When Florida Meets L.A. 2008 (Days 1 and 2)

This has been a very busy and wonderful weekend for me as it has marked the visit of one of my best friends Albie. He and I have known each other since 1st grade and the last time he was in L.A. was five years ago!

He's traveled along with his great new bf Joe and Saturday night we did the West Hollywood thing first hitting up The Abbey...


A few friends of other met up with us there and it was fun until this white-jacketed hot mess popped up...


Doing some weird combination of vogueing, snapping, and sassing...It was a little confusing, amusing, and frightening all at once and it was also a sign that we needed to move to another venue...Fiesta Cantina...


...where I was very excited that the TVs were turned on to Fox Reality Channel.

Day 2...and the skies were really blue...


...we headed out to the beach...


...capped it off with dinner at my place and some "Desperate Housewives"-ing with the gang introducing Albie and Joe to my lovable dysfunctional L.A. family...

More pics from the fun weekend are here and will be updated throughout the week as Albie and Joe continue their stay here...

Tomorrow...Disneyland and California Adventure!
