PH, balanced.

When I first moved here, I stayed very much in my comfort zone. True to my 37205 background, I joined the social circle best described by the now-defunct bar Alta Plaza. Very A-gay, socialite, moneyed, white, WASPy-- basically Pacific Heights.

Flash forward more than nine years. Tonight I am attending the finals of the South of Market Bare Chest Calendar competition at the Powerhouse.

I know four of the contestants.

And dated one of them.
