What is Rocket City FurMeet? It’s an anthropomorphics or furry convention. It’s a get-together, a gathering of friends, a chance to make new friends, and much more. It’s primary purpose is to provide a place where furs can gather to have fun and be themselves; a place to be who we really are without having to worry about the mundane concerns we think about the rest of the year. In short, it is a fur meet. Amongst RCFM’s many unique traditions are its science and technology oriented themes inspired by it’s close proximity to the US Space and Rocket Center, Marshall Space Flight Center, and the Redstone Arsenal. RCFM is also well known for it’s numerous food events aimed at keeping its attendees from having to wander away from the hotel very often for meals.
