Inaugural Otter Weekend celebrates the fit and furriest
Dallas Bears have TBRU and Dallas leathermen (and women) have ILSb, but what of the lonely, orphan otter — hirsute but smaller gay men, who bridge the gap between bear and twink? Well, now they have Otter Weekend, the inaugural activity for the smaller-framed hairy man. It all kicks off Aug. 10 at Woody’s, with a Mr. Otter contest, and includes a pool party and other activities over the weekend.
