Week In Review, RRR, Team Bear Beer Bust

Well, it’s been an interesting week, starting last Saturday with my family holiday party, followed by a party in the Dorothea Puente house.  Puente, for those of you not following the link, is a convicted serial killer who murdered the elderly men on Social Security and disability who boarded with her, and pocketed their checks, in some cases writing letters to their families explaining why they hadn’t been in contact.  Very creepy, but the house was really nice.

Something that happened at that party was a 20-year old confused young man hit on me in a strange and drunken way.  It turns out that he was part of a fairly conservative religious family, and his drunken behavior was a way of trying to cope with his feelings of attraction toward men.  Poor kid.

Anyway, it was a slow but not completely unproductive work week, and on Thursday I headed up to the Russian River Resort with Pete King to promote this new event, Polar Bear Weekend.  Did you know that Zipcar gift certificate codes make a great gift?  Or better still, did you know that you can have a friend pay for your use of a car by using them?  Pete very generously paid for the car, and I drove, being a Zipcar member.  We passed out posters and flyers and talked to people about the event.  Given its short three-week starting date, we are trying to get the word out to as many people as possible in a short time.

Friday, I drove back down to return the car, and Frank Martin (ednixon), Big John in San Francisco, and I took a trip down to Sunnyvale to Fry’s.  On the way, we stopped for lunch at Pho Nam as a part of John’s quest for the perfect bowl of Bun Bo Hue.

Today is the Team Bear Meet-n-Greet and Beer Bust at the Lone Star Saloon starting at 14:00 (2pm) for the Meet-n-Greet and 15:00 to 19:00 (3 to 7pm) for the Beer Bust.  I’ll be down there with my massage chair, and we’ll have food out back, as well as a 50-50 raffle!
