Apparently This Happened (Part H8)

Love You Dee and Max!

I just arrived back in New York from San Francisco. Dee and Max's wedding was beautiful! The ceremony had me in tears. I wish I had taken more photographs, but it ended up being such a whirlwind of a week!

Vows

I am headed back to San Francisco for a few days for the wedding of my dear friends Dee and Max, who have basically become my second family! The ceremony is to be held in Golden Gate Park which is always a treat, and it looks as though the weather is going to be perfect! I have been deemed the honor of best man, which in my case should actually be called "worst man" as I do not give speeches and I believe it comes with the territory. Sorry Dee and Max!
While I am there I will also be attending the 8 year anniversary of Built for Speed. If it turns out anything like past years, it should be wild!

Paper Streets

It's funny how I hardly ever seem to take pictures of people. I usually end up snapping odd objects, graffiti, and other various street art. Here are a few photos taken in the Mission district from my last visit to San Francisco.

Home

After spending a week in San Francisco, two weeks in L.A., back to San Francisco for two weeks, L.A. for a weekend, and Denver for a week, I am finally heading back to New York today.
When I arrived at the airport the desk clerk was unable to find any flight information for me. It turns out that my flight was actually suppose to leave tomorrow! I guess that's what I get for never looking at my itinerary until the very last minute. Fortunately, I got on a different flight that lands just a couple of hours later than my original flight. (Or at least what I thought was my original flight. Haha!) Unfortunately I have a layover in Atlanta!
I can't wait to sleep in my own bed tonight! It's been way too long!

Sicko!

So, I have spent the entire time that I have been in San Francisco/Los Angeles/San Francisco with some variant of cold and or flu. Next stop Denver. I am in hopes that there I will find myself in a more comforting state of health!

Love Letters

Dear San Francisco,
Why do you make it so easy to do absolutely nothing? You will be the death of me! It's a love/hate thing!

Dear New York,
Why do you inspire me so much? Oh how I long for thee! Can't wait to be back in your arms again!

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

I missed my flight back to San Francisco. I could have made it, but the staff at American Airlines at JFK seem to think that it's more important to talk about their weekend plans with co-workers than to help passengers waiting in long lines! The next flight wasn't until the morning, so I lugged myself and my luggage back to Brooklyn. The good thing that came out of it was that I had a lovely dinner with Cecilia and Bret at our friend's Eric and Reba's house. I maybe got two hours of sleep before I had to head back to the airport. I would have slept on the plane, but it was freezing, even with the three blankets I requested. I finally made it. Exhausted and chilled to the bone, but I made it!
My friend Dee was kind enough to pick me up from the airport. Thanks Dee! I don't think I could have handled taking anymore public transport at that point.
Dee was working at The Dovre that night, so I went down there for a few drinks. A bunch of friends showed up. It was great seeing everyone. Then we headed over to The Lexington Club for a drink. After that, I'm not sure why I agreed to go, but we went to a Burning Man Decompression party. Not really my thing, but entertaining to say the least. When the event ended, we walked over to The Retox Lounge and danced. Everyone was so wasted at that point, that I had to get out of there, so I took the bus home. I never usually take the bus in San Francisco, but I was so tired.
Yesterday I had Dinner with my dear friends Brooke and Jaime in Oakland. I'm surprised I made it considering the lovely hangover that I had acquired from the night before!
Today it's pouring buckets of rain. At one point this morning it was so windy the apartment actually shook. Unless it was an earthquake, but that seems pretty unlikely with the weather. I think today might be a great day to do absolutely nothing besides watching a little bad television... or maybe a lot!

Hello San Francisco

Tonight I head back to San Francisco for a couple of weeks, and then Los Angeles for two weeks for work. It doesn't feel like I've been here long enough to be leaving already, but a boys gotta make some money! I'm very excited to see all my peeps though!

My Little Pony (Pegasus)

I saw this stuffed Pegasus outside of the Salvation Army store in the Mission district . A mexican family had their eye on it, but I somehow managed to talk them into letting me have it. What a douche I am. My friend Max dubbed him "Wonder Cunt". Not the name that I would have chosen. A bit vulgar for a Pegasus, but I let it go. I brought it to the liquor store with me to buy cigarettes, and then out to the bar. Everyone fell instantly in love with it. When my friend Jesse attempted to light it on fire I figured it was time to get rid of him and set him free. If only I would had done the right thing and just let the mexican family take it in the first place!

I Love The Nightlife

I finally made it to Nightlife at The Academy of Science. I had a hard time focusing on the exhibits as the people watching and the bar became much more interesting. I wish I had taken more pictures.


roaches.

lizard.



frogs.

fish.

After days and days of passing by the most enticing scent I have ever smelled, I finally went in and bought a dozen delicious cookies from Anthony's Cookies on Valencia Street. It was so worth it! Not only are the cookies delicious, but the staff is over the top helpful and sweet. I even met Anthony himself, who is one of the nicest guys ever. He claims that the all organic, peanut butter cooke is on it's way! I can't wait! Peanut butter cookies are my favorite next to oatmeal! Funny that I claim not to like sweets!

BBQ

I was feeling a bit anti-social yesterday. Then I arrived at the "onesie barbeque!" Too much fun! Drinking, dancing, hot lesbians, making out! Who could ask for more?














Of course today was quite painful!!!!
