We went to ‘Indulgence’ and did I indulge.
Posted by michellemoquin on 11th September 2008
Oooooh this is a toughy for me this morning. I am not used to going out on a school night :), partying like there’s no tomorrow, only getting 5 hours of sleep (this factor alone makes me cranky), AND keeping my commitments such as getting up and posting my blog for the day. Throw in going to class – nope, not today. Sorry, Ms. Crystal, if you’re reading this, this girl is playing hooky today. There is only so much I can do in the state I am in.
Doug and I were invited to attend Harry Denton’s 12th Anniversary ‘Indulgence’ party last night, at his signature Harry Denton’s Starlight Room, and being that it feels like we haven’t ‘indulged’ in awhile, we decided to go out and do just that. Harry ‘indulged’ us by seating us at this perfect booth right in the heat of it all while continually ‘indulging’ us with champagne and delightful conversation. Our good friend Steven surprised us with his presence, and joined us at our booth…I was just loving being surrounded by my favorite men. Could it get any better? Yeah, get me out on that dance floor for a spin and my night is just perfect. Of course that is exactly what I did and yes it was just perfect.
I’ve known Harry for over 15 years now. I met him when I was dancing at his first establishment ‘Southside” in the south of Market in SF. I wanted to cocktail at Southside, so while shaking it up on the dance floor with him (Harry is too much fun to dance with), I offered up my services and he bit. The very next week this girl was practicing how to carry a tray above her head, because I was just hired in one of SF’s hottest bars and I had no experience. I handled it I must say, dropping only a tray full of drinks on top of my head once. Since then Harry and I have been good friends.
It’s always fun at the Starlight Room and has a sweet place in my heart. Not only because I adore Harry and had the wonderful opportunity to design the gowns that the cocktail servers wear, and not only because it is on top of a very famous and old hotel, the Sir Francis Drake, with one of the most spectacular views of San Francisco, but because Doug and I were so fortunate to have our wedding reception in this special place. It was not only beautiful and one of my happiest memories, but a memorable celebration, a party to say the least (people still talk about it) and each time I am there it is as if the party never ended. The Champagne flowed then and it did last night. Harry knows how to throw a good party.
Oh and later on in the evening, Doug and I decided to escape onto the fire escape and enjoy a view from outside…seems we were not alone. Harry came out and joined us for a ‘smoke’ and a little chit chat…and yes, we do have a few celebs here in SF…seems Sean Penn was ‘indulging’ out on the fire escape too.
And to carry on in the mood of ’indulgence’, Doug and I zipped over to ‘Sparkey’s’ a 24-hour joint that we used to visit after a night of partying. Once again we ‘indulged’, only this time in pancakes, eggs and fries. Ya gotta love late night munchies…however, somehow I remember it tasting much better years ago.

Thanks ZL!
Hey Doug: Bali ho – let’s go! Even if McCain and Ms Pain don’t.
Hello Zhun: Once again, I am envious of all that you are experiencing. I wish you could send photos.
Okay, got to go. Now I’m going to ‘indulge’ in some morning Java and drag myself to class. Have a good one.
Gratefully your blog host,
michelle ?
