trip to the bay area (8/29-9/9/02)

This trip to the bay area maybe was not as fun as my previous trips up there, but it definitely beats them all on an interesting level. My previous trip to the bay area involved us going to Eklectic, and seeing Brandon for the first time at a club, and Kristina hitting on him. This time around, they're together. I won't get into all the happenings, but we went clubbing every weekend, for about 4 days each week +/- a day or so. Most of the clubs we ventured to were gay clubs, since Brandon's friend was gay, and he was showing us around.

The first weekend I was up there, I checked my email, and that day, Howie Day was performing at the Soul and Music festival in Oakland at 1:30. So I had to rush over. Unfortunately, I missed the first half of the show, but I still got to see him live, and take pictures of him, and a couple with me and him both in em! woohoo.... I also got him to autograph the 4 track limited edition sample cd that Kristina got for me. The next day, we went back there to paint some Haku dolls. Brandon and I finished waaay before Kristina finished.

At one club, I was hit on 3 times by various guys, all of which were white. I thought white people didn't go for Asian guys. Guess I was wrong. The first time I was hit on was when I first entered the club and was looking for my friends. I was just walking, minding my own business, when this guy touches me, and purred like a cat. I did not turn around to see who was doing it. I just kept on walking. The second time was when I was sitting on the subwoofer and this guy just came up to me and said something along the lines of "whoever sits here, has to dance." The third and final time was when the guy who was throwing the event came up to me, introduced himself, and proceeded to dance adjacent to me. I started dancing with this girl I knew, and he was all like "dance with me!" Everyone said I was a "dick magnet" afterwards.

Most of my nights were spent either sleeping at Kristina's, Brandon's, or this other person's place.
