Taiwan furmeet Furmily hold first edition in hotel

Held by the “PCD Stacking Group,” the second Furmily: Blessings of the Sunset took place on Nov 17, 2022 at Hotel Royal Hsinchu.

The hotel is located in Taiwan’s Hsinchu City; this is Furmily’s first time working with a hotel.

The furmeet also raised the attendee limit to 150 people. More furries who did not join the first event can now join.

Key highlights

This time, the event invited local fursuiter Dumbo for a performance during opening ceremony.

Another fursuiter, Yangi, was also invited for a speech on fursuit photography.

Furmily organisers also have featured several fursuit makers on their website.

That gives furries who want to own their very first fursuit an opportunity to understand more about fursuit-making.

The event’s “familial” philosophy

Compared to big Taiwanese furry events like Infurnity and Furry Tea Party, Furmiliy keeps its priority to “family”.

They want to make a place conducive for attendees to socialise with each other, hence it’s easy for them to get involved.

Furmily does not want participants to get tired of activities and speeches, hence an event that’s more leisurely-paced.

The furmeet’s organisers say they chose a hotel as the event venue because they want participants to “feel more welcome and comfortable”.

They changed the hotel venue after the last edition because the latter’s venue, Château de Chine Hotel Taoyuan, is closed.

Conclusion and next plans

Furmily 2022’s attendee count maxed their limit of 150. There are 80 fursuiters; 69 of them are in the fursuit photo.

But the 150-attendee limit seemed not enough. Some furries still could not join the event, and are disappointed.

The furmeets’ organisers said they will discuss and may raise the attendee limit by the next Furmily.

Furmily will return in December 2023 themed “Calling of the Holy Light,” welcoming everyone to join.

台湾兽聚兽迷力首次在酒店举行活动

由PCD叠加小组所主办的第二届Furmily(兽迷力),主题为《—夕阳的厚礼》,于2022年12月17日,在台湾新竹市的老爷酒店四楼会议厅举办。

本次活动是主办方首次与饭店业者合作。

与首届相比,参与人数上限被提升至150位,让没能参加到第一届的兽迷们可以有机会参与。

本届除了邀请本地人气毛毛丹波做开场表演外,也安排山羊骑士为主讲的讲座、交换礼物、名片交流与祈愿卡等,让参加者可以轻松与他人互动。

活动方也提供制作毛装的工作室可以展示在官网上的机会。

这样能给予想要拥有毛装却不知道如何开始的兽迷们可以近距离与这些工作者们交流的机会。

该活动的“家”理念

相较于兽无限、以茶会毛等大型活动,兽迷力以「家」为核心,同时保持着「悠闲交友、叙旧,以及可以轻松上手体验的活动」的性质。

兽聚不希望参加者要一直赶场跑众多讲座和活动,从而疲倦,也让许多参加者表示兽迷力的活动规划上让人放松惬意。

根据了解,主办方本次会选择以饭店为活动空间,主要是希望能找到让参加者可以在优闲舒适的环境与高度亲切感的氛围下进行。

在诸多挑选后,新竹老爷酒店被选作为本次的活动场地。

至于在2021年因疫情取消的活动与本次场地不同。主办方表示因为2021年选择的场地桃园翰品酒店因故不再营业,因此才换至本次的活动场地。

结论和下步计划

主办方表示,本次活动到场人数达到150人的极限。当中,有参加大合照的毛毛总共为69位,登录参与本次活动的毛毛则高达80位。

对于本次活动的人数上限,有兽迷对于无法报名参加表示可惜。

主办方表示会再讨论后规划增加参加人数的可能性。

在本次闭幕上也预告将在2023年12月办理第三届活动,主题为《圣光的召唤》,欢迎大家来一同共襄盛举。
