He was the Gaming Room Organizer at RCFM for three years, the head chef of Oklacon for three years, and in 2007 was Vice President of OAAA, the non-profit that runs Oklacon. As President of MESA, Travis wants get the con off to a solid foundation and build it into a success that can extend into other activities in later years.

PistolPup

MESA Vice President, Event Director, Costuming Coordinator

Pistolpup is both a avid fursuiter and a DJ within the fandom. His first jump into furry began around 2001. Through his various fursuits both bought and occasionally self made, he enjoys running around in suit at cons and just generally being a silly character. As a DJ both in the fandom and outside, he has brought various styles of electronic music to the likes of MFM, MFF, and Oklacon. His DJing is always looking forward to something new and unique which gives a different perspective with music into the fandom. His interest in technology often leads him to finding new tech toys, gadgets and things to generally hack at and tinker with.

Heros is a ten-year furry fan from Kansas City, MO. This year, he'll be heading up the A/V staff and serving as Head DJ for the dances.

Wild Nights Staff

RJ Fox

Security Supervisor, First Aid

RJ attended his first furry convention in 1998, and hasn't stopped since! He is a fursuiter and musician, and is a whiz at repairing electronics, especially vintage audio gear. He'll be handling security this year as well as the (hopefully unnecessary) task of first aid for the event.

Terrance Jones

Originally from the reservation near Topeka, KS, Terrence is a long-time furry fan who has graciously volunteered to spearhead cleanup efforts both during and after the convention. We're always looking for volunteers to help him out with this task as well.

Drake

Volunteer Coordinator

Originally from Topeka, KS, Drake has relocated to the Kansas City area. A volunteer coordinator should be easy to find, and Drake is that. He's tall -- really tall. Find him if you want to volunteer, or if you need volunteers.

Jackpot Coyote

Registration Coordinator

Jackpot hails from St Joseph MO and has been a part of the fandom in one form or another for more than 12 years. His current fursona is a mischevious coyote that seems to excel at getting into trouble. Jackpot is the Registration Coordinator this year for Wild Nights and will be heading up the registration and pre-reg process.

Jackpot enjoys outdoor activities, fishing, swimming and boating, as well as anything computer related.

Tayu

A well-known Furry writer, Tayu will be responsible for gathering and publishing information for the conbook and other publications of the organization as necessary. Hailing from Kansas City, Missouri, this long-time furry fan already has some great material in the works.
