A surprising drunk call

I was chilling with Howie at his cousins (Kathleen and My Le) place in San Francisco when I got a series of phone calls from my sister.

I didn't pick up originally because I'm not a fan of talking to people in front of others. After the fourth or fifth call, I decided to pick up.

The conversation went something like this:

[picks up phone - drunk sister starts talking]
Sister: Hiiiii. What the fuck? I've been calling you.
Me: I know. I didn't pick up earlier. You got me now. What's up? Are you Drunk?
Sister: Yes. Two Things. Number 1... Shoot me an email with what you want for your birthday.
Me: Okay. Will do.
Sister: Number 2... I'm with Chris. You know how I told you I would never go to a gay bar? So he's totally cool with gay guys. [Chris' voice faint in the background: 'Ya. They're cool.'] I decided I'm going to go with you. Mom told me you're coming home soon. We're going. He's [Chris] going to be my buffer just in case anything happens.
Me: Wow. Okay...
Sister: What's that place you told me is cool?
Me: The Abbey.
Sister: We can go there. Or this gay bar in Ventura County. Paddy's.
Me: Why would I go to Ventura County? Let's go to the Abbey.
Sister: Ok. I have Halloween at Six Flags on that Friday. Saturday we're going out.
Me: Okay. Sounds good. See you later.

That was sorta random. But I'm actually really happy my sister made the effort to (1) Call Me and (2) Offer to be taken out of her comfort zone.

I never really thought I'd see the day when I'd go out with my sister to a gay bar...

Now I'm nervous...

The One Thing

If there is one thing that's guaranteed in the Castro, it's that older men will remove all of their clothing and let it all hang out at night when the weather is good. This has happened on multiple occasions...

Chick Flick Moment

So yesterday I started to become ballsy when it comes to dates and meeting new people. I pulled off what I thought was a fairly chick flick moment.

So, flash back to last weekend at Dragon in San Francisco. This guy pushed his friend to introduce himself to me around 1am or so. I was pretty flattered. His friend was cute and kinda had this urban / hipster vibe to him. After talking for a while, I found out his name was Earl. I remembered it because I immediately thought of the TV show. He remembered my name because of 'Will & Grace.' I guess we both watch enough TV to remember people's names that way. After having an interesting conversation, I decide to give Earl a ride home. I got slightly lost, but that gave us some more time to talk. Something about him was intriguing, but I couldn't quite nail it down. I arrived at his place in the Upper Haight and called it an evening. I was stupid not to give him my phone number and regretted it all week. I blame it on me being tired, because at that point it was 3:00am.

Flash forward to last night in the Castro. I was heading to the Google Castro Pub Crawl, version 2.0, but remembered Earl worked at Nirvana, a pan Asian restaurant which I went to over a month ago. It's delicious, you should try it. Nirvana is close to Badlands, the first 'pub' we were crawling.

I decided to stroll on inside after peaking in the Window to see if he was working. He indeed was. He was at the bar talking to his coworker. His back to pointing to me and I gave him a quick tap on the shoulder. He turns around and looked shocked. I'm pretty sure he remembered me. At this point it was 9:30 and i'm sure he was getting off soon. We chatted for a bit. I told him I had to go pub crawling. He said he was going to go to Hot Mess at Stud. I let him know flat out that I regretted hot giving him my phone number, So i decided to stop by and surprise him. We have the same phone, so It was easy to enter. ;)

He texted me later, giving me his number and said it was a pleasant surprise I stopped by to see him. I told him we should hang out soon.

To be continued...

Back to Dragon

I really needed to have some fun last night. You might say I've been sweet talking my buddy Ty to go out to Club Dragon all week. I haven't been for a while. Next weekend is Ty's birthday and after that, he's going to become a hermit due to studying for his LSAT's. I personally like going to Dragon for the music... it's usually fantastic.

His Diversity Sourcing group at Google went to Circus School for their quarterly group offsite. I'm kinda jealous. It sounded so fun! Juggling, Trapeze, and a ton of other fun stuff. And they went out to dinner afterwards.

I called Ty up and talked him into going out, despite his wishy-washy spirit and being tired for the evening. After all, he was in the Circus for the afternoon. I called him on my way up to the city around 9:30 and picked him up at his pad in the Sunset District, after about 10 minutes of talking him into going out. A sample excerpt is:

Ty: Oh Girl, I'm tired. I went out last weekend.
Me: You have a couple of weeks until you're hermitizing yourself. You can't keep shocking your body. You need a little warm-up.
Ty: Girl, you're working it...
Me: I learn from the best...

It was actually my first time being to his pad. I got to see the infamous shoe storage system. Lol. He place is totally cute and has some nice perks.

We then went to the Castro to pick up Joe, who was at the Cafe (The Nite is called 'Boy Bar'). Although, he didn't end up going with us, so we just headed straight to Dragon around 11:30pm. Ty kept on saying which songs he's liking recently. As I was playing my 'March Music Car CD Mix' I kept on saying 'Girl, It's on it. Just you wait.' I have good taste in music, what can I say?

We got to Dragon and Ty kinda just knows everyone. Lol. We danced for a while, even though the Hip Hop floor music set upstairs was kinda blah. Ty ended up buying me a Malibu and Pineapple, which is about as wussy as you can get. But I don't really drink anymore, so it was cool.

We ran into a lot of fellow Gayglers, slang for Gay Googlers, who were also just chillin' for the night. Jordan, who I haven't seen before (well, maybe in the Gym on campus, now that I think about it) was total eye candy. There was this funny moment of him struggling to get out his Tums. Evan ended up deciding that we need to have lunch on Wednesday. So I think a few of us are gonna shoot for Oasis Cafe, which is located in my former building (*aww memories*).

I also met Ben for the first time in person. He's a nice guy who I occasionally talk to online. He's usually at Dragon and other clubs in the city to support his friends, who might be performing for the evening.

Near the end of the evening, I met Earl, who happens to work at Nirvana. I thought he looked a bit familiar. Nirvana is an Asian Fusion restaurant in the Castro, which I happened to go to with Joe and Bill a few weeks back. The food was great and so was the Eye Candy. Haha. We talked for a bit and even got our dance on for a little while. I offered him a ride home because I had to take Ty home anyways. Earl lives in the Upper Haight, so it's on the way. Ty decided to go home with Fred, so I just took Earl home. I probably should have got his number, but I know where to visit him. Haha. I also know he'll be at Dolores Park on Sunday... which I'm gonna go to so I can chill, people watch, and see the Hunky Jesus contest. Yes, you read that right.

Outside Dragon I also met Jimmy, famous for his Tyra Banks Segment on Interracial Dating. He added me on Downelink a few days earlier. So when we kept on looking at each other outside, we kinda recognized each other. He lives in LA now but visits the Bay every so often. He's a nice guy.

I got home around 3:45am... after driving home listening to some Jams...

N'Touch With My Bad Self

President's Day weekend was pretty interesting. I actually went out on a Sunday Night in San Francisco, a rarity for a South-bay-er like myself.

Alex called me on a whim around 8:45pm and asked me if I wanted to meet up with Bill and him at N'Touch, the oldest remaining Gay Asian bar in San Francisco. He was like, 'You literally have to go in your car and meet me now. I'm meeting up with Bill at 9:45pm.'

At that point, I hadn't eaten dinner. I was planning an El Pollo Loco run, but I had to opt for something quicker. Sadly, that was my local Taco Bell, which I haven't had in ages. I grabbed a burrito and a couple of tacos and made my way on up to the City.

N'Touch is pretty far from the freeway, on Polk Street in the Northern part of the City. I found parking pretty easily and made my way inside. I think it was only Alex, the Bartender, and a few others sitting at the bar. Of those who were there, a good portion of them are usually sketch, but that makes things interesting.

I got there on time and we waited for Bill to show up. As I was looking to see if there was 'potential' around, I noticed the back of the person's head sitting right next to me. I thought, 'Oh, he's probably cute.'

The cute-back-of-the-head guy turns around and it's my friend Joe! OMG! I was so embarrassed. Haha. Turns out he was meeting up with someone he met online at Manhunt. (ya, it's gross.)

So Alex, Bill and I ended up playing pool with Joe. We had a good time. Loads of dirty talk happened. Alex was also wearing these weird cut off gloves. That and losing at pool were the few things I could remember. Lol.

Friday Night Socialite: Dinner at Zazie San Francisco

I don't normally go out to dinner as much as I should. I guess I just grab something quick from a quick casual place (a la 'Plutos' or 'El Pollo Loco') nowadays. I guess it's the routine in me.

I probably should be exploring Bay Area restaurants more like when I first transplanted myself here. It's like a foodie's heaven.

On Friday I went with Joe to a quaint French Bistro in Cole Valley (SF) called Zazie. It was super delicious. I guess they're known for their brunch, but their dinner was spectacular. They're also known for the garden patio, which I didn't experience either. I guess there are more reasons to go back. :)

It's Michelin Guide rated and is well received on Yelp, too.

When you first walk in, you notice the winding staircase to your right and the brick interior. Joe was smart enough to make reservations, something I never do. So we were seated right away.

The waiter was a nice guy, with what I can only conclude is a British or Welsh accent. He knows his food and wine.

After looking over the menu, I was trying to decide between the Steak Au Poivre and the Ravioli with Lemon Sauce. The waiter said it comes down to delicateness. I wasn't feeling anything super heavy, so I went for the Ravioli. It was very tasty. The flavors blended well in a light and airy kind of way.

Here's what I ordered:

Drink: French Cider - Really Tasty. Slightly sweet. :)
Starter: French Onion Soup - Superb!
Entree: Ricotta Ravioli in a Lemon Sauce with Crab and Aromatic Peas - Amazing!
Dessert: Vanilla Creme Brule (One Bite Only!) - Wish I had more. Haha. ;)

San Francisco Hairspray Screening

My buddy Ty invited me to a special screening of 'Hairspray' at the Metreon in San Francisco Monday Evening. There were two showings, one at 7pm and one at 7:30pm. We got in line around 6pm. Not everyone was guaranteed admission, but we got there early enough to where we were pretty sure we'd get in.

It turns out New Line/AMC Theatres made a HUGE goof. They let anyone with a 7pm movie pass into the 7:30pm showing, in effect, eliminating anyone with 7:30pm tickets a chance to see the movie. People got pissed. Very pissed. It got pretty ugly. Lets just say you don't want to get in between gay guys not getting to see a free screening of Hairspray.

After a huge fight with the management, someone was able to get those who stuck around long enough free movie passes. So it was a win-win situation overall. I got home earlier than expected, had a nice dinner with friends in the city, and got a free movie ticket I can use this weekend to see whatever I want. YES!

If you want read a whole bunch of people rant on this disaster (which apparently also happened in several other cities nationwide) go here.

Weekly Recap: 7/9 to 7/15

  • Hit my 1 year anniversary at Google. Yay for more perks!
  • Lunch on Monday with Tin and Megan to celebrate our 1 year. We went to my favorite Cafe- 5ive. Always solid, simple, and elegant food. We talked about boys boys boys. Yes!
  • I visited one of only 12 7-Eleven turned Kwik-E-Mart's. This one happens to be by my work in Mountain View, CA. Very cool indeed. It even has Yelp reviews. Lol. More pictures on Flickr.
  • On Tuesday night, I headed to dinner to celebrate the re-arrival of two of my favorite guys- Calvin and Roy. They both returned from being ambassadors in different Google offices abroad. Calvin went to India and Roy went to China. We had a great meal at this Mexican place right next to my apartment called Casa Lupe. It's a nice family run restaurant with solid food. We had a fun convo- mostly consisting of trash talking. But who doesn't love doing that on occasion? We were the last ones in the restaurant and they didn't kick us out. Haha. We then suffered a minimal amount of PLS (Parking Lot Syndrome.)
  • This week I tried the equipment at the new gym on my part of the Google Campus. It's pretty big- although not as large as the main campus' gym. However, we have some cool tricked out gym equipment. It has super high tech vibramachines, quadmills and arc trainers. Love it! This will help add a little bit of flavor to my workout routines. Not to mention it's in the building next door- which makes a quick cardio workout a lunch totally do-able.
  • Friday night I headed to SF with Mike. We went out to dinner at McCormick's and Kuleto's in Ghirardelli Square. Yes... a seafood restaurant. I ate Grilled Halibut, which I've grown fond of over the past year. We then ate a bit of dessert at Ghirardelli's next door. We tried this new Dark Chocolate Raspberry Sundae. I only had a few bites and let him do most of the eating. Haha. But it was super yummy. We then headed to the 'stro to dance at Badlands. I was happy to see Tommy back as the Bouncer. YEA! The music kinda blew, so we headed to Dragon in SoMA around Midnight. It was 'Flip The Dragon' night. That meant the music on the dancefloors flipped. Hip Hop was on the bottom floor and the dance music was on top. That just made the first floor super crazy. It was nice to see Ty and the gang, though.
  • Saturday was super chill. I had a lazy afternoon and eventually added some spice to it. I met up with some Chris M. and James S. at this dive bar in Portola Valley called the Alpine Inn. We sat in outside in vast back patio area. The weather was great to just sit back and have a beer. The weather in the South Bay has been fab. Nothing like a Fat Tire with some straighties. After that, I headed to Palo Alto for some grub at the Counter, my favorite burger place.
Alpine Inn Portala Valley The Counter Palo Alto Their Milkshake is Better than Yours Inside the Counter
The Counter Artwork The Counter Alcohol The Burger Leftovers
  • The rest of my weekend consisted of watching trashy TV and making a new music mixes. I totally have fallen in love with this new TV show on A&E called 'Confessions of a Matchmaker.' I also made time for some laundry and working out. Yay!

Two Weekends of Fun

Since I forgot to post an entry about my adventures last weekend, I thought I'd give my journal a double decker of an entry.

Last Weekend (5.29.2007 to 6.1.2007):
  • On Friday, I went with Nai to Downtown Palo Alto for dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. We failed to remember the release of the iPhone. Thus it took a good 30 minutes to go 1/2 a mile on University Avenue because of crazy Apple fans causing a commotion at the Palo Alto Apple store. Crazy amounts of press were there too. I fail to remember that I live in the Silicon Valley... the heart of world of Technology.
  • On Saturday, I had a chill day. Yes!
  • On Sunday, I had a fabulous day. It started out by carpooling to the Millbrae BART station. This was my first BART trip to SF. It was quite pleasant. The end goal was getting to Dolores Park for Steph K.'s Birthday Picnic. Good food, wonderful friends, and pleasant views make for a fun afternoon in the park. We walked around, boy-scouted, played with dogs, listened to the Energy 92.7 DJ play music in the park, hula-hooped and lounged around. You can view pics here.
  • After Dolores Park, I went to the final showing of Norm's show, Boylesque. It's not totally as scandalous as you think it might be. It was totally fun and a nice diversion in the early evening. After that, I went with a group of his buddies for dinner at Thanh Tam 2, a Vietnamese place in the Mission. It was really tasty food. We stayed away from the Pho and got other dishes. After that, Norm, Ninad, Aisha, Tu and I went to do a little dancin' at Badlands in the Castro. A few pics can be found here.

This Weekend (6.6.2007 to 6.8.2007):
  • Friday evening I ate dinner at Tomatina with Elizabeth, Lauren, Steph & Becca. Afterward, we saw Ratatouille. That was a super cute film. It made me want to go to Paris and learn how to be a chef. Haha. It actually reminded me of very early Disney cartoons. It was modern, but not in that annoyingly CGI way.
  • Saturday afternoon I met up with Norm and had lunch in Downtown Palo Alto. He was choreographing a show in San Jose, so he passed by my neck of the woods when traveling back up to Pacifica/SF. We went to Pluto's, my good ol' standby. After finishing our food, we went to the bathroom... you know, the type where only one person can enter at a time. So the Men's restroom was occupied and out comes a woman. Norm shouts, 'You don't have a Penis!' That made me chuckle. We strolled around town a bit and got some frozen yogurt at Fraiche. It's nice spending time with him.
  • Sunday was all recovery! Working out, grocery shopping, and laundry too. I talked to Kenny for a few minutes. He was flying off to Dallas this week for work. We'll meet up next week for dinner.

My First SF Pride (Kinda)




I participated quite heavily is this years 2007 San Francisco Pride festivities. The theme was 'Pride Not Prejudice.' I went to the Pink Party last year, but this is the first time I've been to San Francisco's Pride Parade. It was most def the highlight of the weekend.

FRIDAY (6.23.2007) :
  • Went to Dragon SF at Club Eight in SoMA. Met up with Nor Cal Friends and my So Cal Friends all in one venue. It was a bit strange seeing many familiar faces who would normally be at GAMeboi in Los Angeles. Pics can be viewed here.
SATURDAY (6.24.2007) :
  • Met up with Googlers (mostly AdWords Folks) for our Monthly Pub Crawl. We ended up going to Pilsner Inn in the Castro. I brought Nai along. Pics can be viewed here.
  • After the Pub Crawl, Nai and I headed over to the Pink Party in the heart of the Castro for Pride 2007. Before we went to the Pink Party, I stopped by the long line in front of The Cafe to say hello to Natalie and Deazell, a couple of my So-Cal friends. Sunday was Deazell's Birthday, so I wanted to wish him a Happy Birthday in Person. We then headed to the Pink Party to meet up with Ty and some of his friends. I also said made time to say hi to Norm and his buddies. Pics can be viewed here.
  • Since it was super cold, Nai and I decided to get some hot drinks at Quickly to warm our chilled bodies. We then got some Pizza at Nizario's. I had a bit of a slice of The Castro Special... which was delicious at 1am. We then went to Twin Peaks (AKA - The Glass Coffin) to get out of the Cold. It just so happens that a bunch of the Googlers from the Pub Crawl were here. Nai and I ended up talking to Adam for a while. We then took him home and proceeded to make our way to park near the Pride Parade route.
  • Yes... Nai and I slept in my car for a few hours. I had to wake up at 5:30 to help out with the Google Float.
SUNDAY (6.25.2007) :
  • I woke up early to volunteer to help out with the Google Float for SF Pride. Arrived at Pier 27 at 6am. Got Breakfast with Ty and Eddie at a nearby Starbucks. We then had a photo shoot on the Embarcadero.
  • George Takei, of Star Trek and Heroes fame, was the guest on our Gaygler Float. What a nice guy. So our Float had a Star Trek / Google Earth Theme. We had dancers, balloons, and loads of marchers. It was a bit nerdy, but all in good fun. It was one of the coolest things I've participated in. What other time do you get to run down Market St. in San Francisco to crowds of LGBT Friendly People? Oh and when I met George Takei, I gave him a huge hug instead of a handshake. He was a trooper. Pics can be viewed here.
  • We then headed to the Civic Center Festivities. Good Food, Fun Times, and Loads of Sunshine and cute people. Pics can be viewed here.
  • Thanks to Nai for being such a trooper Pride weekend. I wouldn't have had nearly as good of a time without him. He got no sleep and didn't bitch at me while getting sleep in my tiny car.

Teaser Entry on SF Pride 2007

This weekend was Pride in San Francisco. I had such a great time. I was in the city all three days at some point. I got to see several of my so-cal friends and loads of my nor-cal and Google buddies. I met a lot of new people. This was my first year going to/being a part of the parade. This was by far my favorite part, despite the huge time commitment and early morning hours.

Thanks to Nai for trekking it up with me on Saturday/Sunday. He's SUCH A TROOPER. It really meant a lot to me that he came up.

Here is a teaser entry from Valley Wag on Google's presence in the 2007 Pride parade: http://valleywag.com/tech/gay-pride/sulu-joins-the-starship-google-271784.php

More to come when I upload pictures and such. Must... recover.... some.... sleep....

Sunday in SF: From Dolores Park to Parking Tickets

Sunday was my 3rd day in a row in San Francisco. I honestly can't believe i spent all three days in the city. That's unheard of for a suburbia boy such as myself.

Anyways, Sunday was very fun.
  • Chilled with Norm and some of his buddies at Dolores Park. Such a beautiful view of the city skyline. I also find it interesting how the park is segmented socially. The gay guys in one area, the families in the other, etc.
Dolores Park Skyline
  • I managed to get a parking ticket while parking on Guerrero St. It was for parking over 18 inches from the curb. That's just a fancy way of saying I parked in the street. I just saw that everyone else was and I thought it was cool. Learned my $35 lesson. *Sigh*
  • We then decided to Salsa dance to a live band at El Rio in the Mission District. It's a mixed crowd, so that was nice. I really liked the band, although I don't really know how to dance to Salsa. I interpreted it in my own fashion. :P
Sunday At El Rio
  • After dancing, we grabbed some grub nearby at Papalote, a fine not-quite-hole-in-the-wall Mexican establishment. They have quite possibly the BEST salsa I've ever tasted. I'm being totally serious. Great food there.
  • Norm, Patrick, John & I decided to head to Badlands to end the night by dancing to some trashy music videos. Quite honestly, I miss seeing Tommy as the bouncer. I heard he was let go. Such a cool guy. Norm knew the door guy, so that's cool. Oh, and Rudy, who I met a few weeks back at Dragon, came up to me and said hello. I didn't remember his name, but I remembered the face.

Meet My Canadian Friend: Matt

This was somewhat of a surreal Saturday. I met Matt online about a year ago. We became pretty good friends really quickly. We had a lot in common and I knew he was a good guy.

I never thought we'd ever meet... at least not this soon. As it turns out, he was meeting another friend in San Francisco this past weekend. So we decided to meet up and hang out for a bit at Badlands SF in the Castro.

Although we didn't hang out for more than an hour and a half, due to unfortunate circumstances, it was a pleasure meeting him in person. I still find it interesting meeting people in person after you only know them online. What's their voice going to sound like? What about their mannerisms? One of the first things out of Matt's mouth was, 'I thought you'd be Taller!'

I might make a trip up to Vancouver one weekend this summer. I've heard it's a beautiful place...

Friday Night (6.15.07) - Jet, San Francisco

I made back up to SF on Friday to hang out with Ty, one of my co-workers, and some of his buddies. As usual, it was scandalous fun. Jet is the Castro's 'Hip Hop' club. The music is always great. It's super tiny, but I guess that adds to the fun.

Pictures can be found here:

Dragon SF: Fri. June 1st, 2007

I ended up going to Dragon (held at Club Eight) last Friday. I was kinda talked into it by Ty and Devon. I had a pretty good time and met loads of new folks. I also ran into some familiar faces, that being Kelvin and Ronald. The photos can be viewed below:

Nancy in SF / Dinner at Incanto: Fri. June 1st, 2007

Nancy, one of my old co-workers, who now is based out of Kansas City, came to SF last weekend. Jackie, Danny, Jen, Steph and I had dinner with Nancy at an Italian restaurant in the SF district of Noe Valley called Incanto.

I thought the food was inventive and an unconventional approach to traditional Italian food. One of the cool things is that every table gets complimentary sparking water or filtered water. That's a nice touch if you don't feel like drinking. I ended up getting the Balsamic-braised pork shoulder with polenta. We also had some wine and nice desserts. I believe the desserts were the 'Milk chocolate mocha with frozen cherry pearls' and 'panna cotta with strawberries & 15-year balsamic.' The panna cotta was pretty amazing stuff. It was a nice night out with fun conversation involving boy and girl talk. What else can you ask for?

Cinco De Mayo: From Being Productive To Being Attacked

Yesterday was productive and fun. The first half of the day involved working out, doing laundry, and getting my hair cut. I also tried to catch up on some TV.

At night, I met up with Alex in the city. We haven't had a hang out session in a while now that he moved to SF. Earlier in the day, he went on some drunken Cinco De Mayo scavenger hunt that was intense. He was pretty tired, but he was still willing to grab dinner and go to a bar. I know how tired he was, so thanks!

I picked him up at his Pacific Heights apt, we drove to the Castro and got dinner at Fuzio: Universal Pasta. At first I was trying to figure out why the place looked familiar on the outside. It was because there was one near the UCDC center in Washington DC in Dupont Circle. (Although I hear it's closed now) It's a tiny chain, with fewer than 10 locations. I ended up getting the Classic Chicken Parmesan and a Blackberry Cosmo. The food was cheap and good. Although the drink was nearly as costly as my entree. It was a nice twist on a Cosmo though. I liked how the entree came with a bit of pasta and some spinach. Nice touch.

After Dinner, Alex and I went to the Cafe. The people who go are kinda sketch. The music was okay. I mean we've been before, but Alex didn't want to go to Badlands because he was tired. I think we should have went to The Bar instead. While there, there was the Jose Cuervo promoter who gave Alex and I sweatbands. He also gave me a free shot of something. I think it was something peach flavored with Cuervo. Not bad. After the Cafe, Alex decided to leave at midnight because he was uber tired.

I decided to stay a bit longer and head to Badlands. I haven't been in a while. The line was super long, but It didn't take all that long to get in. The music was really good. I had a pretty good time just releasing energy. Interestingly enough, I ran into JESSE from WORKOUT on Bravo. I saw him last Thursday in LA at the Abbey. It felt like a bit of LA right in San Francisco.

The weird moment of the night
: A guy at Badlands attacked me from behind during 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston. He would not let go of me. I tried escaping several times. I decided to just dance with him and bounce right after the song. He slow danced like in High School... putting his head on my shoulders. He tried to get fresh with me and I totally wasn't having it. That was my cue to leave Badlands. Haha.
