A Super Hero Day
So Sunday was the day! John and I planned on getting dressed in our spandex suits. Me in my Aquaman, and he in his black striped suit. I was up early, showered, and out the door to meet him by 9. We had about 6 of us who were heading to see Spiderman 3 on the IMAX and then over to the Castro Patrol fundraiser at truck which had a superhero theme. Couldnt beat those two things back to back.
First breakfast with John, Scott, Kenji, and myself. We grabbed a bite at Orphan Andys and headed to the theater. kenji went home and was planning on meeting us at the party later.
At the theater, it was spunky, Jason, Ian, John, Scotty, and myself. I thought the movie was great with a few exceptions. I agreed with some of the reviews about the earlier fight scenes being too close up and too distracting to the point I couldnt really see what was happening. Despite that, I enjoyed the story line and enjoyed the villans more than they gave credit for.
After the movie, we headed over to Truck. Truck just opened about a month ago and they were hosting a fund raiser for Castro on Patrol. The theme was superheros abd because John and I both volunteer, we thought it would be fun to show up and support the group. Although the bar was smaller than I expected, it still felt pretty easy to get a drink, get outside to smoke, and mingle with people I enjoy. Although I dont really think its a leather bar, I did manage to see a lot of people from the leather community there to support it. There were also lots of great superhero costumes from 2 Green Lanterns, a couple of Batmans, Superman, Flash the bartender, and I didnt get this one till kenji told me, One guy was The First Slayer (from Buffy).
Ian, Jason, and I left around 7:30. I didnt want to be in that area after dark and riding BART with an Aquaman outfit on. I got a lot of attention, a lot of looks, a lot of people wanting their picture with me. I felt like a celebrity and desperately craved my normal life at the end of the day. I stopped at Edge for a quickie and the Daddys, and finally home.
This morning I start my new job. What a great way to begin a new week.
Oh and thank you John for my first 3 comics of Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8 (in comic form). WOOF!
