We had a great time at Dore Alley this year. Much better than standing in a booth all day being blasted by loud music and being looked at as if we were on display at the zoo!!!
We arrived there with Erich around 11.30am before it became too crowded and we were able to walk around without too much jostling. Lots of strange sights and some really good one's. We bumped into our friend Dick K who had entertained us in his beautiful apartment the day before together with Jim and Terry who we met (again) Saturday morning for cocktails in the Twin Peaks. Saturday morning, Dore Alley weekend around 11.00 is becoming a regular habit!!! We were very sorry to see one of our favorite restaurants, Blue, had closed it's doors. No more Mac & Cheese supreme. Shame!!!
The weather was beautiful. I had to take our leather jackets back to the hotel because it was so warm. I got sunburnt on my forehead and shoulders which is quite a feat in San Francisco. It started to get busy and I stuck it out until 3.30 when I decided enough is enough. Good weather +Dore Alley = lots of naked and half naked men wandering around. We found the best place to stand and watch is right at the junction of Dore and Folsom outside Powerhouse. Great location for people watching. We also bumped into our (sometime) guest from Kansas City, Dean D. Altogether, a great and enjoyable weekend. Back to Palm Springs tomorrow, setting off around 7.30am.
