The Arf Society, Zappa's only and
most active fan club.
Frank Zappa was a great admirer of the painter Donald "Roller"
Wilson, and so the famous American artist was able to adorn
three Zappa album covers with his dog Patricia during the master's
lifetime. Naturally, the members of the Arf Society, based in
Bad Doberan, Germany, and the world's only Zappa fan club, have
also become collective "Roller" fans. In return, Wilson was
very impressed by the Arf Society's activities and allowed the
club to use Patricia for his logo, etc. Regarding their activities:
Since 1990, the Arf Society has organized an annual festival
in Bad Doberan called "Zappanale," featuring exclusively Zappa
cover bands (this year in the first week of August). More information
