March Portland Furbowl Highlights

 

Around 17 furries braved the late March winter storm on March 24th, 2024 to go to Spare Time Entertainment in Portland to enjoy an evening of bowling. The event was hosted and funded by Luminous Limulus for the benefit of the Maine furry community. There may have been some minor issues (such as the electricity going out) but that didn't stop the ones from coming out to have a good time! Here's to coming warmer weather!

"The real highlight I'd say was being able to be around everyone; mingle, have fun, and participate in fursuit antics" -Caddy

"It was fun meeting new locals and talking to everyone and seeing some Southern Maine Furs I hadn't seen since Anthro New England, like Lordy and Everest" -Roki

"I enjoyed being able to be with everyone. Walking up the accessible ramp with my friend, paw and hand, was nice. I liked being able to dance with my friend, Nocturne, too" -Kaiser

See everyone next furbowl!

March Fursuiter Spotlight: Roki 

How Long Have You Been Fursuiting?

I have been suiting since September of 2023

How did you get into fursuiting?

It was actually Kai who bought a partial suit at PineFurCon and put it up for sale and I jumped on it.

What made you want to get into fursuiting?

It just looked super fun and I get to be a big red dog and bark at people. I get to have fun in a way that I can’t have when I’m just a normal human.

What got you into the furry fandom?

I remember Bash and I back when we first started dating and he mentioned it and it just developed over time. The big thing that did it was Etsy having line bases for sonas and then I got one and modified it for Roki.

What Do You Enjoy Most About Fursuiting?

It’s just dumb fun to run around and interact as a big dog guy thing. It’s fun to be able to be silly and not have to worry about it.

Is there anything you’d like to change about your suit and if so, what would you change?
Nothing. I like it how it is, honestly. It was missing feet paws and arm paws, but I have those now. I could get a body suit, but I’m happy the way it is and I’m grateful for having it. I wish I knew who made it, though, as I got it second hand.

What is your Favorite Memory Fursuiting?

Probably just hanging out with friends at Anthro New England and being able to be with everyone and interact and let loose to have fun. Being in Boston, in a foreign environment [for me], as well sort of helped. It was almost like disassociating by being in a different environment and being able to really have fun and not worry about it.

Is There Any Lore to Your Fursuit/Sona?

A lot of people think that my fursuit name is Roki, but it’s actually Moyer. When my friend Kai sold it to me, I misunderstood the name and thought it was Moyer and it just stuck. It was by accident how I got his name but I like it.

What Does Your Suit Mean to You?

Moyer is the other side to me that I don’t get to be otherwise. He’s the more relaxed and fun side that’s more carefree.
