SF Chronicle Article On IBR And Bears
Written by NetBear on February 19, 2010 – 11:57 am -Who are these big furry guys that took over San Francisco last weekend? IBR and the bears got some great press coverage in the SF Chronicle today.
Bill Coulter (from left), JJ Beck and Tony Huerta co-own the well-known bear bar Lone Star Saloon in San Francisco.
“The occasion was the 16th annual International Bear Rendezvous, a five-day convention for self-identified bears, typically denim-, leather- or flannel-clad gay men with meat on their bones and hair on their faces and pretty much everywhere else.”
A very interesting article on IBR and the bears at SFGate. Give it a read.

Undercover Exbeariment Looks At Bear Culture
Written by NetBear on February 16, 2010 – 10:49 am -People love to categorize everything in their lives. And gay men, if anything, like to do it even more than straight folks. So when it comes to who’s who in the bear community, it’s no surprise to discover that we’ve got quite a list of categories for everyone. Who hasn’t been asked what kind of bear they are.
Writer Josh Rotter decided to do a little “exbeariment” and go undercover as a Grizzly Man to hunt for bears in San Francisco. He would discover for himself what the bear culture is all about.
I quickly discovered that a Bear was more of a look than a personality; the appeal was a masculinity thing - stomachs could be soft, but chests had to be hard - and it was nice to have hair to rub up against.
We’re not sure just how deep Rotter went with his research, but the article is well-written and wasn’t just a casual glance. A look from an outsider helps us to look at ourselves as a community. You have to at least check out the Field Guide reference chart that attempts to illustrate how we like to categorize.

Kevin Smith Is On Off And On For IBR San Francisco
Written by NetBear on February 12, 2010 – 2:45 pm -Leave it to a straight bi-curious man to create major drama for the gay men putting on International Bear Rendezvous this year. (How’s that for funny a turn-about of stereotypes?) Kevin Smith was headlining the Smodcast show at IBR until yesterday afternoon when he canceled his appearance. But it was just straight drama. As of this morning he’s back on board.
Speaking of Kevin on board, we tweeted that the Kevster was sighted by a member of the Bearotic Army hustling onto a Southwest flight from LA with his fancy Louis Vuitton bag. Here’s some photographic evidence. Can you spot Kevin Smith’s head in this photo? Hint: He’s not wearing a ball cap.
We can’t wait to see Kevin at the Smodcast with director Malcolm Ingram!
