...

a few things:

1. i didn't know Aesop Rock moved to San Francisco
2. i didn't know we'd run into Aesop Rock last night leaving Zeitgeist
3. i didn't know my boy Ben who works at Upper Playground (jealous) was friends with Aesop Rock
4. ironically Aesop Rock doesn't like crowds (Zeitgeist is probably not the best place to go on a Saturday guy)

and then me, Jon and Ben walk over to some new bar on Mission at 21st called Flavia (or something like that)...a group of girls approaches me as i'm sipping my whiskey sour, one of the girls holds out a deck of cards fanning them out so i can pick one...i pick a card, girl asks me to read card to group, i read card to group, card says "pick cute boy to dance with for duration of one song"...another girl walks up and introduces herself as Sylvia...i learn that Sylvia is a bride to be and is in the midst of her bachelorette party...Sylvia asks me to dance, i ask her if we can slow dance, she agrees, The Cure is on the juke...Sylvia and i begin to slow dance in the middle of a super crowded super trendy bar...Sylvia's friends are taking pictures (for the groom i presume) and laughing, i'm laughing, she's laughing, we're dancing...song ends, i wish Sylvia good luck, we hug, i continue drinking my whiskey sour...nothing like a group of drunk bridesmaids to give a guy a confidence booster...hooray for bridesmaids!

then chat with Jon's girl Kay and Kay's girl Heather...and then we have a dinner date tonight that i'm totally going to flake on...but then the flake is probably mutual as we made the plans at 3:30 am on a cell phone...so it goes...Heather IS cute though...John IS hungover though..

it feels really fucking good to be back home...to be back in this disgustingly filthy city of rampant homelessness and urine drenched sidewalks is euphoric to say the least...
