It's going to be my first time...Teach me how?

Once I finish my fursuit, I'm taking him to the Phoenix ComiCon. The problem is... I have no idea how to act in a fursuit! I want to be able to stay in character even when I'm not posing or anything! Also, any tips for a "cherry" fursuiter would be very very helpful! Much thanks in advance, y'all! -blep-

Firstly YouTube conventions like eurofurence or anthrocon as they have 'classes' on acting in suit. They're pretty good. I guess also get a feel of what your character is like. Also you're going to kb get aches in your legs. Just accept that now ;p
Also watch the first time at a con videos and appreciate how overheated and blind you will be in that thing. Will you be going with someone who can mind you?

Actually, I've been told by my main group of friends that if i ever go to comicon in a fursuit that I'd be disowned... it sounded like a joke but I'm not too sure! 0_0

Haha I don't know about that you see fur suits there all the time! I mean really it's where it started. In fact in London comicon they have a dedicated meeting time and space inside the venue you can find on the comic con website.
To add a bit of fun you could dress up your fursuit like it's cosplaying!

Oh my, my, my! I hadn't thought of that at all! It'd take a bit of extra work to make the separate cosplay but that'd be a boatload of fun! Thanks so much for your tips! :3
