Breakfast at home: egg, vegan sausage patty, and cheddar on english muffin, 8 ounces of orange juice. Edited Patrick's forthcoming novel: chapter 6. Snack with Patrick: warm chocolate cookie each with whipped cream from a can for dipping. Nap. Dinner with Patrick at home: salad. Nap. Patrick and I rode Lyft to his mom's so that he could help her with a sleep study kit. I continued to The Oasis to meet Troy M. This was the official afterparty for Whatever Happened to Bianca del Rio starring Bianca del Rio and Peaches Christ which played tonight at Castro Theatre, which I did not attend. The night is called Mother, hosted tonight (I think) by Heklina and special guest Danny Pintauro, who was charming. Music by MC2 was mostly dance floor favorites of mostly the past decade. Songs ran on the short side (which I like), and mixing was forgivably imperfect. I asked one of the bartenders who was spinning, and when he said it it ran altogether in my head as Emseetwo so I asked him to spell it and he said M-C-2 and we both laughed. Visuals by Vis-a-Vis were fun: Little House on the Prarie, old horror films involving possessed children, some dance contest in the 1980s, old television from the 1970s. I met Troy's friends Travis, Ryan, and Casey. A fun drag show took place, with some of the performances impressively live instead of lipsynched. Danny Pintauro was the night's special guest who took the stage for a while and made us laugh and think. We danced until the bar closed. I got a bite to eat by myself at V Cafe: fried shrimp po-boy, which was good and the staff seemed friendly. I had forgotten my jacket in the club and ran back to get it just in time. Staff at The Oasis was friendly. Ordered a Lyft Line ride home but canceled when I saw the driver heading east across the Bay Bridge. WTF? Rode UberPool home. My first time with two other stops instead of just one. The two other stops were very close to my stop, so Lyft made about $45 with one trip. The interesting thing is that after picking up the second solo passenger, Lyft found another solo passenger and changed the route. It added maybe 8 minutes to my ride; not a big deal.
