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 Party
After a rather scenic drive around downtown LosAngeles we finally made it over to the Hollywood Palladium. I won't mention why we ended up taking a rather long detour around the city because someone thought they knew where they were going and ended up taking us the wrong way. *cough* Philip *cough*
Gurl ... Where did you get that gay ass belt?
Wake up Jerry the party hasn't even started yet!

We walked in, looked around and the place was packed with guys of all types, ages and races, including some local celebrities such as Wilson Cruz, and a few Undergear models.
We must have been standing on the rice paddy side of the dance floor.
The devil on one shoulder telling me to do evil things ...
And the Angel on the other shoulder. Could you be any skinnier or whiter Justin?
As fitting as it may have been for being in Hollywood, a video montage of various movie clips from 2006 where flashed up on all the screens around the room which led us right up to a rather loud and exciting 10 second countdown to the new year!
Happy New Year 2007!
Confetti & Smoke spew down on the packed crowd
Interesting lighting casts a glow across the entire room as everyone kisses
Manny Lehman was the DJ for the evening and the party rolled on until 4 AM. Not ready to stop dancing we headed back to Philip's for a quick wardrobe change and then back out again to the Hollywood Arena for afterhours. The afterhours party was packed and I think most of us actually had more fun at the afterhours then we did at the main event. We danced until around 9:30 AM before packing it in and heading back to Philip's apartment to catch a few hours of sleep before bringing our weekend to a close.
There is really something tragic about walking out of a dance club mid-morning when the sun is full on in the middle of the sky. Oh well, we had a great time and will probably do it all over again next year.
Well that's it for the LosAngeles NYE posts and photos. Once again it was fun to spend time with our friends. I'm looking forward to this year as we'll all be getting together again for a few different parties
