This weekend began with a delightful visit with

urbear . His flight arrived somewhat later in the evening. It was a bit late for a shared dinner, however a shared "desert" or "an after midnight snack" was a delightful treat. Yum! :-) :-) :-). Woof!

Midday, on Saturday, a small group of us, representing Mamas' Leather Family,and Mama, drove up to Sacramento, for the Sacramento Imperial Court Coronation. All that went, are members of the San Francisco Imperial Court. We are formally introduced to the members of the local court as part of protocol. The event was held at Faces (Feces). The new remodel is grand. They even have a swimming pool in the back patio!

We were to stay at Brian's new home, which was a short drive to the festivities. After the festivities, Carlos and I met up with Carlos' house mate David, who also has an apt in the Lavender Heights neighborhood. We and the "family" hopped from bar to bar. Warm evenings = lots of hotties. Our last stop was at the BOLT, for "Bear Night" Gurrrrrr. David was kind to drive us, which gave Carlos and I a chance to really relax and party, which I have not done in a long time. After bar closing, Mama and the group left, and Carlos and I ended up at David's apt Heights. Lacking in beverages, David gave us Red Bull and Vodka, a real wakeup drink..... at 3 in the morning! So to top it off, David gave us a Xanex to help us sleep. I passed out immediately. Carlos, with his sleep apnea, did not have his Cpap. It was at Brians. But in spite of my sleeping on Xanex, next to Carlos, I could still hear the roaring snore next to me, as I slept. But at least I slept. Or partially slept.

Made it back to SF by noon, then later off to Eagle Bust, to catch up with the gang, (was good to see

hartseyeview , it's been awhile), and Lone Star Bear Bust. Pooped, I am droping fast, .........So for now I'm off to dive into the sheets.............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The Court and court system (history/info) is a bit tedious to explain, and seems a bit strange to most. It was founded by Empress Jose (1965 San Francisco) as a fundraising and educational organization, in part to fight the injustices of the gay community, and their treatment as second class citizens. Imperial court and the chapters cover the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Jose who is 85, and who still has a good sense of humor, is still very much active in the community. (Note: When Gore was running for president, he had his staff researched who were the largest fundraising organizations in the US. The Red Cross topped the list. Second was the Imperial Court and their chapters, which raise millions annually for all causes that affect the gay community.
