ABOUT BEAR CAFE: Founded in April 2003, we are a place
where all Bears, Cubs, and our Admirers are welcomed - to
meet, socialize, play games, entertain and learn from each
other in a comfortable atmosphere. BC is an alcohol-free,
noise-free and attitude-free space; where on average 60 -
90 attendees (to date) can kick-back, relax, and share some
laughs with woofy folks of all ages, races, types, and
interests.
In addition, BEAR CAFE is a showcase for Bear culture:
Music, Song, Art, Photography, Film, Video, Writing and
Theater, and those creating it. In our 16 months of
operation we've shown the talents of
- Photographers: Chris Baker, Michio Hoshikawa, and
Woolsrake Photography (Jim Kempster);
- Artists: BearoticArt (Neil Bruce), Tony Brown, Damian
Costilla, and Rob Clarke;
- Singers: Max Christopher, Freddy Freeman, Tommy Johns,
and Yolanda; and writer Ron Suresha. We are scouting
out established and new homo-masculine culture creators
for Fall 2005 and Spring 2006 BC events; if interested,
please contact:
