the theatre party

so Friday after work I met up with Zeina, Melissa and Catherine for a post-work drink. Very pleasant.
in order to protect the innocent and the guilty - the names have been changed...

so one of us let's just call her... M had a party in Oakland - so off we went for Oakland via BART.

as we walk in the door to the party and see the gleaming faces of the fellow guests, we determine - 1 drink or 30 minutes (whichever comes first) we will leave. of course, offering our thanks to the host.

We generally had a pleasant evening until... a gentleman who i thought was gay started talking with us. By now a friend of M had shown up and the 3 of us were happily chatting away and the formerly gay gentleman (FGG) was now talking with us. M and I were beginning to discuss leaving when the friend and the FGG offered to give us a ride - M and i are divided. oh i panic i have been offered a ride from FGG - uh... no. you are creepy - though that was what i was thinking, i have manners.
so while FGG took a moment away M and i plot that i have "left" something at her apt and i must be taken home by her friend.
probably not a moment to confess i've never been to M's apt.
so M gets up for a second - and the friend is grabbing her bag and creepy FGG comes over and says 'i think it is time to leave' and i at this moment i'm glad to have the excuse ...
he looks disheartened... but still creepy.
so we collected our handbags while FGG was in the kitchen and literally ran out the door - and then down 3 flights of stairs. probably no the best of ideas after wine and cheese...
but we heard FGG coming down the stairs behind us - at a more reasonable pace. I saw him wandering around outside the apt looking for us (or his creep mobile) while we drive off...
but other than that - it was a lovely evening...

sorry FGG... but you were just too creepy.
