PafCon

From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.

PafCon (the Plushies and Furries Convention) is a furry convention located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and it was once realistically displayed in CBS program CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode Fur and Loathing. The name itself is a reference to MTV's Sex2K episode Plushies and Furries.

PafCon was a four-day convention

Although PafCon is not a real convention, some in the fandom have created PafCon convention shirts, which can be spotted at actual furry conventions. Supposedly two versions of these shirts are in existence: one mocking the CSI episode itself, and another one that looks like an authentic convention t-shirt.

Did you know? According to Bob Pitt's calendar, PafCon took place from 29 October - 1 November 2003. The same calendar noted a television program ("Marsupial Madness") on 17 October (at 8PM on channel 26), as well as mention of a virus scan and the dreaded TPS forms.
