STONEWALL ICON TREE SEQUOIA'S BIRTHDAY BASH
****
BIRTHDAY LEGEND
****
Tree Sequoia With Elvis Duran, Johny Pool And Alex Carr
This was a really great day to be out and about in New York City.
I went too Stonewall legend Tree Sequoia's birthday bash at the famed club and saw a lot of old friends who I have known for so many years. It was amazing how many friends and celebrities showed up to wish Tree a happy birthday. There was the famed Johny Pool along with radio icon Elvis Duran and Alex Carr. I spotted many Fire Island friends and I heard cable queen Robin Byrd showed up after I left. I loved watching Tree celebrate his birthday and at the same time he is bartending. But this is Tree. He loves working at his own celebrations. Ever since I can remember, every party Tree has hosted, he works. Tree says, if he's working, he won't get so smashed. So it was funny watching Tree make drinks at the speed of light and at the same time run over to blow out his birthday cake candles and greet his friends.
I go back many years with Tree. When I first met him, I was only 18 years old and back then that was the drinking age. He was bartending at The 9th Circle on West 10th street and we became instant friends. Over the years he moved around to other locations and his fans followed him. I always loved bringing my celebrity friends to meet Tree and they all loved him. Tree along with Johny Pool are legends in the Gay revolution, they were there and they saw it all.
I wish Johny Pool and Tree would write a book together, to record the history of The West Village for future generations. These are the guys that saw it all, and the stories they tell will keep you on the edge of your seat.
We wish Tree many more Happy Birthdays!
