Yesterday afternoon I met up with Darion and his friends at Will Rogers Beach in Pacific Palisades, CA for a day of volleyball fun as teams competed in the 2009 YPC (Young Professionals Council) Beach Volleyball Tournament to raise money for the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center here in SoCal:

The event was crazy fun and more than $40,000 was raised for the center!! While I did not play I was a very willing athletic supporter and did my best to not only donate but cheer on all the players … and what a fine body of players they were ;) After the jump, check out some of the photos that were snapped of yesterday’s tourney along with some photos from the fun afterparty …

Dairon’s team, Sandy Balls, managed to make it to the semi-finals before they were eliminated … but our friend Loy’s team ended up winning the whole shebang! Here are a few pics from the beach and afterparty:

And a couple of photos from the Hornitos Tequila photobooth:

‘Twas fun, ’twas a lot of fun. Much love goes out to Darion and all of his friends for working so hard to raise so much money for such a great cause. The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center does a lot of important work for GLBT youth here in SoCal and they can use all the help they can get.

After the long day of fun, I was wiped so I came home to crash … but tonight, David and I are meeting up with Kirsten, Darion, his friend Sebastian for a dinner and movie night. I think I’m finally gonna get to see (500) Days of Summer. Wee!!
