Suitopia 2016 – See Zootopia with MNFurs and Suit Up Saturday

[Ratts]

@Ridayah That’s what I keep telling him lol, but why listen to me right? A person who has been apart of the group for almost two years and I am just now getting to work on my suit lol.

CAN I BUY TICKETS AT THE DOOR:

As of right now, YES. But that could change. We have a TOTAL number of tickets we can buy ahead of time and every time someone buys one, that number goes down, and if all tickets are sold before Friday, that number could be zero.

As of Tuesday about 5 pm: we have about 30 tickets left.

We strongly recommend you buy your tickets online if you want to be sure to get a seat.

If you know you have no way of prebuying ticket and want to RSVP: please email me at [email protected]. I may be able to reserve a few tickets if you let me know this is your only option.

Also, on a side note the local paper is going to be covering this event! I am in the process of setting up interviews with the editor. Does anyone have any suggestions for any noteworthy local furs who might be worth interviewing?  Suitmakers, artists, event planners, etc.

Thanks guys, see you in three days!

So my boyfriend just bought the tickets, and at the very end it says that he has to be present because he bought them under his name?? Nowhere in the purchase process did it say anything about that and he’s not going to be there. Help?

[rachelison]

And rotten tomatoes gave it 100% which I’m not sure has ever happened before…

[rachelison]

he doesn’t have to be there, just print your receipt with QR code or be able to pull it up on your phone for us to scan when you arrive.

Oh, thank you so much! <3

From BuzzFeed:

Proof Disney Is Actually Marketing “Zootopia” To Furries

A marketing firm contracted by Disney has been reaching out to furry groups asking them to post to Instagram with the movie hashtag in exchange for freebies.

http://www.buzzfeed.com/katienotopoulos/proof-disney-is-actually-marketing-zootopia-to-furries#.kn04aLkwD0

WARNING: Story contains numerous NSFW links,  Zoo(philia) references, and goes on about Furries who want to yiff Robin Hood (the fox from the Disney movie). I’m not opposed, just that it’s a FAR from PG rated article.

I saw that article and laughed. Disney is marketing it’s movies to fans of Disney movies, period. Are they aware of furries? Yes. Is this movie directed at them? No.  I’m one of those people who’ve mentioned the movie after seeing a screening of it and got faved by a Disney employee but that’s much in the same way as mentioning a business will get you faved by them because of the mention.  It’s a coincidence.  Either way, it’s a fun movie and I look forward to seeing it at least a couple more times with friends. =)

Not sure yet. We are working on that.”

Any update on a changing/storage area?

I have been conversing with SUS on this and it’s still being looked at.  We will have an answer tomorrow or Friday so more details soon!
