Went to pick up a rental car yesterday. As I was getting out of the cab, I noticed what looked like a ton of mascots in front of the hotel. Folks dressed in animal costumes.
Went inside and, more mascots. The entire lobby was full of them. Thought they were college students at some sort of mascot convention. Some looked a little old, but I thought they could be chaperones.
I get on the elevator to go downstairs to the rental office and I am on with about 5 mascots. This is very weird as I'm the only one not in a costume.
When I get to the rental office, I ask what's going on upstairs. Turns out I was at Further Confusion. From their website:
"Further Confusion is one of the world's largest anthropomorphic (or "furry") conventions. We will be returning for our 13th year, to the Fabulous Fairmont San José hotel for Further Confusion 2011, January 13th - 17th.
Further Confusion features eminent guests, educational panels, a dealer's room with comics, artwork, collectibles and clothing, an art show benefitting charitable organizations, gaming, nightly dances and world-class costuming!"
Now, I saw this on G4 once and thought it was a joke. I was standing in an elevator with folks dressed in their fetish costumes. Quite possibly the most WTF moment in my life.
I showered twice when I got home.
