The Liberty Bears went to the MOVIES!  As the build up for this summer came we were excited to be asked to participate in our very first QFest.  On July 22, 2012 QFest featured the eagerly awaited East Coast Premier of Bear City 2:  The Proposal.

Our group started the night with a fun relaxing dinner at the Mexican Post on Chestnut Street.  The amazing margarita's, the mojito's and the burrittos hit just the right spots.  Right after dinner we made our way around the corner to the Ritz Cinema and relaxed in for a wonderful and endearing film full of sex, love and laughter.

After Bear City 2:  The Proposal we descended on SugarHouse Casino for one of QFest's legendary Closing Parties.  This year was no different.  The atmosphere of Philly's only casino, mixed with amazing hors de vours, complimentary Smirnoff Vodka cocktails and some high energy music from DJ Stephen Durkin set the night off to a higher level.  We hobnobbed with the stars of the movie.

Then came the Grand Finale.  A first, and we hope not the last, the Liberty Bears hosting a bear party for a film during QFest.  We descended on our home bar, Bike Stop (206 S. Quince St. Phila Pa), for a party at the Top of the Stop.

We decked out the Top of the Stop in a summer beach theme and at midnight our crowd descended.  For $5, to benefit Galaei, our guests got a complimentary Smirnoff Vodka cocktail or a Coors Light (thanks to QFest and their sponsors) and the music of DJ Barney Philly!

Bear City 2:  The Proposal stars Joe Conti and Blake Evan Sherman were delights and lit up the room.  An appearance by Closing Awards Host Pierre Robert and other Philly luminaries.  In all we had over 100 people and that is just the beginning of our summer!
