Austin Social Agenda: Aug. 30-Sept. 5, 2010
Today, devotees of Brad Sorenson, who appeared on “The Next Food Network Star,” toast the Asti cook at the Hyde Park-area eatery. A portion of the take goes to the American Cancer Society.
Also today, L Style G Style launches its September/October issue at Rain and Oilcan Harry’s on West Fourth Street.
Also Tuesday, the AIA Homes Tour 2010 previews at a private residence in West Austin.
Wednesday, the Arc of the Capital Area and Austin’s Anti-Defamation League unite for Austin Destination Dignity, a reception promoting respect for people with disabilities, at Austin City Hall.
Also Wednesday, Austin’s Lawrence Wright’s HBO film, “My Trip to Al-Qaeda,” previews at the Blanton Museum of Art in a benefit for The Texas Tribune.
Thursday, the tour for “I’m From Driftwood,” the website that collects personal stories from GLBT folks, launches at the Salt Lick in — where else? — Driftwood.
Also Thursday, Robert Rodriguez’s contentious “Machete” premieres at the Paramount Theatre. The after-party at Austin Film Society’s Austin Studios promises to be “explosive.”
If that party scares you a bit, chill down with the DJs of (In) Fused, who have moved to West Fourth Street at M Two on Thursday nights.
The next night, plan to check out First Friday Frolic with Adi Anand, who writes the blog “From The Mind of Adi,” at Club de Ville.
Also Friday, “The Intergalactic Nemesis” opens at the Long Center, followed by a small VIP after-party at Little City on Congress Avenue. A larger public event rockets over to the Highball on South Lamar Boulevard on Saturday.
Saturday, the Brazil Independence Day Celebration and Austin Aztex Pre-Game Tailgate Party parks at the Thundercloud Subs lot on West 12th Street.
Sunday, the Women’s Symphony League’s sneaks in a Spymaker-themed party at the Renaissance Austin Hotel.
Also Sunday, Heartbeats II supports Health Alliance for Austin Musicians at ND at 501 Studios in East Austin.
