Erika's Annex Page 386 - Midweek Encounters

Christmas greetings from moi! and as a specila holiday gift, here is moi's first midweek excursion to Encounters bar in Pasadena. Moi doesn't normally go out midweek, preferring instead to send Tintin, and saving moi's self for the weekends, but moi said this time "Oh Heck, let moi see what it's like". So here moi is, getting all festive.

Let's get the TWG's out of the way first. Above you have Teresa (left) with Naomi (not TWG) and at right Sharon is preparing for a little touch up in the restroom.

Moi hoped that the midweek timing of the outing would not deter moi's friends from showing up and in that hope moi was pleasantly surprised. EVERYONE was there.

..and Lexi POSING near the dance floor

Moi found Stephanie and Nikki freshening up in the ladies room

But a major event of the evening as the return of Natalie, who had been MIA since Folsom in September

"This" moi says, pointing by way of emphasis, "is Natalie. Remember?"

The second major event of the evening was the farewell appearance by Leia, who was headed back to San Francisco the following day

"And this" moi adds, "is Leia"

Next thing is to put them together in various social settings

...who was chatting with Natalie

Let moi also introduce Ellen...

Needless to say, much mingling went on

Pretty soon, everyone was schmoozing

Leia and Carli

Natalie and Leia

Then the whole gang (including Kimmie, left)

And while moi is at it....

Nikki and Stephanie, Lexi, Nikki and Kimmie, and Nikki, Stephanie and Leia (whew!)

Confidences were exchanged

Technology was grappled with

and butts were flaunted casually in a relaxed setting

Bianca, at times affecting indifference to the camera's eye, made an appearance with her beau du jour

And then the dancing started

Well, wasn't that fun? And so unexpected too. As moi always says, expect the unexpected with moi. At least, moi THINKS moi said that. Now all that remains to set the seal on this pre-Christmas, midweek extravaganza is the appropriate shot to end the evening.

The appropriate shot. Now go and enjoy the holidays
