AGLIFF party at Vespa Austin
Don’t go to the Vespa Austin dealership on South Lamar Boulevard unless you want to be seriously tantalized by the classic urban vehicles in dozens of models and colors. The business moved from 500 N. Lamar Blvd. recently — somebody inform Google Maps, please — and the showrooms are lined with the waspish two- and three-wheelers.

We weren’t shopping, exactly (seriously, Kip), but instead attending a small party for the Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival, the core cultural event for the Central Texas GLBT community every year. We caught up with old friends of the community, and met newcomers eager to help with this indispensable organization.

We also tasted the signature cocktail of the event — now every event has one — a Bloomtini, which includes Sweet Leaf Ice Tea. That’s a trend: tea in cocktail, and though it doesn’t sound palatable at first, it adds a kick and balances out the various fruit and alcohol elements.
