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.

Tis the Season For Parties
@HOME. Justin and I just got back from 2 parties this evening. The first, a holiday party at Erik (one of my co-workers) & his wife Josie's home, and the second, a birthday party for our friend Glibert, at Homme in Phoenix. We went over to Erik & Josie's around 9 and hung out for a few hours hanging out and chatting with some friends. We didn't know many people but it was a nice time anyway. Around 11 we headed up to Homme, one of Phoenix's newly hip & rennovated joints, to catch up with Glibert and wish him a happy birthday.
Justin grabbed a cocktail while I opted for a lighter fare of Fuji bottled water and we headed over to the back of the bar to find Gilbert.
Gilbert looking radiant with his friend & beauty confidant (hairstylist) David.
Like a polite host, Gilbert introduced us to David chatting for a bit and gracefully excused himself to mingle with the rest of his guests. Apparently David is a Phoenix native, a Phoenician for you Arizona outsiders, and desperately wants to move to San Francisco to live and work. David and I were starting to have a nice talk about San Francisco before we were so rudely interrupted by these two ...
In my best Seinfeld voice, "Neuuuuuuman" Actually when Darin walked in I think the bar all yelled "NORM" if I wasn't mistaken. Maybe I was, who knows.
That's right it was Darin and Chris. Imagine seeing them there. *Eyeroll* Actually Justin and I did know they were going and were hoping to run into them. I politely introduced David to them. He must have been scared by them, because David quickly excused himself to move along.
Now as you can see ... Darin decided it was a tad chilly outside so he thought it would be fitting to don his new red scarf with the carefully placed pre-sewn-in hole. This of course was to put one end of the scarf through so as not to fall off his neck.
I will, however, let all of my readers in on the real reason he was wearing his new scarf and the glasses. It was to protect his secret identity of Drunk Man! That's right kids, you heard it here first. Rut ro, look out, someone must have left a 1/2 finished drink on the table over in the corner. Look there, it's a queer, it's a flame, it's an empty martini glass ... no it's Drunk Man to the rescue!
Drunk man made a quick sweep through the room picking up every 1/2 filled glass in sight and quickly finishing that pesky toxic alcohol so no one would be put in harms way and get intoxicated.
In the meantime, Chris decided that everyone in the room had to be informed of proper safety instructions and be shown where to find their nearest exit in case of an emergency, i.e. like the bar runs out of vodka or some other horrid, unimaginable atrocity. (Go Girl with your Green Belt!)
Ahhhh, I kid the boys. Darin and Chris are two of the funniest people I know and they are two really fun ass boy to hang out with. We just stood over by the table taking photos and laughing profusely at ourselves for being so silly.
We stayed until about 1 and then we all packed it in and called it a night. Tomorrow we're headed to ASU to see Evita and then to Mark & Richard's 20th Anniversary party with Darin in the evening. Whew, this weekend is like the worldwind tour.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I promised Chris something tonight so here it is my fragile readers, this is not for the faint of heart so put the children to bed, dim the lights and scroll down.
I have a pre-Christmas present for my good friend Darin ...
That's right folks, it's the new Bobble Head Darin. Get em while you can, I have a feeling supplies will be very, VERY limited this holiday season. There's a nasty rumor you can get em Boise in a few weeks. :-) Cheers!
