It’s Anthrocon time again — the annual summer invasion of Steel city by the Fur nation. There’ll be fun, costumes, art, screenings, and the amazing sight of a major city’s downtown filled with countless fursuited convention-goers.
Anthrocon 2018 will be held Thursday through Sunday at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center … Costumes are only part of the convention for many of those attending, board member John Cole says in an earlier interview. He adds that Anthrocon is different than, for example, a science fiction convention or Harry Potter convention in that there is no preconceived storyline. Only about 20 percent of Anthrocon attendees partake in costuming. Some write, some draw — it’s all about telling a story, Cole says.
An emerging tradition: many Pittsburgh restaurants will serve your meal in a dog bowl.
