So It's back to San Francisco, CA for OccasionalFag Brian G. to take in the Dore/Up Your Alley Leather Street Festival.  Back to cable cars climbing half way to the stars and all the sour dough bread one can eat.  Back to furry clonish men who are friendlier than their New York counterparts.  Back to the 440 Bar and the Bagdad Cafe, Starbelly restaurant and the Midnight Sun bar...

The young man who accompanied Brian G. to the Gliroy Garlic Festival and the Santa Cruz Boardwalk is his good friend Cemre.  He throws a pretty mean "cuddle" party here in NYC and I do mean cuddle party - kids these days are so decadent...  Our Gen f*cked, they cuddle.  He was out in the Bay Area for the summer and was more than happy to tag along as Brian G. indulged in edibles and coasters.   Long may the Cuddlers reign!

Enjoy the video of Brian G.'s vacation!

Big Happy LGBT Pride to everyone, and if you missed any of it, fear not because TheOccasionalFag didn't.

Flip camera in hand we take in it all.  Now, as always, so can you.

Enjoy!
