Shea made wonderful omelets to start the day. We ended up having Thai food for dinner in downtown Vallejo, and then made our way to San Francisco. We stopped by Greg and Steve’s pied-à-terre in the Castro, then walked over to the Pilsner for a drink, where we met a guy who was also celebrating his birthday. He even bought us a round and had some cake to share with us! Afterward, Shea and I went to Bearracuda, which I had not been to in many years. This is in addition to my other posting here where Greg, Steve, Shea, and I took pictures under the rainbow laser lights.
This evening I made it back from Sacramento in time to participate once again in the Pride Proclamation at Vallejo City Council Meeting. It was a nice crowd and I was very pleased to be among the wonderful community that awaited me when I moved here almost four years ago.
Went to two Cinco de Mayo parties yesterday only a few blocks from each other. Here are some pictures from one of them. I was too much of a chatty Cathy to take them at one party.
Monty and Frankie hosted since I was not able to this March due to the fire. They have an amazing house with a super-comfortable couch and it was Saint Patrick’s Day themed.
July 2024 Update: Shea is in the video and a few of the pictures! 🙂
Other people took pictures, and look who is rubbing elbows and beards in these pictures! I think these are literally the first pictures taken of Shea and me together:
It was very difficult to imagine attending this, but I was implored to do so. The community was wonderful to me and it was a good chance to see a lot of friends only three days after the worst day of my life. My ex had flown back for a few days to help me out and to ensure that I was not left alone in the early days, so it was somewhat awkward to explain he had moved away nine days before the fire.
