We’d like to thank everyone who attended our October 20th Bears in Excess. It was a great afternoon with over 200 guys!
We gave away two great prizes: Logan won the Dekkoo.com one-year subscription for their gay streaming service. Scott won a $75 gift certificate to Bearbelts.store.
On another note, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Edward Perry on October 20, 2024. He was 57 years old. A dedicated community member, Edward had been attending Bears in Excess for many years and even volunteered many times. His absence will be deeply felt. He is survived by his husband, Robin Yap. This fund provides life-changing opportunities for 2SLGBTQI+ students, ensuring that Edward’s commitment to our community will never be forgotten. We encourage you to contribute to this worthy cause at https://gofund.me/2d82d955
RIP Edward!
Our November edition of Bears in Excess will be this Sunday, November 17th at Toronto’s Spa Excess. Be prepared for a day filled with fun, excitement, and thrills as you join chubs, chasers, bears, daddies, and admirers.
Get there before 10:30 a.m. (YES THAT EARLY) to snag a room. If you’re late, you’ll be given a locker and added to a waiting list. The fun officially starts at 1 p.m. and it runs till 6 p.m. There are 50% off locker coupons available. You can download it here: https://bit.ly/46cctXX
When you arrive, you’ll be greeted with a choice: a private room or a secure locker. After collecting your keys and a towel, you’re free to explore the facilities. You can be dressed in your towel, a jockstrap, or nothing at all. The Spa doesn’t offer flip-flops. There are some available for sale at our table in the lounge. Limited sizes are available. Come take a look!
If you’d like someone to show you around, please ask for Eric. We’ll gladly give you an all-access tour.
Our friends Marco Antonio Garcia and Steve Catano, from Vida Spa & Wellbeing, will once again be there. They will help relax you, unwind you, and rejuvenate you with a 10-minute chair massage. This is available for just $10!
Around 3:30 p.m., we will have complimentary sandwiches in the lounge, courtesy of Spa Excess. Don’t forget to pick up your Spunk Lube sample at the lounge table!
Get ready for the thrilling 50/50 raffle and exciting prizes, including:
- a gift certificate for delicious scones at Wishful Thinking Bakery (facebook.com/whiskfulthinking.ca/), 72 Wellesley Street East, in Toronto.
- An Autographed copy of Les Wright’s book “The Bear Book II: Further Readings in the History”.
Here is a serious discussion of an emerging gay subculture! Take another fascinating journey into the bear’s den with the latest offering from Les Wright. The Bear Book II will show you the contrast between the media image of the fun-loving, carefree bear man. It also reveals the health, image, psychological, technological, and sexual concerns of bears living in the real world.
