My first furry convention was Anthrocon 2013, shortly before I fucked off to New York. The convention took place over the 4th of July weekend, and coincidentally the Pirates were playing a home game on the 4th of July as well. (The stadium is directly across the river from the convention center.) They won, and I happened to be on the roof of the convention center at the time as well. Fireworks were going off everywhere, you could hear the roar from the stadium, and the con center roof was packed with furries watching the celebration over the river. It was a magical moment.
