ABC Training for the Dyke March

So Monday night I went to the ABC training for the Dyke March.

It's at the LGBTQ Center at 1800 Market, we, G and me, get there like 10 minutes early, to be greeted by the tall white bald guy in a blue jumpsuit and Timberlands. The training is full. Muffled laughter shuffles through the wall. We have to come back at 8:20.

We wander down the street, find some food (yummy burritos from the Azteca on Castro) - after rejecting three - THREE - overpriced fancy burger places. in the cold. Saw an old student affairs officer from UCB.

Yes, so A, G and I are at this training. It's mostly to cover SF Pride's butt (why would you want to cover your butt for Pride?) around the alcohol license. Very serious stuff. How to tell if an ID is real. Card anyone who looks under 35. etc etc. Some jokes but everyone's tired. It's cold and it's late.

BUT!!!

My favorite part: a rubric to help you remember how to tell if someone is underage / when checking their ID:

FLAG

Feel
Look
Ask
Give Back

^_^

seems like a good rubric that you could offer, in say, basic sex ed, no?

LOL LOL

Welcome

This is a personal, but public, blog. Here, I plan on documenting the funny and silly moments in my my very serious life as a public advocate for better, community-based planning that meeds the needs of the residents of San Francisco, the ones most vulnerable to displacement, and also my life as a profe at UC Berkeley, and other stuff.

Thanks for reading ...
