Two keepers in one

Anyone remember this?


On Sundays, this was the place to end the evening. The I-Beam Tea Dance. Packed to the rafters with eye candy everywhere. In the front of the dance floor, was a stage, open to all to dance on, and of course, fabulous fan and banner dancers were strutting their stuff on stage too.
Free Tickets were occasionally given out at on Sunday afternoons at various venues. So on a Sunday evenings after the Eagle beer bust it was off to the I-Beam. Later on, I continued going with my newly met first BF. He lived in the Haight, so it made it even more convenient.


In the mid 80's me an my first boyfriend spent the weekend up at the Russian River. While walking on the sidewalk, we spotted two very handsome(incredibly handsome) men eating at an outdoor restaurant. It was Al Parker. During my coming out in the 80's he was my favorite porn star. I boldly walked up to he and his BF, and talked a bit, and asked for his autograph. He was very nice. Fumbling, I searched my wallet for something to write on. It was the I Beam ticket. Cordially, he signed his name, and said thank you. Of course all day that day I was ecstatic. Especially later on, when I saw both of them around town. Slurp!

Hookups made easy and cellphones in bars

1. My friend just showed me his iPhone with his new Grindr application. So whoever is on Grindr, and if they are in close proximity to you, their profile will appear.

Now what would be interesting, is if 50 people in a crowded bar had this app. Or would it? Maybe too much at once! lol

2. Last week, while at 440, I noticed a very handsome man, sitting at the bar with his iPhone or smart phone type). He was literally spending at least 45 minutes texting, and rarely looking up, except to buy a drink from Nick. Then I noticed another guy, in the front corner doing the same. Not looking up. Not really doing any eye contact with anyone. No eye contact, verbal contact, no hint of physical communication whatsoever. Uh. He probably missed some hot men cruising him. Can he not put that phone down for one minute? Maybe we are too phone dependent?

Off to the Eagle

1. So glad I'm only 15 mins away. I am finally liking living in SSF (except for the fog).
2. I was off the cuff thinking of making a small leather harness for my turtle and bringing him to the Eagle Bust as a joke.
3. I don't think Chips would like it O-o
