DJ Application
Thank you for your interest in helping us put on this amazing convention. For many people one of the most important parts of a fur con is the dances at night. We need amazing DJs to put on these amazing dances. We have two main dances, Friday and Saturday nights, then we have a dead dog dance on Sunday night. Being a DJ is an investment of your heart and soul, time, plus the many other costs associated, and we understand that. We would like to offer all DJs who are selected to perform complimentary registration.
