Cheesy pop music again... sometimes I think I might be gay!
Some very good friends gave us tickets to the Cruz 101 15th birthday party on Saturday (thanks!). We were out in Legends anyway, and went round there sometime after 2am to catch the highlight of the night - a live performance by Scooch! They performed all 5 of their UK hits, closing (of course) with 'Flying the Flag'.
Sad? Yes. Camp? Also Yes! Bovvered? Nah!

DANZING!
It's Eurovision day - YAY!
I know it's frowned upon by the bear community to like Eurovision, but I've always liked cheesy pop music, and always liked Eurovision. And judging by the sheer numbers of bears coming to our Euro-party tonight, I'm certainly not on my own!
The semi-final on Thursday was a real eye-opener... pretty much all the songs I liked have been knocked out - Denmark's drag queen DQ, Belgium's Love Power, Israel's anti-war song (alright, that was crap, but kinda catchy after a few listens!), the Cypriots singing entirely in French (bizarre!), Poland's party song (the word party was used 35 times in 3 minutes!) and Switzerland's version of Aqua singing about vampires. The final result was 8 qualifiers that were ex-Soviet or ex-Yugoslav states, plus Turkey and Hungary. Draw your own conclusions!
The favourites seem to be a Su Pollard lookalike drag artist from Ukraine, whose costume is mainly bacofoil, and what can only be described as a Serbian lesbian (well, I can't be sure, but look at her performance!). As ever, the UK are deemed to have no chance (25-1 for a win, 8-1 for a nul-points!), but I have to admit I think the Scooch song is funny!

Bear Bash
Well bear bash has finally come and gone for another year... As usual it was horrendously overcrowded, but hey, there's no way around the event's success. The Thursday night in AXM was a really good way to start the weekend off, understatedly. We did try the Outpost on Friday night, but we could only manage about 45 minutes in there before feeling too squished! Legends on both Friday and Saturday was excellent - very busy but still do-able. Having the patio open downstairs was very welcome.
The highlight of the weekend was Sunday afternoon at the Birdcage. Jonathan once again made a great host, and the Mr Bear 'competitions' were almost lost (thank goodness - does anyone care about these any more?) amongst the top quality entertainment from Bearlesque, Rowetta and the videos. I was really pleased at the reaction to the videos - the quality just keeps going up.
All the videos are now on YouTube - just do a search for Manbears.
