Bogue’s 30th Birthday

I can’t think of too many more fun ideas for a 30th birthday party than an eighties ski gear pub crawl through San Francisco’s Marina District.  Nice one Tracy!  As I write this my wife’s asleep on the couch next to me trying to shake off a bad case of alcohol poisoning!

We started out with quite a bit of deciding between all the Goodwill-originated clothing everyone brought for the evening, Jarrid Bodessi was nice enough to loan me the dashing outfit to the right (which was a women’s one-piece skit suit with lycra bottoms, stirrups and shoulder pads to boot!).  First stop was the Balboa Cafe, where I don’t think the wait staff of this well-known San Franciscan drinking hole were too keen on having their bar inundated with 25 outrageously clad partygoers at 4:00pm on a Saturday afternoon.  Next was the City Tavern, Kelley’s Tavern, Bar None, Delaney’s and the Marina Lounge.  A really fun night!
