Add another

I too am in the Greater SF Bay Area.

I cannot join you all on the 7th but have fun.

I hope Huntress is not overwelmed.

 

[Huntress]

LOL!

Sufi, what's wrong with appendages? I happen to think they're one of the more interesting aspects of male physiology. And if you're going to be with the most beautiful redhead in the place, does that mean I'll finally have competition?

OTV, don't send pics to Sufi. He's not good with faces.

Orwell, I'm sure we'll all find each other. The place can't be that big! I'm pretty sure I'll recognize Ukin at the very least!

Eric, welcome to the fold... don't fear. I'm not easily frightened.

As for the rest of y'all... <shrug> what can I say? Next time...

Hello everyone......just me popping back to see if the event is still on, and I see that it is.

Oh Huntress..I will be wearing Levi's lol..I am not going to arrive nekkid..unless you are..but then again, it's a bit naughty in public

Where are we going again? lol

 

[Slick]

 

[Huntress]

Nekkid? Ukin! I was talking about your previous Av... you know, the one with your face in it? Oh, never mind.

Truthfully? You'll not catch me goin' nekkid to a bar in Union Square or anywhere else for that matter. I might be bold of speech and an exhibitionist behind closed doors, but not in public. The closest I ever got to that was at a bar in Santa Cruz which served beach goers. With the bikinis we were all wearing back then, we outn't to have bothered putting them on at all.

Until tomorrow!

Okay, where is the event tomorrow? I am confused between North Beach & The Richmond. Here is a pic of me so that I can be waved over…

[Fireweaver]

O'relly's it is then. I guess I'll just look for the crowd of guys surrounding a lone girl- but wait, that could be pretty common in north beach on a saturday night! I hope to see you guys tommorrow!

SFBAC meets

I'm going to dare to suggest this become a regular thing.
Already the rumour spreads like a lover's wings of another meeting the first week of Oct.

Lady, you were missed by us all. I lucked out with a last min overnight with the munchkin's freind.

For all who could not join us, next time we look forward to meeting you and getting to know you.

We may choose another venue next time. There is a possibility we may find private space for the next meet. Huntress may ask the powers that be at Good Vibrations retail store
http://www.goodvibes.com if a desirable extension of their community outreach might include our group. I think that would be wonderful. I will encourage her to take point for that as the only people I've seen down there are women and those not especially disposed toward men. oops, not pc!

The evening started for Huntress and I with dinner of leg of lamb with carrots and mashed potatos and shrimp & grilled salmon tossed in an excellent white sauce under a light and flaky pastry. Ukin arrived as dinner was served and drank a pint of bitter till we retired to the side walk for smokes and conversation and libations. Huntress recognized him imediately from pics he posted. He almost got into trouble with another redhead at the bar. His discretion served him well when he chose not to whisper something lewd in her ear as an introduction. He did say her ass wasn't quite as sweet as he remembered Huntress' av.

The side walk in North Beach was crowded and lively with denizens and tourists and business travelors. Many folks took up conversations with us and each in turn fielded some rather spicy inqiries or remarks that entertained and challenged my presumption that we were somehow different or special for our common interests in Lit.

In the end, we were truely the only ones there who were prepared to seriously explore ideas and feelings about a wide variety of sexual topics in such an open and frank way as we are accustomed to here online. There really is a reason, beyond the tittillation and fantasy, that we find community here, but not such that I can say categorically we are the cognocenti of sex.

OTV arrived earlier that expected at 11. Again, Huntress' eagle eye picked him out of the crowd. He didn't actually complain, mind you, but he did remark how the milieu at O'Reilly's would not allow him to strip to the buff so we might all recognize him by his buns. I got the distinct impression he was disapointed. So we talked of a change of venue. We talked of expectations for the gathering and what we all wanted from it. It bacame clear that a more even mix of genders was desirable, it being 3 to 1, even to Huntress who enjoyed a lot of attention.

We closed down the bar and went our seperate ways all agreeing we would meet again. I feel more strongly than ever that this community can satisfy a need we have to make friends and know people who share our values for sex as a bond for that friendship. Do we appreciate each other's sexuality and can we participate intimately in each other's lives? Definitely.

 

[Lady_Sam]

Hrm...maybe if i can convince my parents to take the munchinkin I can give myself an early bday present next month. It sounds like you all had a blast.

 

[Huntress]

In rare moments, such as last evening, I feel overwhelmed by the need I sense from others to be truly "seen". That awareness strikes at my core, grabs hold of a corresponding thread within and drives me to respond as fully as I am able. The sensation is at once pervasive and fleeting, intense and somewhat discomfiting. It causes me to rail against the boundaries of my own skin and seek a truer means of connecting with another while I strive to maintain some kind of hold on what I comprehend to be reality. It’s a dicey venture. Reaching out in this way exposes me, exposes you and carries with it the hope of meeting authentically and the accompanying fear of divulging too much and being misapprehended. The internal tug-of-war between the need to be seen as genuine and the terror of being incorrectly perceived makes most of us sit on our hands and watch the world go by rather than risk exposure. What a marvelous gift was given and received last night by each of us who braved the drive into SF and sat outside O’Reilly’s to share a beer and bit of ourselves.

As I seek to be seen, understood and appreciated in my entirety, I’ve had to come to grips with the way my behavior reflects our culture’s treatment of sexuality as some perverted and twisted aspect of humanity that must be endured instead of a “right” means of expressing our need to be known. It’s tragic that our very bodies, being limited by the boundaries of the flesh, western society’s restrictive mores, and inadequate knowledge of ourselves, inhibit the ability to truly see our own selves in the whole, much less another person or, in return, be seen by them. One cannot use ordinary sight, such as we habitually employ while driving down the street, or walking through a shopping mall, or at work, to accomplish this type of discernment. The visual acuity called for is much more akin to that which I (and perhaps everyone) dreams of having only in the most intimate and exclusive of relationships. Yet it is that exclusivity that limits us so severely. Extraordinary vision comes from an openness of spirit, heart, mind and body, and, most importantly, a recognition of the need to connect at all levels in oneself. Restricting our responsiveness solely to the verbal fails utterly to meet this need. I know this and I refuse to heed it’s inadequacy so I push the boundaries of propriety to make physical contact. Somewhere in the mélange of words and tangible sensation is the magic I seek; to know and be known. This is what I crave from others and wish to give when I can be truest to myself.

I confess: I’m not a philosopher, nor do I ever imagine that I will become one. I do feel passionately about my need to connect with others. That is what drew me to Lit in the first place and continues to keep me a loyal participant in this remarkable, peculiar and wonderfully outrageous community. (Bless you, Laurel & Manu!)

Sufi, OTV, Ukin: The next time we meet, I’ll buy the first round. If only to make up for bending your poor eyeballs around the above paragraphs on a Sunday morning.

Lovely evening, stimulating conversation, good brew and a very cute waitress. Thank you, fellows!

Sam, I encourage you to join us next time… How does the 2nd weekend in October strike you? And we’ll do it in the East Bay where parking doesn’t cost $15.00!!!

Orwell? Hope the wedding party was smashing! Did you make it to SF? I hadn’t a clue as to your appearance and no one but a bearded gent in an old green sweater and dusty ball cap looked even remotely as though he were expecting to meet someone. Was that you? If so, forgive me for not being bolder and speaking less cryptically.

I’m heading for cool sheets and a nap… Going to bed at 4 a.m. makes my internal clock behave oddly.

 

[Ukin]

Good Sunday afternoon..from a bleary eyed, tired old English fart!
I must say, it was a wonderful night last night..so nice to actually meet people with like minds..perverted and kinky!
I am certainly going to go for the next one too..I did enjoy it all...mind you, the vast array of females forms helped.
However, I got back to my hotel..the car was missing! I thought it had been stolen, but it had been towed away, despite my paying the hotel for parking rights. Needless to say, I was pissed off..and told th hotel, in no uncertain terms, terms that I cannot use on this Thread To get my car back. They did and I made it to the golf on time....and had a good days golfing, coming second in the competition..mind you, the liberal amounts of beer and Jacks & coke helped lol

All in all, a wonderful night and I would like to thank both Huntress and Sufi for making it so. It was nice to meet OTV too.

Lady Sam, and the rest of the Bay crowd...come along to the next one, it is nice, clean (so far hahahaha) and fun.

Let me tell you of my misadventure. I was actuall there, but could not find you guys.

I attended my other function in Benecia, and then worked my way over to the city as planned. I arrived in your vicinity about 7:30, but had real trouble finding parking. After driving around for about 30 miunutes, I finally decided to park in the Portsmouth Square garage in Chinatown. I then ran down to O' Reilly's, arriving about 8:15.

I then wandered through the place about 4 or 5 times between 8:15 and 8:45, but didn't recognize anyone. Of course, there were a lot of people there, and I really was not sure who I was looking for. Anyway, at one point a waitress actually asked me if she could help me, but she gave me a rather funny look when I told her I was looking for a group of people I had never met before.

Anyway, as it got later, the place also filled up more, somewhat to my frustration. I considered approaching people to inquire, but opted against it. Anyway, I finally gave up.

I gather that you guys were sitting on the restaurant side somewhere, as opposed to the bar side. If anyone noticed me, I was wearing tan Dockers, a similarly colored jacket, a black polo shirt.

Sorry I missed you guys, but I tried.

The second weekend is actually my birthday

I'll see what I can manage

 

[sufi]

Ooh, a birthday party!

Sam, are you pixie-like as your av might imp-ly or is your av an alter ego?

Damn, Orwell! We were, at the time frame you mentioned, in the restaurant. Admittedly we were quite late in arriving. I think we wrangled a spot for the black pick up truck in the O'Reilly's parking lot at 8:30 - 8:45. Huntress wore a black London Fog over a black tank with chocolate slacks (I knew you all would go there), I wore an ivory suede sport jacket and dark plaid sport shirt. We moved pretty directly from the bar to the 'food' side and took a table against the dividing wall.

Now, I'm pissed. I will post a photo of myself so this cannot happen again. I am so sorry to have missed you, O. I did tell the barmaid we were looking for people from Lit.
She said "What?"
I said, "Like shit but with an 'L'." She nodded.

Of course, there was reportedly another redhead at the bar, and our waitress was red haired, but the tip off was supposedly Huntress's copper tresses and bodacious assets.

Ukin, I know you know about her assets.
I thought you framed one image for Dominick that could go down in the anals of his story. Alas, poor Gladys, sitting so close to her date and stuck with a name, I for one, could not tell her, in truth, was beautiful, might have wished hers was as sweet. I couldn't say for sure, tho, because I was staring jealously at your hands carressing said assets and not at Gladys.

You horny Britt bugger, I trust that was as thrilling for you as it was for me.

As for literary intentions...
Verge, I was impressed when you actually showed up with a NOTEBOOK of all things! With creative scribblings in it yet, which you shared with me. Thank you for being there and suffering my tease. You are a menche as well as a gentleman and a scholar.

photo to come soon

ME? I was innocent..no I AM innocent of all charges laid before me. I behaved all night. Yes, she was beautiful wasn't she?
Whose assets was I manhandling? Was it me? Did I not have a " twin" with me?

 

[sufi]

Here I am

I hope this removes any chance of future ships passing in the night.

Now I can't hide....


Trust a Britt to behave impeccably, irreproachably.....too bad you have no memory of the event, it will be amoung the last pictures in my dying brain....

A Scott, now, drunken carousers, all.....no word from Ross...

Re: Here I am

Hey! I saw a geezer who looked like you last night. His eyes were forever on ample charms of the ladies..not to mention the legs on the girl with the VERY short dress...not that I noticed her of course

 

[sufi]

I only have eyes for U kin

Mia culpa!
With a dress that short who needs personality anyway.

I am a tortured soul, here in undergraduate world of the People's Republic of Berkeley, schools in session. There are more tasty morsels per square yard than any warm blooded old fart can ignore. Like they say, I'm married, not dead.

Oh damn, I think I was right behind you when you were at the bar ordering.

I guess you gathered I was the unregistered post above. I'm on a laptop I'm not real familiar with, and I'm getting ready to drop kick it.

Well, I'm not married..and certainly not dead!
Aye, I agree..with those legs..who cares about the personality
