Bear With Me

Forrest — 8/20/2008 10:43:59 AM

Things are getting really heavy for Paul, ever since he left Andy to go back home to his family. Looks like he's drowning in the meanness that is surrounding him.

From Bruin (profile) the artist of Bear With Me: "Remember the indignities of high school, the first time someone shouted, 'Faggot!' as they drove past? Bad enough when they came from classmates; imagine poor Paul enduring them from his own family! It's all beginning to wear on the big guy, and one wonders how long he can hang on. Fear not, faithful readers. Help is on the way! Andy is mounting a rescue mission even as I write. Stay tuned. The fur will fly".

Hairrison ~ Bear Week

Forrest — 8/20/2008 10:18:16 AM

The Hairrison Street Fair (website - poster) is coming once again, it's just around the corner, and it's gonna be big. It's their 5th year doing this and it's all taking place in San Francisco over the Labour Day Weekend ~ August 31st.

Not only that, but it's gonna be Bear Week soon as well. A full 10 days of Bear bustin' events starting August 23rd and running right thru until September 1st.

"The Hairrison Street Fair and San Francisco Bear Week are organized by PrideWorks, a California non-profit corporation. It is a celebration of Bear community pride but is welcoming to all - we like to say 'The Bears are having a party and we want everyone to come!'. The fair and events during the week support different LGBTI community organizations. The fair raises more money per capita than any other gay fair in San Francisco. We also organize Team Bear (articles) which raises funds for AIDS services. Last year the team raised $150,000 and our goal this year is to raise over $250,000!".

Bear Boutique

Forrest — 8/20/2008 9:26:29 AM

The Bear Boutique website is not quite ready... yet... but they are planning on opening up shop really soon (as in the next few days). This online shop is run by 2 hot gentlemen who live in France ~ Axel (profile on TubeBear - Thorn) and Pascal (Pakko). They have come up with a real cute design for t-shirts and baseball caps and, realizing that there is no one in France working on Bear goods, that they would take the initiative and start something up.

Axel and Pascal were in Montreal not too long ago, and we (Roger and I, Bob Forrest) met up with them for an afternoon. We headed into Chinatown, ate, and had a few laughs. The visit was short but we did take a few snapshots (snap #1 - snap #2 - snap #3 - snap #4 - snap #5 - snap #6 - snap #7) of our afternoon together, and Roger is going to model some of the t-shirts for their website, and I'll add the pics up once they are ready.

Woof Bistro ~ Mr. Montreal Bear

Forrest — 8/19/2008 10:50:51 PM

The island of Montreal is going to see its very 1st Mr. Bear contest (or it's the very 1st one that I have heard of). It is going to take place at the Woof Bistro on Ste Catherine street on August 30th.

Woof Bistro is a brand new bar/resto which opened its doors on June 20th (article) to fine food and whatever you fancy to drink. And if you haven't been to the Gay Village in Montreal this year, well they did something great by closing off a huge chunk of Ste Catherine for pedestrians only, and Woof Bistro has a great terrace for those who enjoy fresh air while looking Bearishly sexy.

So, if you think you have what it takes to be the very first Monsieur Bear Montréal (French poster) then make sure to drop by the Woof Bistro, and if you have any questions or comments, contact the cute and cuddly owner Paul (profile).

Mike Dreyden

Forrest — 8/19/2008 7:50:10 PM

It was just last week that we got some news from Mike Dreyden (blog - MySpace - article) and he is sending in some more news about his latest movie he's starring in. It's entitled '264 in Progress' and it's made for Smoking Hunks (whoever said it's best to have a smoke after sex never visited this site... it's all about having a smoke 'during' sex). The video will be up soon, and it co-stars Manuel Torres (website). Here are some pics from the shoot (pic #1 - pic #2 - pic #3 - pic #4 - pic #5).

Bear Montreal

Forrest — 8/14/2008 10:54:24 AM

Here are the recent photos of Alain, aka BearMontreal (profile). As I mentioned in the preview, BearMontreal is this 6'2'' dark and handsome Bear, born in Europe and has been in Canada for over a decade. He's trilingual (English, French and Italian) and he is of Italian descent.

He is a friend of Roger's (gallery - profile), and while chatting on TubeBear, BearMontreal wanted to have some photos of him taken. He mentioned me (Forrest - profile) and that I took pictures, so off we went into downtown Montreal for an impromptu photo shoot. It was already late so we were only able to get one set of photos in, however Alain stated he would really like a set of pics taken of him in the shower. Altho it's not been scheduled yet, we will be getting together in the near future to fulfill this shower scene.

Bear Arabia

Forrest — 8/13/2008 2:24:35 PM

Bear Arabia is organizing their 'goodbye to summer' party which will be taking place from October 8th thru the 12th in Beirut. They prior events were hugely successful so they decided to organize this 2nd Bear Arabia International Weekend. This time, the event is going to be divided into 2 countries, so not only will you be visiting Lebanon but Syria as well.

This young energetic group has only been around for 2 years, and even during all the tension with Israel and the bombings, they went ahead and formed what is now known as the Lebanon Bears. They have been collecting donations to help support 450 kids in need around their country. Once there was some peace in Lebanon, they launched their 1st Bear Arabia weekend and it was a success, and they are expecting nothing less with their upcoming run.

Bear With Me

Forrest — 8/13/2008 2:06:06 AM

The following is from Bruin (articles - profile), cartoonist of Bear With Me: "Ever been in one of those situations where you work your butt off on a project, only to have someone else get all the credit? Seems like Paul's in one of those set-ups with his family. It's not that Paul isn't doing anything, but rather he's not doing the 'right' things to garner his father's attention and approval. Lucky Karl; as the family Jock, he gets all the acclaim, while Paul, relegated to household duties, gets diddly. How much of this abuse will Paul endure before he snaps? Is Andy going to mount a rescue, and if so, when? Stay tuned to the answers to these and other questions in upcoming episodes of Bear With Me".

Mike Dreyden

Forrest — 8/13/2008 12:34:40 AM

His name is Mike Dreyden (photo) and he's one hot muscle Bear Cub from Brooklyn, New York. Tight 'n hairy in all the right places. Mike has a super fun blog page which he has been updating regularly, and he has a MySpace page as well. He states that his own website will be going live by the holidays so make sure to keep an eye out for that.

He is a dancer, performer, a go-go BearBoy for the band Nekked who perform, and he is also becoming an international porn star with roles in movies like House of Leather (by Bear Omnimedia - cover - articles) and All Out Assault (by Knight Stick Films). I just read on his blog that his reign as King Stink of the pits is coming to an end soon and that he'll be passing his crown to the next winner... that's gotta be something to see... I know a lot of guys really dig pits so try and make it to Uncle Ming's in NYC if you can.

Ursus Planet

Forrest — 8/12/2008 10:52:29 PM

Ursus Planet (which translates as Bears' Planet... which sounds a lot like PlanetBears... which is very cool) will be conducting their next event on the beach in Sitges, Spain from September 19th thru the 23rd.

"Ursus Planet was conceived and created in 2002 in Sitges by Manuel Garcia (Get Real Productions). His main goal with Ursus Planet has been to provide the best possible events, socials and entertainment for Bears, Cubs, Chubs, Daddies, their friends and admirers, all over the world".

Steve McGranahan

Forrest — 8/12/2008 7:26:53 PM

Ever since that redneck show 'Blue Collar TV' with 'Larry the Cable Guy', it seems that people have embraced their inner-redneck. Before, calling someone a redneck was somewhat impolitically incorrect, even an insult, but now people want to be known as a redneck.

Take Steve McGranahan, for example. Every time he introduces himself, he says "hi, I'm Steve McGranahan and I'm the world's strongest redneck". He probably is... especially when he likes to twist horseshoes into pretzels, bend iron rods without breaking a sweat, and he enjoys biting phone books and decks of cards (seems he also has the strongest teeth for a redneck).

Need to see more of this truly loveable character? Then check out his website for some pics and videos, then his MySpace page, which has even more photos of him.

Bear Montreal

Forrest — 8/12/2008 10:12:03 AM

This is just a quick note to mention that I will soon be updating the Gallery as well as the Video section. First off, in the gallery section, I will be adding BearMontreal's pictures in a couple of days. He is one seriously tall, dark and handsome Bearish man with a European French accent, however he also speaks English and yet... he's of Italian descent... there's just all kinds of possibilities there. Make sure to message him.

Also, in the video section, I am working on the 'Ben's Hotel' video, starring Ben Goodman (gallery - profile articles). It's taken me a bit longer than I expected simply because I have been pulled right, left and center. However I am working on this week and I should have it ready by Friday.

TubeBear Ad

Forrest — 8/12/2008 9:44:09 AM

We here at the TubeBear factory have come out with our very own commercial ad. It's cute, simple, and stars my incredibly handsome and huggable partner Roger (gallery - profile). Click the video below or you can see it here from our YouTube page BearGhetti (make sure to subscribe).

Our ad is part of our Google campaign. We're really been working quite hard in getting TubeBear to becoming the #1 Bear site. And the whole point of this ad is to make you cute guys aware of our incredible features, such as RIMs (Recorded Instant Messages) - instead of typing messages like you do with all the other Bear sites, here you can use your webcam and you can send a video message... which is, I would say, 10 to the power of 'n' more fun than an old typed message (to learn how to RIM, visit my profile page - Forrest - and from my list of videos, check out 'How to RIM').

Our next commercial will be able LiveStreaming. We are having our first LiveStreaming party on Monday August 25th (article) so make sure to be here armed with your webcam. We are hoping to see as many people login as possible. It should be a lot of fun.

And 'California Bears' - we've got over two hours as well of sweaty Bears getting it on at the Lone Star in San Francisco and all over LA.
