I've added more nice pictures to the recap of what happened during Pride 2012.
ALL gay males should participate in this online survey. Description: "We all know how to keep ourselves safe. Yet, guys continue to test positive. We need your help to figure out why. Your confidential answers will be pooled with tens of thousands more. The resulting data will help the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local health departments better understand patterns of behavior- both sexual and health promoting- among men in our communities, and to make sure our prevention resources have the greatest impact."

FetishMenSanDiego AIDS Walk & Run Page - Organized by Aaron Duke, who says "Please join Aaron Duke and the men of FMSD at the San Diego Eagle on Friday, August 10 from 10PM – 2AM. We will be signing people up to walk or run with our team. In addition, we will be collecting donations in the form of credit cards, PayPal, or cash. NO CHECKS."
I've also found some great pictures from the Up Your Alley Street Fair in San Francisco that happened last week, for the enjoyment of folks who couldn't attend. Here are Biron's pictures, and Rich Trove's.
Spanky, our own Senior Officer in the Marines, has found some great pictures from the 2012 Pride Parade.
EVENT UPDATES
Kink Crusaders Movie Night is coming up in two weeks. It's going to be one of those major social events that attract a LOT of local men, and I can sweeten the deal - I will be at the theater at 6:30PM, with twenty free tickets to hand out, but you have to march right up to me and ask! I'm pretty easy to spot. They've spent $2,000 to get the movie just for us, which shows how confident they are in our community. I will be co-emceeing the Gear Contest, but YOU get to be the judge!
This next week's Planning the Future event is changed from Wednesday to Thursday, for this one time only - Scheduling conflict. We will have a LOT to talk about, with so many events coming up. I will be at this event an hour early, at 6PM, if somebody wants to chat with me before enjoying the general discussion at 7PM.
My good friend Stephen says "I know most men go to The Hole on Sunday afternoons. For those looking for an alternative, there is a Bear Tea Dance at Numbers at 3811 Park Blvd, every Sunday from 3-8 pm. One of my good friends alternates as the DJ. He plays music from the 70s-today. He has a notebook full of his music, and he's happy to take requests."
Our local heroes CubClub (the same men who put on the big BELT parties here in town) are hosting an official dance-party during Folsom Street Fair Weekend in San Francisco. They are hitting the big time!
