Late Friday afternoon, a few dozen furries came down to National Harbor, Maryland, for the first in-person event hosted by Capital FurCon, an upcoming 21+ furry convention set to have its inaugural weekend in February. At a karaoke and bar called Live-K, the free, four-hour event was hosted in conjunction with DC Fur Meet, which hosts monthly bar nights in Washington, D.C.
The plaza outside Live-K was awash in Juneteenth celebration. Inside, outnumbering casual patrons enjoying a birthday or coming in from the heat, local furries in and out of fursuit drank and danced. Being a karaoke establishment, people could queue songs to sing on the main stage, before the lineup of DJs performed. There were also small side rooms, where people could either stash their bags or sing karaoke in a more secluded space for the whole event. DJs HanIsAlive, Novocanine, and KaiTo performed sets on the main stage through the latter half of the event.
The bar apparently gave happy hour pricing, though this reporter found himself being charged almost $17 for an alcoholic slushie. This paled in comparison to the $50 parking fee he found himself having to pay. (He should have parked in a different garage, and should have asked for budget drinks.)
