Bears prowled through the concrete forest when thousands of guys from around the world attended the annual Urban Bear weekend in New York City on May 5th. Big and hairy men and their friends and admirers had a blast with a weekend of partying that celebrated "Bears" "Cubs" "Otters" and all exciting hirsute maleness. I loved attending the Bear Fair on Little West 12th Street between Washington Street and 10th Avenue in the Meat Packing District of the West Village in New York City. There were NYC's finest food trucks, artists & craftsmen, community groups, fetish vendors, a pie eating contest and a big belly contest. All this with live entertainment including Homo Erectus Boylesque with Matt Knife and Brooklyn Irons! Myself and Lady Bunny, who spun tunes as the event DJ, were the only "girls" but we held our own among all the hot guys. Had a blast with Anu Singh, Steve Schulman, Mr. Rawhyde-Jed Ryan, Mr. Boots and Saddle, model Eric Alan, photographer Rob Ordonez, fashion designer Geary Marcello, promoter George Hains, John-John Onyx, LeNair Xavier and many others.
