Hello I'm Rich Brown and this is my personal website and blog. I'm just your simple, average, down to earth, professional, out gay man and aspiring circuit boy, living in Phoenix, Arizona with a few things to say while trying to find my place among all the scary, conservative, religious nuts in this sick and twisted world.

Mellow Night with the P.B.Loco Boys
@HOME. Last night Justin and I had a pretty mellow night. Andrea called us earlier in the evening to see if we wanted to join their entire family clan for dinner. Justin had just gotten home from work and because I worked from home, I was in no way of being ready to go out in public, so we declined. Shortly afterwards, PB Loco Anthony called to see if we wanted to join him and Keith at Roscoes a little later in the evening. That sounded like a good idea, Roscoes is a nice mellow place to hang out. So I had to get ready and we needed to have dinner before going out.
Now I know you're all wondering what kind of scrumptious culinary delight I whipped up for us, but that's not really how it works here. Even though I love to cook, have had formal culinary training, and probably own more cookbooks then Betty Crocker herself, we never do actually cook. Rarely. Justin dosen't really care to cook and I just hate preparing food for dinner because it seems like so much trouble for just the two of us, so we usually end up eating out somewhere. Tonight was no different, off to grab a quick bite before meeting friends. Anyhooters, usually for us whenever we are going to 'grab something quick' it's not until we're in the car and down the road before we actually attempt to decide. Tonight's menu ... Yack in the Box. Usually we choose something a little better then this, but in lieu of our time constraint we needed something fast. I actually enjoy many of the savory creations at Jack in the Box, which is probably the sole reason my cholesterol is high as well this time. Who can say no to the double bacon cheeseburger cibatta? LOL. Anyway we stopped off there, and in an effort to really try and be more healthy I got a grilled chicken sandwich. Woo hoo, aren't you proud of me? I'll have to admit that I did feel much better afterwards that I didn't consume a 1/4 pound of fatty, greasy beef.
Following our romantic and lovely fast food dinner, we headed directly up to Roscoe's to meet up with the P.B.Loco Boys, Anthony and Keith. We walked in and perfect timing, they must have just gotten there themselves because they were getting ready to walk up to the bar and grab a drink.
In usual gay tradition, when greeting fellow friends, we hugged, we smooched and then became all giddy like a pack of little school girls. Actually this was the first time Justin and I saw Anthony since the M.E.A.T Party and we just started laughing uncontrollably about how ridiculous and completely out of control we all were that night. I had forgotten Anthony had his camera with him as well and he had some, well lets just say interesting, photos to share with us. Perhaps I'll show some of them on my blog one of these days but I think I'd have to create a wall of shame page first, specifically for his photos.
Very quickly we ended up in front the the bar and I know I said I was going to be good. "Will power Rich, will power ... you can do it", I told myself. I looked around and saw all the people with drinks in hand, and all the delicious distilled beverages of every color and flavor behind the bar. Anthony and Keith were buying the first round, "What would you like?" said Anthony ... oh no here it was, the pressure ... "just water please" I said. And water it was. I promised myself I was going to take a break for a while, and I'm not going to let myself down on this one.
So with my water in hand and the rest of us with drinks we headed over to a table near one of the pool tables. Keith enjoys playing pool so Justin, Anthony and I just hung out at a table and talked while Keith went over and worked the pool table.
Apparently Anthony thinks Keith is especially cute when he's playing pool. Well duh! Who can resist a big strong man with a nice hard wood in his hand. :-P Fortunately for us Roscoe's wasn't that smoky, perhaps they got a new filtration system installed? One will never know, but it was a nice enjoyable evening just sitting and chatting with friends. We all decided to call it quits and head home around 12:30. We said our goodbyes outside and quickly jumped into the car because it was freezing out. I looked at the temp in the car and it said 54 degrees, brrrrrr, winter has arrived in Phoenix, time to get the extra blanket out. ;-) Needless to say, once again was a nice, quiet, enjoyable evening out with the P.B.Loco Boys. Cheers!
