Hell on Heels

Hell-o Everyone,
Right now I'm living off of the "high" of spending a wonderful night with friends in the City.
I've been waiting for this opportunity for quite some time, it finally arrived, and it couldn't have been more worth the wait.
With lots of planning, and the help of another new girlfriend, AllieSF, the night was set.
The plan was to park and meet at a wine bar to get to know everyone. Allie was kind enough to set up dinner reservations for us. Thanks so much Allie, your incredible!
The evening started with me picking up my new girlfriend Ashley, and the two of us making the near 3 hour trip. (Bay Area traffic at that hour on a Friday, Yuck!) After finding a parking garage, it was time!
A quick check off the makeup, a few deep breaths, and off we go!
Walking through the parking garage was fine, cant see much from in there, but that very first step onto the sidewalk..... A big gust of cool air hit us head on, what an awakening!
Then I looked up and....... PEOPLE EVERYWHERE! AHHHHHHH!
I should also mention, this area we were in isn't the typical LGBT neighborhood, yes it's San Francisco, but it was a mainstream, typical everyday business area.
Having Ashley lead the way, every step the nerves calmed, and I started enjoying myself.
We had to walk about three blocks to get to our meeting spot. I'm watching people as we walk, some are making direct eye contact with smiles, others are just going about there business and not paying us any mind at all. No pointing, and screaming OMG look at that trans person. NO ONE CARED!!!
We walked into the wine bar, and found Allie sitting with another new Girlfriend of mine Rachael Sloane. Rachael is another super friendly, lovable person! (would you like another glass of wine my dear?)
We all made our introductions, Allie had been having a conversation with the bar owner, so Ashley and I took a seat at the table with them. I was seated next to the owner, She is a beautiful girl, with an incredibly sexy accent. I was able to chat a bit with her before she had work to do. The four of us continued chatting and enjoying some good wine, then it was time for our dinner reservations. As we are about to leave, the owner of the bar asks if we minded if she joined us for dinner.
Now we have a party!
We walked to the dinner spot, It was about a block and a half away. Again I'm watching peoples reactions as we pass them on the sidewalk, no stares, no unpleasantries, nothing!
We entered the restaurant and Allie let the hostess know we were there. We had a few minuets to wait as they prepped our table. A few other customers walked in behind us, a few words were exchanged with them as we waited, without any reaction. Amazing right!
So the table is ready, of course it is wayyyy at the back of the place. We had to walk in past every table in the place, and it was a full house. The five of us took a seat, and shortly later, another new girlfriend Suzanne F and her wife joined us. Thank you so much Suzanne, if you had not contacted me long ago about going out with you, I may not have ever done this. Your wife is a lovely girl, I'm so happy that she was able to be there as well. Now we have seven!
Dinner was served, but it seemed there was more talking than eating going on.
The wine bar owner had to leave us, but she sent a replacement player named Kevin, another extremely personable, and friendly faced guy who jumped right in and added another element to the conversations.
We finished dinner and settled the bill, as we all get up to leave, Suzanne's wife comments on how good I looked in my jeans. I thanked her, but that comment set my brain off. We all marched back past all the full tables as we leave, again nothing but looks with smiles. People are incredibly accepting!
As we are all regrouping at the hostess desk, Suzanne's wife starts again about my jeans,
she said to me, and everyone around could hear, "You look HOT!" , Holy crap! Talk about a confidence boost! I'm sorry Suzanne, I think I'm in love with your wife! HaHa! Your a lucky girl to have her!
So now we are off to another of Allie and Rachael's hangouts, Suzanne and her wife have to leave, and Kevin had said goodbye also.
Back down to the four of us.
We had about a three or four block walk to another Restaurant/Wine bar. The streets and sidewalks are still alive. We entered the wine bar and found a spot to sit. A bit of chatting, and the bartender, another cute young girl, came to chat a bit with us. I had brought some wine along for the evening, but had left it in the car. Luckily the parking garage was directly across the street. I went to retrieve it, and had the bar open it for us.
The bartender had a small taste, and enjoyed it. We sat and chatted a bit again, and the restaurant owner comes over to greet us.
Allie seems to know everyone, and she probably does.
She introduced him to Ashley and I, we had a bit of discussion about the wine, and he was perfectly accepting of us, very polite, and friendly. Then shortly later one of the Chefs comes out to greet us as well. He was a nice young guy, he also inspected the wine, had a taste, and guessed what region it was from. Just like everyone else we had met, he was so friendly, and treated us with all the respect that any person out having an enjoyable evening should be given. As we were preparing to leave the Chef came back out and said goodnight to us all.
Back out to the sidewalk for our short walk to the garage. We all said our goodbyes 'till next time we meet, and parted ways.
Ashley and I got a bit lost trying to find our way out of the City, but eventually were on our way home. We had lots of time together to chat on the way, but when things got
quite, I couldn't help but start reliving the night in my mind.
What a totally beautiful, wonderful, experience that I will never, EVER, forget!
Thanks so much to all my friends here that have offered words of encouragement and helped make this night possible.
Much Love,
Kristyn
Sorry there are no pics of the evening, I didn't want to torture myself with looking at them
and having to wait for another chance to get out. My memories of the night are vivid, and will carry me through to that next outing!
