Richard William Weiland Papers

Very easy to get along with.

Not dull, and not too exciting.

Body still looked great. Good arms, great skin + lats, nice far, somewhat hairy chest, tan. Fun!

We made it last too, but without trying. Finally I came over his shoulder.

I like when I can still do that.

SAT OCT 17 '87

8:30 Get up. Misc. Watch Pee Wee go get stereo. w/Pat watch wrestling + read aerial picture book ~ SF

11:15 Go to gym.

12:00 Workout. Nice. Not too crowded. Nice, long workout, not as cruisy crazy. See some old faces, Gary Harrison. Take it easy, first by pool, then in steam room very briefly because a learing troll was in there, who I'd been stared during workout. Shower.

3:00 Dick + I walk to street fair and have lunch spaghetti. S+W blond, Bill and other guy from SF.

4:30 Return to gym, and wait for Pat in locker room. Saw Nick of Entertainment Tonight and Old Redondo Beach. These guys are so pro-LA. Good weather, but what to do? Saw some very nice looking guys. Sal, friend of Dick's, ultra cute. Go home, after calling Jorge

6:00 Relax, think + write. What to do. Dick wants to get coke from Jorge tonite, so gotta go. But not to go out to eat, I hope. I have strong reservations ~ doing coke. Pat goes to get groceries. Dick says he's going to get Jorge, which will take about 45 minutes, so I decide I should go to. Fun trip with the top down, and Dick says it's the way he goes to work. But it was very busy traffic and he says it's like that all the time. Especially bad at interchange from 10 to Harbor. Not as great ~ trip to work for views as mine.

was walking around by myself when they started to play good music, the Big LA favorite of mine. So I found Pat + while dancing I saw a cute guy looking at us, and afterwards we talked. He'd just moved here, didn't have anything going on, didn't respond to what I said I do, but he was quite affectionate, and I was impressed. Hard getting through attitudes + cliques. Living in Marina del Ray, also pretty far from gay hub. Tony Constantine was his name. [yellow highlight] I brought him a drink + myself a CKC. [underline] So: Joint in hash oil 4 hits of Coke 3 Scotch +Soda 2 Coffee, Raluah + cream [yellow highlight] It was funny because I rarely drink much, and I hadn't want coke. 1:00 When the lights came on, I asked if Tony wanted to go to Probe, and found out he had to get his roomate. And they had a white Mustang convertible. I was feeling quite good now. [yellow highlight]

They dropped me at my car, and I started to lead them to Probe, but they overtook me, and went down the "No thru traffic" street. I was begging to think this was bizarre. [yellow highlight] And his friend was very negative on a lot of stuff, perhaps just posturing against me.

On arriving at probe, I offered to get Tony a drink, but no thanks and he didn't feel like dancing w/ me. So I had a good time dancing- 3 songs with Dick, and danced 1 song dully with Pat. When I went to find Tony, they were playing pinball, Tony badly losing. Pat + Dick said they were leaving so I showed them out. Pat said it was ok to bring Tony, or both, home. [yellow highlight]

But by the time I returned, they were dancing together, having a good time. Arms around each other, after dancing. [yellow highlight]
