Special Guests Events
Each guest will have at least one scheduled event during The Infurmary. Don’t forget about our “Meet the Guests”
event 3pm on Friday at the Main Stage. Each of our Guests of Honor will be having a Kaffeeklatsch; a smaller, more

Carlos room in the Mariott. Matthew Ebel will be entertaining you 10am on Saturday in the Blossom Hill I&II rooms,
also in the Mariott.
Matthew Ebel considers himself a “piano rocker,” having
played the piano since age 5 and discovered electronic music

venues since then.

Community Events
There will be several convention-related events going on during The Infurmary itself. While not sponsored by
Further Confusion, some of them are most likely of interest to you all during your stay.
Frolic is a monthly furry event that normally happens in a
popular San Francisco nightclub called The Stud. It is best known
for a great atmosphere and music by some of the best furry
deejays the Bay has to offer. During Further Confusion itself,
Frolic will be held at the Brix Nightclub, 349 South First Street,
San Jose starting at 9pm Saturday the 14th. Cover fee is $5 or free
for those in a fursuit.
The deejays and veejays performing are: Earvelvet, Recca,
Tekfox, Clane Decosta, Bucker Fuskyote, NeonBunny, Skibitand,
MaliePono.
