GayVN Awards - Bear Weekend - Photos IN VIP Room

What an exhausting week! The gay porn industry invaded San Francisco for the GayVN Awards and bears from all over the world came for International Bear Rendevous (IBR) - all at the same time!

I'll be blogging more about the parties and events I attended tomorrow, but VIP members can view photos from the Falcon party, Bear Bingo with The Sisters, the GayVN Awards show right now in the Paparazzi Pix section.

Raging Stallion was the big winner at the GayVN's this year. Nine of their ten overall wins went to Raging Stallion GRUNTS: THE NEW RECRUITS, including the studio's first-ever Best Picture triumph (the tenth award went to Best Pro/Am Release winner EDINBURGH, shared with Collin O'Neal Productions). GRUNTS costar and RSS Man of the Year Jake Deckard earned Best Actor and the coveted Performer of the Year. Ricky Sinz, yet another GRUNTS featured performer, leads all individuals with three overall wins.

Only two other films earned more than one trophy: LINK: THE EVOLUTION for All Worlds Video snagged five awards, while Lucas Entertainment's THE INTERN won four. Rascal Video exclusive Blake Riley is the newly crowned Best Newcomer.

Nickolay Petrov earned a GAYVN Award for Best Threesome, shared with Jesse Santana and Jason White for JUST ADD WATER (Jet Set Productions). He is currently jailed in Florida for accepting money to attack and threaten a sixtysomething couple who had failed to pay a debt.
