POZ’s third annual fund-raiser for AIDS Walk Los Angeles, Love Out Loud, took place Thursday October 15, 2009 at H.Wood in the Hollywood Highland Complex.

There were some old friends and some new in attendance. Good friend, David Moretti of The Lair brought a surprise in the person of multi-talented performer, Jai Rodriguez. Thom Bierdz of The Young and the Restless arrived in the company of Joe Argazzi of Agape International Spiritual Center.
