I haven't been here for years, but tomorrow (here, NZ), February 9, 2026 is the 20th anniversary of my then boyfriend and I seeing Brokeback, and we consider it our wedding anniversary, because 100 m from the cinema, he stopped the car and said "Well? Do we want to end up like Ennis, with a couple of shirts in a wardrobe, and a postcard?" I said No, and he began to move in with me full-time, and we've been together for 22 years.
When Annie Proulx came through to promote her next book, we went up afterwards to thank her. It took her a little to realise that we weren't just more of those tedious people who'd written fanfic with a happy ending: we'd lived one!
Is any of the old crowd still here? I've forgotten many of your real names, but there was the lady who was a docent at the Asian Art Museum in SF, and Peter who has cycled all of SF and done much to promote cycling there, who I stayed wtih in the Mission. If you're still about, it would be great to get back in touch.
