i had the best time last night

first of all, you know that i hate parties, shindigs, get-togethers, socials, and all those sorts. i really just don't like hanging out with a bunch of people. i prefer more quiet settings with just me alone, or maybe one or two other people.

that said, i'm trying to be more out there. my coworker Larry and i have been talking for the last year about doing more within the glbt latino community because we want to practice our spanish and he has a lot of connections in the community as a gay latino. anyway, we finally got together last night and went to a very fun party celebrating the 10-year anniversary of a group's program that he's been involved in for a number of years. the group is called Aguilas. there were a hundred or so people in this fancy middle eastern restaurant/bar in the mission called Medjool. the food and atmosphere was wonderful and definitely a fun place to hang out. the people were so much fun too. and i even won a silent auction bid in which i bid only $25 for a $50 gift certificate to a clothing store. half-off!

anyway, the point once again is that i had fun, out, with hundreds of people, so strange. and i'm looking forward to going to more events with Larry in the future.
