Garden State Equality's Legends Gala

On the heels of New York's victory for marriage equality Friday was last night's extraordinary Legends Gala fundraiser for NJ marriage equality and anti-bullying. My partner and I once again served as Executive Producers, and a stupendous evening it was attended by almost 800. It was an honor and thrill to have Lady Gaga's mom present an award to the seven courageous bullied teens honored for their bravery as they helped to bring the NJ Anti-Bullying act to legislature and signed by the governor. And the Lady herself ... Lady Gaga...making a surprise phone call live from Japan during the presentation to an awestruck cheering crowd. Thanks to the phenomenal talent from Broadway and beyond that entertained and to all GSE team and volunteers for their time and efforts in making this event the success it was.

Join Gary & Alan on the amazing Royal Clipper mega-yacht sailing ship next summer!

We're not a couple who tends to plan vacations a year in advance, but when we saw that our favorite cruise line, Star Clippers and its stunning Royal Clipper ship were going to be doing this extraordinary 11-night itinerary from Venice to Rome in July 2012, we jumped at it! We are SO EXCITED because we first fell in love with the 227 passenger, 5 mast Royal Clipper on a Caribbean journey we took in 2009 and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Star Clippers line. We've sailed a total of 7 times with this line since the 1990's, and on each cruise we feel an exhilaration like no other vacation experience out there. It's the combination of the nautical adventure, the bonding with the sea, open sky, the breathtaking destinations this sailing ship takes you to ... and the fabulous passengers and crew that you truly enjoy getting to know and share the experience with. And of course with my partner Alan and I onboard, there's always plenty of dancing and entertainment. Don't think this is a sailing ship where guests do the work - not at all. But there are fun opportunities that we can pull the ropes and act like skippers, all in good fun. And passengers climbing the mast is always a thrill not to be missed. We've done it and can't wait to do it again.

So if you would like to join us and are inclined to spend 11-nights of Mediterranean magic that you'll never forget, please reach out to me with a call or email. Take a look at the special pricing I have put together as we're hoping some of our friends, family and like-minded travelers will join in the fun and adventure.
