Folsom, Dore and Pride aren’t the only fairs where you can see bears! Smokey is a traditional VIP at the annual Blackberry Festival in Covelo, California. Here, he greets an admirer and hangs with a bud from the forestry service.

The Real Hairy Deal: Genuine California Bear
Ursine Megafauna coming down from the hills for a little party perhaps. This one was taken by my elderly mother on her iPhone, from the back patio of friends of hers in the Sierra Foothills, during a dinner party. Pause the cello music, please. And yes, I think I will take more wine. West slope, under 2000 ft elevation. Perhaps he was on his way down to Sacramento to chat up the politicos. Lobby THIS, people. Grrrrrrr!

Bikers and Cigars and Bears: Sights seen at Smokeout XI Las Vegas
Bellagio Fountains, Floating Bear Conga Lines, Butkus Autographs in the Las Vegas version of a mall, Kush Fine Art. Srsly? Billboards of course. Surveillance like mad. The Arturo Fuente Cigar Lounge abuts an escalator in the Forum Shops on The Strip. Everything in Las Vegas is the Las Vegas version of…whatever, wherever. Paris and New York in plaster, Venice in Sherwin Williams. Covers the Globe in Amalgamated Capital. Or something like that.
The Las Vegas version of a run is Smokeout, an informally structured event now in its 11th year. Smokeout is billed as “an uncomplicated, fun-filled weekend in Las Vegas for Cigar Studs, Pipe Studs, Bikers, Leathermen, Bears and their friends from all over the world.” No run fee; events are on a pay/per basis and include dinners, cigar parties, bar nights, a Leather party, friendly low-stakes poker, a rollercoaster outing, a piss party, and a motorcycle ride hosted by the Desert Brotherhood M.C. Good times poolside at the Hotel Alexis Park Resort. Great times in the suites.

Have a Beary Happy Hairy Valentine’s Day!
This from artist Don Chooi over at Bearotic, the entertainment site for “bears and the furry at heart.” Note that there is NO sign saying “Don’t feed the bears.” So it MUST be alright…
