Have we got some squeaking good news for you! For GOTF 2027, multiple hotels are offering discounted rates for our attendees. Rooms are first come first served. If you need help finding a room then reach out to our Travel Agent, Emily. You can find the details here: share.google/9W6i01RhTDEk...

Portland Pride is coming up soon, and we are looking for volunteers to help us carry our inflatables through the streets of Portland! Squeak! If you are willing to lend a paw or want to join us in the parade, then please be sure to get yourself registered! getoutthefloat.com/portland-pri...

Our deerless leader was supposed to announce which inflatables will float in Portland Pride Parade 2026. But he's an airhead. And he forgot. ...the world may never know.

Finneus! @getoutthefloat.com

We would like to wish you a Happy Pride. If you can't have a Happy Pride, then we wish you a Visible Pride. If you cannot have a Visible Pride, then we wish you a Healthy Pride. Even if you are the only one who knows about you. Perhaps, someday, there will be no closet to come out of. - Baphnedia

Post Bouncy Castle Depression (PBCD)... ....a variant of PCD where seeing bouncy castles in action cause you to think back to a time you also had in a bouncy house.

I'm at the Meet the Chair panel at Furlandua, featuring @cheetaro.bsky.social

And I totally remembered to add @sypheryan.bsky.social's contribution or boop @wyrarollo.bsky.social on bsky. ^_^

Sypheryan and Wyra were both kind enough to create the following graphics for our fundraiser!* I'm so happy for the help from both of you, and the little bits of progress being made every day or two. Help us fill the world with air and with fun; getting our own castles will help us do that.

Squeak!

If you attended GOTF this year, be sure to check your email for a link to the 2026 GOTF Feedback Form. We sent a link to email addresses registered for GOTF this year. We hope to hear from you soon! ^^

I'm honored that I was asked to come to the front of the group photo for @getoutthefloat.com this year. I'm always happy to provide my ramen to that con, and having it recognized in such a way will always mean a lot to me. 💚

Let's help @getoutthefloat.com buy new bouncy castles! shutterwolf.net/blog/2026/02...

PLEASE blow this up and get it huge (... pun not intended-) bc this is one of the coolest and most unique furcons I've ever seen and if I dont get to go to it at least once in my life because they never get quite big enough for me to pay my hotel tab, I'll actually cry.

gofund.me/4ed7b4aa8 We're looking to get some of our own bouncy castles for future years! Also watch as the donation goal inflates the more that gets donated. ;) This will give us some predictability as to what castles are available to us, if we own them ourselves. ^_^

I went to @getoutthefloat.com last weekend! Awesome small con vibes, lots of fun inflatables, cool small beachside town, and lots of good times with friends. <3 I'm definitely going again next year!

Sqk! We have the number from GOTF 2026 (and change from 2025)! We've INFLATED! Attendance: 407 (+53%) Fursuit Parade: 142 (+34%) Charity total to Sunset Park & Recreation Foundation: $4,913.11 (+21%) Breakdown on the donations by events and about our charity: getoutthefloat.com/about-our-ch...

Right now we're still trying to finish up some errands and things and stuff, we're looking to craft a feedback survey for everyone but we'd also like to wrap on GOTF 2026 first and there are some errands to do and phone calls to make. :) We thank you for joining us at GOTF; it was a rush to serve.
