Bearracuda

1. The weekend actually semi started last Thursday. Friend Mark was emceeing the Bear Chest Calendar Jock Strap Auction, benefiting the Aids Emergency Fund. Beforehand, I met up with John,

rockyotter, from Pender Is, Canada, who is visiting/house sitting a friend's home in SF. We went for a basic Mexican Meal at Don Ramons, then walked to the Powerhouse for the event. It was packed! So packed they could not accept any more coats in the coat check booth. Doesn't anyone work on Friday's? We also met Tom and Lee there.

2. Contest went well. We only stayed until 11 pm. I had to work Friday. Had to be at a Burlingame property early. Looks like I'll be working there 2 days per week, for a manager who is getting knee surgery. She will be out for 3 months.

3. So the Bare Chest Calendar Men, get up on stage, with used and abused jock straps and auction it off to the lucky winner. I was told later that night, one paid $250 for one smelly jock strap from one hot guy. They did well that night and raised over $2000 for the worthy cause. Our newly made friends from our New Orleans trip, Londoners, Marc and Luca showed up to the event, but late. We missed seeing them. So hopefully we would see them the next night at Bearracuda.

4. Friday, friend Sacramento Tom came down to stay a few days for Folsom fair. After work, we went to meet the gang, Mark, Lee, Tom, and visiting John at the Midnight Sun for Bear Happy Hr, go to 440, then for a quick bite before going to Bearracuda.

5. In the meantime, Ho, who worked that night, text-ed us that Seth, the go go dancer we saw at OZ in New Orleans, will be at Lookout that night also. So after dinner we all stopped at Lookout, on way to Bearracuda, to say hi, get our pictures taken, and tease Ho, about us being with his "Husband.' Seth is a good guy and a good sport :)

6. We made it to Bearracuda. Wow! What a fun event! Music, dancers (woof!), and light show was great! I had only been to the monthly Bearracuda a few times, which was OK. But this time. Wow! I don't usually like packed dance clubs, where you can hardly move. But seeing that the floor was packed with Bears, Muscle Bears, and lots of eye candy, it was worth the squeeze! Towards the end of the evening, we were finally surprised by seeing Marc and Luca! Yay! Marc, showed up shirtless. Shy Luca finally took off his shirt just before we left. They had told us, that they had not worked out in 2 months and were eating badly. We responded "We hate you! LOL" They looked great! Luca with his furry chest, and abs. Yum! It was getting late, 2am, so we said our goodbyes. And it off to get some z's. Luca and Marc were flying to London in a few hrs, so they decided to stay up through the morning, and sleep on the plane back. They are really a nice couple. Marc said next trip, they will just come to California. Go back and continue to visit and hike Yosemite, and see more of Northern California.

7. The next morning, Tom and I decided to go to the nude beach, San Gregorio. Nude or not, I'm glad we went! I love this beach! It was so nice to see the surf (and some hot men), taste and smell the salt air (and some hot men). We found a great condo, from the many to choose from, and just relaxed. . We stayed for a few hrs, but I had to get back, showered and dressed for the Ducal Coronation, in downtown SF. Picked up Ho and Mark. We did not stay too long. Tom and I later went to the Lone Star. The patio was too packed to even try to smoke a cigar. So we, and the other Tom, and Lee stayed inside.

8. The next day it was off to Donna Sachet's annual Leather Title Holder Brunch. Our gang, including Jim met there for some catch up with friends and acquaintances. Then it was off to the Folsom Street Fair. Running late I missed the annual Mama's Family photo shoot. No biggie. Weather was good, until the cold wind started up late afternoon. Went to the Lone Star. We also went to the parking lot across from the Eagle, for an Eagle Opening fundraiser, meet and greet.

9. Later it was off to 440, with Mark, Patrick, Tom, Lee, Sac Tom, and Jim, for a bit. Then to Cafe Mystique for dinner. Yum! Home by 10 pm, Tom took a nap before driving back home to Sacramento. I fell asleep watching the Emmy Awards. All in all I got about 10 hrs sleep! But the busy 4 days, still caught up with me. It will be early to bed tonight!
