Congrats to Accidental Bear’s Mike Enders who has been asked by HBO to collaborate/generate original content to help promote the new gay series “looking.”
The new series, “Looking,” revolves around three thirty-something men exploring the highs & lows of contemporary gay life in San Francisco. Viewers will get an unvarnished look at the gay experience as these close friends cope with the challenges of finding happiness, and intimacy, amidst the often fickle & promiscuous gay culture of the Bay area,” says HBO. The new half-hour series is created by Michael Lannan (Remember Me, Lorimer, Interior, Leather Bar)
Enders will work behind-the-scenes capturing video interviews with actor, producers, directors, wardrobe designer, and anyone he can sink his paws into.
Make sure you follow Mike on his Twitter and Facebook social media as well as on AccidentalBear.com
‘Looking” will premiere Sunday, January 19, 2014

My buddy Mike Enders over at Accidental Bear is raising funds for a summer music tour featuring LGBTQ acts.
Money raised from the tour will go to help raise awareness about suicide in the LGBTQ community. But Mike puts it much better than I. Watch the video above and please consider donating.
From the Kickstarter page: Queer Music Benefit Summer Tour 2013 will be unlike anything happening right now and so important. Suicide rates among LGBTQ people are a much higher than straight folks. Let’s together detach the stigma attached to Mental Health Issues and talk about it. This is our chance to make a difference! No more sitting on the side line and waiting for some else to do it. This is our time!
The importance of funding the Tour:
When this kickstarter is funded it will make it possible for the show to go on and we’ll be able to make money to help out all of our LGBTQ brothers and sisters! All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to organizations listed below as well as sponsor donations. This is our chance to show how much we care!
Benefitting from the summer tour:
LA: Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center / Mental Health Services
SF: The Stonewall Project
Portland, OR: Q Center
Seattle, WA: Pride Foundation
NYC: Ali Forney Center (AFC)
