First to Arrive knows that every party host worries nobody is going to show up, so he’s always on time (never early) and bearing an excellent host(eds) gift. His classic style lends an air of sophistication to every soirée, but he’s an easy guest to keep happy and will bloom his head off when given plenty of sun and liquid refreshments. (Ahem.) You’ll find FIRST TO ARRIVE playing poker with FIRECRACKER, HOT SHOT, and PLAYBOY every Wednesday night. The number one topic? RICO SUAVE. Even the guys like a bit of gossip.
