Ten Fingers, 6 Strings: Personal Stuff

Personal Stuff

While I read the news and listen to different friends, family, acquaintences, creditors and 1-900 operators around the country talk about the sweltering heat they've experienced in their various this summer, I have come to realize that San Francisco is truly on another planet. I live in one of the sunniest neighborhoods in the city and I have yet to see the sun creep out for longer than 24 hours since May.

Don't get me wrong, I still found time to join in the Indonesian Independence festivities by modeling a Sarong with no shirt in the "Color Me Ethnic" fashion show in Union Square Saturday. In this weather, being shirtless on stage for 45 minutes requires some serious fortitude, along with an internal battery that can last long enough to keep my "high beams" on.

Yes, you read that right: TF6S was "coloring people ethnic" yesterday--with hard nipples.

I digress. I've been spending less and less weekends in the city because of then inclimate weather and am going back to Mexico at the end of the month. So, those of you who can't image someone sitting in California freezing their ass off in August need to know that I'm having a hard time relating to the hot temperatures that I continue to hear about everyday. Especially those of you in Seattle...

I'm kinda cold that way.

Anyway, after the fashion show, we threw a nasty little party that didn't show any signs of slowing down until 6 am. If anyone is interested, there will be another one next month at an undisclosed location. It may be an even bigger rager as all the Burning Man patrons will be looking for another place to crash after a week in the desert. Contrary to most of my compatriots on the right-of-center side, these people are a lot of fun to hang out with when they let down their political hair; I'd party with them any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Maybe its all the glow sticks and free booze?

Back to recovering. Hope your weekend treated you well.

Mmmm. Parties. Sounds like you had a good weekend. Indonesian sarongs and in a fashion show - now that would have been a sight to see...

You'll be pleased to hear that while the last two weeks have been sweltering (for us) 80-90 degree days, today we're back in the 60's where we belong, and if I'm not very much mistaken, it's going to rain.

Besides, why have sympathy for someone who's close enough to Mexico to just, you know, GO THERE whenever the heck he wants. :-)

I knew I would elicit some serious tears with that post. I mean come on! Look at this horrible, um, fog!

Yeah. "Fog" is that wispy cloud blanket that looks so lovely in the really early mornings and then just makes it darn hard to drive.

Or maybe it's the state of mind you find yourself in after free booze and parties until six in the morning... :-)

Hmmm, that is true. What do you call that fog that I reside in that occurs on "normal days?"

Maybe San Francisco really isn't foggy at all. Maybe it's just me.
