He does crawl out at night! Danny, Jennifer Ross' former co-anchor on the WRMF-97.9 FM morning show, pours drinks for charity at Rocco's Tacos in West Palm Beach (Michele Sandberg/Special to Page2Live)
It was a three-shindig Wednesday night for Page2Live.
First up, the Arthritis Foundation had media personalities tend bar at Rocco’s Tacos on Clematis in downtown West Palm Beach. Tips went straight to the nonprofit’s coffers.
In the wake of Jennifer Ross‘ ouster from WRMF-97.9 FM, her former co-host didn’t seem too happy to be there — even if he, at least, still has his day job.
Danny, a.k.a. Ralph Czekalinski, was a little out of place behind the bar, instead of on a stool on the other side.
Those still sore at the station for firing Ross were able to ignore the big guy and order from WPTV-Channel 5’s dynamic trio, anchor Jay Cashmere, sports guy Ryan Lieber and weatherman Glenn Glazer.
Next up was a season kickoff for the Young Friends of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County. It was actually a great occasion to discover the Omphoy Resort, a swanky new boutique hotel in the old Palm Beach Hilton, on the south side of The Island. The place looks like the swankiest Miami Beach joint.
“It’s a hot new hotel, and we’re hot, too,” said the society’s Director of Development, Kae Jonsons.
In the crowd: Scott and Ewa Diament, Zach Bell, the chef at Palm Beach’s Cafe Boulud, designer Steven Stollman, and Maureen Conte and David Butler, among others.
Finally, the Gentlemen of the Garden had their pre-Halloween party at The Warehouse in West Palm Beach. It wasn’t so scary, except that a woman risked serious injury while pole-dancing. The GOG, by the way, throws the yearly Devil’s Night party at the Ann Norton Sculpture Garden in West Palm, by far the area’s coolest costumed shindig. If you’re going — don’t bother unless you’re willing to shell out a couple hundred bucks for an elaborate scary outfit — this year’s edition kicks off at 7 p.m., Oct. 30.
In the crowd: Kirsten Braden, society lensman Lucien Capehart (without his tools), Kelly Murray, Natalie Schwartz, Valerie Sackman and others.
