Here are some of the fine folks who came out to celebrate
that I’m now a year closer to the ol’ dirt nap…

Realizing that I’ve been — ahem — under a bit of stress as of late,
Jessicka took it upon herself to organize a dinner at
one of my favorite local eateries, Casita Del Campo:

Swish Hips Earn Tips:
Rawk Chicks Lisa Leveredge and Jessicka

None other than Miss Lenora Claire was there

Totes lettin’ us have it with the twins!

[ Which I'm not mad about...ain't mad about at all... ]

Wordsmith Brendan Mullen of Lexicon Devil, We Got The Neutron Bomb,
and Live at the Masque: Nightmare in Punk Alley fame

Kim Sosore and William Mills — i.e.,
Just about the cutest damn couple in town

whereas

only half of this duo is “lookin’ good”…

and that half of which I speak
by no means is myself!

[ Beneath my grip is the beautiful journalist
known as Caroline Ryder ]

Of course,
I feel it imperative to announce :

NOT A SINGLE MARGARITA WAS SLURPED AT THIS DINNER…

Jessicka Addams. Lisa Leveredge.
Proof/Pudding?

Mmm Hrmm…

Yeah, right.

Damn shame I can’t blame my own bad behavior
on anything other than…

Luis Payne of Hairroin Salon!

[ Now, there's an exclamation point
that wants to be an interrobang "when it grows up". . . ]

And speaking of the ol’ “!?” —
I should move on to THE PARTY, fer F’s sake!

However, before I clack a single syllable into the keyboard,
I want to give a
Huge-Ass Honkin’
Load of THANKS
to my pals

Adrian and The Mysterious D
of

Club Bootie

For hosting a birthday shin-dig for me
and my “Thousand Closest Imaginary Friends”

with the legendary Paul V
at
Bootie L.A.

[ one of several monthly parties thrown around the world —
I'm so proud to see two pals from S.F. go 'Global!' ]

♥ HIT IT, DEIRDRE! ♥

Also, I must admit I wasn’t exactly bummed to have Rony Alwin of

Rony’s Photobooth

there to chronicle some* of the evening’s guests…
