A surprise came to New York City furs at the end of April when word spread of a new convention this November in their area that nobody had heard of: New Anthrodam. Without an official announcement, nor having been established in conjunction with the local furry organizations, people were left in the dark as to who was running it. New Anthrodam, to be held in downtown Brooklyn the weekend before Thanksgiving, caught even the organizers of local events off guard when knowledge of it went around.
On April 3rd, a Bluesky account bearing the name was created and made its first post: “Coming soon!” but no attention was given until awareness of it arrived suddenly on the 24th, during Furgeddaboutit. The website the account linked to—registered last August, according to a WHOIS query—consists of a logo, dates and venue, two social media links, a link to sign up to a mailing list, and a vector city skyline (with windows that light up randomly on each visit). No information on what it is about or how to register are provided for a convention less than six months out. So, who runs it?
