Awesome! For the highly valued (anti)talents like you we have prepared an event where you can go nuts to the sound of your favourite songs. Forget about shame, forget about prejudice. Come and make it clear to all of us that you are a true embodiment of an artist, even if this world doesn't quite get you.<br /> <br /> <strong>Those of you who would like to participate, please register any number of songs chosen from the list (<a href="http://www.tabbiefox.com/karaoke2010.xls">http://www.tabbiefox.com/karaoke2010.xls</a></strong><strong>) at the e-mail address tabbiefox@cesfur.org, or in person on the spot before the event starts!</strong> If you can't find your favorite song, no problem - send a tip to the e-mail address above and we'll try to do our best to fulfill your wishes. </p> - Batian Lion will be photographing fursuiters again this year. If you wish to benefit from his professional equipment and want individual photos, <strong>please let us know</strong> (preferrably via the <a href="http://www.en.cesfur.org/contact">contact form</a>, select "program" as the topic).<br /> <br /> - And one last thing. We know that many of you find it difficult to part with the friendly atmosphere of the con. We do, too - that's why we decided to add one extra, unofficial day. No events are planned and there will be no organization, also the hotel will no longer be closed to other guests. Nevertheless, if you want to stay with your friends for an extra day, it will be possible to arrange that with the hotel, there should be enough places available. The expected cost is up to 400 CZK / 16 EUR (no meals except breakfast). http://www.en.cesfur.org/news/11 2010-06-11T00:30:09+02:00 2010-09-06T21:43:37Z <p>Today we launched the last principal componen of ČeSFuR information system: the art show and charity auction management. You can enter your items after logging into the system in your profile, under the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.en.cesfur.org/my/artshow"><strong>Items in art show and auction</strong></a>&nbsp;link.</p> <p>If you want to exhibit something on the art show or sell it in the charity auction, please insert your items using the web interface provided. Although entering items onsite would be possible, we would really appreciate, if you would enter your data in advance. This would allow us to better prepare the event itself and also it will speed up the art show setup.</p> <p>We would also setup the new event on ČeSFuR, called <strong>The Market Hall</strong>. It would be equivalent to "dealer's den" you may know from some other conventions. The Market Hall would be a special "SIG" in alotted time. If you would like to sell anything - most likely your artworks - just come in, there is no need to register in advance.</p> http://www.en.cesfur.org/news/10 2010-05-20T20:33:33+02:00 2010-09-06T21:43:37Z <p></p> Dear furries,<br /> if you want a ČeSFuR T-shirt (black with a color picture from this website), please select your size until May 24, if you haven't already done so.
