Defense against bear hugs…

Alright people! We’re back from Whistler and you can check out full
coverage of WinterPRIDE in the next print issue of Xtra West and online
at xtra.ca after this Wednesday. I would also like to post some videos
that I took over the four days I was covering WinterPRIDE online as
well. So stay tuned.

A buddy of mine sent me this link over the
weekend, but an unreliable internet connection and non-stop commitments
on the press junket kept me offline. I could have used the advice in
the following video last night at Snowball, which is WinterPRIDE’s
largest and best-attended party.
