Reply to comment by MolaMolaMedia in CBS News: Hotel rooms for Anthrocon sell out in 24 hours by PierogiPowered

Worked right near the convention center for a few years and it was never too out of hand. Really no more traffic than your average convention at the DLL. Just a lot of really unique foot traffic in the area haha

Hey I'll take it! Not exactly a community I'm interested in joining myself, but I god knows how much money I got during rougher days back in college doing commissions for fursonas. Not even NSFW stuff, they just pay good money in general, those folks paid my rent a couple of times. Maybe I should hand out business cards lol

That is 100% my experience as well. Worked restaurant/bar jobs down there and the anthrocon crowd was consistently among the very best tipping and most polite of any guests we would have throughout the year. They are also just a lot of fun out on the street and very approachable.
