Why not move to LA?
Because my pups and I unanimously dislike the idea of living in LA for these reasons:
- Air pollution
- Its hot
- A lot of people seem very fake
- You have to own a car
- There are more jobs in our respective industries in other cities
Things I will miss about San Francisco:
- Its been my home for 10-years, so I’ll miss having that local’s knowledge that comes with living somewhere for a decade.
- What the best farmer’s market is (Castro)
- How to get across town in 20min during rush hour (I’ll take it to my grave)
- Where to go on a good hike
- Oh, and you don’t need to own a car to get places
- The massive leather community and all that it offers
- Folsom Street Fair
- Dore Alley
- The Armory
- Wicked Grounds
- Mr S Leather
- Unique, gay-centric, dance parties
- Flagging in the Park
- Real Bad
- Play (tank and beef’s first circuit party)
- HERO (my all-time favourite tea dance, which is long since dead, sadly)
- Sanctuary
- Being able to do Hero and then close the night with Sanctuary. Ahh, I loved that.
- Food
- Super Duper Burger
- Espetus
- City View Dim Sum
- That Indian place by West Portal Station
- That Italian place at the entrance to North Beach
- Places
- North Baker Beach (nude)
- AIDS Memorial Grove
- That rooftop public parklet downtown where I regularly had public sex with my pups during my lunch break
- Kabuki bath house
I’m really hoping we discover some fun parties up in Seattle. Its something I’ll miss the most about SF, even if the party scene was dying.
