Weekend summary

11:15am PST Sunday 15 December 2002

No telling if I'll realisitically finish this entry, much less forge a play by play of the weekend.

(summary: Sally called her friend Jennifer on Thursday to wish her happy birthday. Jennifer said (during a 2 hour phone call) come up to my party in San Francisco. So we did and had great fun.)

Plane delayed a couple hours getting there due to rain in San Francisco.

Great party: with a tall girl and guy in leather, and gay males giving me eyes and sharing stories of Costa Rica with Christine and her brother Dan, meeting Patty who seemed as comfortable as being a wallflower. Met Shauna (sp) who goes by Trixie when she goes bowling. Met Serena and Jennifer, friends of Sally's from Oberlin. Others are from Oberlin as well but I don't remember who.

Dan put some funk on stereo and we danced our own little grooves for about 30 minutes. I was thankful to have someone else there who would dance like no one was watching. (which they really weren't watching, but still)

Tall girl was named Liza. Dressed in leather for the party, she turned out to be really sweet, from Georgia, with soft friendly Georgia accent, and who now works at Tiffany's. She's 6' 1", and was 6' 8" in her go-go boot-heels.

zzzz around 4am. (I really have no idea what time it was, but it was late)

In the AM Dan and I cleaned up the bulk of glasses and beverage remains from the party.

Went to Samba class at 10:30 AM with Sally. I was mostly able to keep up, but not completely. Thankful for the extra help Silvana gave me. Her class is 10:30-noon at Dance Mission on 24th and Mission in San Francisco. Once that class was over, we stayed and listened to some cats play afro-cuban drums tirelessly. At 12:30, Sally went back to Jennifer's and I went to Hip Hop class (beginner). I learned about 8 beats worth of the 48 beat routine he spelled out for us. I left about 20 minutes early cause it felt like time, and I was certainly not keeping up with the class. I did some of Rob's Crazy Dance on the side while they were practicing stuff that I just couldn't seem to get.

BARTed home and it started raining just as I was 1/2 block from Jennifer's house. Perfect timing (see?) as they were just about to go lunch somewhere.

Phu for lunch with Sally and Jennifer. Got a present for Wende. (Winnie the Pooh mechanical pencil)

Home, napped like three sardines with Sally and Jennifer on the couch bed.

Awake, got tickets for the musical version of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. We all went to Shauna (Trixie's) to chat as the girls got dressed. Ate at an expensive place. Went to see Hedwig.

I didn't get all the symbolism.

Stayed up until 4am chatting afterward.

Back to Jennifer's and to sleep by 5am. Sally called a cab to take us to the airport at 7am.

Zzzzzz

Slept most of the way on plane home to Hell-A and Rob = shower now.

sailing

6:17pm PST Sunday 15 December 2002

Went sailing on a 30 foot Shields (sloop rigged keel boat) with Sally and Jasmine today.

Jasmine's voice and laugh are *amazingly* like Danielle Bartley from UH! So incredible how similar they are.

Jasmine was the official skipper of our voyage to the seals and back, but we all shared time at the tiller.

The seals were awake this time, and not bathed in sunlight until 5 minutes after we left their area. I got several pics and two mpegs of them.

Got pretty cold on the way back, and I had to pee pretty much a lot. We got back before the sun set, and before I had to go overboard.
