Also, I find it very interesting yet lame that some people who knew who who I was and previously had no interest in me, are all up in my space now that I am a Title holder! They didn’t want me when I was simply Chad, but when I became Mr. ( JR: Did you find that you get a lot more attention, or get hit on a lot more since you won the Contest?ĬB: There’s definitely an influx on my Growlr and Scruff messages, especially when I am at an event where people may or may not know me. I had my best friends there, and my sister and her wife, and we were able to raise $740.00 for my charity of choice, Why Me & Sherry’s House. I’ve tried to get to every event that my wallet allows me! My most memorable moment was definitely at my victory party in November. So, how has your Title year been going so far? What was the most memorable or most exciting moment so far?ĬB: Jed, thanks for thinking of me to interview. JR: Thanks for speaking with me, Chadley.
Do I call you Chad or Chadley?ĬB: You can call me whatever you want! (Laughs) Chadley is fine. I am very blessed to call him my brother”.And now, we get to meet the hot and hairy man ourselves… He has been a great friend and supporter to me. He’s been very active in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. I was very lucky to have him at my victory party and having him as a Judge for my event ‘Furplay Madness’. I also had the opportunity of marching with him for Boston Pride and hosting a joint event for the annual ‘Nuts and Bolts’. He’s a sweetheart and very loyal to his family and the community. Connecticut Bear 2014 Trell Walters (pictured above), stated it very well when he spoke about his fellow New England Bear brother: “I am so proud to have been a part of picking the man who became the current Mr Boston Bear 2013, Chad Brennan. Every September, MASSBEARZ also holds their annual Mr. One of the active groups in the region is MASSBEARZ, a furry fraternity who describe themselves as “a Bear, Cub, Chub, Chaser, and Admirer Group in Massachusetts” (How nice… I’m partial to all of the above!) The club holds several events throughout the year, including a monthly “Bearz Tea” at Club Cafe and “Teddy Bear Balls” around the holiday season. Most importantly, there’s a tight-knit Leather and Bear brotherhood in Boston. However, there is definitely a visible gay and lesbian presence in Boston… and there certainly doesn’t seem to be a shortage of things to do either (which, according to my Bear brothers, include frequent road trips to nearby Providence, Rhode Island… where, for the record, there ARE “after hours” men’s clubs.).
OK, OK, the city may not share New York’s or New Orleans’ reputation for nightlife. While Boston’s prim and proper reputation may be exaggerated– especially as we approach 2015– some claim that the city’s Puritan roots are the reason for the absence of, shall we say, “after hours” men’s clubs in town… and why all the bars, whether gay or straight, stop serving booze at 1AM when the national “last call” average time is 2 AM. The city has also been notoriously famous for its history of being (Pick a word…) “prudish”, “puritanical”, or “snobbish”–up to the point where the vintage term “banned in Boston” is still known to this day. Who doesn’t love some nice Boston cream– with or without the pie?! (Ahem…) So, here’s some education, folks… it’s indisputable that “Beantown” has been a cultural and historical center of the United States for centuries.
