SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Ten nearly naked gay adult performers working the crowd, socializing at dinner tables in their undies, getting fondled inappropriately and spoon feeding a special "porn star dessert" to the customers. That's what hosts Jason Sechrest and Josh Griffin promise will happen every Wednesday starting Nov. 19 during "Industry" at Numbers Bar & Restaurant.
"I host a lot of local events that feature a porn performer as part of the party, but this is different because here the porn performers are the party," Sechrest said. "Instead of one porn star as a featured attraction, we're making the gay porn industry the main attraction. Numbers Bar & Restaurant has a history of supporting escorts and gay porn performers, so it's really a very perfect fit."
Gay performers slated for opening night include Cameron Adams, Jeremy Bilding, Tory Mason, Lex Sabre, Trevor Knight, Antonio Milan and Tristan Mathews. The evening will begin at 6 p.m. with the guys socializing throughout dinner and cocktail hour.
"When the DJ begins, the music will get louder, the boys will get wilder and the party will really begin," Sechrest said.
On launch night, DJ Chi Chi LaRue will spin the tunes. The Industry inaugural event will double as the official after party for the Vista Theater's screening of the new here! TV series "Everything You Wanted To Know About Gay Porn Stars (But Were Afraid To Ask)," directed by John Roecker. Gay porn performers featured in the series will attend, including Channel 1 Releasing exclusive Johnny Hazzard, Nick Piston, Caleb Carter, Danny Vox, Joey Milano, Kris Anthony, Jason Ridge and Nick Capra.
"I want it to be like this every week," Sechrest said. "That's why we're calling it Industry. I want it to be the place that people in the gay adult entertainment world can come and make their own special, exclusive hangout; a place they know they'll be treated like royalty and where their fans can come to meet them in person."
