So there I am, casually hanging out in a cigar bar

while on a business trip in San Fran. There are two guys sitting at the bar across from where I'm standing and we casually strike up a conversation. Ok, that's not true. They were entirely uninterested in me, but seemed particularly interested in my tall blonde female colleague who was smoking a cigar like an expert. So we start chatting and getting our backgrounds down... and I'll be damned if these two random dudes aren't Trident and jliu. I turn to my work colleague and say, "Hey, I know these two dudes from the internet!" These wonderful gentlemen then took time out of their busy schedule to ignore me and instruct the pretty blonde girl on all the nuances of cigars. Such magnanimous fellows. She's now hooked and plans to join the forum. Roman and June, great to meet you two in person. June, I'm back up in Nov, Dec, Jan, and Feb. We'll plan to join you if you are around.

    this is very true. She was dressed to the 9, but the first thing i did notice was the wedding ring. and in all fairness, the reason we ignored you was the pink shirt...i mean, really...a pink shirt in a cigar bar...on a dude. geez...

    That being said, it was great times and awesome to meet you.

    Well, sorry to say if you look like most of us I don't blames them at all for "zeroing in" on your companion. Sigh, life is what it is.

    But I do believe it was outstanding that you run into the both of them completely out of the blue. Karma can be good.

    But mixing alcohol.....Karma can be bad.

    Roman, I do believe your assessment of June to be accurate, given that he left most of a glass of cask-strength whisky sitting on the bar for me to finish. And chicks dig the pink shirt! So you're right... probably not the best choice for a cigar bar sausage fest.

    lets analyze...Going to a cigar bar in a pink shirt where chics will "dig it." and the girl on your arm = married. Sounds like a win win situation to me...but apart from that, you actually may have made the right choice because there was the highest men to women ratio i have seen at a cigar bar...

    all I know is, it was definitely good times. Chicago is next. have already started the planning phases. bring jamie too

    I for one was not looking at that girl. I was looking at Noah's bulging biceps. Nice clean shaven head as well.
    for sure let me know when you guys come back to the bay area!

    The only thing that could have made this any better is if all you guys were wearing the same pink shirt. Awesome story and very cool.

    Ok here's the chick's input: 1. The shirt was more of a coral than pink. Had orangey undertones, therefore totally manly. 2. Noah could wear sparkles and still pull it off. Especially in San Francisco. 3. I think I need to lift more often if biceps are more impressive than tight black dresses and super high heels! Noah, hook me up with your lifting program.

    Welcome aboard, Unicorn! I can't get over how much you resemble Helen Hunt in that bar pic (or she resembles you :) hehe) . Have you ever gotten that before?

    It might've had something to do with the guy taking our picture who looked like an Italian mobster.
