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.

Los Angeles NYE 2006 - The Day Shopping
We woke up somewhere around noon to White Steve cooking everyone breakfast. After eggs, bacon, bagels and hash browns we all got ready and headed our own ways. Stan, White Steve, Kendall, Steve & Randall headed out to the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, Tony & DJ headed to brunch at the Beverly Wilshire, Philip met up with some local friends to go over to the UCLA basketball game, and Justin, Jerry, Bernard and I headed up to West Hollywood for some coffee and then over to the Farmers Market & Grove for an interesting shopping experience.

Shopping at the Grove
Walking around the Grove was an interesting experience. Not only was there a ridiculous amount of hot guys all over the place, but Jackie from the Bravo TV show 'Work Out' walked right past us. It was a bit surreal, but I guess that's all a part of being in Los Angeles.

Jerry, Bernard, Justin and I spent most of the afternoon into the early evening walking around, talking, shopping and having a really great time at the Grove. If you ever get a chance to check out the Abercrombie store there, it's definitely worth it. Four stories high, shelves and shelves of clothes, interesting paintings, and a shirtless male model exhibiting pretty much the most perfect body I've ever seen, all while standing at the front door and greeting incoming customers. Only in Los Angeles.
Wow! I'm exhausted just reading all of that - but it sounds like you guys had fun. Bravo! My NYE was a lot more sedate - my partner and I went to one of our favorite French restaurants (which is truly one of the best restaurants on the West Coast - many awards) and had a stunningly good 6 course meal and WAY too much wine and champage (can you say hang-over, Jeffrey), then we basically came home and fell over (it's exhausting eating that much, and spending that much, too). Whew! Happy New Year!
P.S. - Kendall is a total HOTTIE. ;-)
