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.

Friday Night in Phoenix Arizona
So those of you who have been reading my blog long enough you should well know by now that the weekend bar circuit in Phoenix consists of usually Amsterdam and then Charlie's. It's not always that routine, but more then likely ends up that way, for us at least.
Last night Justin and I were feeling a little anxious to get out of the house so we decided to go out for the evening. We actually started out this time at Roscoe's where we walked in, grabbed a drink and then stood in the middle of the bar while different groups of friends took turns looking at us. Now don't get me wrong, while I do enjoy the recent added attention this was just wierd. Talk about feeling like outsiders. We quickly finished our drinks and headed somewhere comfortable to us ... Amsterdam.
Walking into Amsterdam it was nearly empty, so we headed to the back to see if anyone was outside. Our faithful bartender Stacy was tending out back so we grabbed a drink and almost immediately ran into Mike who we met at our Holiday party last year. Mike was there with his friend Michael and was the start of what was to become a really fun friday night.
We hung out, drank, drank some more and got to know Mike and Michael a little better. It's always great to be able to meet new friends, it makes life so much more interesting and much better when you go out because you know so many more people.
After a few laps around the entire complex of Amsterdam, Club Miami and the Malibu Beach Bar, we also ran into Kevin and then Jerry ...
I haven't seen Jerry since Justin's birthday party at our house, so it was good to see him out again. We all decided it was time to head up to Charlie's so Jerry went up with us as well.
We kept running into other people we knew such as Lance and the super cute Lee who just left us this summer to attend Med School in Tucson.
After a little too many drinks the debauchery of the evening started ...
Justin was being molested by first Michael and then Mike while I ended up making out with a 6'5" drag queen. The next thing Jerry, Justin, Mike and I were huddled in the middle of a four way make out session on the back patio. We were drawing quite a bit of attention as we were just doing our thing. Out of the corner of my eye I kept seeing other guys pointing at us all, walking over to us and even going as far as trying to get into the middle of our little four way to make out with us. It was a very interesting time and I'm certainly not going to tell you what happened after that, you'll just have to use your imagination.
As much as I used to say I hated going to Charlie's in the past, it's really changed over the past year. Almost every time we go out there, we end up having a great time and I'm starting to build a library of interesting stories from there.
The good news is that we're going out again tonight, so hopefully more pics to come. Have a great weekend everyone! Cheers.
