I had a rare opportunity this past weekend.
I got to meet Phillip Aubrey.
With the interview, and subsequent conversations, we’d talked on the phone, skyped, emailed, and sent texts, but I’d never actually met him in person. Even being surrounded by mostly naked guys in various degrees of sexual activity couldn’t compare to finally hugging this kid who has been through so much, and who has become a friend over the last several months. We met up for dinner on 7th Ave. in Manhattan before the party started and my first impression of the beautiful six foot tall blonde was one of awe. Not only because of his appearance, but just how open and friendly he was. Sweet, kind, and affectionate, he seemed to be just as excited to meet me as I was to meet him.
