Hiiii!
I know you!
Aaaah!
Here we are at Anthrocon again!
Having a good time!
Hi Vex!
That's a matter of oppinion!
Rahr!
Just got here!
The con hasn't even started.
It's Wednesday night,
people are coming in, it's getting busy,
and... what can I say?
We'll have a great time
here at Anthrocon 2016!
He's on the clock now!
You're here for us!
There's a camera in my face,
a very impudent looking camera,
You know what we're doing with impudent looking cameras?
We take them,
We show them exactly...
watch that!
Raaahhrrr rarr!
Rrrrrraahrrrr....
What's wrong with that?
Fuck off!
Finally someone gave me a beer!
Oh my god, I love Tillikum!
He's like my
most boyfriendest non-boyfriend ever!
You know it was Tillikum who
started the
Jellybean thing a few years
back?
I don't like Tillikum!
What are you staring at?
You!
It's the blue!
Stay fabulous!
Faaabulous!
Waaaahhhhh!
Camera!
Rrrraahrrr!
Anthrocon 2016!
My tenth Anthrocon!
And the twentieth Anthrocon!
What number Anthrocon is this for you?
Ahhm, probably the...
Oh, sorry!
I think this is probably my tenth.
Wow!
I've been here a long time.
Oh my gosh!
Yuck! So yeah, I've been here for a million
years.
We've all been here for a million years.
Zootopia just came out,
they do all the thing that we've been doing
for a million years, I don't know why Anthrocon does not
collect royalties from Zootopia.
Because we've already been here
doing the same thing in Pittsburgh for
a million years. Literally.
Something I've got to say to every camera I see:
Every single camera:
Hi camera, I see!
Do you see this camera?
I see the...
seas....
We see...
I'm right in the middle of all this fluff!
This is so cool!
I loo... aaawww!
If you will notice...
direct your attention to my glasses.
These glasses?
These are not my glasses.
Did you notice that?
This is not my suit!
Did you notice that?
Do you know where my suit is?
My suit is...
right now in Zürich, Switzerland
Thank you, United fucking Airlines!
Just wanted to say that.
Swiss bank account, this guy's a baller!
My suit just wanted to take a vacation
on the fucking Alps somewhere.
And now it's chilling out there along with
my script and my glasses, going
"Yeah, let's see how you get along without us!"
Well, I'm trying!
Oh man....
It's happened!
Whoohoho!
Oh gawd!
I'm taking a survey right now!
[mumbles]
This one doesn't work well for directing traffic.
Like, if I set this leg out, nothing happens.
When I stick Paul out,
I get a ride so fast!
Wait, that doesn't sound right!
There's BBF,
He ignored me when I walked by,
I said "Hey BBF" and he didn't recognize me.
Because if the hat, right?
It's totally the hat.
Have I broken it yet?
Whaddup BBF,
how's it going?
Whaddup buddy!
What's going on, how you doin?
Very good, how about you?
I love schnauzenbopping your camera!
Boop! Aaah!
Best camera ever!
Raaaaahhhr!
My nooooooose!
I have a duck!
Quack!
Swallow it!
Zarkey!
I like your....
doughtnut!
I like you!
Stop touching my doughnut!
Don't stick your finger in his doughnut.
Yeah, you don't know where it's been.
Hello!
Camera watching camera!
At Anthrocon, people are running around
dressed as animals!
There are wolces, cats, mice,
elephants, all the animals
that usually are in zoos only.
We'll show you what this looks like after the break!
Hey, who has the Yuengling?
Can I buy one? I really want a Yuengling.
If there are any left...
I brought my own band
for dinner.
Other people bring bluetooth speakers!
Exactly. This is so much better!
Here we are in
Pittsburgh. Now...
Right now,
Smelling furries.
I'm smelling them already.
I'm sure this down does not
smell like this normally. I'd like
to go around and interview
some native Pittsburghians
to find out what this town smells like
when thre's not furries, because
I'm very curious, right now
aah, I can smell the stink.
I can smell the furries.
But you know what?
That stink is home for me.
I lived in it forever and I
it just feels cozy.
There you go, come on, you know you want
to do it. Come on. What?
What's the problem?
You afraid of me or something?
Come on! Do it!
Just do it already!
You don't have the guts!
You don't have the guts to do it!
That's what I thought!
I'm warning you!
Oh!
Coopertom!
Can I have a hug?
Yes!
He is horrible,
I tried to send him loads of messages
but he doesn't answer me.
Maybe his
tweets are
too high pitched
for me to hear because
you're a bat!
I don't hear them, they're like radar!
They bounce off of my head
and you know where I am but
What are you doing? What?
Look at all this stuff going on over here!
No. None of this!
Cause you don't have the guts!
Yeah, that's right!
Now I have sweat in my eyes!
Ahah, dieing!
What do you want from me?
What!
You're wasting....
you're recording, are you?
Or are you just like "Aaahh... just wanna
tire him out!
So I can boop him in the nose later!"
That's your scheme!
Poor BBF, he's got to cut that out!
Come on!
That's not very polite, that's too American for you guys!
I'm not American, I'm Russian!
Russian?
Where are you rushing off to?
Oh my god, that's a bright light!
Hi!
Nobody will pick me up!
I haven't been your only one, maybe the sweetest one, if not the dearest one
the kind of place you might want to spend a couple of decades
I hear you've been coming round here some 20 years
trying to get wrapped up in my black and gold
No, you've never cared if people stopped and stared
cause I'll be there
when you've got nowhere
You got a bridge to my heart
for now and always
I'll be your city!
Why don't we take a walk on down to the strip?
stick some french fries and a fried egg on a sandwich.
Not too far, we're just a few blocks away
from the DLCC
Me and my three sisters
we're just making sure
that you can find me
Late at night you can treat me right
and we're still in sight
of the corner light
as we run along Liberty Ave,
Ooooohhhhh!
I'll be your city!
And when four days have come and gone
you're here, it happened, it's done.
You better remember we'll be right here,
so don't you go looking for another one
'Cause I'm your city!
The fireworks
gonna run all night
here at Anthrocon
I can hold you tight
Anthrocon, thank you!
I've been wanting to wear this for months.
I took some notes here.
First off:
Welcome to Anthrocon 2016,
the 20th Anthrocon
Back here for our eleventh year
at the magnificent city of Pittsburgh
which has embraced us like
no other,
yeah, let's hear it for the city!
We're not gonna keep you too long,
we know you guys want to
get that out of the way, but we want to make sure
we get some thanks to some folks
that are very important to us Primarily
I want to thank the Dorsai Irregulars,
that security group that keps us all safe,
the folks in the red vests
when you see them, they're here to make sure
nothing bad happens to you.
Hey guys, I'm really comfortable signing on stage
not so much speaking,
ASL is my first language after all.
That was crazy, I didn't expect that to ever happen.
I'm so glad to be here.
Tomorrow it's actually gonna be six months
they call it my six months stab anniversary
It was crazy, I can't thank
all of you enough for your generosity
It doesn't surprise me at all now that I've been
here for a couple years I know that's
the kind of people you all are
I'm just so appreciative
everything you all did for me.
This is my favourite event of the year
and Lauren would agree, we talk about this
all year, we get excited to come here,
we love it so much!
When I was in the hospital I couldn't eat for a while.
And they told me I wasn't allowed to
light weights for 6 - 12 months
I went back faster than that to the gym
it was funny, I was like a teenager again,
When I started lifting when I was young,
I wanted to impress girls, that was the reason,
and now I told Lauren 2 months ago,
I go to the gym lifting 'cause I want to impress furries!
Before we introduce ourselves,
we'd like to introduce some folk who have been
very kind to join us this year
You all know that every year we invite
luminaty guests to grace us with
their presence, and we have three
this year, I will
bring them up one by one,
and you can say "Uuuuhh"
and "Aaah" and stuff like that
because they really kick butt all day.
First of all, Mr. Trevor Devall, you've
probably heard his voice many places of the animated
version of Guardians of the Galaxy:
Rocket Raccoon!
As soon as we saw that I was like "Oh my god!"
Hello Anthrocon!
Good to be here, it's my first time,
I'm very excited to be here
very excited to see all of you
and have all of you come see me
and my various pals this weekend so
[voice of Rocket Raccoon] Don't be shy, come on down
and say Hi to the guy who does Rocket!
Many of you have seen the Daisy Cats,
one of the most magnificent
furry
graphic novels
out there, it takes place in the
20's during the era of prohibition
...boooohhh!
Here's Tracy Butler!
Hi guys,
it's a real honor to be here,
thank you for the invitation
and to everyone who threw my name out there
as a potential guest here.
It's a tremendous honor to be here
I'm gonna draw for you if you come
see me in the dealers den
I'm going to let somebody
else introduce him because I'd probably
butcher his name and I do not
want to embarass myself.
That would be Mr. Joaquin Baldwin,
Disney animator!
Hey guys!
I'm super excited to be here
thank you so much for inviting me
this is frigging crazy.
By the way, did you hear about the announcement yesterday?
Wreck-It Ralf 2!
Coming up very soon!
Thank you very much!
Have a seat over there!
I was a little embarassed
last night as Joaquin
ahm, I asked to buy him a drink
and he said "I don't drink"
I said "That's okay, I'll drink it for you."
I'm Tom Brewer,
also known as Nicona Shadowwolf
I'm the newly appointed acting director
of registration.
"Appointed".
Yeah, "appointed".
I would like to appologize
for the delays we had
at registration yesterday,
we had problems with the badge printers
and we're working to correct that.
I'd like to thank you all for your patience.
As for numbers so far:
We've had over 4400
attendees preregister
and as of this point, we have
over 5800 registered attendees.
I want to remind that our theme is
"The Roaring Twenties", get it,
because it's our 20th Anthrocon
so we have chosen that theme
and as some of us have gotten
into it, it was a time of
frivolity and just
letting ones self go, and I fully
intent to do so in spirit of the time
so if you would hand me back my, uhm...
There's a bottle!
Nono, the real one, the actual one!
What? That's a real bottle!
It's not a hologram.
Our A/V guys are good, but they're not THAT good.
Okay, what is this all about?
It's the Twenties. It's prohibition.
And during the Twenties,
Pittsburgh was a dry city.
No problem!
The major decision makers are up here on stage.
All in favor of repealing prohibition:
Now how about you guys?
I have to talk to Mr. Thompson down there.
Fish fart in this stuff!
Anything else these good folk need to know?
At that point:
You guys have a lot of fun to have,
we don't want to keep you from it,
we declare the 20th Anthrocon
open!
Go and have fun!
I just had my coffee,
just got back from Di Luca's for big breakfast
it's fursuiting time!
You know what time it is for me?
What time is it for you?
Tonic time!
I guess they do breakfast at Tonic!
Let me guess: It's Beer:30!
Yes!
How to torture your roommates at a convention:
Buy a Fat Boys record!
This is my dealers' room, so fuck it!
I really hate being on camera. Especially this one.
Welcome to Anthrocon!
Let me show you around!
This is the Courtyard!
The Marriott Courtyard!
Why it's called the Marriott Courtyard?
It's really simple!
Why are people so confused about this!
I'm always nice to the hotel staff!
They take care of us!
And they didn't even complain when they found out
that I'm a werewolf!
I mean, they didn't complain more than once.
Come on.
I'll show you around.
This person is not lame.
Be nice to this person.
Cameras are for eating. Like this:
AahhharrrNahmNahmNahmNahm!!
This is my bat now!
I claim this bat!
A bit....
Uhm...
shenanigans?
So much fur!
[choking noises]
Suffocating in it!
This is awful!
Oh god, that's a lot.
I do get all the kisses
because I'm best dog!
Look at that. A werewolf on the escalator.
What?
I take a load off sometimes...
anything wrong with that?
It's like I jumped in a pool
at a wet shirt contest, and I'm
not gonna win any of those because
I'm not properly .... equipped.
Awww!
Are you in this elevator too?
No?
Nooooo???? Boop!
Oh no, that's like a super closeup of
the zits I have on my nose!
Hope you've been having a good time!
Oh my goodness!
That's my name!
Oh god!
Wow! We're a little tipsy!
I am being a proper fox!
Every proper fox
on Friday night should
be wasted at Anthrocon.
As myself is.
If that's proper grammaticals.
Which I think it is.
So yeah.
You're going to Tonic.
BBF is going to Tonic right now
to get wasted like I already am.
Good thing.
Good job!
You guys being safe tonight?
Oh my god! Oh my god!
You are gorgeous!
GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS!
I'mma take your picture so hard right now!
OH MY GOD!!
AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
[AWWOOOOOO]
Hellooo!
[Car horn honks]
Whassup?
Helloooo!
Hi, mum! You don't know that I'm here
but I don't care! It's a secret!
Love you mum!
O.D.G.!
Whoop!
No record, I ain't got nothing to say!
We've got nothing to say, it's Snoop Dog!
Oooh, excuse me!
You got me chillin'
at AC!
My first year!
A little bit overintoxicated!
A little bit too much
but you know what?
I'm already here so I'm gonna go ahead
and roll with it.
O.D.G.!
I'm just chilling for my Anthrocon
Just trying smoking, drink some
wishing a **** would come and
***** but I'm just....
Whoop!
O.D.G.!
They call me Snoop but I ain't
with no group
but I came in a coup
Whoop!
It's Snoop!
AC 2016
If you've not here, you're nowhere.
Best believe
Snoop in a group,
came in a coup,
leaving who knows,
what and where. But:
ey, it's always a good time
Best believe, you not
here, you not nowhere. And that's real.
I'm sayin' to my man Big and Blue,
couple foxes, couple dawgs,
everything!
If you don't know
you'll never know.
If you do,
you know where to find me.
I'm out!
AC! 2016!
Ey! Whoop!
Welcome to Anthrocon
2016!
Might be one after,
might be one before!
I'm a dog!
What? What are you doing?
What are you doing BBF?
What are you doing? What what?
Where are you going?
Did you see all the things?
Look at all the things!
There's some things over here!
Did you see these things? There's a fox right there!
Look at this guy!
OMG It's Zootopia!
OMG there's furries everywhere!
I don't know what to do anymore!
Buy some Arooo!
It's illegal!
It's good Arooo.
Hi! Are you recording right now?
Hi!
Big Blue Fox!
Greifer here making my final appearance
here at AC, one more time.
And look what I have here:
The beer that made Milwaukee famous!
I'm hiding this from the cops!
Don't be a jag-off!
No, heh,
the jag-off, I remember that!
What a classic phrase!
This is my 10th AC by the way!
And I enjoy it very much.
Now I'm gonna go enjoy a cigarette.
7 minutes...
... to the photo!
The parade will begin
immediately after the
photo. This is
your last chance
to get something to drink.
Please do so
and prepare
to line up.
We're now at two minutes.
You having fun so far? Awesome!
You see, everyone's excited!
What is going on buddy?
Look at this madness!
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen,
was the Anthrocon 2016
fursuit parade!
This is something we do because you guys
have been really great to our organisation
Thank you all very much!
I'm having so much fun I came around again!
It's too dark in here!
I hardly see you!
[Fox Amoore plays dramatic music]
Prohibition they say....
The board of directors wanted to stick to the
theme...
They do not seem to understand just
how difficult this job is.
And how the chairman needs
a little, uhm...
assistance, now and then, shall we say?
This stuff actually has some use after all.
Typically I don't like to
drink anything that fish fart in.
It is fascinating.
On top of the things that the British
come up with... notice how I said "The British"
not "English"? The folks who live on the British isles.
I had asked...
Mr. Amoore over here
if he would read
a few phrases to you.
Noone in the world
is more creative
when he wants to put you down
than a Scot.
Recently, an American
politician, whose name
we'll not mention,
He went up ot Scotland and he made
a statement, just in the past few days:
"The Vote". "They took their country back."
Scotland didn't want to leave.
So, Twitter apparently exploded
with replies,
Anybody under 18 in the audience, I'm gonna have to
ask you to kindly leave
or put your fingers in your ears
Parents, if you're here with your children,
or you're a person of sensitive constitution,
you have been forewarned:
A Scot is about to get angry.
Okay...
Ahm...
I appoligize in advance, Mom and Dad, if you're watching this,
Okay, so some of the responses
to Donald Trump on Twitter
The unnamed politician...
Oh, come on, we know who it was.
Here's what some of my fellow countrymen said to him.
This is the best one:
That's not even a word, it it?
This is the best, it's got a star next to it!
You know it's good when even the Aussies like it!
By the way, Pete Smith put this together,
my colleague in Audtralia. Thank you Pete!
I gotta remember that!
Weaselheaded fucknugget.... I....
By the way, as much as I admire the Australian educational system,
"Scotland" has one 'T'.
Sorry!
Burrrrrn!
I've got something else to show you:
The Germans actually bought this:
I know what that is!
This is the flag of my country!
Show some respect!
[American national hymn plays....]
[...in terrible sound quality]
[Hymn continues]
[Hymn still plays]
[Cheetah in audience] Don't push the button again!
Nein!!
Verpiss Dich! Fuck Off!
Did anybody go to 2's performance?
I tried to write this down:
He was talking about
Zootopia and how the... uhm...
how they didn't show some things...
Well, what was it he said
Like watching sloths jerk off?
With that being said,
watching sloths jerk off,
How long it takes a sloth to jerk off!
When he said that, I
looked at Big!
To see how he'd say "How long does it take a sloth to jerk off".
Jerk off! Jerk off! Jerk off! Jerk off! Jerk off!
How are you feeling after your
uhm...
Big had a terrible tragedy
happen in January, he was attacked
by a horrible hooligan on
the streets of his town and he was
stabbed in the chest
we were very glad
that they did not hit his remarkable
biceps or anything.
Did it leave a scar?
Yeah.
Can I see?
Just a real quick peek.
You noticed that the interpreters
switch off periodically? I was
terrified I'd get halfway through that story
and look over and Lauren would be there!
Wwoooowww!
It's BigBlueFox!
Wwwooooowwww!
Wooowww!
Wooowwwwoooowwwooooowww!
I'm going to go get...
my photo taken over there!
Talk to the hand!
Call for your mom again!
Like you did at MCFC!
That's not true!
It's on video!
I'm not talking about this!
I'll get my lawyer!
Yes, we cat!
Yes, we cat?
Yes, we cat.
Yes, we cat!
Thanks, Obama!
Thanks, Obama. Yes, we cat!
Don't think you can?
Just say "Yes we can!"
You think you can't wreck that expensive couch?
Just say "Yes, we cat!"
You think you can knock over that expensive vase?
Just say "Yes, we cat!"
You, too, can destroy your home!
Because it's your domicile,
you can do what you want, you're free to wreck
your house!
YES!
WE!
CAT!
I'm so adorable at times!
I'm so cute,
Look at me, I'm on the ground, on my knees!
On my paws, look how cute that is!
You'd be easy prey for a noseboop right now.
So photogenic.
That photogenic?
Lick your butt!
I can't do that, are you crazy?
You're a cat!
I'll pull my muscle or something!
You're a cat!
What do I do with this?
It's looking at me!
Woooowwww wwwooooowww!
Wwwoooooww!
Wow!
It's blinking. Is it mad?
Aahhh, gross!
Eeewwww! Gross!
Welcome to Anthrocon,
or the end of Anthrocon 2016
Who would have thought, 20 years...
20 years...
What are we gonna do next?
Trying to promote my new show, Crafty Arts....
There's my plug in:
Crafty Arts, YouTube, go search
for it!
You can witness the artwork that
I do.
Crafty Arts!
The Lord of the Lasers!
It is! Always!
Except for two years ago when our
power supply in the computer died and we
couldn't do anything about that.
Oh, darn it!
Welcome to Sunday night.
where we're still doing this.
I don't know why.
Noone knows why.
But the place is a zoo, it's packed!
[mumbling]
What was that!
What is in there?!
Don't do it ag... Aaahhhh!
Yeah, jump right down!
Whassup boy oh shoot whaddup!
Oh shit! Whaddup!
You're being fanboyed, BBF. It's okay.
You are now officially that boy. I'm sorry!
This is cameraception again?
Are we gonna do this again?
What to do... What to do... What to do...
Oh hi!
I got something for you people on the internet
Hi hi! Hi five? Yes!
Sorry if I talk a little bit fast...
[talks too fast for transcription]
We got KC,
I got Big Blue,
and I got fuzz to show you!
We got... tigered...
Blue.... purple...
Raaahr!
I got a fox butt!
Say Hi to the internet!
What's the best day for you?
All of them!
Including Wednesday.
You got here early!
The question is:
What did he do to get this?
What did he do?
Do you know what he did?
I have no idea.
You don't know either?
You don't know?
I don't think I wanna know what he did.
What's your name?
Say Hi!
Say Hi to the world?
People are taking video of me!
Oh my goodness!
Thank you so much for throwing this
convention in MY honor!
Oh, I'm so very flattered!
My goodness, hello!
I thrive on your parade and how fabulous I am!
Oh no!
Show'm the tail!
Ooooooohh!
[Klaus makes jackhammer sounds]
Bark!
Barkbark!
It's a dragon!
Aaahhhh!
It's a big blue dragon!
Hello!
Where are you from?
Salt Lake City!
At least you're not salty!
Not very.
Not very?
BBF, would you like to find that out?
No?
*giggles*
Aaah!
I don't have a hood, I can't do this.
Slip your hair in front of your face.
Ah, so metal!
I feel like a nineties wrestler
Calm down there, Ric Flair.
Whoooo!
Good night, Anthrocon!
Jen makes a good girl dog!
This is a shoot off!
I'm gonna win!
I'm BigBlueFox!
I cannot do German accents.
I'm sorry at how offensive I may be.
You speak English, this is no good!
I got a German accent!
A German activator!
Don't make fun of me, I have a condition!
It's called Beatmania!
That was the Dance Comp!
At 3:45 in the morning!
10 years of AC in Pittsburgh,
that's a lot of years!
I think 10 years of AC in Pittsburgh
Let's bring it on to the 20!
10 years of Pittsburgh!
This con keeps getting better and better!
It's awesome!
I've been doing this since 2010.
And it's been going crazier and crazier
every time!
Pittsburgh, good times, many
memories.
I think Pittsburgh's been amazingly
receptive to this and
for a city to be this open
to the furry group coming in
it's not only remarkable but
a great place for it to go
go in the future, too.
It feels like home, feels like
coming back home again. After 10 years
coming back to the same place
seeing the same people and the same friendly
faces. Its wonderful.
Like we.... see, look at that!
I'm already being offered....
I think of all cities
for it to be in, one that really
supports it and loves the con
and gets behind it like it does... Aaah!
WHAT? Jerk!
The problem is: 10 years are not enough.
It's not enough.
We need more.
They don't do that for one thing.
I'm amazed that they're so....
It's real.
What did you do?
You broke it!
You can't have too much of a good thing.
It might be poisonous.
Can you imagine AC ever going elsewhere?
I wouldn't want AC to move.
No.
NO!
I wouldn't want them to move.
No, I can't!
I haven't interacted with too many, but again,
there's like a whole mass of people
turn up for the parade, that's really cool.
It's a great city, they love the con,
I don't know what more you could ask for.
Come on, doesn't get any better than this!
AC and Pittsburgh, they are
sysonymous. They go hand in hand.
It's grown roots!
Pittsburgh is my home,
our home, you know.
This became one thing and
it wouldn't be half the fun without
it bleeding out into the city
like it does.
Pittsburgh and AC are one and the same.
People of Pittsburgh are awesome.
Very welcoming, friendly,
they love the con.
Could you imagine Uncle Kage walking
through New Jersey
How weird would that be?
Hello, New Jersey, I'm.... like...
Uncle Kardashian!
Every time I've gone out in suit
I've loved all the reactions.
They're like "OMG it's the furries!"
They're so excited and happy!
There's other possibilities but
Pittsburgh really loves us, so
we can't let the city down like that.
I don't want AC to move out because it's a short
drive for me.
We think the people of Pittsburgh
are amazing.
Yes. They are amazing.
People of Pittsburgh are amazing, they actually show
up, like the last couple
years they've been showing up
Ordinary citizens of Pittsburgh
come to watch our parade and
interact with us, see us,
and the fursuiters, and talk
with us.
Cheers to Pittsburgh!
Odd, but in a good way. Kinda like us.
They're very
very nice and
very kind with us.
This is so cool, the fact there are people
that came to see us is
like wow.
Pittsburgh has been the most welcoming
city to furries that I've
ever seen.
That's perfect.
