Thanks to
everyone who's written to us about the move to Albuquerque. We're really
looking forward to it!! Any of your Musclebearz buddies in the area, be
sure to drop us a line! This will probably be the last update until we
get somewhat settled, but look for us to be back BIGGER and BETTER than
ever in just a short while. The site will stay active...don't worry
about that! :-)
As for this
update, we finally had a chance to post pics from IBR and the
Musclebearz Workout. Check out
Part 1,
Part 2, and
Part 3. Finally,
here's one last group of
Musclebearz Buddies
before the move.
Thanks for
everything, and see you in Albuquerque!
2/1/01
Lots of
information to pass on to you this time!
First, is the
MUSCLEBEARZ WORKOUT at Gold's Gym in San Francisco during
IBR weekend. Once again, this is a
very casual affair...just show up and LIFT! :-) See you at Gold's on
Brannan on Saturday the 17th at 11am or so.
Next, Harry,
Randy, and the BeefyBoyz wanted us to tell you about the SWEAT Party
during IBR. We went last year, and it's a great time! You've gotta go!
Next, check out
our newest page of Musclebearz Buddies,
BUDDIES 39.
You'll be glad you did!
Finally, some
news of a more personal nature.
After years in
the SF Bay area, we've decided to cash in. That's right, we're on the
move, this time in a permanent way. We're heading to Albuquerque, New
Mexico, John's hometown. We'll miss the Bay Area a ton, but the time is
right to make a move. We can buy a place outright in Albuquerque for
cash and have no mortgage. This means that Charlie can go back to
school, and both of us will have more discretionary income.
We'll have our
place on the market in the next week or so, and look to make the move
early in March. We could use your advice on finding a real estate agent,
areas of the city to live, fun activities, movers, local gyms, and
anything else you want to share with us about Albuquerque.
Drop us a note and let us know
any information you've got! :-)
Don't worry!
Musclebearz.com isn't going anywhere, but will be on hold while we get
settled. We'll try to get one more update posted after IBR weekend, but
no promises...you know how moving is! :-) We will be back with regular
updates as soon as we get settled in New Mexico. We'll also be back in
California for visits, because we'll miss everyone here!! And of course,
if you're "making that left turn in Albuquerque,"
drop us a line. Maybe we can
meet up for some decent Mexican food and a workout! :-)
So, until later,
see you at IBR, and on the road to
Albuquerque!!
1/3/01 -- FINALLY!!
We know! Almost
two months without an update. Shame on us! But we hope you'll find it
was worth the wait.
First, check out
two new pages of Musclebearz Buddies,
BUDDIES 37 and
BUDDIES 38.
After that, take
a look at the fun we had in Europe, along with the hunky guys we met
there! Check out our
VACATION 2000 pages here.
Finally,
Musclebearz Buddies TOM and
MORGAN had a little get together
right before the new year. The food was terrific, but it was a "little"
puppy that stole everyone's heart. Take a look at
the festivities
here...
Well, that's
plenty to catch up on right now. As always,
let us know what you think. We
hope you had a great holiday and will have an even better New Year!
Thanks for your support in 2000, and here's to a terrific 2001!!!
11/11/00
We're back! Did
you miss us? :-) Anyhow, we've been swamped with work and travel, so it
looks like this will be the only update this month. Check back in early
December though for pics from our trip to NYC, London, and Amsterdam!
With this
update, you'll see some HUGE guys on our most recent Musclebearz Buddy
page, BUDDIES 36.
We think you'll like this one! :-)
Anyhow, that's
it for now. We hope to see some of you in NYC, London, or Amsterdam
later this month. We're always looking to meet up with other beefy guys
for dinner, the gym, or just hanging out!
Let us know if you'll be around.
Hope to hear from you soon!
10/16/00
Another day,
another update! :-) This one's good though. Bob of the
BEEFYBOYZ had a birthday this
last weekend and there was a pool party in his honor.
Check out the pics here.
Also, our
Musclebearz buddy ED sent
us some updated pics from his powerlifting contest a few months ago. He
won, by the way! :-) Take a
look at the pics
here, and then drop him a line to congratulate him!
Finally, a
travel note...we'll be going on vacation next month. We'll be in New
York City, London, and Amsterdam. If you live in any of those places,
drop us a line! We'd love to
hear about things to do, decent gyms, good places to eat, and so on.
We're always looking to meet up with any other Musclebearz for gym
workouts, meals, and just hanging out.
Write us!
Thanks again for
all the support on the site. We're really glad a few of you out there
seem to enjoy it. ;-) Talk to you again soon!!
9/28/00
Well,
FOLSOM STREET FAIR was a
blast! We really enjoyed seeing everyone. Check out our two pages of
Musclebearz Beef, PART
1 here, and PART 2
here. You can also see more on our buddy's pages, The
BEEFYBOYZ, The
BEEFYDRAGON, and
ERIC.
Our buddy
STEVE has been busy entering
some bodybuilding competitions lately, and he's been doing really well.
You can see a couple of pics of him on stage
here.
Finally, we've
posted a new Buddies page,
BUDDIES 35. Check
it out and enjoy! :-)
As always,
let us know what you think. We
love the e-mail we get from the site. Thanks for your support! Send more
pics! :-)
9/11/00
There's quite a
bit to see with this update. First, our buddy
JIM sent a few new pics from
BEARS GET WET.
Thanks again, BIG man! :-)
Next, we've got
quite a few new additions to
BUDDIES 34. As
always, please drop the guys a note and thanks them for sharing their
pics.
Finally, our
buddies the BEEFYBOYZ had a
little pool party to celebrate BeefyBoy Jim's birthday. We've got two
pages of pics, Part One
and Part Two. Lot's
of fur and beef to see here! :-)
We're
experimenting with making our thumbnails on the picture pages a little
larger and of higher quality. This will mean a slightly longer download
time, but a much clearer page. Now you can actually see that the pic is
before you decide to click on it.
Let us know what you think.
One last
thing...here are links to information on
We hope to see
you there! Come up and say HI, if you are going to be there! We'd love
to meet you!
8/13/00
BEARS GET WET went
off yesterday without a hitch and it was a lot of fun! You can see some
pics here. Thanks
to CHUCK and
ROBERT for organizing such a fun
afternoon!
Our Musclebearz
Buddy MICHAEL entered a
bodybuilding show. How did he do? Find out by clicking
here! :-)
For those of you
who couldn't get enough of our Lazy Bear Weekend pics, our buddy
JIM has contributed a few that
he took. Check them out
here.
Thanks for sharing, JIM! :-)
Finally, a quick
note. We know that a lot of people out there are writing to those of you
who contribute to our site. After all, making new buddies is part of the
fun of a community like ours. We just ask that if you decide to actually
follow through on a meeting with someone who writes you, please use a
little common sense and be careful. Although we know almost all the guys
who post here and can tell you what great guys they are, we can't do the
same for anyone else who might be writing you. There are those out there
with less than honorable intentions, and we've heard that they might be
using websites like ours to meet people. All we are saying, is play safe
and BE CAREFUL!
Enough of the
soapbox for this update. If you have anything to share with us,
please drop us a line! Thanks!!
8/6/00
We're back from
all the travel! Thanks for all of you who came up and said "HI!" We
always enjoy making new buddies! :-)
First, check out
our information page
for BEARS GET WET on Saturday, August 12 at the Waterslides in
Manteca. All the details are there, along with a map and a link to the
Waterslides' website. We hope to see you there....it's always a ton of
fun!
Finally, we've
got what many of you have been waiting for...not one, not two, but three
pages of pictures from LAZYBEAR WEEKEND! Check them out here:
Lazy Bear 2000, Part 1;
Lazy Bear 2000, Part 2;
Lazy Bear 2000, Part 3.
As always, let us know what you
think! Thanks, and we'll see you all at the Waterslides in Manteca!
7/20/00
Just a quick
update here before our trip to
LAZYBEAR WEEKEND
and to New Orleans. We've posted a new Musclebearz Buddy page,
BUDDIES 33. Check
it out and let us know what you
think!
We hope to see
lots of you up at Lazy Bear and in New Orleans. If you see us, come up
and say HI! Drop us a line if
you live in New Orleans, and want to meet up for a meal or to lift...we
always like making new friends!
Don't forget,
DORE ALLEY FAIR,
on July 30, and BEARS GET WET at the Manteca Waterslides on August 12.
We'll see you guys at BEARS GET WET, if not before. Thanks and enjoy
the update!!
7/9/00
Once again,
sorry for the lateness of this update. On the plus side, you have a lot
of new stuff to look at now. We hope you'll find it worth the wait! :-)
First, we have
two new Musclebearz Buddy pages,
BUDDIES 31 and
BUDDIES 32. Lots
of updates and new buddies for you to meet!
Next, check out
the pages from San Jose Gay Pride 2000...the
Parade, the
Festival, and the
Headline Entertainer...
:-)
Also, here are a
few upcoming dates for some MUSCLEBEARZ events....you'll probably see us
and a lot of our buddies at these, so come up and say HI if you see us!
Finally, we'll
be traveling some this month...John for work, and Charlie to keep John
company! :-) We'll be in Orange County and LA on July 10-19 and in New
Orleans on July 24-August 4. If you are going to be in either place and
want to lift or go eat or something,
let us know! We'd also appreciate any suggestions you have for fun
things to do and see while we are there! Thanks!
6/1/00
We had a great
time in Chicago! Thanks to everyone we met! We've divided the pictures
into two sections:
pictures from various events and around the hotel, and
pictures from the
Musclebearz Workout at Quads Gym. We'd love your help with the
captions. You can help if you are in one of the pictures. Just
drop us a note and let us know
your name, location, and e-mail address. We'll happily add your name to
the caption if we don't already know it!
Also new this
update is a couple of
updated buddy
pics and a
powerlifting victory from our buddy
ED, in Toledo.
Finally, we get
a lot of people asking us for the dates of various events that you might
see us at. Well, here are a few that we know of, along with some helpful
web links so you can get some more information:
Hope to see you
all there! Come up and say HI if you see us! :-)

Musclebearz Workout during Bear Pride...Quads'
Gym on Broadway...2pm...Saturday, May 27, 2000
OK...here are
the details for the Musclebearz Workout at Bear Pride in Chicago. Meet
at Quads' Gym at 2pm on Saturday,
May 27, 2000. Quads' Gym is located at 3727 North Broadway, in
"Boystown," the Halsted area of Chicago. The phone number is
773-404-PUMP. The day membership fee is $9.00, which is actually fairly
reasonable. There will be shuttle buses from the host hotel to the
Halsted area that day, all day long, so you can catch a ride right from
the hotel. To get directions from the hotel to the gym if you are
driving yourself,
click here.
If you are going
to join us for the workout, let us
know! We'll keep an eye out for you!
What other
events are we going to? Well, we'll be at
LAZY BEAR WEEKEND!
For details on this July 20-24 event up at the Russian River, click the
logo below! We'll also be at the SWEAT party at
CLUB FAB in Guerneville that
weekend. If you went to the SWEAT party during IBR, you know this one's
going to be a good one! Hope to see you all there!
For updates to
our site, this time we have
another Musclebearz
Buddy page. Also, the SFBearBudz,
Rey and Mike, had a terrific BBQ last weekend.
Catch some pics from
it here! Thanks for the invite, guys...
We'll see you in
Chicago for Bear Pride and the Musclebearz Workout!
4/24/00
First of all, we
want to thank Drew Murray from
"UNZIPPED" magazine. He reviewed our humble website in the April 25,
2000 edition of their magazine. Let me quote to you a sentence or two
from the review...
"Like the
mountain men of yore, these guys are big and thick and rugged, and look
incredibly strong. They're also solid in their identity and sexuality,
something I encounter infrequently in the community and even more rarely
on the Web. These guys are gay and comfortable with it..."
He's talking
about you, everyone! :-) Thanks for helping us to make this a resource
for the whole community, and their allies. We hope to live up to the
hype! :-)
On another note,
we're planning our second annual Musclebearz Workout at Quads Gym in
Chicago during Bear Pride there.
Right now we're hoping to get there on Saturday afternoon, May 27th,
around one or 2pm. Look for more details in the next update, and
let us know if you think you'd
like to attend. If you want to know what you might be in store for,
check out last year's
workout here!
Finally, with
this update you'll find two new Musclebearz Buddy pages,
Buddies 28 and
Buddies 29. Let
the guys know you appreciate their contributions by dropping them a
note. And, as always, let us know what you think about our efforts
here! Thanks!
4/5/00
Just a quick
update, so it wont take so much work... :-) We have the
start of a new buddy
page, and our Musclebearz Buddy
MYLES from Chicago sends in a terrific
series of progress
pics!
That's it for
now. Let us know what you think!
3/26/00
Howdy! Been
almost a month and we know a lot of you have been waiting for an
update! Here it is! Since we waited so long, you get a whole two new
pages of buddies,
Buddies 25 and
Buddies 26. You can also see
some updated progress
pics of John, taken this month.
We went skiing
up in Whistler, Canada and had a great time. On both new buddy pages,
you can see a few pics of some the people we met up there and along the
way. As far as future travel, we are planning on going to
BEAR PRIDE in Chicago over Memorial
Day weekend in May. We are hoping to also do a trip to the east coast
and Europe sometime later this year, depending on when we can find a
good travel bargain.
As always, if
you are coming to the SF area, and want to lift or go eat or something,
just let us know. We are always
looking to meet up with other beefy guys for the gym, dinner, or just
hanging out! :-) And as always, even if you are not coming out here
soon, let us know what you think
of our updates! Also, drop an e-mail to our new MuscleBearz Buddies.
You'll be glad you did!
2/29/00
Hello, everyone.
We hope you all made it home safe from IBR, if you made it out here. We
saw a ton of you, and met quite a few new friends. Thanks for coming up
to say HI! ;-) We took some pictures at
the Online Party
and also at the
"After-SWEAT" Brunch, thrown by MuscleBearz buddy
HARRY. The SWEAT MuscleBear
Dance party was awesome! You can check out
some pics of it over at the BEEFYBOYZ
page. Thanks for a great party, guys, and let's do it again SOON!!!
We've also
posted a new page of
buddy pics, our buddy KEITH
kicks off the BEARS DO
GOOD 2000 page with his powerlifting accomplishments, and two
Maryland MuscleBearz show us how to get HUGE legs over on our
FEBRUARY 2000 GYM
PICS page.
As always,
thanks for all the notes and e-mails.
Please write and let us know how you
are doing....send a picture or two also...WOOF! :-)
2/12/00
Howdy,
everyone! Hope you all are doing well. We've been on a self-improvement
kick here, and really trying to hit the gym hard to get as big as
possible! How are we doing? Well, you can check out a start of
some progress pics of
us, and some of the
killer workouts we've been having!
Let us know what you think.
We also have
a new page of updated
and new buddies to share with you. Why not drop these guys a line
and thank them for sharing their pics with us all! ;-)
The next update
will be after International Bear
Rendezvous. If you see us out and about, please come up and say HI!
We love meeting new people, and IBR is a great time to do it! Have a
great time there if we don't see ya.
Write and tell us about your adventures......
1/30/00
Two updates in
one month....must be some kind of record! ;-)
Anyhow, thanks
for the response on the roommate situation. It turns out that our
current roommate isn't getting transferred after all, so the room won't
be available. If we hear of anything, though, for those of you who
wrote, we'll pass your e-mail along to the people renting. Thanks again!
We've also had
to change servers for the webpage again. It turns out our little site
here is kinda popular, with over 12 gigabytes of information being
served each month. That's equivalent to over 12,000 floppy disks worth
of musclebearz buddies each month! We knew we were beefy, but had no
idea! The new server should allow the traffic we need, at least in the
meantime, and at not much additional cost. This brings up something
else, if you'll indulge us for just a minute here....
Some people have
asked us why we don't just accept ads or make you buy a subscription to
access this site since it's so popular. The reason is simple. This is
not a commercial site. It never will be. This site is intended to just
be kind of a record of our lives and those of our friends. Ever since we
started this little project up back in June of 1998, that's what we
wanted. We also don't think it's fair to make money off of pictures that
you all have sent in or have appeared in.
We also think we
are providing kind of a service, one that we are happy to do. Every
week, we get one or two letters from someone who has seen our site and
thanks us. You see they are in the process of coming out or know someone
who is. They are glad to see positive images of gay men having fun and
having REAL lives. Not a television, religious, or pornographic
stereotype, but REAL men...masculine men...and most importantly, HAPPY
GAY MEN!
We know that
even in the gay community images of guys like you see on these pages are
rare indeed. We're happy to let people know that it's ok to be gay...ok
to be hairy...ok to be big and beefy...ok to be madly in love...ok to be
anything at all...as long as you are happy with yourself!
We never set out
to be role models, as I'm sure that none of the guys who appear here
have. We just hope that the support our little site can provide is worth
something to you. The few bucks we blow getting these images out there
are worth it. Trust us on that.
OK...enough with
the soapbox....and on with the BEEF! ;-) We've got
a really nice update
of buddy pictures. You can also see we're trying to do something
with the page layout so the page downloads to your computer faster.
Let us know what you think!
Once again,
thanks to all of you...whether you are pictured on here or not. ;-)
1/7/2000
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
First, if you
know anyone who is looking for housing in the SF Bay area, we will have
a room for rent at our townhouse in Santa Clara. The room will be
available the middle of February. It's convenient to CalTrain, buses,
and the freeways. You'll get your bedroom, your own bathroom, and run of
the townhome, including kitchen, laundry room, and TV room with
entertainment equipment (satellite dish, dvd player, vcr, etc.). The
complex also has a nice pool. You'd need to pay for your own phone line,
but we've included all other utilities with previous renters. We
generally do a month-to-month lease. One small pet is ok. Non-smokers
only. If you are also into lifting and getting huge, that would also be
a plus (nice to split the protein powder and supplement bill <g>). If
you are interested, or if you know anyone who might be,
please e-mail us with contact
information, and we'll get back to you! ;-)
We hope everyone
out there had a great holiday. We had a very nice and relaxing, but busy
one. You can see what we did on our
HOLIDAYS 1999
page.
This update also
brings you
some more buddy pics. We finally moved the site to a provider that
doubled our disk space. I'm sure we'll have no problems filling it up
though, as we go through 2000. Let
us know if you have any problems accessing the site, or any comments
about speed, etc.
Also for
something kind of different, we helped our buddy
STEVE with a photo shoot for his
website. You can see a preview of some of the musclebearz that will be
on it when you check out
our preview pics here.
We think we're
finally caught up with everything as far as this website goes. That
means that if you don't see a pic or something you sent us on here,
write and let us know. We'll fix
things ASAP! Also, if you have any ideas on how to make the site more
manageable, please shoot those over
to us too. We're still looking to redesign the site, and any ideas
you have would be most appreciated. Thanks again!
12/19/99
Here's the most
recent update. You'll find
a new buddy page
with lots of hunky new friends. Some of these pics we've been holding
onto for a bit, but finally we've had a chance to update them. Sorry
once again for the delay. We plan on moving the site to a web hosting
service that will allow more space, and we're also getting a DSL line
installed by the end of the year, which should improve our upload times.
We're going to
try to get one more update in the next week, but if we don't, we hope
that you all have a great Christmas or Solstice (we celebrate both
around here...more presents :-) ) and we'll see you all after the
holiday. It's been a terrific year, and all of your support of our site
has been a part of it. Thanks for everything!
11/12/99
We really have
to find time to update more than once a month! Thanks for being so
patient though!
Along with work,
school, and other distractions, we've had to go through and take out
some of the older pics, the less viewed non-buddy pics, and pics of
people we've lost track of. Why? Well, you are prowling over 50
megabytes of stuff when you visit our humble little cave here...and our
ISP draws the line at just about that amount. Hopefully with this last
"weeding" we'll have more room for growth!
Along those
lines, if we mistakenly deleted a picture of you, or if you don't see a
picture you sent us recently, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
write and let us know. We don't
want to leave anyone out of the fun!
We are also
looking at doing a complete overhaul of the site. By this we mean that
we just want to make it easier to navigate, and we want to update it's
look a bit. Don't worry...we're not going to turn this into some sort of
a pay site or add advertisements or anything like that. It's still going
to be a celebration of our musclebear buddies and ourselves. We just
want to make things easier on our guests! If you have any ideas about
how we might go about this, please
let us know!
As for this
update, check out the
new buddy page. We think you'll agree it was worth the wait!
As always,
thanks for all the notes, pictures, and friendship! WOOFS from the two
of us to all of you! ;-)
10/13/99
We've finally
had time to do an update! Sorry this one took so long, since we know
that many of you were waiting for it. You know how it is when you have
work, street fairs, house guests, etc. ;-) Anyhow, in this update,
you'll finally get to see the
pics from this year's
Folsom Street Fair. It was awesome! Our buddies
ANTHONY and
SCOTT also had a little
pre-festival brunch, and we've included pics from that also.
Also in this
update, you'll find some
pictures of the 1999 San Francisco Bodybuilding Championships. The
competition was good, and there were a few familiar faces from our gym
in San Jose up on the stage there. The best part though were the two
guest posers, Flavio
Baccianini and Mike
Matarazzo. Flavio is local and we've seen him plenty of times, but
Mike Matarazzo was something else! WOOF!
Finally, we've
started another new
buddy page. Since it's been so long since we've done one,
let us know if you sent us a pic
and we left you off. If we did, it was a mistake! Just

4/30/99
We've just made
our plans to be in Chicago for BEAR
PRIDE 1999. We hope to meet up with some of you there! If you see
us, please come up and say "hi!" We often get mail from people who say
they saw us out at this event or that event, but didn't come up and talk
to us because we looked intimidating! Well, as those who know us well
know, we only look the part! ;-) We are actually very friendly, so
please put those fears aside, and come up and make a new buddy!
For this update,
another page of buddy
pics is added. As always, please
send us your pictures, and updates! We love hearing from you!

lot for the words of encouragement. We do this just for fun, and we're
glad you enjoy it also!
Here are some pictures

better and adding e-mail links later. If your picture is up here and you
don't want it here, just let us know! Also, if we don't have your name
and e-mail address, please send it
to us so we can link your picture to your e-mail!
Also, as some of
you may know, we had some pictures taken for
BEAR magazine. Well, they are
finally out! Go check out BEAR magazine, number 53, for some more
"intimate" pictures of your humble hosts. ;-) You can also get a preview

MUSCLEBEAR INVASION PLANS SET!
Saturday,
February 13, 1999.
11am until ??? (We'll personally be there until around 1pm or so...)
Meet at Gold's Gym in San Francisco (9th and Brannan).
A Daily Pass for
non-Gold's members without travel passes from their home Gold's Gym is
$15.
This is going to
be VERY casual. No set plans or activities...just lots of heavy iron
and muscle and fur! If you plan on attending, please come up and say,
"Hi!" We'll have the ol' digital camera there ready to capture you at
the height of pumpitude, so don't be shy! ;-) You might even drop us a
line so we know to keep an eye out for you!
Hope to see you
there!
1/20/99
MUSCLEBEAR INVASION!!
Will you be
going to Bear Rendezvous in San
Francisco on February 11-15? We'll be there, and hope you will be too!
Our buddy Derek thought
it would be fun to invade Gold's Gym in San Francisco on the afternoon
of Saturday, February 13th. We think it's a great idea! So, if you want
to join us, let us know. We'll set a time, but right now we're aiming
for late morning, around 11am or so, before the "Official Events" start.
Maybe we can all go eat somewhere afterwards. If you are interested,
write us and we'll e-mail you
back details and a map to the gym if you need it. Daily fee for the gym
is about $15, but if you have a travel pass from any other Gold's Gym,
it's free!
There's lots new
on the site this time. Check out the
Christmas Fun! Also
we've got yet another
page of new and updated buddy pictures for you to look at. Also,
check out the
amazing feats of our buddy Anthony as he qualifies for a strongman
contest! ;-) Did you see Mark McGwire's Sports Illustrated cover?
Check it out,
along with a few other pics of Big Mac from that issue!
Look for even
more pics soon. John's getting a digital camera for his birthday, which
should make production of this page much easier! We're tweaking the
pages a bit here and there trying to get them to load faster. Also, a
major site redesign is in the works, to make pictures easier to find.
Let us know how we are doing!
;-)
1/4/99
...and it only
took three tries to type in the correct year! ;-) Happy New Year one
and all! We're very excited about the promise of a new year. The new
year means more opportunity for growth, both in the gym and out of it!
But especially in it! It's also the time of year that's bulking season!
High calories, high protein, heavy weights, and low aerobics (except on
the ski slope). We'd love to see more pics of you all as you grow in the
new year! Just send them to us
and we'll be happy to post them for you. In the meantime, check out
some updated pics and
some new additions to our buddies! Also
Steve comes through again with
a couple of new
Nasser pics. Enjoy!
12/23/98
Well, Christmas
is right around the corner, so a Merry Christmas to those of you who
celebrate it, and best wishes to all of you in the coming year
regardless of "holiday preference!" ;-) We've really enjoyed getting to
know you all and look forward to meeting a new set of musclebear buddies
in the coming months! Your feedback on our pages has been terrific and
much appreciated! Thanks again!
For updates this
time, check out the
new crop of buddies. We've also added
a few new favorite links,
along with links to buddies who have given us a web page address to
share. Finally, Steve from S.
California has provided us with the first in a series of
progress pictures.
Watch as he grows over the next few months! If you want to join in the
fun, and let us all watch as you get bigger and bulkier over the
off-season, please send up pictures (preferably the same type of pose)
once a month or so, or as you think you are showing some progress!
12/13/98
Happy Holidays
everyone! Things have been busy here at the Cave, but we finally had a
few minutes to post a
few new buddy pics. Also, buddy

soon as we figure out something catchier to name our pages!
Also, if you are

Chris and
Joe, are looking for a cave to
call their own. If you have any leads on apartments for rent, let them
know by dropping them a note!
Thanks much!

Halloween pics to share. Keep them coming, everyone!

some Halloween fun. Check out

Finally, Dwade, one of the sweetest
musclebears you will ever meet, sends us
some of his pics
from his GOLD MEDAL winning effort at the Gay Games in Amsterdam. Way to
go, Dwade!
