San Francisco day 3

Hollie Stevens, Cherry and I outside the gothbar

Fuck Waffles. I went to the store and bough cereals and milk. It came out kinda expensive almost 10 $, what the fuck is that, it is cheaper with beer. Maybe I should rely on alcohol in order to survive? What do you think of that. So far the drinks have been free for most of the time thanks to Hollie. I edited a little video clip from Baker Beach where Hollie tries Aquivit for the first time. Check it out. Hollie called me today and said that she would take me on a tour round the city. It was pretty cool cause people stopped us everywhere and asked stupid ass questions like:
- Sir, if I hang with you, can you find me a beautiful girl like that to?
- How tha hell did that negro end up with a gurl like dat? oowee work it gurl.
- Pete, look at her, who the fuck is she?
- work that ass girl.
etc...

It was kind of fun and 3 out of 4 it was negros complimenting (or call them what you like). We went to the bay and there was this sick museum where they had like old arcade games. Much of it was circus inspired. It was fun. After the tourism stuff we went to a place with a lot graffiti (think the place was called mission). It was a friend of Hollie who had made the pieces. We then went to a liquor store and bought some sky vodka and redbull and headed back to the hostel where we drank and saw some of my art films. We had a pretty good time. Other than that, Hollie invited me to this crazy Goth SM club. Lets pause for a second. I want to talk about that club. I paid 10 $ to get in, and the first I saw was a girl within a fence area getting whipped on her ass (she was wearing a thong). We then went downstairs and there was this huge dancefloor where they played mostly techno/trance/electronica (remember, this was like a emo goth club). Almost all the girls wore corsettes and thong / g-strings with sick make-up. It didn't matter if she was fat or slim, they all wore almost the same thing. I talked to a few of them and met this cool girl by the name Patricia West. She was a prostitute activist who was best friend with a pornstar. (kinda ironic.). So we agreed on doing a interview about her work and beliefs toward prostitution. I also met a chick by the name of Cherry. Cherry and her boyfriend, Dean, are both into porn and we went to an after party at their place which was located 300 metres from my hostel.
We had a few drinks and talked until 5 a.m.
I was just sitting there thinking to myself: "here I am sitting with 3 people who are all into porn. Is this for real?". My project is about the porn industry, how are these people when they are off camera? What is their background? and why do they chose to be in the porn industry? I have to find out more. That is the reason why I am staying here for 2 months. I fell asleep on the couch and Hollie woke me up and said she had to go. She is currently in L.A shooting a few internet scenes. I have the week end for myself so I will try to interview some of the other characters.

P.S: check out new photos in the photo section.
