I was there all 3 days, damn was I SUPER hyped since it was my first con period! So I have a few keynotes. From my home in the Valley, it was about a 1 hour drive, so I returned home after Friday's activities then returned with my brother on Saturday and stayed at the Holiday Inn for one night just to be able to stay for the night events until they ended at 1am (shout out to DJ Goofy. He's was absolutely insane with his mixes!). It was pretty cozy. Nothing really too special. Just your average Holiday Inn. Friday's reg line, on the other hand, was... Something. Lol. I think I spent around😊 2 1/2 hours in line, but time just flew by from how excited I was (also it helped that there was a guy with a stereo in line just playing random songs to keep the mood up)! Fun little fact about the location, a large mall known the Ontario Mill is only like 10 minutes away and there are TONS of restaurants (including the only Rainforest Cafe in California where me and my bro went to eat).
That you so much for all these keynotes!! really glad to hear you and your brother were so hyped and had a great time at the con. Love the point on the Ontario Mill with having a ton of restaurants. I will have to check that out next time :3
AFC was my first con!! It was honestly such a fun time, I was there the whole weekend with a friend and we had a blast - I felt like the dealer’s den and the pool room were the most enjoyable things for me personally, since I’m not a heavy party person, but even things like the fursuit walks or seeing all sorts of cool people are super fun too! I’ll definitely be back next year for AFC (without suit probably), I’d love to make a few friends while I’m there next time! ^^
Making new friends is the best! Happy to hear you had a great experience . The walking around vibing with everyone definitely was a big plus for the con :3
Ever since i went to GSFC which was my first furcon and when I heard AFC coming to Ontario Ca mind you I am from Long Beach I had fun went with my best friend we had the best time at AFC met new fur friends I loved it I may consider going again next year for a three day weekend
I havent been to GSFC yet myself but be cool to hit it up. Its great to hear you and your friends had a great time at AFC! I definitely will go next year and for the whole weekend :3
I went there on Saturday and was able to get a Chikn Nuggit print, which I have framed in my room. That was like my main thing for why i wanted to go to the convention. It was also my first ever convention (let alone a furry one) and I got a lot of cool stuff. It was a blast!!
I was so excited that there was a convention somewhat near me but I heard about it just 1 day before it happened and I have no money so I couldn't go :( maybe next year
aww yeah that is unfortunately and I am real sorry to hear that . Bright side next year will be even more awesome so be a great time to attend the con then :)
First time at AFC, but not new to general furry cons! Sadly I can only go to SoCal ones, so to see it exist AND out of a quinkiedink is something NOT on my 2024 bingo! Yea, I went to AFC on my day of from work, and boy its magical. Oh and scored plenty of Neopets fan merch, which was my highlight! For dinner, I and a friend walked to In-N-Out, which all of us are in 2/4s partial or full on kemonomimi/cat ears!
Yeah this one was pretty cool I went there for a day. It was actually my first furry convention. It was pretty fun I made a lot of new friends and everything. It was pretty cool. I did meet James. Bought a lot of stuff. It would be cool if I saw you there but maybe next time. But at least it was pretty fun. Can't wait for another one pretty soon I guess.
I didn't get the chance to go this year sadly! I know Rubix had been talking for a while about AFC as they got things prepped. Knowing Rubix, he only looks to improve so I am certain future AFCs will adapt. I'm fairly certain too that they had major budget constraints as a first-year convention is entirely out of pocket(to a degree) coupled with less-than-ideal venue contracts. As the convention ages, the contracts should certainly be better. Glad you had a great time Coda!
I really like your content and I think your a really good furry content creator! I dont know how often you get this but from people, I just got to say it, your voice sounds really close to The Roundtable guy's voice
I'm glad that I got to experience some of this con second-hand from you. This one snuck up on me but looks like it was great, especially for the first year! Are you going to NFC again next year? Admittedly your video from this year is one of the reasons that I decided to try to go next year, and I'm looking forward to the Maid Cafe
Maid cafe there is really awesome so you will enjoy it and the con overall! I dont know if ill be able to do NFC this time due to wanting to support JMOF (furry con in japan)
Ok was it bad I saw the Canada ref coming? LOL. And yeah I had that AC feel too. But yeah, I like how aspects from oversea cons were implemented. Still not bad for a first con. Plenty of growing room :)
That was a great video I enjoyed it a lot and it looks like you had lots of fun even you had only 1 day. I hope you can come to Vancoufur fur con in March 7th till the 10th 2025 in Canada the theme is pirates

glad you had so much fun at your 1st furry con!
And yes Ill be there next year so come say hey when you spot me :)
@@thatdogcodaOn 3:58, I met that lynx furry with a ball of yarn at last year’s PAWcon. I think he’s planning on going back there for this year.
@@logancaldwell7813 oh that is really awesome Logan! :)
@@thatdogcoda Thanks, man. I’ll see if I could see him again.
AFC slapped! Was so fun hanging with you out of con and during it, too! Gotta come visit Kipp and I again sometime soon!
Yes Yes and Yes!
And agreed slapped hard for sure ^^
Fantastic review, glad to hear your perspective! I might have to try this one next year.
Thank you! :D

Ye! Honestly again, they did an amazing job. I agree it will continue to grow in many ways :)

Wow, thank you! That is quite the compliment. I can hear it based on his pacing and inflections of his voice :3
Afc was amazing! I’m glad you had a good time too
So good! And same to you bean! ^^

@@thatdogcoda Dang, that'd be cool! Good luck on making it to that one!
@@BowieBarks Thank you! ^^
I actually saw you at AFC...tho I was a tad too nervous to approach. Glad you had fun at the Con.
Thank you and definitely come say hi to me next time and get a hug if you like ^^
Something tells me this con is needed for all furs who are too far away, also it may just become a big one! :3
I think it will become one of the bigger ones as well! ^^
Will you be going to PawCon in San Jose?
I wont be able to this time around sadly
Ok was it bad I saw the Canada ref coming? LOL. And yeah I had that AC feel too. But yeah, I like how aspects from oversea cons were implemented. Still not bad for a first con. Plenty of growing room :)
Ye plenty of growing room for sure!
and not bad you saw the ref coming, just blame canada for it LOL ;3
and the voice crack at 10:32 XDD
😂
Hey coda this was a nice video I really injoy your videos
Thank you so much Noah!
That was a great video I enjoyed it a lot and it looks like you had lots of fun even you had only 1 day. I hope you can come to Vancoufur fur con in March 7th till the 10th 2025 in Canada the theme is pirates
I might be able too since its not too far ^^
Glad you enjoy the video!
This video is nice. Coda is nice too.
much love Brandon! 💙
Awesome video dawg!
Appreciate it very much! ^^
OMG I see myself at 13:08 :3
Let's gooooo! 🔥😎
So there are now two fur cons in Southern California replacing the shit show that was CaliFur.
Hopefully they don't turn out like CaliFur.
I have strong faith AFC will rise to the occasion! ^^
Why does your voice sound familiar?
Remind me of a poketuber or somthing i think
I appreciate the compliment! I have that kind of voice ;3
Wait is james officially a furry now? Does he have a twitter for his furry page?!?!
He still plays the "i may be I may not be card" but we all know he is or very into it :)
My birthday???
🍰😎
I mean only time will tell, the con could've been infinitely worse. The future looks golden tho
I agree the future looks bright!
