If it seems that all I do is go out and have craziness, you have to remember I don't usually post - laid on the couch last night and watch movies all night, although I do that frequently. That being said what a crazy fun night I had last Friday. I recently made a new friend in Jenn - she is 42 and lives a couple towns over and she responded to an ad I placed looking for someone to go to a concert when I had a last minute cancel. She is nuts which is good but it is also bad as I am so easily lead into craziness. She is really sweet though.We got tickets to go see James at the House of Blues and just like when I saw them in Boston with Michelle, I was curious but not dying and then the show was just mind blowing amazing. So much fun! I can't believe they are not bigger then they are and I just danced with Jenn like a madman the whole time.
I do not want to make a forever post so here is my best attempt at a summary laundry list of characters we ran into that night.
Jay: 32, very tall and super nice sideburns. Jenn spots him at the concert and asks me, "Gay or straight?". To which I promptly replied, "Gay". She then goes up to him and says, "Are you gay or straight". He says "Straight" although is definitely caught off guard by the question. Jenn follows up with, "Oh cause we were trying to decide and my friend thinks gay". I spit my drink out. Told you she is crazy. He was fun and funny and even said to her later, "What can I do to prove I am straight?" but then he disappeared. I am sticking with gay.
John: 48, married and father of 3. He was blown away at how great James was. Seems he is way into music, lives in near by Encinitas, could tell how much I was enjoying the show and is totally looking for a concert going partner. Met his wife later as she was in the lounge watching the show from there. Totally seems like he would be cool to hang with and to widen my circle. Next day he sent me a great pic of the show and a text that said "At cub scouts with son but look forward to going to check out more great shows with you". I replied, "Me too - definitely" although was thinking, "Cub scouts?".
Mike: 33, latino, from Houston, ex-marine and total hottie. Jenn and I were eating Mexican after the show and people watching in the Gaslamp District. Mike was at the bar all alone. We - actually I - sent him a shot of tequila. He drank it right down then came over to us. He said he was trying to figure out our deal all night because both Jenn and I were checking him out. LOL sooo funny. We joined him at the bar and laughed a lot. It ended with both Jenn and I getting to feel what he described as the "smile maker" - I could not make that shit up but it did make us smile. She got his number - I got us outta there.
Paul - random hot gay guy from Chicago who chatted me up while outside of the Mexican restaurant. He was brand new to town on business and trying to figure the city out. I gave him the low down - headed him in the right direction but before I did so we danced out on the street to "Baila Mi Corazon" by Belanova. He wanted me to go with him but I said nah. He was nice but Jose is nicer and although El Cajon is a bit of a ways away - it is closer than Chicago.
Darren - 34 year old depressed, handsome guy that looked a lot like Montgomery Clift only with blond hair and blue eyes. He came to Gaslamp to have fun but some girls were mean to him. Jenn's question of the night, "Are you gay of straight?" depressed him more. We cheered him right up after that though. We had him laughing and being silly and feeling better in no time. He told us that we were better than his therapist. Jenn was really digging his scene and he lives in San Marcos which is close to her. They are gonna go to Vegas for a long weekend. I am going to pass.
