On Sunday, I made a very brief visit to the Eagle and Lone Star busts to make an appearance before heading over to the Bench And Bar for The Team Bear Send-off Party. I got my massage chair set up in a lovely location, and almost from the get-go, I was fairly busy. Ended up massaging for three-and-a-half hours and raised $208 (well, technically $216, but I bought a cocktail before I turned the cash in to Pete) for Team Bear! Hooray!
The party overall raised around $1300, so that was groovy. Team Bear has raised over $100k through individual fund raising efforts as well as group activities like beer busts and parties. The final total will be known shortly. It’s not too late to make a donation to the AIDS/LifeCycle via my donation page! Any donation, no matter how small or large, is tremendously appreciated.
We had a band perform, ejector, and if you get a chance to see them live, I urge you to do so – they are the next Erasure/Pet Shop Boys… and they’re local San Francisco guys.
After that, Pete, Aaron, Zack, Jessie and I went to Mel’s Drive-In on Mission back in San Francisco. They were all going to be going to Sanctuary, but after the meal, Zack and Jessie headed somewhere, and Pete, Aaron, and I went to 440 for a nightcap. Not too long after that, though, everyone was tired, and we said goodnight. I got home around 02:30 and was asleep by around 03:00. A fun evening.
Monday was the last Team Bear fundraiser of the season – a beer bust at the Lone Star. Fortunately, I didn’t have to work it, but I did have a few beers, socialized, and announced the final raffle of the evening, so that was fun. After the bust, Pete, Aaron, Sister Uma God, and I went to Ali Baba’s for Mediterranean food. It was moderately groovy, but I don’t really have to go back.
Go vote for Jameth now! Thank you.
