The weekend and week so far

The Lone Star (Loin Stare)
1. I forgot why the old Bear Weekend or Bear Rendezvous is not an annual thing anymore, but Bear Week/Weekend in SF last weekend was sort of OK I guess.
2. It really was mostly the same as any other weekend. Yes a few new faces in town, making bars a bit more packed, probably due to the 3 day holiday weekend for sure. But in all, I just mostly saw the same people out as I usually do! LOL.
3. The weather was beautiful (I think we had record high temps), which would of been perfect to have as orinally planned the BOSF (Bears of SF) Beer Bust event at the Eagle. This event had to be moved to 440 Castro, due to permit issues not being remedied in time.
4. Maybe it would of not been a good venue for this event anyway. Friend Jack, who was running the event told me that the Eagle would of been a mess on first opening. Not enough staff possibly to handle the curious regular and visiting crowd. Best to reopen on a normal non event weekend I suppose.
5. So I think, that it is to open by March. We shall see. One thing someone mentioned, is in order this time for the Eagle to survive, it might be best to make it straight/mixed Mon-Thurs/Fri, and then the as normal Sat/Sun beer bust for the gay crowd. Much like Beat-Box does. This neighborhood is becoming mostly straight anyway
6. Friday, after dinner, I did manage to meet Mark and Lee at the Lone Star, for Wood, an Bear Weekend event. The bar was a bit quiet at first but by 10 pm it was packed. Especially the patio. We later ended up at 440 for a bit.
7. I didn't venture to my SF gyms over the weekend, but stayed at my local town gym instead.
8. Saturday I started doing paper organizing for taxes. Then it was off to 440 for the BOSF event. Mark and I helped sell Jello shots. It was fun. Being it was an early afternoon event, I was able to get home early
9. Sunday, I ran into my old trainer at my gym. We talked a bit. He suggested I do cardio in the morning, when the BMR is at it's lowest, to lose weight. So I was up early this morning and to the gym. I go back tonight to work with weights.
10. Sunday, on my way up to SF to Furry Sunday event, I stopped off at Mr S Leather, to get a new ring, and look at the stuff. OMG. Some of the stuff is $$$$! But hot stuff too. I need to get a new leather vest, pants, and shirt. I'll certainly shop around carefully when ready.
11. Presidents Day, Monday, was a holiday for many, but not for me. Had to work. But it was pretty quiet. That's because corporate was closed. Boo for them!
