This weekend Seanchai and I drove to San Francisco this weekend and we had a great time. We met some old friends from Hawaii that had moved to the mainland a couple of years back. We were able to go to some of our favorite restaurants and we even made it to Divas on Saturday night.

Now that I am living in LA I am looking forward to the road trips I can take. This weekend was a warm up trip to the potential longer trips we will take now that I am here. We drove up north. We made an overnight stop in Monterey. We stayed at the Holiday Inn in Cannery Row. It is a nice hotel and if you walk in on a slow night you can get it for 20% less than the web
rate. It is a well located hotel with big rooms for the price, however it has paper thin walls so be prepared to hear most that goes on in the room next to you.

We went out for an evening and we were both in the mood for sea food and then a cigar. We found a few seafood restaurants on the web and it seemed like most bars had an outdoor smoking area. There is a great Cigar shop on Alvarado close to the Mucky Duck Bar.

The restaurant we originally wanted to go to was a brew pub it was closing as we got there at 7:45pm due to a computer failure. I guess the bar couldn’t figure out to take cash. So we went to another place recommended by trip adviser “The Fisherman’s Grotto”. It was on the pier and it had a great wine special. All wines were 50% off that was great. The menu looked like good American seafood fare set in a family restaurant on the Pier. The staff was good and helpful. I get great Seafood in Hawaii so maybe I am spoiled, however I never expect to go to a seafood restaurant next to pier and get frozen seafood. I had Abalone and it was frozen or maybe artificial, and breaded to cover the flavor. Maybe it was a seasonal thing but it was disappointing.

After dinner we walked back to the town and found a British pub with an outside area. We sat out back and had a cigar. We tend to attract caricatures and this night was no exception. In walks a 72 year old guy with his daughter. They were in Monterey for a nut farmers conference. They were great fun and we had a blast telling stories. Kelii our waiter from Maui was fun as well.

The bar made the trip fun

I couldn’t believe how bad Halloween in Waikiki was.  I assumed that the triple threat of Saturday,full moon, and bad economy we might some really creative costumes here.  I walked the length of Waikiki from Kapiolani park to Lewers St. and I didn’t see anything worth shooting.  It looked like everyone bought costumes and didn’t bother to embellish them at all.

I used to be able to hang out around the gay clubs and get some wild photo of TS’ and cross dressers.  Not this year.  I only shot about 5 photos all night and I shot all of them because people wouldn’t stop pestering me until I took the photo.

The one photo I will post here has no transsexuals but it has a hot chick.

I finally was able to photograph the amazing Transsexual Super Star Olivia Love and she is fantastic. She is professional and so nice. I was actually a bit nervous before the shoot because she was one of the first TS’ I saw on television. I remember seeing her on the “Real Sex” series on HBO years ago.

I am sure all of you know that Olivia is deaf. You know how they say when you loose one of your senses others are heightened? Her sense of sensuality is off the charts. She is a lovely lady and a great model. I hope I can work with her again.
