LA story

I've just returned from a whirlwind West Hollywood weekend and I'm tres exhausted. And although it was a short weekend and I have been back in San Francisco for only about an hour, I'm having trouble remembering all the details of the trip. Perhaps it's because my friends and I spent much of the weekend in an inebriated state!

With eight loud and fun gays, there was bound to be fun times, frivolity and even some drama. All in all, it was a fun trip and there were many highlights:

* Spending almost every waking hour of the weekend at The Abbey

* Lunch at the Ivy where Blanca raved and raved about the chopped salad and decided instead to get a rather pricey steak

* Margaritas at Marix where TurboBoob paid us a visit and we got to catch up in person

* Selives finding himself the subject of some very amorous attention, resulting in quite an impressive set of hickeys

* Blanca losing his phone, only to have it recovered (fully charged) by a mysterious maid who recognized one of the recent calls

* A devastated hotel mini-bar

* Mahogany Sparkle declaring to Blanca while waving a menacing finger in his face, "We'll talk about this tomorrow!" and storming out of the hotel room

* Roommate J screaming "bing bong" on our return flight

* A late-night/early-morning heart-to-heart with Selives and Roommates A&J

* A drunken Panda!!!! who screamed at his friends and refused to pay for a round of drinks

* Selives and PorkChop in some very extravagant drag costumes, which resulted in the "potential American Eagle theft" incident that sent Roommates A&J over the edge

* Bill Paxton earning a new nickname; henceforth to be known as Dyson

* Lounging in the jacuzzi while Mahogany Sparkle worked hard and poured drinks

It was a great little getaway, but Panda!!!! sure is tired.
