I’ll fill in more details tomorrow — well, later today — when I am rested and sober and have some actual solid food stuffed down my gizzard. But among those spotted: fetish director Wolfgang Bang, with whom I caroused for awhile, and NakedSword.com honcho Tim Valenti, who grabbed me and said, “I’m about to cause some controversy!” And then the music picked up and I heard absolutely nuthin’. Ah, nuts. Someone draggged him away before I could ask for a recount.

I also had a nice chat with Tony Buff — dreamily handsome in person — who just wrapped his first extreme fetish flick for Titan Media and is prepping his follow-up. Hanging in the vicinity were Derek da Silva and Steve Cruz — it was actually his party, held inside a men’s clothing store, to promote HowIRoll.info.

We cruised through the Bel Ami party, where I reunited with Josh Elliot, Dolph Lambert and Luke Hamill (”Do you remember me?” he asked. As if I could forget!) They were out on the sidewalk signing autographs and handing out condoms to starstruck, drooling fans. Then we popped over to the PornTeam.com party where I chatted with cutie-patootie Turk Melrose, and on to a NakedSword.com blogger party, and then the Titan Media party where I ran into writer/director Jet Blakk with Wolf Hudson and long-donged Spike, among others. I looked up at one point to see six or seven spectators out on the street pressed up against the window, panting heavily. We turned around and realized Tony Buff was engaged in a heavy fisting scene up on the television monitors. Just another night in the Castro!

Also seen outside the Titan party: Tristan Jaxx and Tristan Phoenix, both of whom read GPTimes, and Ricky Sinz with Diesel Washington, who nearly crushed me in a bear hug. He is reading every single comment to the Michael Lucas “blog war” posting elsewhere on this site. He also introduced me to his proud stepfather, who happily shook hands with fans and talked up his stepson’s fame.

At the Falcon Studios party I exchanged anecdotes with Roman Heart about living and working in Prague. He’s just returned from shooting a porn flick there, and prefers South America. Sitting nearby was Benjamin Bradley, who burst out into an infectious grin when I said hello; he’d read a recent comment about my picturing him in football shoulder pads and a jock strap, and offered to send me a few photos of same. I might just keep those for myself…

Outside on the street, among the throngs of fans, agent Howard Andrew of Fabscout, editor/composer Rock Hard, official GAYVN photographer Mark Kliem of LavenderLounge.com, shutterbugs Kent Taylor and Anthony Duran, directors Steven Scarborough and Chris Ward, and a whole crapload of porn stars: Aden Jaric and Jordan Jaric, TJ Hawke, RJ Danvers, an 80’s porn star whose name I forget, a newcomer with the last name “Colt” who showed me his balls trussed up inside his leather pants, Will Clark (I think), oh, and Jason Ridge, too, just as handsome as ever. We chatted for a bit and he filled me in on his current exploits.
