A Journey for tea in Taiwan

Fri 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM · Social track · Hilton: University

A journey into tea tends to be difficult: finding one’s preferred types of tea, reputable vendors, what methods and tips and tricks there are to making tea, all of it may seem opaque. Some of this knowledge is nebulous, hindered by language barriers, and varies with an individual’s background. What one knows as a tea drinker in the west, a tea drinker in the east, a merchant, a farmer growing it, all of them have differences. Why not hear from someone who’s learn from the ground up, and been on the ground (or in this case, in the mountains) talking to all of them? Here I’ll share what I’ve learned hiking the high cloud-shrouded mountains in Taiwan, in my pursuit to find good tea.

Blood on the Clocktower

Sat 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM · Gaming track · Hilton: San Pedro

Blood on the Clocktower is an award-winning social deduction game in the same family as Mafia, Ultimate Werewolf, Secret Hitler, and more. On the stroke of midnight, you hear a bloodcurdling scream, and you rush to find that your beloved town storyteller has been murdered! Only a demon could have committed such a vile act, and they must have had minions to help them.

It falls to you, the villagers, to save the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff using logical deduction and social investigation alike. Good players learn information with their special abilities that will help them figure out who is suspicious… but watch out, because there are reasons why this information can be unreliable. Meanwhile, evil players will need to be clever, sowing misinformation and discord to protect the demon until the town is destroyed. Just remember… in Ravenswood Bluff, death is not the end.

We will be playing the beginner-friendly edition of Blood on the Clocktower called Trouble Brewing, with anywhere between 7 and 20 players welcome. See you in the Bluff!

Presenters: Elbrar, Tolp Romra

Turntable Praxis: A Live Scratch Sparring Lab

Sun 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM · Music track · Hilton: Plaza

Turntable Praxis: A Live Scratch Sparring Lab Interactive DJ Workshop — Furry-Con Edition (Moderate Feral)

Turntable Praxis is a high-energy, community-driven scratch workshop where DJs and critters of all kinds jump into short, call-and-response “sparring rounds” to explore rhythm, timing, and playful musical competition. Inspired by skratchfight-style sessions, this lab blends turntablism with the expressive, character-driven fun of the furry fandom.

Participants will get paws-on experience with portable decks, trading quick scratch patterns like friendly duels—one creature lays down a phrase, another answers back with their own twist. These micro-battles are fast, collaborative, and welcoming, designed to help beginners learn the basics while giving experienced DJs room to show off their style.

We break the motions down in approachable, intuitive language: how to move with the beat, how to build a phrase, how to respond instinctively to another performer’s pattern, and how to express your sona’s personality through sound. Whether your energy is fox-fast, wolf-bold, dragon-smooth, or raccoon-chaotic, you’ll find space to play.

Whether you step up to the decks or cheer from the den, Turntable Praxis creates an inclusive arena where music lovers, fursuiters, and curious attendees can vibe together, experiment safely, and celebrate rhythm as a shared form of expression.

All species and all skill levels welcome. Bring your paws, claws, hooves, talons, or just your curiosity.
