"A recorded skit parodying a popular SNL short brought raucous laughter to this year's Furry Night Live. However, some found the work by fursuit studio Furr Happens deeply offensive, and have been making their voices heard on Further Confusion's LiveJournal."
"Sign-ups for the Furry Market Place open August 1st. Application material is available below. Do not send your application with a postmark earlier than August 1st, 2009. Such applications will be placed at the end of the queue."
What happened in this case is that there was a malfunction in a batch processing job of charges in the bank delivery system from the Hotel. They just got this fixed this last week and resubmitted the job. That's why the charges are showing up in that period from Feb 16-18. We are trying to get this word out as quickly as we can.

"FC: Confirmed fraud issue
Hello everyone. First time poster, but I joined so I could share the bad news.
Last night, I was checking my online statement and noticed two charges that shouldn't be there, both from the Doubletree, and both initiated on Tuesday, posted Thursday. I was rather shocked, since I hadn't been to the hotel since Monday of the con weekend. The only time my card was out of my sight was when I was dining at Sprig's.

a) Doubletree Hotel completely Sold Out.
APOLOGIES: Yes, we did something that has never occurred at the Doubletree for any event, ever. We sold out the entire hotel in less than one week. In fact, the hotel expanded our block on some of our bridge nights to pretty much capacity without requiring us to sign another contract. We already were at capacity on our primary nights.

The demand for rooms at our convention hotel for FC2009 has been unprecedented this year. Not only unprecedented for FC but for the Doubletree as well. They have never had an event of our size sell out as quick. Our 8 suites sold out in under 10 minutes and the Exec level floors in a shade over 10 hours. The bulk of the other rooms in the hotel went in under 72 hours, and we actually determined that we'd sold out for sure Monday afternoon. There is no chance of an expansion of our block at the DoubleTree because, quite simply, there are no more rooms to be had.
"Our hotel room block opened at midnight (PDT) this morning. You can find out what you need to do in order to make a reservation on our hotel page.
We're already sold out of suites(!!). The hotel only has 8 of them, and they went in under an hour. Everyone else who has mailed in asking for a suite will be put onto the waiting list for them."
"I know that many of you have been anxiously waiting these, so here they are.
Theme
Our theme for 2009 will be Surf Safari! So, catch a wave and hang-ten off the shores of a Polynesian isle, or hit the beach and grab a mojito under the palm trees, listening to the call of tropical birds.
Hotel
The reservations system will open for our block on April 2nd. You can find the rates on our hotel page at http://www.furtherconfusion.org/fc2009/hotel, but we will not be putting up either the link to the o
