The SF Bear's International Bear Rendezvous weekend starts today, so don't be alarmed if you find a bear with his paw in your honey. He means no harm.
As in previous years, stores have begun putting out bear decorations, including the awesome and completely unnecessary "Bears Welcome" signs. However I haven't seen the big bar banners out yet, and generally there seems to be less visible activity than in previous years. I wonder if this has something to do with a) the final filming of the Milk movie, b) the rain/cold/construction putting a general damper on the neighborhood, and/or c) the sucky economy which is apparently dragging everyone down.
And visiting bears are encouraged to check out my "Bear's Guide to the Castro" produced last year. The only update is that Bullshead has closed down. We don't really have any more carnivore-themed restaurants in the area, but for a good quantity-to-price ratio, try The Sausage Factory at 517 Castro. The antipasto salad "baby" size is already too big for 2 people, so the "mama" size is a revelation at $12.25. You must like lots of cheese though, and all of the Italian meat is on the bottom (where it should be).
