Leon is the man about town in Seattle and now let me tell you why. He knows everybody, everywhere, their history as well as the history of Seattle. From the owner of Cellars and The New Orleans Restaurant owner, to his connections with the Seattle Repertory Theatre and his non-profit charity. Leon has provide to me he is worth knowing if you live in Seattle. But not only for all his connections, also for his big heart. Here are some pics from Oscar Night. Leon arranged for us to see the play Red and then attend a birthday party for one of the former owners of The Paramount Theater down in Pioneer Square at the New Orleans Restaurant/Jazz Bar. 

Here Leon is with the former owner of The Paramount Theatre at his birthday party sporting a big birthday kiss. 


Raphael and Jeanie in a pose for me after the play. Rah is wearing Burberry and Hugo Boss. 


Red and black, it was all about the hair and the boots. 




Dancer and choreographer, a Seattle native sporting red and black with a beautiful smile. 


Masters of style enjoying  a good time at The New Orleans Restaurant on Oscar Night in downtown Seattle. We could of stayed home and watched the Oscars on TV but I find it's better to go out and live your own life like you're the star. 

You can watch a band on TV or you can listen to a band live and in person. 

New Orleans Restaurant has a long history of performers that have come through it's doors and graced it's stage. The photos and drawings on the wall pay homage to them all. Most of the art work is rare and priceless. How many faces can you name? 






Here is a portrait of the restaurant. 






The play was great and the actors were excellent. Go see it if it's in your city. 

Here is the original sign outside the restaurant. Now you tell me what year you think you would be able to get a room for 75 cents? And the sign still works. 

Rah, Leon and Harlem. The masters of style.....and just good friends having a good time. 

Leon giving a goodnight kiss to the owner of The New Orleans Restaurant. 

Goodnight and get home safe. 

Thank you 4 dressing!
