Who was it on my friends list that mentioned Uffington Horse yesterdayish? *scratches head* I can't seem to recall. Anyway, apparently "Uffington Horse with Heather Alexander" is playing at Further Confusion in January. (http://www.furtherconfusion.org/fc2005/)

Oh, also... A furry can be anything from "someone who likes a certain animal enough to enjoy dressing up as one and/or playing one as a character" through "someone who idenitifes very strongly with an animal, perhaps with a spirit-guide or totem-type relationship" up to "someone who believes their soul is actually not human, but in fact an animal soul". In this last area there is overlap with "otherkin", who are people who believe themselves to be at least partly non-human (although not always on account of being a reincarnated whatever). The majority of otherkin are elves and fae, with a large contingent of dragons too, although there's also a somewhat separate draconic community just as there's a separate furry/were community and a separate vampiric community. (Members of either will sometimes denounce the concept of otherkin as being ridiculous because they themselves "are at least things which really exist". Pot-kettle-black, I say.)
