Things are going about as well as can be expected for an attempt to start a vanity con by a furry with similar behavior to Nitro.
NaziFurReceipts has an entire thread (archive) running on details regarding Shadow Le Rawr and his fuckery. It gets updated with new information every few days or so. Some salient points:
At the beginning of the year, SCFC had announced a venue and dates (archive). However, conversations in the official Telegram chat suggest that there was uncertainty (archive) regarding paying the deposit for the venue. They even attempted to sell art slots in order to fundraise. Pro-tip: don't attempt to start a con without seed money already secured.
As of last week, the event remains desperate (archive) to fundraise for the event deposit. They are even discounting their "Founders" (archive) membership to try and come up with the money. The post gained little traction on Twitter.
Earlier in February, there was an entire callout (archive) regarding SCFC and Shadow Le Rawr misusing commissioned artwork (archive). Specifically in regards to the use of commissioned artwork for commercial purposes without buying out the artists' rights. Commercial rights to commissioned artwork is common, and artists retain those rights unless bought out. Typically, there is a clause in their TOS addressing this.
Furries will sell things for whatever price will get them money, but $50 for a poster is a bit excessive.
There was also mention of a contract (archive) which would have only given benefit to Shadow/SCFC. A lot of unnecessary legalese to say "We can use your artwork for profit, and you're going to GIVE us that right, free to charge."
This went over so well that SCFC has replaced (archive) their previous logo with a new one, in order to cut ties with the YCH artist.
For an event that hasn't even started, this is a LOT of drama. Anyone with sense, furry or not, would be smart to steer clear.

The babyfurs from this online convention have begun marketing their in-person event. Lord have mercy on the poor, innocent residents of Santa Cruz, CA:

If the cringy video wasn't enough, they include a bottle service, which is exactly what it implies.
And there's more! It seems like they haven't learned anything from Dashcon or Free Fur All when they included ballpits, so thepedos babyfurs are gonna do that too:

And of course, everything is super-secret, because reasons:
They should've tried harder to keep their pedocon a secret. A bit of searching on Google Maps reveals that their secret location is actually:
Hotel Paradox
611 Ocean Street
Santa Cruz, CA
Everything matches what is shown in the video.
God, I can't imagine what it'll be like to be working at this hotel when this shitshow happens. Remember, they bought out the entire hotel. Imagine being a housekeeper here and every room you clean has the same smell of baby powder and shit for the entire weekend.
Pray for these employees, Kiwis. They neither asked, nor deserve this hell.

Such a fucking shame too because by the looks of the hotel it looks incredibly beautiful in the rooms and outdoor area.

They will deserve the consequences of not background checking. The damages these people will cause to the hotel will probably outweigh whatever they earned.Such a fucking shame too because by the looks of the hotel it looks incredibly beautiful in the rooms and outdoor area.

The funniest thing to me is that somehow, the most degenerate of these cons appears to be the best-organized one lel

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. I await the return of RainFurrest.

Probably because while baby fur stuff is weird and gross, they aren't completely delusional or obsessed with drama. They just want to pretend to be babies.
You can get a lot done, and smoothly to boot when you aren't running damage control 24/7

I hate to admit it, but you have a point since CAPCon seems to exercise a degree of responsibility with the degeneracy that goes on with their events. I was fully expecting upon learning of its existence last year that it would lead to some RainFurrest-level shenanigans but it went off without a hitch. Shocker, right?
Who knows? Maybe this one will be the same. But hey, if some stupid shit goes down there, it's more milk for this thread. Nothing to lose!

If the con is anything like RainFurrest, I feel for the traumatized hotel staff who are going to have to deal with all the shit.

What's funny is that Santa Cruz is kind of a shit hole. While that hotel itself seems nice, the street it on really isn't. It's also right next to the courthouse and riverside park that at least used to be a massive homeless encampment. It seems like the Santa Cruz Diner (very close nearby) no longer open 24 hours a day so that's some solace for those employees as they won't be having a bunch of baby furs wander in drunk at 4 am.
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out why they chose Santa Cruz at all. It isn't easy to get to and it isn't a particularly nice town.

The hotel looks really nice, actually. Here’s some photos from their website:

The VancouFUR convention, being held at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel running from March 2-5, had a bad day today. It was all fun and games, up until the convention's Twitter account suddenly posted this:

Yup, it appears they got a bomb threat!
(tweet) (archive)
Didn't take too long for the all clear to be given, though.
(tweet) (archive)
At the moment, I am waiting for them to put out an announcement on what happened exactly. But the attendees all seem to think it was a bomb threat.
In the midst of the evacuation was taking place, some people managed to take some good pictures.
And this furry took the opprotunity the evacuation provided to start having gay sex, apparently.

Wasn't a bomb threat, it turns out. Just a traditional swatting, allegedly called in by a phone number from Memphis, Tennessee. The person who wrote the statement wants everyone to shut up about it and not discuss it any further. It might have to do with the fact a couple people are/were spreading rumors about someone in the building being confrontational towards the furries.

I fucking love the last screenshots, the whole "anything bad that happens is the rights fault" mentality, like nigga can you please stfu about politics for half a second while you let con staff do their fucking job?
