New Year’s Eve 2000

The end of the Millennium and the demarcation line into the future, or something. New Year’s Eve is one of my favorite holidays and I was looking to make this one the best ever. My plan: dancing the night away at the Rawhide.I figured it was going to take me a long time to get […]

Infinity

Infinity at the Rawhide tonight, which was fifteen bucks to get in and had a sparse crowd, although there were definitely some pretty people in attendance. The music kicked ass and I’ll look forward to some gigs by this crew again. We’ll see if it’s a weekly or a monthly. Tomorrow is my favorite holiday, […]

Generic Party at the Rawhide

I looked on SFStation to decide how to begin my New Year’s weekend, and I called Patrick, who was planning on checking out our default club, the Rawhide. I offered to pick him and Gigi up, with Dan and Zoe riding along for good measure. A new crew whose flier I didn’t snag and whose […]


Heading Home after Christmas

Last day in Idaho started out alright, although I woke up about 10:30. My kids were ready to go home and sleep in their own beds again for the first time since Sunday, but my flight wasn’t to leave until 9:20. I hung out with them until four, when my ex-wife came to take them […]


Grandma, Kids, and a Good Friend

The last couple of days at Grandma’s house have been great. We’ve watched Chicken Run (2000) and Titan A.E., ate the worst pizza (Klondike of Ontario, Oregon), and played some chess. My son is a superb chess player for a seven-year-old who doesn’t own a complete chess set (he used to, but kids lose pawns […]


Christmas 2000

At Grandma’s house, we unwrap everything on X-mas eve, so all of the various people can spend the holiday at places where they unwrap all the gifts on that day. Most everyone had another house to go to today. My brother had his in-laws in Willow Creek, 40 miles away. My sister’s in-laws live in […]


Christmas Eve 2000

Frankie hooked me up with a ride to the airport this morning at a smudge after four o’clock. My flight to Boise, scheduled to depart at half past six, was on time and the flight went without incident. Boise had some residual snow when I arrived, but nothing significant. The roads were all dry. I […]


Frankie Goes to Mountain View

I spent last night at home, watching a couple of flicks, having farted around long enough that heading to the city would have been pretty lame. In additional preparation for my upcoming trip to Idaho, which happens tomorrow, and my own sanity, I purchased a digital camera—the Olympus D-460 Zoom—which will alleviate my need to […]

Velvet Shop

In preparation for my trip to Idaho, and my probably inability to go out on Saturday night, I finally got around to wandering down to Wave’s Smokehouse Saloon again for Velvet Shop. On the decks was Marshall Jefferson—the Godfather of House—who blistered the speakers with a sweet mix of very funky shit, wandering a bit […]


Hanging with Kate

Kate hunted me down, desirous to go out on the town. My initial plan was to check out the Rawhide, but we decided to have Ethiopian food on the Haight at a very nice place called Axum and wandered over to An Bodhran after. An Bodhran is a little Irish bar with very pretty patrons […]
