BearTown 16 is here! June 9th to 12th Portland will be packed with bears and beary events. While not a bear myself (but as a follically powerful individual I do sympathize with feeling empowered about hairyness) I was excited to hear that Beartown this year will feature massage therapists! Well damn. If that isn’t the best idea I’ve heard in a while, as big time gay social events can be a bit tension inducing.
Apparently, however, you gotta be smart and reserve a massage slot in order to make the best of this great offer – at $1 a minute with a 15 minute minimum, it sounds like a fairly affordable treat (and probably more satisfying than other pay-by-the-minute services i can think of). BearTown this year has a packed schedule full of events such as the Meet and Greet on Thursday, June 9th, from 7-11 pm at the Eagle Portland, and a full day of events from 10-2:00 am at various locations around town. Friday’s highlights include an UnderBear dance party, a cigar social, and Cheers, Cheese and Chocolates event at the Local Lounge.
Saturday bring you a brunch from 9:00-11:am, while the afternoon and evening feature a banquet, the Mr. Oregon Bear and cub contest, and another dance party, with the Jupiter Hotel hospitality suite staying open until 3:00am.
Sunday might be a good time to indulge in a massage after a long night, but you could also kick it off with a brunch, followed by Bingo, which will be hosted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, before finishing up with a farewell BBQ from 5:00 8:00 pm.
Next to the regular day programming there will also be a Bear Market that runs throughout the weekend, in case you need some new duds or toys.
