What 8 Years Will Do

January 28, 2008 · 1 Comment

The Bear HandbookI mentioned this book in the Pilot Episode of the Cubs Out Loud Podcast.  Years ago I bought this book as I started learning about the Bear Community.  I have to say that the Bear Handbook was a great representation of what Bears are all about.  As Ray Kampf explains in his introduction, this book was not to be taken seriously.  However there is truth in those lies.  I had loaned my Bear Handbook to a friend of mine several years back and didn’t get it back before he moved from the Twin Cities.  I just recently bought the book again and am reading it.  Knowing what I know about the Bear Community now, the book is out of date.  When the author primary refers all his bear brethren to the BML, Resources for Bears, and talks about Bear Magazine and American Bear as the Bear Magazines, you know there needs to be a volume 2.  Technology has grown to encompass more options for the bear community.  This includes the many podcasts like mine, the “New” bear sites, bear runs, club mailing list, text messaging, chat clients.  I may sound like I’m bashing The Bear Handbook, but I cannot give it anything lower than a 5.  For the year 2000 for which this book was published, it was a wonderful representation of the time.  Now if only Ray would write an updated version.  If you’re a bear, cubs, otter, chaser, et al, you should get this book and have it in your archive.

COL @ TBRU?

January 26, 2008 · Leave a Comment

tbrulogo We just started up and now comes a major decision in my life.  TBRU or not TBRU?  That is the question.  Tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and lubrication . . . . okay so that isn’t working.  In any case, as of today there is only only  more days to register for TBRU and get the run package at $90.  The TBRU website is stating that the host hotel is already full, but one overflow hotel is just on the other side of the parking lot and the other is only a block away so register and get your hotel rooms now.  The only problem now is to figure out if I should go or not.

Anyone want to buy me a Black Macbook?

PLANitGAY.com: For All Your GLBT Travel Needs

January 21, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The Gay Travel Blog and UTalkMarketing are reporting that a new GLBT travel site is about to be launched, PLANitGAY.com.  The site’s goal is to be the most comprehensive GLBT Travel site in North America and Europe.  One of the neat features of this site is that any GLBT bar, restaurant, club, hotel and any other venue can make their own page on the site, however, it must be updated at least once a month to stay active.  The idea is to make sure that the locations are always accurate.  This will help travelers if the business moves or goes out of business.  Right now the site isn’t up yet, but it said it was just registered.  So, if you’re heading somewhere in Europe or North America, check this site out for all your gay travel needs.

iTunes Subscription

January 19, 2008 · 1 Comment

WordPress is not liking me. For some reason the iTunes Subscription link keeps being reformating it. The link is: itpc://www.podshow.com/feeds/cubsoutloud.xml. It’s basically the RSS feed link but it starts with itpc instead of http. So I hope everyone can get subscribed. Now to figure out the Zune One Click and submitting to the Zune Marketplace.

Update: I got both subscription links up now.

Update: Okay, WordPress doesn’t like “itpc” at the beginning of a URL so you’ll just have to paste the link into iTunes to subscribe. Or just put the address above up. This will be fixed once the show is listed on the iTunes Store.

Update: Okay, so the Zune Subscription link isn’t working either.  I took it off for now as I don’t think many people use the crappy ass Zune software anyways, I’ll get more podcatching links up eventually.
