April 7 - Despite an April snowstorm, music reigned Monday evening at the Eos Orchestra's benefit gala, hosted by composer Philip Glass and Sex and the City's Kim Catrall. Among the guests at the dinner, performance and auction were legendary composer Stephen Sondheim, artist Chuck Close, actor Oliver Platt and other movers and shakers. Naturally, there was live musical accompaniment from beginning to end.

Uptown at the GLAAD Media Awards ceremony we found Rosie O'Donnell, Diane Sawyer, Cynthia Nixon, director John Waters, Rosario Dawson, Phil Donahue and Marlo Thomas, to name a few. We were torn between these two events this evening, so we compromised and went to both.
