The Dana Street Saga

Life in Berkeley thirty years ago;
Searching for love and meaning

Wednesday, November 14, 1973 - 11:30 AM

Had a very nice night last night.

Stayed home in the early evening, filled out the application for Sonoma State. Still not sure I'll send it in.

Watched a little TV. There were about ten people watching. Finally rode to Pierre's around 10:30.

Penny was there. She came over to talk with me. After awhile, two girls she knew came in. Eventually she introduced me to Judith, a cute blonde.

Her friend was Nancy, with whom I talked the other night when she was checking IDs. She was very busty, and not my type at all, whereas Judith was slim and attractive in a Girl Scout sweater. I didn't really talk to her for awhile, as she was on the other side of the group.

Soon Susie came in and joined us, and she was friendly to me. But for awhile, I was pretty much by myself at the bar, outside the group.

During this time, a pretty girl, whom I'd seen before, came in and came to the bar next to where I was. She seemed open to me, so I said hi. I told her I'd seen her around, usually with a TV camera.

She said it was probably a tape recorder. Anyway, her name's Laurie, she's a reporter with KRA. We didn't say too much, but made friends.

After awhile, another friend of Penny's came over, a short-haired brunette named Carol. Penny introduced us, and she really came on strong to me. She was a real character, very "out front." Penny said she was really "off the walls."

Anyway, by this time, Judith had come over, and was sitting next to me. Carol asked me if we (Judith and I) were "close."

I said, "Well, sure. We're even touching," though we'd just met tonight. Earlier, our eyes had met a few times, and we'd exchanged warm smiles.

We got talking about ages and signs and birthdays. Judith is 26, August 22 (Leo-Virgo cusp), has Virgo rising (I think), and five Leos, including Venus. Carol was November 7, same as Mike.

At one point Carol said something to Judith that caused a slight rift, and Carol left, leaving Judith and me together. I felt good with her and invited her home with me (as she didn't have any place of her own, was crashing with Nancy). But she wasn't sure, said she had a bad back, was disabled. The question was left open.

After awhile Nancy said she was going to take us two home, as a friend of hers was bringing over some coke, and had invited Judith "and her friend." Judith indicated that was cool with her. By this time we were somewhat affectionate, so after awhile we left in Judith's car.

Nancy's friend, Ron, arrived shortly after we did, and we drank a little wine and snorted some coke.

By this time, Judith and I were quite affectionate on her bed, and after awhile I suggested we go to my place. It was almost 3 AM by this time.

She consented, and we came here, with me picking up my motorcycle on the way.

I showed her my housetruck on the way in. She said she's a truck freak, has a pickup, and is into mechanics too.

Then we came upstairs, put on some music, smoked a joint, and got affectionate again. We also talked, mostly about me and my changes.

After awhile, we began undressing by candle light. When we were both standing naked, we hugged, I admired her body, told her I dug her, and we got into bed.

I was quite aroused, and we caressed for a long time, but at one point I began thinking about making it good for her, and began to lose my erection. Then I spaced out into that worry trip again (performance anxiety).

But I leveled with her about it, said I was spacing out, that it wasn't her fault, but I'd gotten myself into an old head trip.

Judith said she'd felt something similar at about the same time, that we were only what we were for each other, didn't really know each other very well, and her earlier reservations about going home with me had been due to this feeling that we really didn't know each other very well.

Anyway, talking cleared the air, we relaxed again with each other, fell into gentle relaxed caressing, and soon I was very much aroused again. I placed her hand on my erect penis at one point, and she got into arousing me further, and soon I found her very moist, and soon entered her. From there we made love, slowly and deeply, first with me on top.

After awhile, she got on top of me, and we got incredibly close, and eventually we were both sitting, closely embracing. Finally, with me on top at the bottom of the bed, we both came to a very intense climax.

We must have made love for an hour or more. It was super-fine. She told me she felt like she'd had "so much, for one night." Then we cuddled for a long time more, before finally getting to sleep. We listened to Eric Clapton, Cat Stevens' Teaser and the Firecat, and part of Elton John. The music was very synchronistic.

This morning, we took a couple of hours gradually waking up and cuddling. We didn't make love, though we came close to it, deciding to get up, as she had a lot to do today. After last night, it would have probably been an anticlimax anyway.

We finally got up, got dressed, had some coffee and toast, and I showed her my housetruck again in the daylight, before she left to do her things.

We exchanged phone numbers, and I suggested we might go for a motorcycle ride one of these days.

Things were left on a very friendly basis. I like her pretty well. She's got an "old man," who's her best friend. He's a lawyer, but doesn't practice law, is gone somewhere, Mexico, she thinks. She was also married and divorced while younger.
