Title: New one, my first eurofurrence, so scare
Post by: Hige on 15.08.2014, 11:47:57
Hi everybody. This is my first eurofurrence! And unfortunately I need to visit it by myself(( That's why I'm so scare to be alone there.  Hope some company will accept me and we will spend such a great time together! But there is a problem, I'm shy(

Hi Hige!

Don't worry, we're a friendly bunch! I highly recommend attending the "Your First Convention" event happening at 12noon on Thursday. It's a great place to hear from some convention staffers about how to get the most out of the con. At the same time, a lot of attendees there will also be there for the first time, so it's a great way to meet others in the same situation as you are. Similarly, there's a "How to meet people at conventions" panel at 2pm the same day. Those should help!

My first convention, I did bump into some people I knew that I had no idea were going to Eurofurence. Perhaps you might find the same thing! But even if you don't, it's a great way to meet some awesome people!

Enjoy! :)

I think that Tungro is right the my first con panel is quite a useful thing to attend to learn how things work.

You're welcome to our roomparties, chillout lounges and movienights any time.
I'm more worried about the logistical nightmare of flying to Berlin and getting to the hotell and back, along with our crap.

There is a bonus Hige because there are quite a number of furs from Russia attending Eurofurence. So even if you're not too comfortable with foreign languages, you'll most certainly find other people speaking your native one.

Hello Hige, dont worry everybody is welcome!
Besides you there will be 66 other Furs from Russia, and almost everybody else talks english.

Like Tungro started: I recommend you the "Your First Convention" and the "How to meet people at conventions" Panels they may give you a lot of useful information! :)

And a last tip: Don't plan too much, it will come out different :P

Yes, I totally do! I met one german furry and we spent a lot of time hanging around, taking pictures, etc. It was so sad to leave this beautiful event, but still i'm full of emotions! Next time I'm gonna visit roomparties! This time I was too shy(
