Separate Ways

[thepnutgallery]

Friday - Woke up fairly early, picked up supplies for the weekend - big bottle of Jack, big bottle of vodka, some mixers, then met up with everyone at Mo's. I didn't order anything, but did have a few of Ken's fries. Chris, Leo, Ken and I headed over to # 1 on Fifth after that, which was supposed to be on our way to Rite-Aid to pick up hotel decorations, then stop by the hotel for a Pride reception they were having. Ken and I had to leave around 4 to get Todd settled in at our place, but said we'd call after that. We gave a ring around 5:30, but the boys were still at # 1 on Fifth. We met them there, and Nikki and Nancy also joined us. There was talk of going to Ono Sushi, but they didn't take reservations, so they decided on Amarin instead. I walked over to get some menus, and spotted one of the gents that wants to hook up with me on the way. Got back to the hotel at the exact same time as Ken and Nikki. Leo had gone to pick up Devin (straight DJ from ABQ), and Chris, Nancy and Todd were down at the reception. Since I'd had only the two protein shakes so far, I opted in when asked what to get. Ate some food, but opted not to drink anything. Chris and Brandon showed up, as did Dallas, and we tried to decide what to do with our evenings. Junkie XL and Morgan Page were playing at Montage, but it was still straight night, and a $20 cover. I kind of wanted to go to Universal, since I'd already paid my cover, and just didn't want to go alone. As it turns out, Chris and Dallas were in that same boat. Problem solved! We went our separate ways, and I got druuuunk....I remember walking over to Universal, but not a whole lot of being there. At some point later in the night, I decided I wanted bread from Ralph's, and wandered around there for a little while, but didn't get any. Chris sent a text, so I stumbled back over, and the security, surprisingly, let me in! Ran into Jonathan Cahoon, who I devoured for a moment before moving on to find Nelson and Chris et al. I guess it was around 2 at that point, so we went over to La Fuente, where Chris got potato rolled tacos with the cheese on the side (so sweet!), and then to Nelson's to enjoy it. Brandon called, needing a ride, so we walked over to Chris's car to pick them up. We apparently met Rick at the fire station, and said hi, but neither of us remembers this. We picked Brandon up, who informed us that other folk had taken E, and he wasn't comfortable with it. Got home just a little after Ken, snuggled up with him and Todd, and went to sleep.
