Hiya!!! I'm writing this from my friend's house near Sacramento, preparing for my THIRD consecutive 'Further Confusion' being held in Downtown San Jose at The SJ Convention Center. I'm looking forward to this particular convention, as FC is 'California's Furry Con' and the impact this fur con does for The Bay Area and it's charity 'The Billy DeFrank LGBTQ Center'. If it wasn't for Furry Weekend Atlanta being my Favorite Furry Con, FC would be the ONE!!! It's a very close second. I will be rooming with 4 fluffbutts, a couple I've roomed with before  VVolfaith  GustlyWolf and first-time roomies to FC  thomasfox and his partner  Tokilai - We will have snacks and beverages throughout the con. Please join us in our room at The San Jose Marriott, from Thursday 01-16 to Monday 01-20. For the second straight year, I'll be co-hosting the Greymuzzle Panel with  MelWhite on Friday afternoon at 5pm in The Guadalupe Meeting Room at San Jose Marriott. Please join us for 90 minutes of 'joyful noise' on being an older furry and tips to maximize the best in your second half of life. We have a lot of fun hosting this panel, and I would love to personally meet ya. Don't be shy, you are invited!!! As a first-time fursuiter to FC 2020, Joe Bear will be walking around - my 'Bear-sized' Cal cap will finally be on my bear so it would feel complete and at the con of my choosing. Rom is a wonderful fursuit maker, though she didn't make my fursuit, she is making the cap so it would have a 'Made In California' touch to my Bear. We are also planning a 'Joe Bear & Friends' fursuit meet on Friday at 2pm in the Lounge area near 'The Zoo''. If you have a fursuit and wish to join us in the Photoshoot, please let me know. Once Again, Thanks for being my friend here on FA and looking forward to seeing ya at Further Confusion 2020 'CyberPunk' Theme. See ya in San Jose!!! Joe G. Bear
