Slept in. Brunch at home with Patrick: Blue Apron pan-seared chicken with roasted honeynut squash and apple, carrot juice for Patrick, carrot juice mixed with san pell for me. Recharge Medical work: November news build, forms. Snack: cheese and crackers, water. Achieved inbox zero at home. Read and edited chapter 13 of 41 of Patrick's forthcoming novel. Shower. Rode UberX to Shotwell House. Appetizers at the house before dinner at Southpaw with Danny, Drew, Romy, Phil, Quyen, Dave, Richard, Wayne, Peter, and Paul: we had drinks and shared several platters. Paul left early for the Castro. The rest of us returned to the house for dessert. After dessert, Danny, Phil, and Dave remained home while the rest of us walked to the Castro, stopping at Twin Peaks for drinks for nearly an hour watching costumed partygoers parade past the large windows. I met Micah and Jerry. Later the Shotwell House gang returned home, then I met or encountered Conrad, Sean, Jeffrey, Jake, Chris, and Jeffrey's boo whose name I asked twice before immediately forgetting while I had Simplenote open. Later I encountered outside of Badlands Michael I (whom I first met), Ray, Scott, Andy, Alan, Mitchell, Emery. I met RP, Mitchell, Junman, MarLo, Jericho, and Yuya. We tried visiting Midnight Sun, but just past 1:30 am they had already called last call and were not permitting anyone new to enter. We then got the idea to make a stop at the liquor store and to take the party to Scandy's. The liquor store was closed, so we made do with what Scandy had in their bar (which was hardly lean anyway). Chatted until late. Alan gave me, Ray, Michael, and Mitchell a ride home—so nice. A filling evening.
