You’re all invited to help me celebrate my 40ish birthday on Dec. 16 at Rich’s. The actual birthday is much closer to the 25th, but you’ll be paying attention to that other birthday around that time, so I’ll have mine on the 16th. As you’ve figured out, I’m a practicing homosexual, which means the party must have a theme. This year’s birthday will be a bigmuscleleather.com party.

The boys at BigMuscle/BigMuscleBear have started a new Web site called bigmuscleleather.com, so get your profile and pics up. Don’t forget to post the nasty pics with a face. What good is a great schlong if we can’t tell who it belongs to? We’ve probably already seen it anyway.

So the party will be on Dec. 16 at Rich’s, the same night as L.L. Bear. The start time is 7:00 p.m., and the donation at the door is $15, which benefits the efforts and charities of Leather Pride, Being Alive and The Tom of Finland Foundation. The $15 donation includes the party and entrance to L.L. Bear that night, a spin at the prize wheel for f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s prizes, a copy of the Lazy Bear 2006 DVD and a wife beater (the undershirt, not a drunken white trash man or dyke, although the white trash man could be sexy in the right situation). There’ll be some markers there for you to write your screen name on the wife beater. Bill and Andy from BigMuscle are donating a video iPod as a raffle prize, and there’ll be major porn from major porn companies to win!

It’s gonna be a party, BigMuscle-style, so mark your calendars for Dec. 16 – now! Oh yeah, and don’t forget it’s my birthday party and everyone is invited to cum!

Speaking of sex and birthdays, happy birthday, Skorpius! His party will be a bit different than mine. Also, happy birthday, Mike the Contractor! We could make your birthday quite memorable, too. Happy belated birthday to Mr. San Diego Leather 2004 Adam Latham, who celebrated his big day at the Redwing Patio Bar a few weeks ago. OK, that’s it for the birthdays since this was supposed to be about me!

Cumming up, the San Diego Leatherboys will sponsor a Welcome Home Celebration for returning members of the Armed Forces at the San Diego Eagle on Nov. 11 at 9:00 p.m. They will be raising funds for Homefront San Diego, and there will be boxes available for donations of nonperishable food items. For more information on the event, please visit the San Diego Leatherboys Web site at www.sdleatherboys.org. The San Diego Leatherboys are always busy doing stuff. Must be all that boy energy and natural testosterone. Hmm… remember the days of natural testosterone?

Let’s hope for lots of testosterone, natural or otherwise at the Lazy Bear Holiday Nov. 22-26 in Palm Springs. Just like the original at the river, this weekend is growing faster than a bear at a soul food buffet.

There’s a Thanksgiving dinner at the The Villa resort for those of us who have no family, no life and nowhere to go for turkey. The Palm Springs chapter of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will be sponsoring bingo on Friday night. Does anyone else wonder how they keep that makeup and glitter from melting? It’d be like an understated Tammy Faye in a habit. Following bingo, Hot House Video and Grey Rose Productions will be hosting the Underbear Party at the Barracks. Hopefully it’ll be hot enough to lock the doors and take off the boxers!

If you make it through Friday in one piece or with a few pieces, there’s Santa Bear Saturday at The Villa resort with Sharon McKnight, Snatch and others. Snatch is a drag performer not… eww!

Saturday night is Holiday SWEAT at Heaven, complete with the prized SWEAT cum rags. DJs Blaine Soileau and Peter Barona will be pumping it out with a hefty dose of support from the models at Grey Rose Productions dancing as box bears. Blaine is hot hot hot! His music is good too, but does it really matter when you look like that?

A few years ago, I was in Dallas where he picked me up at my hotel and showed me the better parts of Texas. Super sweet guy, but like I said, does it really matter when you look like that? Mmm… we love Blaine! Take a look at www.djblaine.com.

If you can drag your haggard ass out of bed on Sunday, there’s a brunch. Don’t worry; we’ll all be haggard if we’re lucky. Afterward, crawl to Sunday Furry Sunday at The Villa with your dark glasses on and have a bloody Mary! Seriously, we need to change the name of that drink! Check out www.lazybearweekend.com for more details.

I hope you all had a trick-filled Halloween. Write me at inthepitsd@aol.com.

Don’t forget Dec. 16! See ya…
