San Francisco and the Bay Area News & History

A tip of the cap to Bob Hunt CTG and SFTGG member since 1984

Good Morning Greg,

Your Tonga Room post brought to mind many Friday and Saturday evenings of my misspent youth.

You could spend the entire evening at the Fairmont Hotel.

And way too often,

I did.

Dinner, 

w/a beautiful babe sharing your table 

and a 

beautiful view of the City and the Bay 

at the Crown Room.

Enjoy that view, 

the rest of the evening will be indoors listening to awesome sounds.

After Dinner,

Drinks and music and dancing 

at the Tonga Room.

Then, 

more music, 

more drinks, 

and more dancing,

at the 

New Orleans Room.

Then,

The, 

“ Piece De Resistance “ ,

The Pop, or, Rock, star singer 

at the

Venetian Room.

And headliner stars they were.

And of course,

More Drinks!

Look to your right or left,

Local political luminaries were all around.

Former or current 

Mayors,

Robinson, 

Christopher,

Shelly,

Alioto,

Moscone,

Jordan,

And of course,

Willie Brown!

George Shultz and his beautiful Charlotte.

Occasionally 

Gordon and his beautiful Ann Getty.

Occasionally,

Gavin and Kimberly.

And don’t forget the occasional 

State Senator and State Assembly members.

Also,

various

SF Board of Supervisors members.

Wilkes Bashford to see his finery on display.

Stanlee Gatti to check on his decorations and party favors/table settings.

And Herb Caen to record the event.

Now it’s about 

1:00: or 1:30: am,

And you are way too drunk to drive home.

Who Cares!

Your auto is safely parked for the night in the Fairmont Garage.

You check in for the night at the Fairmont.

You’re Drunk, 

You’re Young,

w/money in your pocket,

and credit cards in your wallet.

You’re full of rum and other good spirits.

You’re w/a beautiful babe,

Living in the 

best City,

San Francisco,

In the best State,

California,

in the best country on 

Planet Earth, 

the USA!

Life is Good!!

Yes Indeed,

to be young again!

However,

You’re young only once!

Alas,

Life Goes On!

All the best,

Bob
