'RIM guys in your favourite chair... or RIM them while all cozy in bed... RIM 'em at work... and on business trips'.

There's a great feature on TubeBear... it's known as RIM which is short for Recorded Instant Messages. Everyone knows about IMs (Instant Messages) - typed messages in little boxes... well if you have a webcam, you can send Recorded IMs to your buddies, which is 100% better.

Honestly - what would you rather see, typed words from a guy... or a video from a hot Bear...?

We made a cute ad which you can see here on our YouTube page, and if you need some assistance on how to RIM, then go to my profile (Forrest), and from my list of videos, view 'How to RIM'.

GuadalkiBear, the Bear club of Southern Spain, are having their ConBeargence from October 9 thru the 13th. The meeting will be taking place in Seville, "a beautiful city with a charm all of its own that makes it a special and unique place. Their star activity is an evening cruise and party onboard as they float down a river in Seville called Guadalkibir. Last year 800 guys showed up so it's sure to be a blast once again.

Need a few visuals? These fine Spanish Bears sent us some pics from their previous ConBeargence so check out those photos here. Also here are some posters for the event - poster #1 - poster #2 - poster #3.

Last Saturday night the Woof Bar (website) held the very first Monsieur Bear Montréal contest. 5 guys competed and it was Robert Petitgroux who took the title. Check out the pics from the event here. On a personal note, my partner Roger (galleries - profile) was one of the contestants and he was runner-up, and from what I understand, he was very close to winning. Nevertheless he had fun and he looked great in his business suit and leather gear.

As I mentioned, we were there broadcasting the show live thru TubeBear - however we did have issues, mostly wi-fi issues. The connection would fade out, and each time it did we lost the broadcast, so there was a lot of reconnecting going on. The good news is that we taped the whole show, which means you'll be able to see it soon.

Once again, check out the pics here from the contest, and below is a RIM (Recorded Instant Message) Roger and I (Forrest) made the day after the contest.

[Members ~ click here and here] Jacques aka PandaMontreal has been kind enough to share with a bunch of pics that were never posted here on PlanetBears. He sent in so many that I'm going to divide these updates, this being the 1st one (click here to see all of his photo sets in the PlanetBears' Galleries section - click here to see his TubeBear profile).

In this update, there's 2 sets. The 1st set Jacques calls it his 'Black & White' set; pics of him on a black chair in a white setting. At the end, I added some photos from his 'Dreamland' series; photos of him in bed surrounded by his collection of teddybears.

In the 2nd set, you get to marvel at the magical work of GianOrso (gallery - profile). the Italian GianOrso is truly a master photographer, and in my opinion he has taken some of the best photos ever of Bearish men found anywhere in this universe. Well GianOrso came to visit Canada a few years back and Jacques was fortunate enough to have a photo session with him. As a bonus, there's a bunch of 'behind the scenes' photos in which you get to see GianOrso photographing Panda.

In the next update, which will be in a couple of days, we will be posting Jacques' 'Sex-capade' set - a hot little jerk-off solo session.
