Brent Everett Goes Cobalt Blue
It’s one social event after another in these here parts, these last few weeks, and right now is probably peak week. But not everything is formal dinners and charity drag pageants.

To view an assortment of photographs from the evening, Hearsay directs you to its cousin, Scene.
The biggest man in the joint? That would be former NBA star John “Oh, You” Amaechi, in town to speak at the Out & Equal conference. Can you imagine being 6’10” — in Cobalt? Hearsay considered asking Amaechi for some basketball pointers, specifically how to get two balls through a tight ‘n tiny hoop, but then decided that what’s the point of taking up sports this late in life and got back to slurping its martini, which is a sport unto itself. Amaechi seemed to be in good spirits and stayed till closing along with Cobalt regulars Steven “Club Monaco” Fretwell, Steve “Goldilocks” Finafrock, Mark “Blue Bonnet On It” Milligan, Chaz “It’s Not Butter” Crawford, Shane “Stand Back” Griffith and Ray “Funny Fleece” Madrid….
