It's a summer to remember up in Big Bear Lake, CA where I volunteered for a gay event. Big Bear Adventure Weekend 2009 is the first annual summer party for hairy gay men and their admirers.
I've never been to any gay event or venue ever since I came to the US the last two years, and BBAW is the perfect opening act for my orientation to the gay scene.
Along the way, I met new friends - fellow bears and their admirers.
Gay men love dogs - because they're such man magnets. :)
Bears are hot when wet. We give stiff competition to our heterosexual counterparts.
When I first laid eyes on him, my camera called on me to capture the moment. Standing beside a counter looking poised, his eyes were the epitome of unabashed calmness.
It was not until I mustered up enough courage to strike a conversation with him in the pool that I knew who he was - DJ John Le Page.
A perfect way to end the 3-day summer fun. We were so hot (I'm talking temperature) we gobbled up our ice creams before we can even think of taking pictures of it.
If you're planning on going to Big Bear, consider Big Bear Hostel. Share the room, the bath, the kitchen, the living room, and gain new friends - without hurting your wallet. It's $28/night. Can you beat that?
