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 Night Before
The first night everyone arrived in Los Angeles, which was Saturday the 30th, we packed into a few cars and headed out to West Hollywood or WeHo as the gay's call it and started our evening with a few drinks at the Abbey.

Can you say Asian sandwich? Bernard, Rich & Philip (More Asparagus?)
Look who we ran into! Ben & Ed formerly from Phoenix
As I was looking across the room I immediately spotted Ben, an old friend and business partner of mine from Phoenix who has since moved to Los Angeles. He was at the Abbey with his pseudo roommate Ed, also from Phoenix. He came over, hung out and we had a chance to catch up a little bit.
We stayed at the Abbey long enough for a few drinks and then walked next door to Heat. It was certainly the happening place of the evening, packed with wall to wall people.
Look who else Justin & I ran into! Kevin!
Kevin actually knew we were coming out to Los Angeles and we first met up with him at the Abbey. Although brief, it was good to get a chance to catch up with Kevin and spend a little time with him. Kevin moved from Phoenix to Los Angeles a few years ago and is loving every minute of it. Every time I talk to him he wants to know when Justin and I are moving out as well. Patience my boy, patience.
They're all secretly wearing Invisaligns! Stan, Randall, Philip & Bernard

2 yummy boys from San Fran hanging out with Tony & Dallas Justin
Around 2 AM everything started shutting down and we were quickly ushered out of the bars and onto the street. We packed it up and headed out to grab a bite to eat at some late night dinner. Stan proceeded to wow us all and promptly ordered the $9.99 full dinner special with salad and dessert. Let me tell you that kid can eat, but also no photos of it for prosperity. So sad. After some food, a few stories and many laughs, we headed back to Philips where 12 of us would be spending the night.
