SUMMER FUR: The fur done flewww!!!


Hola muchachos y muchachas...well, mostly muchachos. Hehe!

Last Friday, just in time to usher the gay pride weekend; I went to a big cave (better known as the Gay & Lesbian Center on 13th Street) and what do I see? BEEEAAAAARRRRZZZZZ!!!!

Big bears, little bears, skinny bears, muscle bears...bottom line, if they had fur, they were bears. Okay, maybe one or two of them were missing that vital characteristic, but WHO CARES?!

Promoter Joe Fiore outdid himself this year after FUR BALL with the ultimate bear free-for-all that included dancing, raffles, hot go-go boys, including HX go-go boy nominee Jonny Mack (okay, that whole 'voting' thing was rigged; my boy shoulda won, and who in the hell is this Geronimo anyway?!?!?!) and a sexy up-and-'cum'mer by the name of J.G. Ruffcub. Oh! That was a sight for a loveless, f*ckless, hairy cub as myself. He may have been small in stature, but the face of an angel, the body of a sexy couch potato, complete with beer/chipsn'dip gut and an ass that just made him say, "come inside, by all means"!

The place was packed, the crowd was wild, I danced, I drank and yes, I even took my shirt off to reveal the loads of fur on my back (and front). Bottom line, no hibernation required, just good furry fun.

...and yes, a certain music superstar non-bear who had passed away was given tribute. Thanks Joe.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Due to the weirdness that was last week and this weekend (as well as Gay Pride in N.Y.C.) My SUMMER FUR and my GAY PRIDE PARADE reports will be sometime this week. Stay tuned.

In Memoriam: Two (and a half) Legends.



Hola mis amigos:





On Thursday, June 25th, just as I was celebrating NOT being a f*cking barista for a day. I heard some very sad news. I heard on the wire that my favorite Charlie's Angel, Farrah Fawcett had succumbed to her longtime battle with cancer. My heart broke, but nonetheless, I had to keep working. So I paid tribute like I always do; putting a status report on my Facebook profile.





Then...and even bigger shock came at roughly 4p.m. A friend of mine almost casually mentions to me while on the internet, "Hey, Michael Jackson died". I thought it had to be a f*cking joke! This is Michael Jackson we're talkin' about here! The King of Pop! Wacko Jacko! The Moonwalker! The 'Thriller' and in some cases, the "Freak". I just couldn't believe it. I even went so far as to call my mother in Atlanta (and believe me, she's NOT a fan!) to confirm. An hour later, it was confirmed. Michael Joseph Jackson of Gary, Indiana had died at the ripe old age of 50.





Now, I'm not one to mourn or grieve, but this past Thursday will always be remembered by me as "Black Thursday". The day two beloved icons of music and film had finally moved onto the cosmos and will forever remain legends. I'll miss you and thank the stars that you were in my life for the short time you were allowed.





R.I.P. Farrah Fawcett (1947-2009) and Michael Jackson (1958-2009). I my <3>

P.S. On an even stranger note, Billy Mays, the popular Oxy Clean ad pitchman died in Tampa over the weekend. JESUS F-ING CHRIST!!! IS THERE NO END?!?!?!?

Billy Mays (1958-2009)

Folsom Street Fair on 10th Street.



Hola, hola, como esta?




Well, this rather petulant 'cub' reporter was back in the trenches, reporting all that is good in the LGBT beat. This time he came upon a doozy! The Folsom Street East Fair held this past Sunday on 28th and 10th Ave by Eagle.




I have never seen so many freaks of nature in my entire life, and yes, I know they were sexual freaks, but hey, that was the whole purpose for them being there. Though I've never been to San Francisco, I can only image what a gay couple hopped up on 'roids, wearing endless tattoos and donned in complete leather regalia has to put up with when they go to a Starbucks and order a Caramel Macchiato. He he!


Anyhoos muchachos, My camera and my testiness where put to the brink of exhaustion. So many bears, leatherdaddies, musclebunnies, tattooed and pierced loonietoons, freaks and weirdos in one setting, and those were just the guys at the door! I got to see live and in person, famous XXX porn director, Ms. Chi Chi Larue doing hosting duties. There were guys in gas masks, chained up, getting their red ass beaten like a beet, sullen, attitude you couldn't cut with a chainsaw, and the best part was...I loved every BIT OF IT!!!


I look forward to next year.


By the way...this is my favorite shot!

Group Night.

Hola Papi chulos, how goes it?

This is a very short and sweet blog just to send some love to my 'Latinos D' crew of which I meet with on Wednesday nights at 6 at the Latino Commission on AIDS at 24 W 25 St. Tonight's topic is 'Superficiality in the gay community', of which I am really looking forward to. Basically, the topic will cover whether being gay means you have to buy everything Gucci, Versace, Prada, go to David Barton or NY(Sex)C to compare abs and dick size, pop every pill or dust known to man to fit in with the prima donna set, resculpt your body so you can audition for Michael Lucas or have that Roman orgy you've been so desperate for....

Or...if you could just be a gay human being and be okay with it.

Ciao, hasta luego.

C-los.

WOOF! Vote for Jonny Mack as 'Go-Go Boy 2009' [3 days left]


Hola, hello and bienvenido:


This is your beige Boriqua 'cub' reporter reporting from the trenches of New York City gay nightlife. I'm gonna start with one of my favorite spots: VIEW on 8th Avenue between 22nd St and 21st. The party is called WOOF! and it pretty much speaks for itself. This party, spearheaded by none other than my good friend Max Scott, is a lively 'bearfest' that brings out all the ravenous, manhungry men of the mostly body hair fetish. Yes, what we like to call the 'Bears', or the big, burly, beefy men who prowl the city looking for you twinks, musclemarys, prettyboys, or who just want to rub upon each other bellies. Yes we are a gentle breed of people contrary to public myth.

Anyhoos, this reporter doesn't always do the political scene; but this is one candidate he's voting for....Bear go-go man extraordinaire: JONNY MACK! [See photo]
Doesn't he just make you want ot fall in love? Or at the very least, drop your drawers??? :-)
Well, anyway, HX Magazine has voted him one of the nominees for 'Best Go-Go Boy of 2009' and I for one say, HE MUST WIN, DAMN YOU!!!! He's promised this 'cub' a lifetime of free lapdances, so I expect to be paid in full people! [snicker snicker] All you have to do is cast your vote at www.hx.com/vote, but you must hurry, the 'booth' as it were, closes its curtain this Thursday, June 18th. The results will be revealed...sometime next week. Hey, I never said I reported with accuracy!
As for the WOOF! Party, Max knows how to throw it and throw it well. We had sexy Brazilian Luis Carlos as a headliner and I mean really, the body speaks for itself! Not to mention, those g-h-h-h-orgeous tattoos! Max will on occassion have a porn star headlining the fun, so come by every Monday nights at 7p.m., though the party doesn't officially get under way until 9. There's a $5 cover charge, but small potatoes compared to other swanky partys that I'm sure you'll all forget by evening's end.
So don't forget, Vote for Jonny, you've all got three dayas and if he wins, I'll give away one of my many lapdances. Hehe!
That is all for now. Hasta luego osos locos (o locas)

WELCOME/BIENVENIDO

Hi everyone:

My name is C-los. I'm a gruff, ruff, but oh-so-loveable 'bear' about town. The purpose for this blog is to review many of the LGBT venues I go to and to post up pictures of said events. I will be posting in English and occasionally in Espanol for all my sexy Papi bears out there. Look forward to any all feedback and criticisms (even insults!) and hope you have a good time reading them.

My best to all
Lo mejor a todos:
C-los.
