There we went!
STICKY PAGES 3: OSO ORO!

Thanks for the support!
Well... we are done.  Now to step back a little and take stock.  Was it a
success?  Yes.  Yes. No. No. Yes, no and yes.  There are a lot things to
look into, such as reorganizing so that we actually break even in costs,
restructuring the events, and recruiting real volunteers instead of having all
the work done by two people.  (Special Shout out to Daniel Joy, because
without him, I would have given up a looong time ago.
I love you, Danny, my papito gachi muchi.  
Thanks to all the sponsors, like Song Kran Thai Restaurant, the Bronx
Museum Of The Arts, the Studio Museum of Harlem, PRISMcomics.org
(huge help!), and one great sponsor, Andy Salgado from InCollaboration
Inc. (www.readers.org) that came through at the last minute and helped
absorb some of the costs. Also, a special thank you to Kevin O'Reilly of
TandLevents.com for making all the beer, soda and ice possible.  His
company (including ThePartyCrew.net) handle some of the biggest high
profile events in the city, and it was a real blessing to have his very very
generous support.

Did anything go wrong?  Well, yeah.  But so what?  More went right.  We
got our name out there, and showed people that a bear event doesn't
have to be only about beer and cruising.  There's a lot of Art in us... a lot
of beautiful, dynamic, vibrant, sexy Art, and this was one way to
showcase it.  
A lot of people showed.  A lot of people modeled (bless them).  A lot of
people (really talented folks) drew.  A lot of people had a good time just
chilling, drawing, drinking, eating, mingling, even cruising...  and really
warming up to a new kind of event.  Yeah, we didn't make a lot of money,
but that was never the point. We gained a foothold, I hope, into a new way
of celebrating and merging our communities.  Now to plan next year's
event.  See you in 2009!
