The party celebrating the 10th anniversary of IN Magazine last night was an absolute scene at Gonpachi restaurant in Beverly Hills and the free Pink vodka had everyone in fine spirits - including me! But the evening is not all a blur, I do remember seeing and talking to all kinds of folks starting with the magazine's ace political reporter Karen Ocamb who greeted me as I arrived and introduced me to her publisher David Stern. Karen's stories and columns are always a must-read but have beeneven more so during the primary season.

Saw several cast members from here! TV's "Dante's Cove" starting with Reichen Lemkuhl who was, as always, very sweet and looking even more handsome than usual. Chatted with Reichen and actor-comedian Jason Stuart whose special 'Making it to the Middle" will air throughout the month. Also talked with Jill Bennett who was a terrifc addition to "Dante's" this past season.,

The lovely Thea Gill of both "Dante's" and "Queer as Folk" and I gabbed awhile and I kept telling her how much I liked her hair. I think the free vodka was starting to take effect. Thea and I talked about "Dante's" which is one of my favorite guilty pleasures and we decided for the fourth season, she and Tracy Scoggins' character of Grace (they play rival sisters) need to have a real Krystal-Alexis Carrington fight in a mud pit or a swamp or at the very least a swimming pool! Thea is featured inside the current issue of IN.

Had the pleasure of waiting in the drink line with Michael J. Ferrera who is the co-founder of Lifeworks Mentoring, a terrific mentoring organization that is making a difference in the lives if LGBT youth. I met Michael a few years back through my close friend, Eddie, and am looking forward to the annual Lifeworks fundraiser in June.

With my third free drink in hand (they were very tiny glasses), I found my pal Jim Key and spent the rest of the party hanging with him and assorted others including the manager of a famous singer, a guy who looked like Javier Barden a little,, a dude who looked like a buff Tom Brokaw, and a musician of some sort who I think was nominated for a Grammy.

Names escape me but I remember some photos being taken by someone, somewhere, and I'll post them if they surface. The 4-7 p.m. party ended abruptly when, basically, everyone got kicked out. No lingering here. But it was one of those fun times where you had everyone at the valet waiting for their cars at the same time so the parking lot becomes a bit of a scene. Scores of people took the party over to nearby Here Lounge in WeHo and I was among them.

All I can say at that point is what happens at Here Lounge, stays at Here Lounge!
