Fursuiting at RBW 2008

Whether you are a fursuiter or just someone who appreciates fursuiting antics - RBW 2008 is going to offer you opportunities! We have almost tripled the number of events from last year and with that have really tried to make a comprehensive fursuit track. We also took a long, hard look at last years fursuit related activities to see where we could improve. On this page we list the main fursuit related activities, services, and projects for you all to join in with.

Don't forget to check the events page for a full fursuit event list!

Fursuit Lounge

For this years event we have dedicated an entire room just for the comfort of our fursuiting guests. The lounge will provide fresh water, isotonic drinks, Febreeze, towels, a head tree, and large industrial cooling fans.

If you have any ideas about what you want to see included in the lounge then don't forget you can email from the contact us page.

Fursuit Conbadges

During the weekend any suiter can go to the photoshoot area and get a custom fursuiter badge!

RBW 2008 Fursuiting Events

Fursuit Stampede
Otherwise known at other conventions as the 'Fursuit Parade', our fursuit stampede is sure to be huge and a ton of fun. The parade will take suiters around the hotel and convention facilities, through Russell square park, and back to the hotel for a giant fursuit photo shoot.

If you are going to take part in the fursuit stampede then why not bring some props? Try a squeeky toy, a bubble gun, or anything else to say "Hey London - The furries have arrived!". The Fursuit stampede will be led by the great suiter - Shema!

Fursuit Commonwealth Games
Back for a second year we are proud to present the crazy antics of the furriest event on the sporting calendar. We will be adding some new games, keeping some of the old ones, and letting the fur fly as grudges are settled (Cake, Durandal, and LycraWolf play nice now!).

Fursuit photo shoots
Thankfully to get a picture of a fursuit you don't need to wait in a hide like David Attenborough! In fact I think its fairly safe to say that us fursuiters just love to show off to a camera! This year we have will photoshoot opportunities throughout the each day as well as having a permanent photo area with backdrop.

Fursuit performance
Performing in fursuit can be tricky. But at RBW 2008 we will be holding a number of performance workshops to give advice. The schedule includes workshops both relevent for beginners as well as advanced fursuit performance.

Fursuit Dance
Along with the hours of music we have planned we will be holding a fursuit dance both on the Friday night and during the Sunday closing party.

Fursuit Construction with Fatkraken
Yet again we Fatkraken will be running an number of fursuit and costume contruction panels across the weekend. She will also be available for some one-on-one help and guests will be welcome to talk with her throughout the weekend.
