Head on over to catch up on the latest Bear With Me cartoon. From Bruin: (articles - profile): "In this latest installment, Paul gets a taste of what he's gotten himself into, as he returns to the life of thankless drudgery he left to start his business in Wisconsin. While we see a brief spark of the big Bear we know and love, it is quickly squelched as Paul realizes he came back to his old life willingly. Have all Paul's dreams died? Will Andy come for him? Will Paul decide to leave with Andy, or stay in Pennsylvania?".

Now if you've ever been curious to see a recent picture of cartoonist Bruin (TubeBear profile), creator of Bear With Me, then click here and you'll see him along with a small clan of equally good looking men who make up what is known as the Perfect Harmony Men's Chorus. These 25 gents make up the gay-friendly men's chorus for Madison, the capital of Wisconsin.

PHMC has recently released a CD of their 10th anniversary concert which was held this past summer. On this CD you even get to hear a little solo from Bruin in the arrangement of 'Everything Possible'. Proceeds from the sales of this CD will help finance PHMC's trip to GALA which will be held in Miami in July.

In the past few weeks, things have been a bit surreal over at Bear With Me. Now for those who do not know what 'Bear With Me' is, it's a cartoon which is updated every Monday, and it's now reached the level of 'soap opera' for me as I need to find out what's going to happen next. In this week's update, it's confirmed to me that nobody is dreaming and Ed the supposedly gay Bear bartender actually swept Constance off her feet and... slept with her - Constance being the mother of Andy, Andy being the hero of Bear With Me (he's more of an anti-hero)... phew... anyhow... if you've never seen the cartoon, start with #1 and watch the evolution. Guaranteed you'll get hooked.

And it's 2 for 1 Monday as Bruin also updated his Bear Crossing cartoon which he creates exclusively for the Four Lake Bears, a Bear group in Madison, Wisconsin.

Another article about cartoonist Bruin (TubeBear profile) ~ that's 2 articles in a row... what can I say, the man is important to me.

Anyhow... I was checking out the little 'shout-outs' on the Inside Bear website and I read a posting from Bruin saying that his Bear Crossing had been updated. 'Bear Crossing...?' I thought to myself... 'what in the heck was that?'. So I did a quick Googlin' and there it was - Bear Crossing, a cartoon that Bruin does exclusively for the Four Lake Bears, a group of Bearish guys from and about Madison, the capital of Wisconsin. The cartoons are uber cute and it seems that he adds a new one every month. It's now another page for me to bookmark.

Have you visited Bear With Me at all in the past 5 years...? I'm sure you've seen Bruin's cartoon if you're a Bear lover. Well here's a thumbnail of the good looking hairy husky cartoonist (pictured)... but he also loves to act and he has a singing voice to boot. The following is info about his chorus and their upcoming show: "June 2nd marks the 10th anniversary of Perfect Harmony Men's Chorus.  We are celebrating the event with a concert at Mills Hall on the UW-Madison campus in Wisconsin.  We have commissioned two pieces, 'Tomorrow, God Willing', by Elizabeth Alexander, and 'Things That Never Die' by Craig Carnahan, and will be debuting these songs that evening with the composers in attendance.

Perfect Harmony Men's Chorus is Madison's gay and gay-friendly men's chorus. Its singers and directors, and accompanist, and non-singing members serve in a volunteer capacity. With a singing membership of around 35 men, the chorus strives to provide gay bisexual, transgendered and gay friendly men with opportunities for the performance of choral music in a supportive and affirming environment".
