Brian Lawrence Live

Saturday, June 21
I had three events to work my way through this evening. First up, a stop at the Maryland Science Center’s annual Solstice party, held at the Center on the Inner Harbor. The party had a New Orleans theme, with lots of Big Easy-style dishes being served and music by Buckwheat Zydeco. Next, if was uptown to the Tremont Grand for designer Dan Proctor’s over-the-top 50th birthday party. The cocktail hour had an all-white theme, with guests dressed accordingly, then at 11 o’clock, the theme went psychedelic, and guests were bedecked with colorful Indian-inspired accessories and bangles. Joining in the fun were Marla & David Oros, Bob & Lola Jones and Dorothy Hamill. A Beatles tribute band was on hand to serenade guests and the party went long into the night (look for pictures from the party in our Sept. issue). Finally, it was over to Canton for the season-opening party at outdoor poolside lounge Aqua. The huge crowd of several hundred were chilling in the pleasant night air when we arrived, and the thumping music could be heard from blocks away. We quickly spotted a group of friends who’d claimed a lounge area next to the pool and proceeded to relax, knowing that it was the final stop of the night.
