The 30th, and happy funtimes in the Castro district!
It so happened that JD and Ursie were in town at the same time, JD on his way back in from Vegas, and Ursie on her way back in from getting married in Korea. This occasioned a meetup.
We got off to a late-ish start, which was contributed to by the sausage incident. JD's phone had been behaving badly and not charging properly, and we set out to get his phone looked at and hit his bank. Unfortunately, the banks were closed and the phone place was not the sort he needed. Furthermore, I was starting to get a bit of an agoraphobia/claustrophobia attack just from driving. Instead of meeting up in Golden Gate Park, JD and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ursamajor determined that we would meet up at a bookshop, in this case A Different Light. So that's what we did.
Public transit is fun. I had been suffering from generalized OW WTF MY KNEES AND LEGS, which was a fun positive feedback loop involving knees not wanting to be bothered, lack of my usual walks with my aunt, the lack of walks eroding my endurance, and the lack of endurance contributing to my legs having had quite enough of this foolishness. I brought my umbrella to lean on, and this was a good choice.
We wound up at A Different Light reasonably before the rest of the party, and poked around. I found books. JD found books.ursamajor arrived, with hyounpark in tow, along with two people I'd never met before. I spied Ursie with no problem, and there was immediate hugging, and catching up on the things that had been happening in her absence. I found a card about a Saint of Modern Communication, with a Blackberry. I showed it to Ursie. She showed it to Hyoun. He was able to identify the model. We were in hysterics. There was gossip.
At length, we decided it was lunchtime. (It was getting quite late in the afternoon.) We went a few doors down to a taqueria (La Tortilla).
Since this was us meeting up, there were nachos (not Alton Brown anal nachos, however).
We wandered off and got gelato. I had vanilla, rose, nutella, and ... something. It was all tasty.
JD spied event posters, including a DJ Earworm.
Everybody else checked out the history display; I stayed outside as I was getting very tired and my everything hurt and my assorted phobias were getting crankier. I took the opportunity to take pictures. The hot guy from the bookstore walked past at one point.
Eventually we went our separate ways.
It was great fun!

Have you ever been to DC, to the main gay neighborhood there, Dupont Circle? Lots of 19th century stone and brick.

Since I just watched Milk (finally) a couple weeks ago I was really psyched to see the pics from Milk Plaza. I'm still mad that he doesn't get to be around to see how far things have come.
If you're ever in MA in summer, come visit Provincetown - a whole queer-centric resort city. It's awesome. I even took my straight dorky parents there, and apart from goggling a little overtly at the "naked [aka in hotpants] gay cowboys" walking down the street once, it had something for everyone :D.

Re: The 30th, and happy funtimes in the Castro district!
i love the threeway photographing, complete with artistic focal blur. *grin*.
and there are some really spiffy pics of non-people. i especially like the one of the chairs.
Re: The 30th, and happy funtimes in the Castro district!
JD's hair is consistently awesome.
Those chairs were awesome, and the colors in there were amazing.

I'm... kinda' sorta' thinking about coming out there for a few days either at the tail end of July or beginning of August. Probably a short visit, but I still have vacation time, and with ample planning I can finagle a few days off *g*

In Las Vegas and Phoenix though, oh, that was glorious. It was like I never had allergies, never had fibromyalgia, and like the asthma was pretty much gone. No broken glass in the joints, almost no wheezing, I loved it.
Not to mention the beneficial mental and emotional health aspects :D
