Vallejo Gay Network Halloween Party

Leave a comment

Halloween costumes! Who was the genius who came up with this idea? Imagine a small tuft of hair at the top of my pointed yellow head. In hindsight, Shea should have had a rubber ducky. I couldn’t convince him to put on a red muppet nose (it would mess up his products I suspect), so I decided to forego an orange one.

Folsom Street Fair 2024

I had fun in general at Folsom Street Fair, but there was ZERO San Francisco Department of Health enforcement present and only a few pathetic signs like this one near the end of a street that was an offshoot from the main fair. Why aren’t the street fair licenses at least threatened to be revoked for the overall discomfort and health of attendees?

For those who cherish consent, how about for those who are forced to inhale cigars and other combustible devices in crowds, not to mention people sucking on vapes with huge plumes all day long? I did not consent to polluted air, so I had to spend my day attempting to avoid it in public from discourteous people. I hope the world gets some sense knocked into it someday. I actually love crowds, but not if I have to fight the ignorance.

September Vallejo Gay Network Potluck and Pool Party

Preparing for VGN at Greg and Steve’s house:

Bonnie and Snoopy were a hit at the pool. Bonnie, who generally does well in crowds anyway, as opposed to onesy-twosies, was well-behaved, thanks to some dog training we’ve had. She barely growled at anyone and I think she’s a big faker, because for the tiniest of treats, she loves to be petted. She let at least a half dozen people she never met pet her, to my shock, because each time I thought she’d smell them and back away to “protect” me. Perhaps we’ve made some real breakthroughs! Snoopy was so popular he was barely on the ground since he was being held so much. There were also two other small dogs there, Jordi and Toby.

Great turnout!
