**** 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.
