Ivan's going away party, Castro District, SF. He came back.
Cocktail party fundraiser I organized for Mayor Willie L. Brown Jr.'s 7th Annual Domestic Partner Ceremony. Donated retail space (+20% discount) + donated liquor & food + DJ friends spinning + Friday night pre-going out timeslot + all of Dustin's friends donating $20 = lots of money raised for DaMayor.
We didn't know he actually was going to show up! He didn't realize the average party-goer could be his grandchild. He did like the total money raised, though!
Another pose with me!
Beautiful shot of Cano and the Mayor sharing a moment.
