Geosocialization
The possibilities and opportunities of geo socialization are endless. We are now talking about a world where markets, businesses and individuals are driven by the need to interact, advertise and promote in real time. This will result in new trends of digital marketing, socializing and networking, furthering the evolution of interaction between individuals and organizations.

Drenched Fur 7 Has Lucky Weekend
from Gary
This past April, Erie was once again the host for Erie’s Exclusive Bear Weekend known as Drenched Fur. This time the run of incredible fun for over 200 men hailing from around the tri-state area and as far away as Texas, Indiana, New Jersey, Wisconsin and Toronto. Erie has been the annual host to Drenched Fur and celebrated lucky year number seven for the men attending that appreciate themselves and each other in their natural masculinity.
One of the things that has helped make Erie—and Drenched Fur—a destination for the bear community is the highlight of having an exclusive night time private event at Splash Lagoon, our local indoor water park resort. In addition to enjoying the fun wet times there, the weekend this year also included the return of comedian William Brown and the top notch quality music of RockCub. Friday also brought world-renowned DJ Barney Philly to spin great beats at the Bel Aire Hotel this year.
On Saturday night, the guys enjoyed a banquet dinner after choosing to spend another wonderful afternoon on a winery tour, playing slots at Presque Isle Downs and Casino or seeing the sites around Erie. This year’s banquet dinner included an unforgettable game show performance by the comedian stylings of William Brown, Kendall, Uncle Pete and RockCub.
The Drenched Fur 7 Committee did an outstanding job hosting one of the biggest events for Erie’s GLBTQA community and thanks all the individuals and businesses that helped make this year a success. To find out more about Drenched Fur, you can visit our website at ww.drenchedfur.com to review our photo gallery from over the years.
And don’t miss out on next years’ installment of DF8 being held March 29th – April 2st in 2012!

Trying to get Joseph re-socialized :) lol
He did actually pretty good after the initial 15min awkward period...ha ha ha
Journalists often work in groups, so it is imperative to socialize with co-workers and build a cohesive unit.

[caption id="attachment_1057" align="alignleft" width="225"] Out on a bird stand with bird toys, Peachy is socializing and chewing![/caption]
In Part One of this series, I talked about how I became smitten with Peachy but before bringing him home, I did my homework about the specific species prior to bringing Peachy home. Doing my homework prior to making a lifelong commitment is the foundation of the PARROT Pyramid model for successful pet birds - or homing an exotic pet.
Parrots are beautiful and endearing, but they are only a few generations away from the wild. That's not enough time to change an animals genetics to acculturate it to living in a house with people. Pet birds still have strong instinctual needs that you must find a way to meet.
Parrots choose their mates for life and they guard that relationship fiercely. Just because I choose a pet bird doesn't mean that the bird chooses me. That's what's so cool about parrot adoption. A mature parrot can actually choose you! Some parrots guard the relationship with their chosen person with gusto !In the parrots eyes, it is protecting it's family and future generations but we humans tend to interpret this aggressive behavior as jealousy or meanness. Peachy and I chose each other!
Parrots defend their territory. Wild parrots must defend their home and territory against intruders. Some domestic parrots have difficulties with territorial behavior too, unless they feel that you are a "flock member." Pet parrots may become defensive of their cage. I contend with territorialism by insuring that Peachy has several hours of out of cage time and is involved in my daily activities. Peachy becomes much more territorial about his cage and whereabouts when he is experiencing hormonal surges. It was critical for me to learn to anticipate seasonal behavior and learn to read Peachy's body language.
Very social parrots constantly communicate with their flock. Sometimes very loudly. A major survival mechanism for parrots is life in a flock. So parrots need a lot of socialization. Have you ever looked up in the sky and seen swarms of birds flying in unison or Canadian Geese flying south? Imagine the communication that is going on between the birds to master these tasks. Each bird has to be like a switchboard customer service expert. Each bird has to develop and maintain a team work relationship with all in the flock. Your parrot needs you to be on it's "parrot team." You have to think like a parrot. It is normal and expected that a pet parrot will call out to learn your whereabouts several times per day, most notably in the morning as it wakes and evening before it settles down for bed. But on top of that, whistles, chatter and squawks will be heard throughout the day. It is absolutely essential to find a way to communicate and interact with pet birds several times daily with your parrot to meet its social and communication needs while being attentive to refrain from unwittingly teaching your parrot to scream and screech for attention. Peach and I sing and dance a lot. We have developed a special call and we wave at each other in passing throughout the day. When Peachy engages in screaming I refer to Good Bird Behavior training techniques.
Every aspect of a parrots body is designed for flight
Parrots need to chew. A lot! Did you know that wild macaws can excavate trees to make a nest? Parrots can chew through branches, dig under bark an crack open nuts. Parrots chew up wood to find food and make nests as well as groom their beak. Chewing is a strong instinctual drive for all parrots. Parrots need lots of bird toys because they truly don't understand the difference between bird toys and the trim around the door or grandma's antique table. Keeping your parrot away from stuff you don't want it to chew and providing safe, thought provoking bird toys that are safe for it to chew is easy, although the second biggest expense of having a pet parrot. A pet bird that doesn't have enough safe stuff to chew will chew furniture, walls, electrical cords or whatever else might look fun - at the time. Peachy gets new bird toys frequently. I recycle as many bird toy parts as possible, hiding them in cereal boxes, cleaned out milk cartons or reusable bird toys like the Crazy Leather Box.
Smart parrots need to forage. Wild parrots forage for hours each day. Foraging is literally the process of using ingenuity to search out food sources. As described above, I make a lot of cheap foraging toys for Peachy. Any toy that allows digging and exploration is filled with hidden treats, nuts or dried fruits. Sometimes I'll put plastic bird toy parts in the bird food dish so that Peachy has to dig through his dish to get a morsal. A super reference to learn how to make your own foraging bird toys is the Enriching Your Parrots Life DVD.
Mature parrots also go through seasonal hormonal changes at least once a year. Expect your parrot to become more excitable, loud and potentially aggressive during seasonal hormonal surges. There are about 8 -12 weeks a year that I have to handle Peachy with increased caution. My usually easy going, la se fair parrot becomes less predictable, much more irritable and much more excitable. I've had to learn to mark my calendar, predict and prevent bites. Since I have Peachy out and about with the family so much I have learned to read his moods. But Good Birds ___ has been a real life saver. I'm a woman and I know how hormones can effect mood and behavior. My task to accommodate Peachy is to PREVENT behavioral issues that will cause him to feel shame and cause me to fear him. Complimenting reading parrot behavior, Peachy goes through wood bird toys really quickly when he is hormonal.
While beautiful, endearing and talkative, parrots may fail to satisfy most people’s expectations as pet because their instinctual behaviors and needs are not practical in a home environment. The expenses involved in meeting a wild animal’s needs, the noise, complicated diet and tendency to become aggressive cause people to become disheartened and look for opportunities to re-home the parrot.
Mr. Grey came in as a feral cat who had very little contact with people. He was over 8 months old, which is pretty old to socialize, but he made quick progress with short, daily handling sessions from different people.
You can see in the video he is not thrilled to be touched, but he doesn't run away and towards the end actually pushes into the hand a little.

Cressi and Bondi are now sharing a cage after being well socialized together. Cressi is a congo african grey parrot and Bondi is a galah.
Yesterday I went on a photowalk with the MeetUp group Laid Back Photography and socializing. They went to Plummers Cemetery in east Austin after rescheduling last week due to rain. A graveyard seemed like an appropriate place for a photowalk on All Hallows' Day/All Saints' Day/Dia de los Muertos. This chair was in the middle of the cemetery. I can only guess someone has used it as a place to sit to visit their beloved departed. This was an interesting cemetery to visit and our photowalk organizer shared this info about the cemetery.
Plummers Cemetery on Springdale Road is one such green space owned by the City of Austin and kept up by the Parks and Recreation Department. It was acquired in 1957, when the city also obtained nearby Givens Park on East 12th Street.
The African American cemetery was once known as Mount Calvary, not to be confused with the cemetery by the same name at Interstate 35 and East Dean Keeton Street.
Tom Sylvester Plummer purchased it in 1923 from Thomas Plummer (his father?) for $300. He sold it 34 years later to the city for a nominal $10.
Born in 1902, Tom Sylvester Plummer was the first black Travis County deputy sheriff. He was widely recognized for the twin .44s he always carried. Plummer said he did so because no one was accustomed to being arrested by a black law officer.
Plummer owned several East Austin businesses and was deeply involved in community service. He died in 1986 and was interred in the cemetery that bears his family name.
