"... THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR..."
Jason and Marqise wonder why they continue to be up in "... the life of Riley...". Well, they continue to be a STAND for me in ways that I so appreciate. I'm getting ready to embark on a huge, new chapter in my life. My Anthony is coming to town and we will live together. I am as excited as I am nervous. 
And Jason and Marquise who have been together for more than three years understand the possibilities and pleasure that await us alongside the potential for pain... growing pains...
In that spirit, Jason reached out and wondered if we might not get together for a night of cocktails and laughter. 212 RESTAURANT & BAR on East 65th Street near Lexington (www.212restaurant.com) was the location (Jason had his birthday brunch here while I was out of town). He gathered the troops which included Marquise and Troy. 
Khalid joined us. And if I didn't know better, I would think that Jason planned my special guest, who dined right next to us. It was Daniel Craig, the "new" James Bond. He and his party of four were already dining when we were seated, but as he got up to leave, he looked my way. I gave him a look of knowing. He nodded, smiled, and said "Have a good night!!!". I hadn't paid him much mind before last night, but in that passing moment, I found him quite charming. 
Meanwhile, we all enjoyed a wonderful meal. I had the tilapia.
From there, we hit a spot called "Club Secret" in Chelsea near the many other clubs on Club Row i.e. "Crobar", "Bed", "Marquee", etc. There, the usual suspects included Nathan Hale Williams, Sean Johnson, drag legend Flotilla Debarge (as her primary ego Kevin) and other ones to know - including stylist Philip Bloch. 
We all enjoyed each other's company and a night of shared stories, random sightings, and friendship. As I found myself sometimes veering away from the conversation into my head as I anticipate this next big chapter in my life, it was comforting to come back to the voices and the faces of... my friends!
