My goodness it was so fun, the ladies got the joke very quickly, and the funniest thing of the night was when I was down in the Castro, and a BF/BF couple asked me “What are you supposed to be, a tooth?”
I responded with “I’m a feminine hygene product.”
and they followed that with, “I had no idea…”
The rest of the night was so much fun people just laughing, and then the walk home from Castro and Market up Divisadero to Jackson…the scavanger hunt was great too, though my team was last and got a whopping 24 out of a possible 100pts. The first place team had 68.
What a great night, there’s a reason it’s my favorite holiday…Oh! while I was down there I ran into a group of ballet kids, and Jan who I play basketball with on Sundays…small world!
