Anthrocon 2013, the largest furry convention in the country, has arrived in Picksburgh, which has been its main home since '06.

An estimated 5,500 costumed conventioneers  :o have descended upon the Burgh and it is expected that about $6.2MM will be spent this year.

I don't think I've ever seen a furry convention here in Indianapolis. We do have GenCon every year though.
