The weather is getting cold outside here in Manhattan, however the fur will be keeping everyone warm and toasty inside on September 30th when iconic bear event Furball returns to Manhattan.  The fall edition will take place at a familiar location, Stage 48, and will once again prove why this event is a force to be reckoned with in the bear & gay community.

Furball, which recently celebrated 12 years of hairy studs, gogo dancers, great music and more, is steamrolling through Stage 48 two weeks from tomorrow with some big things planned throughout the night.  DJ Jack Chang, who is based in Frankfurt, will be keeping the crowd lively and going throughout the night, with his eclectic mix of house music and techno.  I'm a big fan of his and can't wait to see what he is preparing for the masses.

The event is hosted by yours truly, as well as big names in the bear and gay community in and out of Manhattan, including Arsenio Amadis, Paul Short & Daddy Ersin.  There will also be a ton of hot gogo cubs and bears, who will be rocking the platforms in their amazing gear for everyone's pleasure and enjoyment.

Sponsors for the event include Modern Bear, BigMuscleBears.com, BEAR411, BEARWWW, Grommr, Chasabl, Scruff, NY Bear Den, & Bear Skn, and is brought to you by the amazing Joe Fiore.  This is definitely an event not to miss.  Even if you don't live in NYC, you should take the trip and see what all the fuss is about.  Tickets are still available!  For more information, check out their official Facebook page.
