Folsom Street Fair 2008 – come and gone

We survived another Folsom Street Fair.  A college friend of mine, Tim, flew in from Hawaii for the shananigans.  Friday night, we headed out late for some beers at Chaps 2 and then pretty much called it a night.  Saturday, we went shopping and bummed around town.  In the evening, I sported my new assless [...]

Hippies in the trees

Having lived in the SF Bay Area for close to 20 years, I’ve seen my share of protests — especially in Berkeley.  Today, after 21 months, the “final four” hippies who took over a useless grove of coast live oak trees adjacent to the Cal Berkeley Stadium finally were forced came down today and were [...]

I can never tell

I swear.  When you live in San Francisco, you never know who is gay versus staight.  Of course, we all claim sexuality is a sliding scale.  We all sit at different points along it.  But, we still use extreme labels such as gay and straight, white and black, hot or not nonetheless.  As I check [...]

Tranny train attack

Seen on my train ride to work just now. A tranny trying to sneak a ride on CalTrain assaulted a conductor and spit in her face — then pranced off the train in badly fitting high heels. Right now, she is getting arrested. And, I am being questioned as a witness. Never a dull moment!

Overheard on the train (only in San Francisco)

Two Silicon Valley women heading to work next to me: VALLEY HAG #1:  I think that Chris from HR has a puppy crush on me. VALLEY HAG #2:  Is Chris a guy or girl? Just like they were talking normal office politics…

Looking young on Putney Mountain

In my last blog post, I ran a photo of me and asked you all to guess how young I was.  It was taken in 1990 and I was 24!  I look 12 and I can’t even remember being that young although it seems like yesterday in so many ways.  It’s weird to look at [...]
