[email protected] ">David J. Rust has posted a basic study on furry sociology. While his data is up to four years old, it does provide an interesting snapshot of some fandom demographics.

The 'blooper' clips of the flash-animated comedy "The God and Devil Show" feature short snippets from the episodes, and are available full-time (whereas the full episodes are posted on a limited basis).

Of interest to furries is the "Sigfried and Roy" blooper, which features a white, leather-clad "sabre-toothed uber tiger morph." Licking his leg/thigh/crotch, no less. Direct link here.

C.A.R.E., a Florida refuge for large cats and a host of other animals, has suffered a serious setback. The owers of the land the center has been leasing has decided to sell, leaving C.A.R.E. until May 1st to relocate.

Please pass this along and help in any way. They need money and legal aid. Fast.

Damon Knight, SF Grand Master, died yesterday in a hospital in Eugene, Oregon. Among his many accomplishments, Knight wrote "To Serve Man" (the short story immortalized by the Twilight Zone episode), started the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writer's Association, and wrote a book about writing that still sits on my shelf today, Creating Short Fiction.

As part of our programming for ConFurence 2002, we will be hosting a 'Tribute Room' for folks within and around Furry Fandom who have left us since last year's convention, and for that, we would like to make a request:

If folks who're coming to the convention (or live near it) have material of an interest to the folks we're remembering, we'd like to borrow it for our display.

Do you have books, pictures, tapes, or other materials relating to (in no particular order):

*Chuck Jones
*William Hanna
*Maurice Noble
*Poul Anderson
*Gordon R. Dickson
*Tove Jansson [Creator of the Moomin Trolls]
*Eve Titus [Creator of Basil of Baker Street]

If you do, could we make use of it?
