Which was a far cry from last year, when the main attraction, Stone Temple Pilots diva Scott Weiland, would only say a private hey to Ernie and ONE other guest. The rockers and the Go-Go’s mixed and mingled with about 100 of Ernie’s most favorite party guests in the host’s music room above his massive garage (which houses an immaculate Ferrari and a vintage Triumph TR-6) at a private meet-and-greet.

The lady rockers got the dancing started by launching into 1982’s “Vacation,” then worked their way through their catalog of tunes, including “We Got the Beat,” “Head Over Heels” and “Cool Jerk” - during which they were joined onstage by Ernie’s 86-year-old Uncle Henry doing the Watusi! ![]() “Thanks so much for inviting us to this great party!” shouted Go-Go’s frontgal Belinda Carlisle as she and her fellow Go’s took the stage around 8 p.m. And unlike last year, when Hurricane Irene threatened to shut down the party, it was a perfect night for schmoozing and boozing.
