This is Darth aka Ken aka Ky-Ky taking a minute of time to talk about a good cause that recently went down in Las Vegas this past weekend. Before I get started on that, it should be noted that CandyBarbie and I have made a lot of friends in Nevada and frequently travel there ever since my little brother, Colin, played 4 years of football for the University of Nevada. Many of the people we’ve gotten to know through those games are residents of Reno and Las Vegas.
The 25th annual AFAN (Aid For Aid’s in Nevada) Black and White Party took place Saturday night at the Cosmopolitan’s (our favorite new hotel) Boulevard Pool. We saw lots of tweets throughout the night from various celebrities that were in attendance, including a few funny pics, and thought what a fun time and great way to raise money for people living with HIV/Aids in Nevada.

The crowd at the Black and White party ranged from politicians and celebrities to everyday citizens looking to support the cause.
Here are some of the notables who were in attendance to support a good cause:
Miss Nevada 2011 Sarah Chapman
Penny Pibbets, Angel Porrino, and Melody Sweets of Absinthe (via AP's twitter)
Penn and Teller
Laura Croft (via LC's twitter)
Also in attendance were Nevada Congresswoman Dina Titus, actor Patrick Duffy, and other news and television personalities. It was announced at the beginning of the evening that the party had raised over $6o,000 in just pre sale tickets and donations alone. What a great night and event for a good cause!
