Did you guys watch David Letterman last night, with guest Kevin Smith? Smith was on the show and he spoke about the Bear community as well as A Bear's Life, a magazine in which he will be on the cover for the holiday season. I didn't get to see the show because I am up north where we have no TV (I am on dialup as well). Although I haven't watched TV in ages, I would have liked to seen that show.
As an FYI, Nard (TubeBear profile) from BearPodCast posted a special episode with Stevo Harris (shown) of A Bear's Life Magazine. They spoke about the interview that Stevo had with Kevin which lead to promoting the magazine on David Letterman.

Ok so this article on LATimes.com is a bit old - as in February 4th '07 old - but the beauty about the net is that, well, it's not like a newspaper - the page doesn't go yellow after months of neglect.
I discovered the link when I decided to go pay a visit to the Bear History Project. I was checking in on Les Wright's site to see if he had updated his site - which he hasn't unfortunately - however he did add that link to that interesting article entitled 'Bear-y Gay' (a really silly title, but I didn't make it up). It's worth the read, especially to scholars since it speaks about the study of Bear culture. However the article is also about just the awareness of Bear culture within the larger 'gay' comunity. It's a good read, even if it's a few months old.
Here's an excerpt: "'One reason I think there's been such an explosion of interest and activity around the Bear community is that a lot of gay guys, as they get older, find (they put) on weight and don't find themselves fitting the model of the svelte, young guy', said Stevo Harris, publisher of A Bear's Life magazine. 'They look around for new models - and they discover there's a Bear community in which men have real bodies, not the fantasies you see on television'".
