Union Street

So Jess posted the pictures of Zack in his lady killer outfit yesterday for Union Street Festival, but I figured I'd add some commentary.

Zack was real excited to go "cougar hunting." In case you don't know what courgars are, here's a reference: http://www.urbancougar.com/. He had to wait a bit though, because we were meeting up with Matt Fetter (AKA - "Matty Cakes" or just "Cakes") who was in SF for a bachelor party. I'd guess lunch with a baby had to be different than the rest of the bachelor party weekend. After lunch we worked our way through the crowds to Bill's place for his annual Union Street party.

We thought it would be nice to get out of the crowd and sit down at Bill's for a while...WRONG!!! Place was packed. Seriously, I think Bill knows more people than anyone in SF. The reaction of people at the party was amusing.
  • Chicks (cougars in particular with biological clocks ticking like time bombs) were drawn to him like fly paper.
  • Then there were the kids (maybe 1-2 years out of undergrad) that were freaked out. I was holding Zack in Bill's 2nd room and a guy peeked around the corner, looked like he saw a ghost, and ran out of the room...for real, he ran!
  • When I walked from one side of the apartment to the other the crowd parted like the Red Sea.
  • As people were about to shotgun beers someone saw Zack and in a totally freaked out manner started telling Bill, "There's a baby at the party. No Bill, I'm serious, there's a baby at the party." At that point I tapped him on the shoulder and asked him to pass Zack's bottle to Bill to fill with water. Again, another dude totally freaked out.
  • Then there were our friends who were seriously all over Zack and wanted to hold him or just "waste time" staring at him.

Eventually we realized that the party was just too crowded and out of contol and we had to bail. So we left Meghan to party with the kids. We think Zack liked his 1st Union Street Festival, but he's more a low-key guy than a hard core party animal...at least now.
