Meeting new people

I had the most interesting night. Let me start from the beginning.

I was bored so I decided to Google things to do in L.A. I came across this place called Fubar that has karaoke on Tuesday nights. Having no other interesting prospects lined up I decided to check it out. So I went there and met a bunch of cool new people. There was one girl who moved here from Ireland and is a singer. She did "Creep" by Radiohead. She did an AMAZING job!! In fact, most of the people there were just insanely good singers.

I went outside to smoke and noticed a guy talking on his cell phone. Talking isn't the right term here.. he was bitching someone out on his cell phone. He hung up on whoever it was he was talking to and started bitching to me (with his gorgeous Australian-spent-a-lot-of-time-in-London accent) about his brother being disrespectful to their mother, or something like that. We got to talking and it turns out that it was his birthday and he just moved back to L.A. (he lived in L.A. for two years before moving back home six months ago) two days before. We bonded over the fact that we both like boys and our birthdays were just a day apart and we had nobody really with whom to celebrate.

On top of not being able to celebrate his birthday, he lost his passport and luggage at the airport and the hostel where he was staying had already closed its doors for the night. AND he didn't have access to cash because his debit/credit card didn't work here in the U.S. for whatever reason.

The night went on and we tried to find a cute, available gay boy for him so he could hook up and get free drinks as well as a place to stay that night. No luck. Around 1:30 we decided that Fubar was not looking promising so we hopped in my car, threw the top down and headed to Beige at Falcon's Lair. However, by the time we got there the place wasn't letting anybody in because they close at 2.

We started to walk back to my car when we happened upon a small group of beautiful gay men leaving Beige. We inquired about after-hours places nearby. The conversation took off from there. Ron got Cameron's card and I got Mark's number. Ron and I got back into my car and headed to Avalon, the place Mark suggested. Well, we couldn't find the place. My GPS couldn't even find it!

I asked Aussie where I could drop him off. He said that since I live downtown to just drop him off near downtown and he would figure out something. He said he would go to the Embassy in the morning to straighten out his passport situation. I almost offered to let him stay at my place, but I had just met him so I decided not to. I felt so bad for him!

He mentioned earlier that his parents owned some hotels in L.A., so I suggested he try to stay at one of them. He said "I'm bloody 24, I need to start taking care of myself. I'll call you tomorrow love!" With that he was off into the dark night. I hope I hear from him so that I know he didn't get mugged or murdered!
