I got my first every BearParty Magazine (website - cover - articles - profile) in the mail the other day. It's the fall issue and wow what a great pocket Bear surprise that was. I had never seen the rag before so when I picked it at the post office, I wasn't sure what it was since it's more of a digest sized mag, yet BearParty is filled with a ton of husky goodness with articles, cartoons, interviews, and the fall CoverBear Dave is just all kinds of gorgeous.

To get a copy, this is what they state from their site: "BearParty Magazine is distributed for free in a hand-selected list of Bear bars around the world, and online to BearParty members. We try to make enough copies available in every location, but even with more than 25,000 copies going out each quarter to hundreds of locations, we know some folks who want a copy aren't getting it. The magazine is free, but it costs us extra to mail it out to individuals. We can mail a printed copy to you quarterly (4 issues a year) in a plain envelope if you pay shipping and handling ~ $10 US ~ $20 International".

What do Bears like to do...? They like to party! Come and join Bear Party as they are offering a new and unique atmosphere where some of the hottest men in the community can celebrate their Bearness.

Bear Party features some of today's best DJs, Big and Burly Go-Go dancers, Drink Specials, Raffles, Door Prizes and great food. It's $5 at the door and a portion of the profit from the dance benefits will go to selected local not-for-profit groups such as Magnet San Francisco and Stop AIDS Project. The party will begin at 6PM on Sunday, November 30th in San Francisco at The Stud which is located at 399 9th Street at Harrison.

The fall issue of BearParty Mag (website - articles - profile) by the makers of CyberBears is now available and should be hitting your local Bear Bar. There are 25,000 copies printed so surely you can find a copy of one somewhere (cover).

From BearParty: "With the strange weather we've been having lately, there's no way to know what kind of fall we should expect. 2008 has been one of those years full of wild contrasts, from celebrations of gay marriage in California to financial and political turmoil all around the globe. Global warming is changing the face of our planet, and divided economic, political, and religious interests are battling. Somehow, as resources get tighter, the interests of disenfranchised gay people always seem to end up out in the cold. But as we struggle to see light at the end of the tunnel, let's focus on the things we can all be grateful for, such as this community of Bears and Bear-lovers we're all a part of, wherever we may be.

Whether you're on your own right now, or sharing the company of friends and lovers, our convenient Bear community event guide has listings for places to gather and beat the cold all around the world. And if you can't get away, we've also put together a warm and sunny gallery featuring a hot, furry daddy Bear named Dave. Just the sort of guy you would want to curl up with on a cold night, and maybe share a Black Russian, like the one we have featured in our Open Bar section. Then you could pop in that Elijah Black CD, kick back, and maybe check out the hot artwork by Bear artist Danyol on the wall. And hey, if the evening goes well, you might want to get some inspiration from a video or two directed by our featured backroom interviewee, Chris Roma from HotOlderMale ".

The following is from the CyberBears guys (the same good looking folks who bring you BearParty Magazine): "To celebrate the arrival of legal gay marriage in California, CyberBears is also offering a discount on CyberBears DVDs: the CyberBears Summer Love Special! Visit W69F.com today, and by using the coupon code SUMMERLOVE at checkout, you can save 50 percent on the purchase of any regularly-priced CyberBears DVD through September 15th".

The following is from BearParty Magazine: "Some 25,000 copies of the latest issue of BearParty Magazine should be hitting local Bear bars and events around the world starting this weekend. You can also read it online for free with a free membership at BearParty.com.

Just in case you haven't seen it yet, BearParty Magazine is a convenient, digest-sized, bi-monthly print publication distributed for free at hundreds of bear bars, clubs, and events across the United States and around the world. Each glossy, full-color issue includes Bear comics, Bear galleries, features on Bear-friendly events, celebrities, trends, products, and news.

In case you were wondering about that sexy daddy on the cover, we met Matty at the Mr. San Francisco Leather contest this year, where he passed on his 2007 title as Mr. San Francisco Leather Daddy. You can see some pictures from that event in this issue as well. We're also featuring part three of Ken Slater’s tips on hooking up online, an illustrated interview with fine erotic artist Minoru Terada, and a discussion about the history and the future of Bear porn in print with Scott McGillivray of 100 Percent Beef. Or if you just want to relax, why not order a Zombie from the Open Bar, and read the new episode of Frankie & Roque? Woof!".

The latest issue of BearParty Magazine is out for March and April. You can find a copy at your local Bear bar and you can also it read it online for free with a membership at BearParty.com. BearParty Mag is associated with CyberBears.

From the introduction to the current issue: "March and April are the start of the mid-year Bear season all around the world, and as usual, they're kicking it off in Europe with Bearcelona. We're doing our best to make BearParty Magazine available for free to attendees of as many events and customers of local Bear businesses as possible. As always, if you don't see BearParty Magazine somewhere you think it should be, ask the folks who run the local event, bar, or club to get in touch with us.

Our hot CoverBear this month, Alfa Bear, was discovered at IBR in San Francisco this year. We've got more pictures of him inside, along with part two of Ken Slater's series on hooking up with Bears online, some sound health advice from Frank Strona, a revealing interview with hottie Thornton Grey of Grey Rose Productions, and a detailed look at the growing Bear scene in hot and friendly Phoenix, Arizona by local reporter Kurt Von Behrman. Or if taxes have got you down, take a sip from our Open Bar column about the Income Tax Cocktail".
