We then backtracked a bit to stoli's house in Noe Valley. Stoli, correct me if I'm wrong, but it would appear that while Castro is the gay business district, nearby Noe Valley is the gay residential hub. I won't tell you which house is Stoli's in case there's a stalker lurking among my fan base, but it's a cute Victorian house that he's lived in pretty much forever. He was already drinking, presumably to prepare for the ordeal of spending the day with his older brother, although perhaps he was still drinking from the previous night. Anyway, we had a couple drinks, met the roommate and pets, and then headed out for brunch.
