Well, how about a more Europe-tinted theme? Something specific to Europe?

Themes of the movies I would like to suggest :)  Would go well also with the downstairs bar that seems dedicated to movie memorabilia :D

@thygrrr:
Steampowered programmable calculations machines...
Steamdriven Spaceship..
Man with Bowlers at the controls....

everything made of brass, copper and wood... ^^

Exactly! That'd be a really stylish theme. Just think of the possibilities!

( steam-punkifying 21st century stuff is fun, too:  http://steampunkworkshop.com/daveveloz.shtml )

( or use actual steam age tech... http://steampunkworkshop.com/jay-lenos-1906-stanley-its-driving-your-own-coffin ... AWESOME! )

You missed that one...That was back in 2004, when EFX: The Movie took over the JH Biggesee in Olpe, and is where Uncle Kage first said, "I am Chairman of the largest furry convention in the world, but I personally believe that the best furry convention is right here."

Cheers,

Steampunk is a good topic.

What about Cyberfurence? You know virtual worlds, artificial intelligences, stuff like that~

Nocturne

There was already a con with a Steampunk theme. Last Califur in May, 15th - 18th.

Recherei

By this time it has become virtually imposible to come up with a completely original fur con theme.  For many cons and most of the time it is little more than window dressing.  You shouldn't worry if your theme is similar to that of another con in an earlier year.  I don't recall anyone saying their decision to attend a con was based on whether they liked the theme or not. 

so  .  .  .

And? Eurofurence and Califur are two completely different cons in different countries, and even continents.

Califur and Eurofurence have such a small common attendee base...

I doubt this is relevant; and also; there were horror furry cons, movie furry cons, casino furry cons, ..., you name it, before and after EF 10, 13, 14...

I dont know if a theme based on a country would be something, like Germany-theme etc. just a thought that appeared in my head :p

I actually think that would be a pretty bad idea. Maybe something concerning all Europe, but not Germany (or any other country) only.

Edit: But at least the Jägermeister decorations wouldn't have been out of place then. <.<

It's EUROFURENCE. I think it is *the* singly most polynational con there is, especially considering its size.
