Cedric, Queen's Head

[thepnutgallery]

Updated my journal, checked email, researched vegan places to eat in the city. Michael, the femmy Canadian from yesterday, was supposed to come over to fuck again and walk around town with me. I shot him a message at the last minute canceling sex. We still walked all over town. He was hungry, so we stopped at a falafel place, then went for coffee at a rooftop coffeebar. He had to take his bike in, but wanted to meet at Spijkerbar later. I walked around a bit, got lost a bit, bought a soccer jersey that might not fit me, and stopped by Church. I was just looking at the calendar for the week, but then I heard keys jangling inside. Knocked on the door and lo and behold, they still had my hat!

Wandered over to Spijkerbar, where Michael was already playing pool. I tried on the shirt - it fit! Saw a couple of cute cuys, but only talked to one of them. His name is Cedric, and he moved to Ams from southern France. Loves Berlin. He was hitting on me by the end of the night. I would have fucked him, but my stomach was gurgling, and Michael was sitting there. Kind of rude to turn one guy down, then pick another one up.

Back at the B&B, I had just walked in the door when Ralph and John, the other tenants, invited me out to a local gay bar with them. We had a couple drinks, talked about life and relationships. I guess John cheated at some point early in the relationship and they broke up for 3 years. It's been 20 years and Ralph still looks accusatory and hurt. I can understand that. We were randomly joined by Danny, another B&B owner, and his friend Berta from Germany. She had randomly shown up at his table at another bar, much the way Justin Williams made a surprise visit to San Diego that one time. Godwin, one of the owners of our B&B, also randomly showed up. Cute guy - looks a bit like Stanley Tucci.

People were drunk and hungry, and I didn't even realize it was 2am. One of the reasons I went to Amsterdam was to check out Club Fuxxx (formerly The Cockring, a place Ken had raved about on his Europe trip in '07), and there was no cover to get in tonight. Getting cleaned up at home took forever, but I finally got there around 3. The place was mostly empty, and the patrons that were there were bleary eyed and swaying. One guy had a rat, and he wanted me to buy him a beer for him having showed it to me. Went home without hooking up with anyone.
