Leading B.A.R.: Russian bears and alley cats

What I'm reading this morning in our little weekly: COPS HUNTING. Police have resumed their search for suspects in a June attack on two gay man where one was stabbed on 19th Street. BARE BEARS: Thousands of big hairy gay guys converge on the Russian River's Guerneville for Lazy Bear Weekend. HALLOWEEN TROUBLE? Efforts to move the violence-scarred Halloween night street party from the Castro to the waterfront took a hit when pop singer Pink pulled out of the event. KARRNAL KNOWLEDGE: Exploring the guilty pleasures of swallowing in Muscle Pit, where the actors "like men, period." MISTER MARCUS staggers across the finish line with an Up Your Alley roundup.

1:05 p.m.: Up Your Alley street fair

It's the signature shot, right? Awesome weather! Lots of nudity (much of it unfortunate). Plus, I looked and looked but didn't see any of my favorite porn stars. Any porn stars at all, as a matter of fact.

See you at one of San Francisco's sleaziest street fairs: Up Your Alley, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The weather looks spectacular: partly sunny, highs in the 60s to lower 70s. [Photo by Joe Oppedisano]

Tonight: Gays attempt second Cuba invasion

Up Your Alley's big featured party, of course, is the ever-so-appropriately titled Bay of Pigs, this year at the Cat Club. The featured come-on -- harr! -- is the Dungeon Lounge, with strippers and some sort of "unspeakable action." What: Bay of Pigs. When: 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. Where: Cat Club, 1190 Folsom St. How much: $30 (advance) at Rock Hard and Mr. S Leather; $40 (door).

3:03 p.m.: Dore Alley and Folsom Street

The Powerhouse bar is directly ahead in that pink (!) building. Hard to imagine there'll be as many as 20,000 people near this intersection tomorrow, at the Up Your Alley street fair.

Looks like good weather for a big Up Your Alley weekend: partly sunny today, highs in the 60s to lower 70s. [Photo by Fred Alert of Titan Media porn star Tober Brandt at last year's Up Your Alley]

Leading B.A.R.: Counting down to Dore Alley

What I'm reading today in our little weekly: MISTER MARCUS says up to 20,000 leather queens are expected for this weekend's leather-palooza, Up Your Alley (above; inset left, from last year). HOMICIDE HELP? Police need help solving the S&M-related murder of a local man after finding a suspicious B.A.R. advertisement by a suspect arrested in the case. BLUE CHAIRS: Puerto Vallarta joins Palm Springs, Provincetown and Key West as a growing gay hot spot. CRIME & PUNISHMENT. Vandalism at a coin-operated laundry; and Albertine, a 9-year-old Saint Francis terrier, left his Dolores Park play group, ran up to a man, bit him on the right calf, "then ran back to the pack as if nothing happened." How rude! KARRNAL KNOWLEDGE. Fist and South, Part I stretches, uh, celestial boundaries: "The dildos used in two scenes have the circumference of small planets." Plus, OUT THERE begs John Travolta: Get off your knees!
