Bear Mafia Shirts are BACK!

T-SHIRTS ARE BACK! Just in time for Bear Crossing you can now own a KC Bear Mafia t-shirt with our new logo in three awesome colours! On sale now at http://kcbearmafia.org! All sizes are just $15 each and we can go from small to 5XL! These shirts have not been printed yet and if you order today we anticipate having the shirts ready by the end of the month. In order to keep costs low we are not doing on-demand printing at this time and will instead send them in batches to our local vendor. We will ship them, too! (As long as you’re in the USA!) However, once you place your order you will then be notified when your shirt is ready and can be picked up at either the next Bear Bust (First Saturday of every month) or the next KC Bear Mafia meeting (Third Wednesday of every month). You can also make arrangements to pick it up any time between. We can’t wait to see everyone wearing a Bear Mafia t-shirt around town and beyond! If you’re outside of the USA and want a shirt, contact us and we’ll see what we can do!

Weekend Update is here!

Here’s some events created by members of our community inside the KC Bear Mafia Facebook Group:

Everyone is welcome to join and share their events!

On Friday, choose between tasty tacos, tiny superheroes or a big gay sing-along. There are still tickets available for Ant-Man at Ward Parkway starting at 7:45, as well as for Big Gay Sing presented by the Heartland Men’s Chorus​, which runs throughout the weekend. Or get your taco fix with Frank at Carniceria y Tortilleria San Antonio. Then you can stop by Missie B’s​ to have a few drinks with birthday boy Rick Zikes, or head over to Industry Video Bar​ for their monthly Boy Bust.

Saturday, don’t forget that volleyball is starting at 10:00 instead of 9:00! Then Derrick Rieke and Christopher Webb are hosting one of their infamous house parties, and you’re all invited! The grill starts up at 6:00, so you can bring a dish to share and BYOB. Or stop in later, the party will be running all night! We’ll also be giving you the chance to register for Bear Crossing at the discounted price of $99 as well as a chance to win some fun prizes like tickets to a Royal’s game!
