural that Typhoon is behind the attempt to organize a 'TheriCon'; Ad Battle also identifies him as a spokesman for a theri rights group.
- The dragon Metal, who Dean is misidentified as in Top Of The World, is the con's information director.
- Furconium is loosely based on two real conventions held in the San Francisco area: Further Confusion∞, held every January, and BayCon∞, held every May. Yes, before you ask, its third year was referred to as "cubic furconium"; who could pass up that pun? ;-)
