Are there certain moon phases that are better by which to hunt Bigfoot? Well, while you ponder that question, dealt with throughout this posting, think about how much the museum needs your help.

Coming very soon, the “Bene-foot” on November 22nd, in downtown Portland…Maine. On Saturday night. Empire Dine and Dance Club is at 575 Congress Street. If you are a student with an ID, you get in for $15. It’s a good cause and you can laugh too.

Bring your cryptozoology books and get an autograph, if you want from me and/or the comedians. Or not. Just chill, if that’s what you want to do. No snow is in the forecast. The sky will be clear and the moon will look like this on November 22nd, over Portland, Maine:

Advance ticket sales end today, Thursday, November 20th, at midnight. Non-student advance tickets are $22, regular tickets are $25 at the door. For more details, see here.

Much thanks again to all the artists.

BTW, some researchers say the best moon to have in the sky is the New Moon, when searching for Sasquatch. It looks like this:
