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.

Saturday Night Out with Justin, Antonio & The Jerry's
We looked at Justin's schedule and he had to work early on Friday morning, so we both agreed early in the week that we would just stay home, take the weekend off from everything, detox a bit, and just hang out. As is usually the case, that didn't last long. Because Justin did work on Saturday morning, he went to bed early on Friday night and I sat in front of the TV for a bit before falling asleep on the couch. After Justin got home on Saturday we did some cleanup around the house and I finally let him know there is no way in hell I'm staying home on a Saturday night.
I quickly grabbed the phone, called my friends and soon enough, Justin and I were headed out on the town with Jerry, Jeremiah & Antonio.

Antonio, Justin and I headed over to Jerry's where we picked up the two Jerry's (Jerry & Jeremiah). and then headed to Ticoz on 7th & Camelback to start our evening with dinner & drinks. The same people that own FEZ and Switch Bakery also own Ticoz. We've been there several times before and I really enjoy the food and the atmosphere. After finishing up with dinner we headed down to Burn Nightclub for a typical Saturday night of dancing.

Justin wasn't feeling too great after dinner, so he mostly stood off to the side and Jeremiah had to work early, so he didn't stick around at Burn for too long before heading home. As for Jerry, Antonio and I, well we had a great time. All I know is that I was dancing my ass off all night. Burn never really did get that busy which is sad, because the music was pretty damn good, but none the less I met a bunch of people and it didn't stop me from having a good time.
As Burn wound down for the night, Justin, Jerry, Antonio, Antonio's good friend Ron and I jumped into a cab out front around 2 AM and headed up to Charlie's for some after-hours dancing. The cab driver tried to throw in a extra charge and had an accent so thick no one could understand him. The highlight of the cab right was that at one point the driver was still trying to talk to us and Antonio looked at him and said "I'm sorry I can't understand anything you're saying right now ... but can you pull over because I'm going to throw up" The driver quickly pulled over and sure enough, Antonio jumped out and lost it. I think the driver was horrified at the fact that after just a minute, Antonio actually got back in the cab again. Antonio looked at the driver and said "Don't worry I didn't throw up on your cab!" Once again the driver started saying something we couldn't understand, but none the less he proceeded on his way and we all arrived at Charlie's in one piece without anyone else getting sick.
Wow, what happened to our shirts? Rich, Antonio & Justin at Charlies

We ran into Joel and his crew at Charlie's as well as this cute boy named Junior from Miami, who we actually met in New York in line for Stereo. I did know that Junior was dating someone from Scottsdale, I just didn't know it was one of the guys in Joel's entourage. It's such a small world. Once again we danced our asses off before the dance floor cleared out around 3:30 AM.
Justin, Jerry, Antonio and I left Charlie's and headed over to a private after-hours party just up the street with some friends. The party was actually winding down when we got there, so we made our appearance, and quickly decided to call it a night.
What started out to be a quiet weekend, turned into yet another fun filled Saturday night in Phoenix. Cheers!
