2. Bob Drake To Perform At FurFright!

Bob Drake (musician and anthro artist extraordinaire) and his Cabinet Of 
Curiosities will grace the main stage at FurFright with their unique 
brand of musical Halloween weirdness! Their music was described by one 
critic as, "Way off-kilter Americana, singer-songwriter, fingerstyle, 
alt-rockabilly pretentious crap!" But what they neglected to mention is 
that most of the songs are about hauntings, death, abandoned farmhouses, 
shrieking statues, accursed cellars, shunned graveyards, things in the 
attic, and doomed séances . . . and that the personages in the songs 
generally end up dead, undead, or in a madhouse! Despite this seemingly 
grim subject matter, Bob's music generally has a strangely bright, sunny 
character, and as an entertainer he always leaves the crowd laughing at 
the encroaching horrors.

Do NOT miss Bob Drake's Cabinet Of Curiosities performance Saturday, 
October 18th at FurFright! It's an event that will haunt you the rest of 
your life!
