March 2025 VGN Game Night
Vallejo Gay Network had a game night, which was a lot of fun. Thanks for hosting Seraphim and Eric! These pictures don’t capture all the crowds in every room and outside that eventually showed up, but it was a big success.
50 year Celebration of Jimmy and Steve
It was a special Vallejo Gay Network potluck last night with Jimmy Genn and Steve Davis celebrating 50 years together!
Carquinez Trail Hike
Had a nice hike with the Benicia LGBTQIA Network at Glen Cove Waterfront Park and into Benicia State Park along the Carquinez Trail today. I took Bonnie and Snoopy and many folks had no idea Bonnie was blind until we finished. She kept up so well with Snoopy as her seeing-eye dog.
Here are the pictures Christina took:
January 2025 Vallejo Gay Network Potluck
Shea still was under the weather, but I attended a great VGN potluck at Lou’s house again. The turnout was incredible despite the brisk weather, but we’re still very lucky to have this incredible climate with many hints of Spring in the air already (seriously). There are lots of trees in full bloom. No polar vortex here!

Vallejo Gay Network Holiday Party 2024
Thanks to the fabulous Mark Kliem for hosting! After being deputized as the official photographer of the VGN holiday party, here are the results! Seeing people from various Bay Area counties like San Francisco, Marin, Alameda, Contra Costa and other parts of Solano County like Vacaville and Fairfield was wonderful. Our Vallejo Gay Network community and its allies have been a wonderful focal point for me since making the wise decision to move here.
Friendsgiving in Benicia
Had a wonderful Friendsgiving with the LGBTQIA Network in Benicia today with amazing food and great company!
Vallejo Gay Network Halloween Party
Halloween costumes! Who was the genius who came up with this idea? Imagine a small tuft of hair at the top of my pointed yellow head. In hindsight, Shea should have had a rubber ducky. I couldn’t convince him to put on a red muppet nose (it would mess up his products I suspect), so I decided to forego an orange one.
Post-party stop at local gay bar:
Folsom Street Fair 2024
I had fun in general at Folsom Street Fair, but there was ZERO San Francisco Department of Health enforcement present and only a few pathetic signs like this one near the end of a street that was an offshoot from the main fair. Why aren’t the street fair licenses at least threatened to be revoked for the overall discomfort and health of attendees?
For those who cherish consent, how about for those who are forced to inhale cigars and other combustible devices in crowds, not to mention people sucking on vapes with huge plumes all day long? I did not consent to polluted air, so I had to spend my day attempting to avoid it in public from discourteous people. I hope the world gets some sense knocked into it someday. I actually love crowds, but not if I have to fight the ignorance.
