June 29, 2000. I flew down to Los Angeles for a first-time-ever night out in Los Angeles. (I know I was in Long Beach back in 1997 for CA Dreamin', but I never left the hotel! This was are night OUT.)
I've been planning this trip for several months, and the group of gals that might be able to join the party was growing. Still, I didn't know just who would be there.
As it turned out, our group was li'l old me, and 4 pre-op TS girls. (Yup, I'm the only Guy in a Dress...)
The conversation was fascinating; listening to their experiences and feelings about where they are and where they're goin.
Although the evening started late (about 7), and had to end early (around 12) so everyone could get home (it was a Thursday, after all), this was a fantastic experience. Here are the pictures!

The whole group of us at the Venture Inn, a mostly-gay restaurant/bar in Studio City.

I had not seen Sheri Gwen and Rhiannon (formerly Revy) since that first CA Dreamin' convention. They're both doing so well!

Kathleen begins living full-time in July.
Tina is Kathleen's friend, and is now one of mine, too. She's a recent transplant to California from WA.

Off to the famous drag club the Queen Mary, just a mile down Ventura Boulevard.

We weren't there very long, but did make good use of the dance floor.

My turn to dance around the brass pole!
I'd only seen pictures of this, when Kathleen, Revy and our Florida friend Danielle went to the QM during the `97 convention. (I'd already had to fly home.)

One last photo; two happy friends on a great evening out.
