Marcus Washington, co-anchor of NBC Bay Area’s morning show, “Today in the Bay,” served as emcee and said the event held significance for him as a native of Memphis, the city where Dr. King was assassinated in 1968. “The reason it’s so important for me to be part of an event like this is that the fight that Dr. King led is still going on today. People are still fighting for the right to just basically have a nice life,” he said. “From everything we see on the news, It’s a fight that’s not over.”.

SAN JOSE — By Sunday morning, after partying all weekend in heavy, head-to-toe animal costumes, many FurCon attendees outside the convention center downtown had scaled down to just their tails or paws, As much as dressing up like a plush, cartoon version of a wolf, fox or ferret has become an identity, or an alter ego, even “Furries” need a break, “The struggle is real, man,” said us 10.5 dr martens ballet flats 90s flats purple metallic holographic shoes air cushion sole round toe doc martens footwear . eu Jordan Leach, 24, who swung around his thick blue, black and white tail as he slid into a booth at The Flames restaurant Sunday morning for “Bottomless Mimosas.” If he were wearing his outsize fox-coyote hybrid head, he wouldn’t be able to eat anything bigger than a cracker and would need an extra long straw for a drink, Still, he said, “even when I’m not in full fur suit, I’ll always have my tail on.”..

After a weekend of parades, poker and dodge ball tournaments, the 20th annual FurCon in San Jose that has attracted some 3,500 Furries is wrapping up after its “Dead Dog Dance” Monday night. While outsiders might still find the idea of adults assuming an animal persona a bit bewildering, the Furries say they’re not that much different than other costumed subcultures, like Trekkies dressing up like Klingons and Cosplay fans dressing up like Game of Thrones characters. Some are even cross-promoting, like a group of Klingons did at the Marriott Hotel on Saturday night. Like other sponsors, the Klingons handed out free drinks from their room on the 4th floor, the “party floor” at the hotel, which installed wall-to-wall clear plastic tarps spanning every room and hallway.

As much as FurCon has been a non-stop party — and stigmatized by the sexualized nature of us 10.5 dr martens ballet flats 90s flats purple metallic holographic shoes air cushion sole round toe doc martens footwear . eu some of the activities — Furries say it is a welcoming place for people who feel marginalized or unaccepted by larger society, “I come from a conservative family, I’ve struggled with my sexuality, This has helped me come to terms,” said a 30-year-old East Bay man, who only felt comfortable giving his Furry name, Ozzy Koala, “Radical self expression is a big part of it, Once people are putting on animals suits, everything else is out the window.”..

Furries have attracted many from the LGBTQ community, as well as those on the autism spectrum, he said, who are looking for accepting, creative communities. “There are a lot of Transfurs,” he said of transgender Furries. “It starts with putting on a costume that is literally a different gender. People get to feel what that’s like for the first time.”. For another convention goer from the East Bay, also uncomfortable giving his real name, “this was the social environment that gave me the ability to say I’m OK with myself.”.

Many Furries became captivated by anthropomorphism — giving human characteristics to animals — as children by watching Disney’s talking animal classics, like Bambi and Lion King, or watching Looney Tunes’s Bugs Bunny, “When I was a kid, I was like, us 10.5 dr martens ballet flats 90s flats purple metallic holographic shoes air cushion sole round toe doc martens footwear . eu I wish I was an animal, damn it,” said Leach, who also goes by the name “Foyote.” “Just think how it would be to be an animal and be able to talk.”, Not everyone at the convention wears an animal costume, which can become overwhelmingly hot, The custom, plush costumes can be expensive, between $2,000 and $10,000, Some are equipped with flashing LEDs that light up tails and make eyes glow, and liquid cooling systems inside..

In much of the world, tea is an everyday beverage, whether you’re slurping boba on the go or settling into a steaming cup of chai. And if the growing presence of eclectic tea shops here in the Bay Area is any clue, tea may soon give coffee a run for its caffeine. Overall, tea in the United States is shifting from the upraised-pinky demographic to a more mainstream sip, says Victoria Boyert, a certified tea specialist and owner of Saratoga’s Tipping Pot by Satori Tea Co. “Tea is the perfect conduit to connect,” Boyert says. Between the steeping of tea leaves and the sheer ritual of it, tea “is naturally slower paced than coffee. So tea is the perfect counterpart to the modern age.”.

But tea is also incredibly current — and Instagram-worthy, Just step into a bright, yellow-and-white hued Happy Lemon, the China-based fast-casual tea cafe with nine locations in the Bay Area, including Berkeley and Sunnyvale, There, millennials stand in long lines until 10 and 11 p.m, on weekends for a fix of — wait for it us 10.5 dr martens ballet flats 90s flats purple metallic holographic shoes air cushion sole round toe doc martens footwear . eu — creamy, salted cheese tea, And then there’s the creativity at home-grown spots, such as Pleasanton’s Inklings or San Jose’s Tea Lyfe, where laptops mingle with open mic nights, Husband-and-wife owners Candy and Caleb Bui opened Tea Lyfe in 2014 as an alternative to typical milk-tea shops..
