Toe procedure recovery. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, sliced and toasted almonds, blueberries, diced mango; hot water. Archived photos from my iPhone 12 mini and uploaded them to Flickr. Lunch: I prepared for myself leftover falafel, feta, and lettuce in pita; limeade. Patrick left early to visit his mom before we met at The Valencia Room for a dance party called Glam which we learned about from Suzan. The entrance was confusingly not on the corner but at an unmarked, open door a few yards away. No one was at the door so we decided to walk around a bit before entering. We encounted Simon and Arthur, meeting Arthur for the first time. They continued to The Valencia Room. A minute or two later Patrick and I encountered Timmy D and Dan B and chatted briefly. Patrick and I returned to The Valencia Room. At Glam we met or encountered Nick, DJ Hawthorne, host Avery Daniels, Suzan, Tim, Jenny, Simon, Arthur. Patrick unexpectedly encountered his hair stylist Stefano. We danced and drank for several hours. Later we said our goodbyes. Patrick and I dined on tapas at Esperpento: we shared a glass of happy hour sangria, jamon iberico, butifara judia blanca, esparragos a la plancha, y gambas a la plancha. All food and drink were delicious. Service was a tad slow; only one server and one busser for a large, mostly full dining room. We had time to kill before our Muni bus arrived, so we shared a medium cup of gelato from Hila with two flavors: pistachio and chocolate hazelnut. To bed almost immediately.
