Good Time Was Had By All. The BFP So Cal group met on a Rooftop Restaurant overlooking the Pacific, in Laguna Beach. From LA County, Long Beach, Palm Springs, OC and San Diego we toasted the beautiful sunset and each other. Some of us stayed and enjoyed the Moon. ~~Moonlight on the Pacific, and toasted those that weren't there, and the Moon, etc. etc.

We arrived at GayvStandard Time, some on time, some not...due to traffic, lifestyles and hell, some of us are always late. It was great to meet Anya, lillith, LibraryGirl, StarryEyes, Justin and the awesome phantom kiddo (he was so still and quiet he disapeared right into the balcony bannister).

Talking about where and when to meet next. We could have talked about it on the way to Vegas.
Although exhausted from a hectic week, I am so glad I got to spend some quality Butch Femme Time together. On my way home I realized we should have left there and gone to dinner. I was starving.

I'm sorry we had to miss the outing...we couldn't make it there unexpectedly. Next time!

*Anya* · 10-02-2011, 11:57 AM

Yep, that's what happens to my hair with humidity and the ocean!

Wild thing much?!

For those who don't know, Tmbyfem regularly organised butch-femme bonfires in San Diego during the mid 2000s but this will be her first one since 2008 or 2009. Should be good fun.

In addition, I'm meeting up with a small number of B/F friends in San Diego the previous Thursday (6th Oct) afternoon / evening for some drinks and dinner. Anyone else who is in town that day is more than welcome to join us so just send me a message.

I'm working Thursday, but am free on the weekend.Several interested in coming down for the Bon Fire and evening in SD. Any contact info, list of what 's needed etc. ?

We kept watching for you, as it got crowded, and there was a wedding, and I parked right by the hotel side entrance., and I thought I was going to back uphill into the bride, zoom in reverse on a steep grade...., and then when we left , the police were ticketing a scuba driver in the front of the car, (on same steep Laguna hill to the ocean) and lilith and Library girl and I rode around looking for their cars, as parking in Laguna is sucky. I wish now we would have moved to a restaurant for dinner, but, then...we would have missed the lights lillith said she saw in the waves..(mermaids with flashlights maybe?)

Hi Tommi

Below is the invite that Tmbyfem issued via facebook (if anyone wants the invite, please send me your email address). It will be similar to Tmbyfem's previous bonfires that she held up to 2008 or 2009 so relaxing, chilled-out and fairly low key but a good way for B/F/Trans folk to meet and bond.

Expecting a pretty good attendance and I'll see a few folk that I haven't seen for a few years. Tmbyfem is a member on this site but rarely logs on so I'm happy to ask any specific questions in terms of what to bring etc (unfortunately, the logistics of these things usually get the better of me !!!).

South Shores Park, San Diego

My dear Belfast boi Ciaran is coming to town and it's the weekend before decom so let's show this lad living in London what California life is all about!!

Come spend an afternoon on Mission Bay, watch the sun set and then, as dusk falls gather 'round the bonfire. Feel free to bring fire and/or glow toys for after dark fun! There's plenty of parking and a paved bicycle path.

All persons doing fireplay will assume the responsibility for their own and others safety while doing so. Be sure to have spotters.

Please bring a dish to share, beach chairs, beach toys, games and plenty of smiles and hugs to go around. Extra wood and coolers are always good. Kids are welcome with adult supervision.

Please, per city regulations, no glass or alcohol. Park in the lot then walk a short way eastwards to the site. For further information and directions see...

http://www.sandiegocoastlife.com/att...th-shores.html

Hope to see you there!!

Ditto to all of that!!! (I was hungry too)

I had a total blast! I can personally endorse this event and encourage all the So Cal people to come to the next one. We'll meet up in a different locale (with better parking!) every month. And I was promised one in Palm Springs.

Which would be awesome. Next month perhaps Long Beach.....? Yes, definitely dinner. It was wonderful to sit and enjoy the group energy. Everyone was great. So let's keep this going! I can't think of a better way to spend the weekend.

P.S. The single butches/guys really missed out, because the single femmes were in the majority, and we were lovely (if I may say so myself).

Maybe we can go to Ripples? They have ladies night, and have food there and we can dance!

Can't wait for the next one :-)

It would be great to see you and Tmbyfem--Do you think Mel and Jes will be able to make it? I hope that E (John Shaft) and I can--I am starting a new job on Tuesday and won't no my schedule until then--I was hoping for some time off between my last job and this new one but I may have to jump right in.

I'll know more after my orientation on Tuesday.

Ah Ripples! That's where my first "real" GF & I had our coming out party-The Night 1978 turned into The New Year 1979. We figured out we were really lesbians that night. Great memories of Ripples. Didn't know it was still
There. Also Chazz Bono has-may still have-a restaurant in Long Beach. The Executive Suite is still around too but dinner first!

Glad you all made it home safely

Unfortunately, Mel & Jes will be unable to make it as Mel's mother is arriving in town

I met up with both of them in June for the first time in three years and we had such a fun day. Disappointing that they can't make it but I'm meeting Mel (maybe Jes also - don't know what her working arrangements are) this Thursday. Other SD folk very welcome to attend.

Hope to see you + E on Saturday !

won't go there myself! Had a gay boy pin me up against the wall as he was trying to come onto me! Don't want to go anywhere where I might have to punch someone!

Who's going to the bonfire Saturday? Not seeing much talk of it in the last couple of days. I'll be there!
