Its hot there.
But very neat. I had rented a car, requested something small, like a Dodge Neon. After queueing for a good hour to get my car I learned that all the subcompacts were out, and that they would be providing me with a comp'd upgrade. Woo hoo! A big gas guzzler. I went out to view the car and saw a row of Chrysler 300's and Dodge Chargers. And waiting for me in all its rental car glory would be a rental car white with rental car grey interior Dodge Charger. I was all excited that i'd be able to merge onto the highway with the A/C running. Good thing too because last week it was hot in CA. (not unlike the rest of the country this week). I met up with my two friends that moved there and proceeded to get drunk. As drunk as possible.
First night we went to a very nice steak house, had a few margaritas and a few martini's (read: three appletini's).
Second Day: I attempted to see the Hollywood sign. I couldn't find it. Got lost and ended up in beverly hills. I had lunch on rodeo drive. (If something says "open faced" it comes with one piece of bread. I was not aware of this. Note to self: Do not order "open faced" sandwhiches) Upon leaving i saw and nearly ran over Stephen King. Look for me in an upcoming book as the lead character is nearly killed by a Dodge after shopping in a trendy area.
Later that night we decided to go to West Hollywood. Stayed at the "Hotel Standard". It was a total swinger's hotel. I felt like Austin Powers should be showing up any second. On the plus side, the DJ at the hotel was cute. We went to have sushi at a restaurant and tried to find a club (I can't remember which). I asked at a gas station, nada, never heard of it or the street. We went to a video rental store, they never heard of it either (which was odd because the guy at the counter was a complete queen, she proceeded to say "I've never heard of that place is it new?" to which i replied "Hell if i know, i'm from wisconsin"). A very bad looking transvestite told us how to get there. We promptly got lost.
We ended up following two guys who were holding hands figuring they'd lead us to the gays. They sure did.
Next mission: Find an ATM. Found one.
We proceeded to look for a neat club. Lisa and I decided to go to a place called Mickey's. Three stages and two dancers in a thong.
Aaron went to order drinks and Lisa was chatting with me. She very suddenly turned to me and goes "Is that big guy in the beret the guy from 'King of Queens'?" my responce was simple. "Why yes it is, and the guy behind him is Adam Sandler, and the one next to him is some guy from Saturday Night Live."
Yes, we saw, Kevin James, Adam Sandler, and some guy from Saturday night live at a gay dance club a mere 1.5 metres from a guy prancing around in a g-string.
So we left to go to another bar. went in and Aaron and Lisa both needed to go to the bathroom. Aaron went and came back. Lisa took longer. While she was in the bathroom a lesbian proceeded to grope her, pull her boob out of her dress and ask "When do you think a stall will open up that we can go into?" She came down from upstairs and we promptly left. I also had to explain what a "gaysain" was to them.
Back to the first bar.
We ordered more drinks, and I dared lisa to go shove a dollar down the dancer guy's undies. I explained to him that I thought he was cute (he was hot, smoking hot) and that Lisa was nervous. I gave lisa a few bucks to play with, and she wrapped the dollars around this guy's penis. Did i mention in addition to being HOT he was HUNG. Sadly straight
So Lisa and I went to the dance floor to bust a move and left aaron by himself. About five minutes later he came by with a big smile on his face. Proceeded to say that he got hit on. Yes, he's straight, for now it seems.
We were getting ready to leave and Aaron needed to go to the bathroom, he was afraid to go alone. With good reason. So I went with him. This guy who had been cruising me the whole night followed us in there. The entire row of stalls were open, and aaron and I had one between us and about 15 others to choose from. Nasty guy was right next to me. I finished up, and he proceeded to spread out against a stall wall and ask whats up? by this time aaron finished up and i grabbed him around the waste and whispered in his ear "act naturally" and put my arm around his waste. We exited and i released him to his fiancee. That was the night, except for a few dozen drunk calls. If I called you I'm sorry bout that.
So yeah, its hot. The A/C in my car couldn't keep up. The evil perrils of a black on black car. Yesterday a cold front moved thru, prompting storms, and a subsequent cool down. Temps yesterday 104. Today 84. The a/c is off and i'm happy....until tomorrow when the heat returns.
That is all,
