Spookybear-bound

Just spoke with Ed, NorthEast Ursamen president (and a really nice guy), about Spookybear this coming weekend in Ptown.
I'll read briefly and sign books this weekend, including (I hope) a very few copies of the brand new nonfiction anthology from Haworth Press, Bi Men. The event is Saturday 2:00pm: Bear Lust Story Hour at the Crown & Anchor, Cabaret Room.
Ed said that they are still some registrations still available! You can register – with cash only – at the Meet & Greet Friday night at the Paramount. Look for the club registration table – only 5:30 – 9:00pm.
Spookybear is a great event – lotsa bearguys come from all over New England for this – and the costume party will undoubtedly be a blast! If you're not a NEU member and plan to go this weekend “off campus,” so to speak, don't forget that registering helps the bearclub meet its expenses for the event.
