This year was probably one of my best SF Prides. It was impromptu, relaxed yet efficient!
Left LA at Saturday at noon arrived at Gilroy by 4pm and in SF an hour early for dinner.
Grabbed some Japanese food and had an entertaining time with a Korean waitress who reminded all of us of the girl from "My Sassy Girl," drunk bitch.
We order a beer for her per her suggestion and he downed the pint, flipped her glass over and napkined her mouth while us wienies were still sipping.
She told us a slew of stories from her messy past. Love this girl, gave her huge tip, but she gave us sake on the house.
My Bay Area Boys. Love
We realized that we were going to Club Papi and needed to do a quick work out just like when we went to Fresh when we went to 24 Hour fitness right before clubbing.
Last time Joe and Eric were at Club Papi on Cinco de Mayo there was raunchiness everywhere... their return was on the todo list.
*gasp*
They had free tacos and salsa dancing upstairs. I grabbed the last one from the taco lady.
Club Papi was nothing out of the ordinary. Go-go boys, drinks, etc. We bought nachos and a hotdog. Joey pinch the garnish on the hotdog and exclaimed, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE NACHOS?!" *plastered*
Hmm.. shooting in the Castro? not surprised, Pink Party is a clusterfuck.
SUNDAY PRIDE, but FIRST Vietnamese Lunch.
Gay friends roll call:
High School Best Friend/Post College Best Friend/College Roommate/San Jose Youtuber Good Friend
My group was tired and checked out- leaving me alone to roam pride INDEPENDENTLY! YAY!
OH SHIZ TiggahTigz. Love his blog. Very XXX =X. Last year I was too shy to say hi. Not anymore!!!
While crazies piled up to see the Backstreet Boys, I went to the API Section and watched the Rice Rockettes!
Berkeley Gays
Nick. He has this amazing simple necklace that I want. the one with the stones lined up. Please let me know if you find something similar.
Rice Rockettes! They blew me away with their amazing performance! Wonder Girls, BOA, and other songs... sheer high heel talent.
Why hello there Marijoy Tabatsoy and Chi Chi Cago, your performance made my day.
San Jose Gays. Danster and his boy. Those two have an absurd amount of adventures together. He provides me with lots of to-dos!
Didn't really try to look for anyone because it was so crowded. It just let fate let me discover old friends. I texted a friend asking him where he was and he responded, "Pizza." I think he was drunk in Dolores park.
The Hip Hop section of pride was my good bye. Excellent.
And I was home by 1AM on Sunday. Dang SON. Jimmy and his posse drove me up, but I have no pics =[
*edit*
I just realized that it's been a year since I ran into Ern and Sam and informed them that I may need a place to stay in LA. Wow. So much time has passed!
Finally ended June with Pride. And now July... River Rafting tomorrow morning, must sleep.

June Recap - Straightening Things Out
My friend on the above left texted me about needing a place to stay during LA pride. Well of course! Even though we aren't best of friends, we are gay friends and that's enough for me to shelter you! :] You'll just have to make friends with the couch surfer who we found on line.
While these gay boys went parading around LA doing gay things with their ginger friend such as a circuit party, weho (dunch dunch dunch), getting their car towed and tanning on the beach... I handed him my keys and did a load of straight things. (Plus LA charges cover at the Pride festival. In LA... even PRIDE has a price.)
June 12 - My coworker got a job offer in New York. His good bye party was at Libertine, a pretty sweet lounge on the Sunset Strip. I put on my straight guy uniform: dress shoes and a collared shirt- rolled up sleeves because I'm cool, buttons open because I'm sexy and looking for pussy. Check out those designer jeans with my overused credit card inside. "Girl you looking fly, can I buy you a drank?"
June 11 - Exploring our neighborhood- the roommates coupled up and headed to Cha Cha Lounge. It was like Fiesta Cantina in WeHo, but Straight. Lots of women with breasts and pepper spray wedged between them in case you were staring too long. And of course a bar that was impossible to penetrate. Cha cha was so straight that there were lesbians.
I was obnoxiously scissoring my fingers when I saw them. Beers! Grunt! LESBIANSSS! And our table was named Casandra. Hot.

June 10 - Saw an Improv show! Some old theatre ricers and Puppetropolis. Which is improv... but with elaborate puppets. My mind was blown away! They all did different voices and was able to dish out wit after wit. Nope, no gay people doing improv here..jpg)
June 8 - There was a Mixology session at work. Instead of taking the class, I just hung around and drank unwanted drinks. Heh Heh. That's how I get my free buzz at work. Afterward, I headed over to a bar with the coworkers where some sport was playing on the TVs. So much testosterone, my eyes were watering.
