As some of you might know Hibearnation is a bear run held in St. Louis, MO, every November. This year the dates are November 12-15. The theme for this year's event is ALL-STARS (so in other words, everything sports). We are planing some interesting events like a tailgate party, jock strap after hours parties, and much, much more. I am the chairman of this years event, all proceeds we earn go to our charities, Food Outreach, Bethamy's Place, and Camp Hope. Our schedule of events should be finalized within the next few weeks. You can find more information and register on our website at http://showmebears.org/HiBearNation.html. We have already announced a way for you to get your run free (details on the site), and plan on announcing many more, very exiting events over the next few weeks, so check back often.

While my boy and I were in Houston for the LUEY Weekend, woofer wooferstl was asked to be on Bearpodcast.com and included a piece about Hibearnation. Get the Podcast Here.

We would love to have you join us!

Well the Mr. Missouri Weekend is over. It was a great time, even though the attendance on Sunday was a bit light, fun was still had by all. It was great to get out and meet some new people. I was so pleased that my boy woofer wooferstl, was feeling well enough after his wisdom tooth extraction to join us on both Saturday and Sunday nights. Sunday is always a fun time for this event. Our new Mr. Missouri Leather takes the stage and signs the MML banner. Not to mention that it is a bear bust and you can drink all you want from 6 to 10 for only $15 (domestic beer and rail that is, however you can upgrade to premiums for pennies).

Matt kiwi59, woofer's husband came by for a surprise visit, it was great to have him there.

I also wanted to take a moment to thank Jeff and Jerry, the terrific owners of JJ's Clubhouse. We could never ask to have a better bar or bar owners, they are always working with the clubs here and giving back to the community. Thanks again.

The Mr. Missouri Leather Event started Friday night at JJ's Clubhouse in St. Louis. The turn out was a bit light, but I am sure everyone will be out in force Saturday night. When things got started a bit after midnight, the crowd had picked up a bit. They started with the introductions of the MC's as well as the contestants. The are three running for the title, and I am sure they will all do their best. I did have sometime to speak with most of the judges, and they are all great guys. Fun was had by most.

The bartenders Rich and Richard were as wonderful as always. Jerry, one of the owners, was particularly hot in his rubber shirt his hubby Jeff got for him (Woof! hard to keep your hands off!)

It was great hanging out with Randy redhochipe and Shawn. As most of you know my boy woofer wooferstl did not come out after having is wisdom teeth extracted. Sorry you missed it boy, we all missed you as well.

There is nothing as bad as poor fitting leather. The Sam Brown that I bought was a bit long so Randyredhochipe was good enough to make some adjustments for me. Now it fits perfectly, and I am ready for Mr. Missouri Leather this weekend. If you are in the St. Louis Area, don't forget to join us at JJ's Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Friday is the Silent Auction and Meet the Judges and Contestants beginning at 10pm. On Saturday the contest begins at 10pm, and on Sunday there is the Winners Ball from 6pm to 10pm (All you can drink for only $20).

More information on the event can be found on the Gateway MC Website.

After the necessary adjustment, Randyredhochipe and my boy wooferwooferstl went to JJ's for a frosty beverage and some needed relaxation.

Randy, thanks again for all your work, and all you do for the clubs here in St. Louis


It is always great to spend some time with you boy.

LUEY was a great event. I wanted to take a moment to thank all of the terrific people that I met in Houston. There hospitality is unmatched. For those of you that have never attended the event, I would highly recommend it.

It was terrific to go with my boy woofer. I have never been so proud of him, and honored to be his Sir. All the events were terrific. From the start at George's Bar, I know that this was going to be a weekend like no other, and my feelings were correct. The bars and bar tenders were great, even with the large crowds they handled everything timely and professionally.

Steve was a terrific guy, a friend of Woofer's from previous LUEY events, great to meet him.

The "Show of Shows" was well attended

And the After Party was just Packed.

woofer was looking Happy and Fine as always!
