Monty and Frankie hosted since I was not able to this March due to the fire. They have an amazing house with a super-comfortable couch and it was Saint Patrick’s Day themed.
July 2024 Update: Shea is in the video and a few of the pictures! 🙂
Other people took pictures, and look who is rubbing elbows and beards in these pictures! I think these are literally the first pictures taken of Shea and me together:
Other pictures taken by others that day:
It was very difficult to imagine attending this, but I was implored to do so. The community was wonderful to me and it was a good chance to see a lot of friends only three days after the worst day of my life. My ex had flown back for a few days to help me out and to ensure that I was not left alone in the early days, so it was somewhat awkward to explain he had moved away nine days before the fire.
Party with Solano Rowing Club here in Glen Cove, Vallejo with a bunch of our plus ones yesterday. We had the debut of an amazing video (below) that incorporated a bunch of our pictures over the past year.
Our neighbors have two grand pianos and are both pianists. They serenaded us with live music at their traditional New Year’s Day Open House (the first one since Covid).
Here in Vallejo, there’s a fabulous restaurant called Provisions that we rented out for our holiday party. Many of our current Board members/development representatives were able to attend with their plus ones.
Most of us who attended are featured in these pictures, but after two attendees left I remembered to start taking pictures.
Another fabulous Thanksgiving event at Tom Bilbo and Chris’ house with the Vallejo Gay Network.
Halloween party where I went as a “Queen Fairy” (see tiara) and Shando went as a “Save Brittany” fan with the pet pig named Chicharrón. That’s some pig!
This was another great Halloween potluck with Vallejo Gay Network thanks to the Bregenzers.
Mark went as the corpse of Diane Feinstein. Too soon!
