We had an amazing benefit at the Center for Sex and Culture.  Becka Shertzer, Chandra Gilbert made some absolutely divine food and Jennifer Jones, who has Eat My Love For You (eatmyloveforyou.com) made killer Mississippi Mud Cupcakes.  We could not have had better food.  My neighbor Rob Mokry played banjo with Andrea Savage and her girlfriend Anna Doty.
