Austin Monthly Issue Launch at Urbanspace
May I admit that I attended for Colt McCoy? Yes, I was curious about the other articles in the current issues of Austin Monthly and Austin Monthly Home. And I had already congratulated editor Helen Thompson on the innovative color scheme in the Home edition.
Candace Carlisle and Amanda Garcia
But I attended the AM issue launch at Urbanspace on West Fifth Street to pop a social columnist’s question to a famous quarterback. The usual cocktail-hour crowd showed up. Also American-Statesman humor columnist John Kelso, which made the event doubly interesting. (Which angle would he take, I wondered, if he wrote about this modish tribe?)
Bo Harvel and Soumya Ramakrishnan
The grub supply was generous, and the party, which spilled into the Threshold interior furnishing showroom, grew steadily as the first hour of the party progressed. Then I found out: McCoy, who flashes his baby blues on the cover of the June issue, would not be attending. Nor fiancee Rachel Glandorf.
Sandy Weatherford and Monica Brown
Darn. I was going to ask whether they planned to keep a place in Austin, like other former Longhorns. Well, best of luck to him in Cleveland. We’ll miss his steady leadership of the football team. And congratulations on the July 17 wedding, both of you.
