San Francisco Pride 2025

We made it to San Francisco Pride yesterday. This year we were smarter. We took BART most of the way to shorten the trip and make it as comfortable as possible with as few modes of transportation as we could take. I love the rainbow “Dog Dad” baseball cap I bought there. I can imagine places where I will wear it to start a conversation.

Unfortunately not everyone got the memo that street fairs are smokefree, so we didn’t stay long in front of city hall. I wasn’t in the mood to be confrontational during such a festive event, but I did take note of how entitled these people are to take away the fresh air of other people. While the enemy is the industry, some people still lack common courtesy.

It was wonderful to run into our sweet friend Neeraj, who we can always count on being anywhere there is two-stepping! Since it had been a year since Shea and I last two-stepped ourselves, I knew I would be useless on the floor this time. We should practice more.

Happy 44th Shea

Shea made wonderful omelets to start the day. We ended up having Thai food for dinner in downtown Vallejo, and then made our way to San Francisco. We stopped by Greg and Steve’s pied-à-terre in the Castro, then walked over to the Pilsner for a drink, where we met a guy who was also celebrating his birthday. He even bought us a round and had some cake to share with us! Afterward, Shea and I went to Bearracuda, which I had not been to in many years. This is in addition to my other posting here where Greg, Steve, Shea, and I took pictures under the rainbow laser lights.
