    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    What is The Big One?

    The Big One is a two-day meet hosted by Pawsouls and the PS Crew, created to provide a fun and safe environment for local NJ furs. With our theme being Adventure, this event is also a celebration of all the great times we’ve shared! Every meet, every hangout throughout the years has been an adventure of its own—and with The Big One, this marks our biggest one yet.

    What type of events and activities will be at The Big One?

    We’re packing the weekend with an assortment of fun activities and events, including panels, games, dances, and a Zoo (space to relax and hang out). You’ll also find an Artist Corner, a space where attendees can support local artists and vendors. We strive to make this a fun-filled, community-driven weekend!

    Wait… this kind of sounds like a con?

    Yeah, it does! That’s because many of the furries working behind the scenes have experience staffing conventions. We figured keeping a similar structure—but on a smaller scale—would make planning smoother. You know that saying… if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

    So… is it a con?

    Nope! We’re not a convention. While The Big One shares some con-like elements (such as panels, a room block, and an artist/vendor space), we are not an organization or incorporated entity.Ever visited a con’s website and noticed symbols like 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(7) at the bottom of the page? Those indicate nonprofit status. Look at the bottom of this page—you won’t see one! That’s because we’re independently run, operated by one person and a group of amazing volunteers who stepped up to help.All expenses, including the hotel space, supplies, and badges, are personally funded and handmade. Every event and activity is made possible by the cool and generous furs in this community who offered to help.

    Well… it’s pretty much a con, so I’m going to call it a con.

    And that’s totally fine! Some folks think calling us a "not-a-con" con is an insult—but hey, maybe one day we’ll become one!Another reason we don’t officially call ourselves a con is that we respect the time, money, and dedication it takes to run a real convention. It’s hard work, and conventions operate on a much larger scale than what we’re doing here. We don’t want to undermine or dismiss the effort it takes to organize a full-fledged con, and we respect those who take on that challenge to provide the community with a safe space.So while we don’t call ourselves a con, if you want to? Go right ahead. It can’t be worse than what that other NJ con is being called. 😉
