I feel like I totally lost a month. July was here, and then it just disappeared. I'm sorry my dear readers if I have neglected all three of you. Not my intention. I think Mercury was out of retrograde and Jupiter had aligned with Mars coinciding in a super busy month. Needless to say both my liver and my sanity are slowly recovering. I blame it on the weed. No, the beer. No, the barbecue. Oh, fuck it. I blame it on all three.
Here's what happened while I was away . . .
Cried my eyes out at the six gay weddings I helped put togehter. Later celebrated with a drag king show at the White Horse Inn. Got hit on by my favorite peppy Puerto Rican, Papi Gil. By the time the "guys" came on stage was completely hammered.
As always found some time to unwind and detox in Sonoma. Nothing like watching fireworks between a row of grape vines.
The rest was much needed because the following week was the East Bay Express Best of the East Bay Party! Too much good stuff would have been the tag-line for that event if AM/PM hadn't already copywritten it. Totally excited about next year's. I'm all about parties. I was just happy my coz came to help out from Sonoma. Having a guest always gives me a great excuse to head over to The Dead Fish in Crockett. Brunching on crab benedict and other seafood goodies while sitting outside right above the Sacramento River is a perfect way to kick-off the weekend.
Discovered a new more distinguished Happy Hour at Periscope Cellars Wine Wednesdays. I believe my group was actually caught on camera scarfing down cheese and downing the wine. I'm still trying to find CBS 5's "Eye on the Bay" segment.
Had to have my fill of Kitty's of course. It had been a while since I'd gotten my $2 PBR on. I like to save the mojitos for our staff meetings.
Fell in love with Feist at The Greek Theater on the UC Berkeley campus courtesy of Another Planet Entertainment. She's so cute. I heart Canadian folk-rockers from Toronto even if the only song I really know is the one from the Apple iPod Nano commercial.
The next day it was off to The Warehouse Cafe in Port Costa. Sundays are apparently a special day at this bar that serves over 400 beers because they have a delicious barbecue, and live music which is great to listen to when you've had your share of pear cider. I happen to like this place not only for the fabulous view of the murkey Sacramento River, or the thunder of Harley's being started by, but because the owner and I share the same name. Like I say, it's the little things that make me smile.
And it's the little things that keep me smiling when I've had too many beers, pot brownies and barbecues. Or, is it the brownies that keep me smiling?
