Trolling for ideas

The 70s lasted ten years (at least, although, like the 60s, they seem to have never ended for some people.)
My stay in Hot'anta lasted just under nine months in 1970.
From my coming out (to myself at least - and one other guy) on July 4, 1969 until I left the "scene" for several years in late 1978, there should be lots and lots of stories to tell.
I know I've told several to friends over the years. And I've reflected on several more while on long interstate drives by myself.
So why can't I conjure them up now to continue my "book?"
Let's see, I've written about meeting Danny and the subsequent relationship and breakup, about Larry and our shopping trips, about Charlie and boys' inseams, about the bar raid I escaped from, and about late Saturday nights at the Marriott.
What else happened in almost nine months?
Well, there was the night with the guy who - while we were in bed - regaled me with how he liked to "beat up on" his ex-boyfriend. That might have possibilities.  I didn't get "beat up on" that night, but I did leave early in the morning only to find my car battery was dead.
Then there was the night I met up with my crosstown morning radio competition at a dance bar and he was there with his boss, who was apparently his boyfriend. (And he worked for a country station, no less!)  Yeah, that has possibilities.
As for Joey, there were many adventures to his mountain home in Sevierville, but none really gay-themed.
Oh, and then there was "boxer shorts" boy who wanted to be boyfriends but wanted to make sure no one else knew.  He was two years younger than me and looked older than me, but was sure others would consider me an "older man" (I was 26) and be suspicious. Yeah, paranoia has possibilities.
And then there was "I'm not gay but I like to go to gay bars and sleep in the same bed with gay guys" boy.  Paranoia and identity crisis there. He wasn't gay, but only went to gay bars and wore nylon jockey shorts.  
Maybe I can use my road trip this week to flesh some of these out, so to speak.
Any preferences for where I should start first?  Let me know.
