As Cryptomundo readers know, especially from a recent blog entry, the Bates cryptozoology and art exhibition has moved to Kansas City, Missouri.

Shown above, Marc Swanson’s White Yeti (a/k/a “Killing Moon”) is part of the exhibition, Cryptozoology: Out of Time Place Scale.

The collection – from art from artists from around the world to nonfiction evidence & artifacts from my cryptozoology museum – opens in Missouri with a mini-symposium:

A Cryptozoology Roundtable Conversation

Date: October 26, 2006

Meanwhile, in another part of Missouri, on Monday night, October 30, 2006, I’ve been invited to give a talk at the “Monster Mash” being held at Missouri State University, 901 South National Ave, Springfield, Missouri.

I’ll be discussing cryptozoology – with some attention to Momo – during an hour long talk at MSU’s PSU Food Court’s “Monster Mash,” at 7:00 PM Central time.
