All the Rage!!!

Last Friday, I finally popped my gay clubbing cherry! Thanks to Bootylicious and Ass Fister (protecting the names of the not so innocent) for the invite and open arms! I had sooo much fun!

We hit up WeHo and we all met at the Pacific Design Center for parking where I met two of Ass Fister's friends and Bootylicous' old apartment mate. Two of us we're about to have our cherries popped! Not to mention Bootylicious mentioned that I looked "pretty" rather than handsome; her saying that as it was appropriate for the area...Haha! :D

We went to Rage first to get our bracelets for $7 a head (if we got there before 9:30PM it would have been free! Darn it!), then we went to the (in)famous Abbey. And unbeknownst to me previously, I've already been to the area once before for someone's birthday dinner at an adjacent restaurant as well as having gone to the Troubador about a month or two ago with BFoL and BFoL's ex-bf for Bic Runga. Anyways, The Abbey was surreal! Like I said to Ass Fister, it was like a toned down version of an episode of QAF. It was totally WeHo'ed out! I mean it was insanely upscale, classy and definitely snooty! Not my cup of tea in that sense, but the talent was far and wide! Bootylicious' old roomie had a preferred bartender, Chad. He is DEFINITELY a hottie, albeit straight! Nice to look at though! Maybe he'd be gay for pay! LOL Anyways, we hung around at The Abbey had mojitos (had a mango mojito myself and tasted the lemonade vodka, pineapple mojito and I forget what else).

We then proceeded back down the street to drop by a porn shop that had toys strewn all over the place, particularly dildos right when you walk in, a wall of porn (they had Straight College Men DVDs on the wall), and what ended up being an attraction for two of the girls who we were with was the butt plugs. Ass Fister explained the nuances of the devices as Bootylicious and roomie tired of the store.

Next stop was the Cantina, where we accidentally crashed a private party on the upstairs floor, and then settled in a corner next to the ATM where two guys let us kinda take over their table (whoops!). Billy our server was kinda cute, but the question of the moment was if he was gay or straight. Consensus came to be that he was definitely gay as Booty's roomie stated, "He's wearing eye liner!!!" Not to mention Billy was a bit flamboyant! Hah! We ordered cheddar fries and nachos, along with 4 margaritas (2 each of Key Lime and Peach); go 2 for 1 on the drinks! We chowed down and as we were leaving I decided to give Billy a nice tap and brush on his back as we left! I was definitely buzzing at this point! Will definitely need to revisit the Cantina!

And back to Rage we went and by this time it was packed! Full of asian guys as it was Asian night (aka GAMeBoi). We got in there and proceeded to dance out on the floor! They had a great selection of music which was great, thankfully it wasn't overdone techno like in QAF. Most of the night was dancing and I had my share of drinks. I had a refresher of an Amaretto Sour, when I spotted a fraternity brother and then lost him. As Ass Fister and I headed back upstairs, I found my fraternity brother and he was surprised to see me! We exchanged hugs and he proceeded back into the hip hop room looking for a guy he met at work. More dancing and we stayed til closing. Ass Fister met a guy (and later I found out the guy he met is in an open relationship and is from SF), and they got pretty "friendly," if you get what I mean.

I then also ran into someone else from an organization I was in during college. I thought I saw him while inside, then as he was crossing the street to leave I confirmed and we exchanged hugs as well. It was great seeing familiar faces in what I thought would have been a scary "coming out" moment.

All in all, the evening was the most fun I had in a while and where I also felt completely normal for once. It was awesome! Thanks to Booty and Ass Fister! And another thanks to Booty for my "coming out" drink! Can't wait to go out with all of them! Next time Fag Hag better go! :p And next time hopefully I find some action as well! :X

I also attended a wedding this past weekend, but I'll save that for the next post...
