Goatee it on the mountain: The best way to kick off
the day of your bachelor party is an old-fashioned
shave. David Kligman travels all the way to Dublin
for a pre-wedding-run-through. Top, David enjoys
a cigar at the end of the evening.
The first stop on David's bachelor-party
itinerary is the Tonga Room at the Fairmont
Hotel, with fruity drinks all around.
Above, Mariusz Pomianek, Jason
Goldheim, David, Ben Seto, Philip
Altman, Donald Munro, Eric Risberg
and Dan Krauss whoop it up at the
Tonga Room.
Next stop: the House of Prime Rib, which is this
vegetarian place that David likes. And it has killer
martinis, too.
Scenes from Carnivore Central: David makes friends with the
bachelor bartender, who admires his "courage"; David digs
into his big, manly meal; the waitress mixes up eight salads.
Below, David in front of the Garden of Eden strip club in North
Beach. (He didn't go in, Ann. Honest.)
The Tosca Cafe is a happening place: David runs into
friend Catherine Batacan and her friend, Rhoan, who
are there on a blind date; above, Eric mocks David,
who's making a phone call to Ann to "check in." All
together now: Awwwwwwww.
Last stop: 15 Romolo, where David imbibes his
last drink of the evening. The final tally: Six
Ubangis, three margaritas, 11 beers, two liters
of martinis and a bottle of rubbing alcohol.
Well, that's the official story. The truth is a
sworn secret. Below, David finds a dollar on
BART. It's his lucky day!
The morning after: Cigar in hand, an
admirably hangover-free David greets
the day. Welcome to married life, Ann.
