LTA… The Future of Events

Since the inception of the leather, bear, and kink communities events have been a way for people to come together and share time and space to make memories. With over fifty years of events having occurred, a lot has changed the landscape. From the digital revolution to worldwide pandemics, now we’re looking at how things have evolved. But has it all been for the betterment of the experience for attendees? Are there areas that need work? What opportunities are there for the coming years of activities?

COL498: BEAR: Being a Virgin

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, North American Bear Weekend is just around the corner! So, it’s time for another Bear Experience Action Readiness show!

Bear Experience Action Readiness: Being a Virgin

We discuss what to expect as a virgin at a bear event/run and what our personal experiences were like.

Audience Questions/Feedback:

  • Baron W.: My first big event was GLLA, and I really didn’t know what to expect! It was exciting yet terrifying all at once. I guess what I wish I had known is that people are (usually) very warm and welcoming and if you put yourself out there you’ll usually find a new friend or five!
  • Joshua P. [Skeleton Crew]: Hmmm…I have never been to an event. From what I see and hear, they are very cliquey, and a fear I have is I would end up spending the time mostly by myself, or just with the people I attend with (which seems to defeat the purpose of attending these events).
