Welcome IBR XIII
On behalf the staff of The Complete Bear, I want to personally welcome all of our furry friends from around the world to the 13th International Bear Rendezvous.
One of America’s “Gayest” cities awaits you. From the Golden Gate Bridge to the Historic Castro Theatre to The Lone Star Saloon, we hope you enjoy your stay. San Francisco offers a diverse offering of fabulous restaurants and eateries, unique retail stores you won’t find anywhere else in the world and probably the on Starbuck’s in the world commonly referred to as “Starbears.”
We appreciate your decision to hold your event here in San Francisco. Thanks to the support of groups like the Bears of San Francisco, we are proud to the “gay friendliest” city. We are also honored to be the home of the fist publicly traded LGBT Corporation – Planet Out (NYSE:LGBT). We recently celebrated the third year anniversary of Mayor Newson’s decision to grant the right marriage to all. And trust us when we say that fight is far from over.
We hope you take some time while in our city; cruise the Castro, take a steam in Berkeley and nibble some chocolate at Ghirardelli’s. Once you do, we think you’ll agree with Rudyard Kipling , "San Francisco has only one drawback. ''Tis hard to leave."
WOOF!!
