Gird your loins for Heretic’s Bear Invasion

Add this share

After an entire day of drinking for Cinco de Mayo in gay Atlanta, what more could we ask for? Silly us, an afterparty of course! Luckily, that’s just what’s on tap Saturday at the inaugural Bear Invasion Atlanta.

Bear Invasion hits Atlanta for the first time with the big muscles and bigger beats of San Fran producer, remixer and DJ John LePage (top photo) as headliner, as well as gay Atlanta’s own DJ Sean Mac (second photo). And these guys have surprises in store beyond the burly men they plan to attract to the event.

“We’ll be debuting John’s new single with Debby Holiday ‘Key To Your Soul,’ including a remix from me and Bryan Reyes,” DJ Sean Mac tempts us, “as well as my new mix for Wayne G & Shauna Jensen’s ‘When You Talk About Love.’”

But that’s just the tip of the bear-y big iceberg. B.I.G. Productions joins with Heretic for the party that also serves as the official afterparty for the biggest, gayest Cinco celebration Papi’s Outdoor Cinco de Mayo Carnival earlier that day, and LePage is the real deal, Mac tells Project Q Atlanta.

“John’s an extremely nice guy and a well rounded DJ with a great ear and phenomenal ability to connect with the dancefloor,” Mac says. “We’ll be working a good bit together this year. Bear Invasion is the first of a few gigs we’ll be DJing together on the way to our headlining the ‘Sweat’ party this August at Lazy Bear Weekend in Guerneville, Calif.”

More temptation? Never satisfied. OK. The first 50 people through the door get limited edition Bear Invasion dog tags to flirtingly dangle over someone special’s face. Need more?

Not a Bear? Don’t worry, everyone’s welcome. Just remember, this is our “Den” so follow our rules:

1. Check your attitude at the door.
2. Be nice.
3. Have Fun.
4. Don’t judge us and we won’t eat you.

Remember our motto: “Mo Bears is Mo Better”
