San Francisco is Addicting

Alrighty, I am going to try and make this update quick so I don't miss that much sun - it's so nice out!

Conveniently, Thursday was pretty uneventful during the day... I updated the blog and puttered on the computer for a while, sat around the hostel relaxing for most of the day. I did leave for a short time to help a friend out, but that was about it. After dinner there were options... Karaoke was happening with people at the hostel, but there was a show Daniel told me about on 1015 Folsom as well, plus a man named Jesse from the Alien party told me about "Beat Church" - a weekly dance event. I had ran into him the night before walking to the bar. Between the three, I was leaning towards the first and last option, since the supposed Folsom event was no where on the internet and I was doubting it was actually happening.

A most wonderful woman that I had met from the "Gays and Mormons" party was wanting to do something tonight, so after being indecisive for a while we decided to meet up in between where we both were, so Noelle and I left to meet Laura at a place called "Casanovas" on Valencia St.

The space was pretty; I loved the lighting. Two Canadians were talking to Laura when we got there - both had been to Vancouver before (went to UBC) so that was fun to talk about... the three of us ended up not going to any of the three original options and hung out there for the night. Noelle had to get up early for a photo shoot, so she took off and I went back to Noe Valley with Laura and had my head petted. I was in heaven!!

I woke up late the next day to sunshine and a quaint neighborhood! I was supposed to hoop with Jamie, so I quickly showered (in a real shower! Yay!), ate a piece of bread, and caught a bus to the hostel to get my hoops. Turns out she had some errands to run by the time I got back, so she came by around 430, and we went to the chiropractor/massage place. We couldn't find anywhere to park, so we wedged the car in what could be a parking space and took turns getting treatments while the other was in the car with the hazards on. This took longer than we thought (no complaints!) so we only got about half an hour or something to hoop in the park. It was getting dark anyhow. She had to take off to babysit and I was going to take a bus back, but I never saw one (I found out later that this was because I was on the wrong street most of the time haha) so I walked back. It was a really pleasant walk, minus the inevitable hills.

I had picked up some beer on the way back since it was Friday (usually the hostel staff go do something weekend nights) and looked up what was going on in the evening. Jamie was a huge help with this, I now know that Amon Tobin is playing tonight (Saturday) and was playing last night but I didn't get tickets. I might see if I can buy one today. Other than that, I was kind of feeling "meh" towards the other options. There was a house party kind of nearby that Bobby from the hostel was able to take some people to, so I grabbed my beer and took off to that.

It was a "prohibition" party, so basically dress up 1920's and pretend to be a bootlegger. I of course had no costume, but I found the owner of a bowler hat and he allowed me to take it off it's peg on the wall and wear it. It was convincing enough. The people at the party were super friendly, lots of friendly gay guys that I could talk about sun and moon signs with hehehe :)

We left fairly early by cab, but my half-drunk self had a serious pizza craving. We all got back to find more staff and guests awake drinking whiskey in the kitchen, so Shaun walked me to pizza. We found a fennel on the way sitting on the concrete outside the Hilton, so he carried that around for a while. The pizza was everything I had hoped it would be: greasy. We returned, drank water, ate cookies, and eventually we all fell asleep.

I had been offered a 2 for 1 adjustment/massage yesterday, so I woke up this morning with half an hour to get to the chiro! I jumped out of bed and went straight there eating my leftover pizza. I got there in time, got another massage and adjustment, and walked back in the sunshine! It was excellent. Now I am feeling like a shower and changing, gotta get myself outside!
