Austin Social Agenda for Sept. 6-13
Deny the heat. Let the autumn social games begin!
Wednesday, H2Orange’s investors and friends gather in University of Texas President Bill Powers’ office.
Thursday, the Glossy 8 Style Makers will be presented at a private home in the St. Stephen’s School neighborhood.
Also that night, the breast cancer-themed Smile that Never Fades Gala returns to the Long Center.
Friday morning, the Beauty of Life luncheon for Hospice Austin returns to the Renaissance Austin Hotel brings back Carson Kressley as well as the Glossy 8.
That night, Ballet Austin throws the Party of the Decade in three parts, ending at the Seaholm Power Plant. We intend to linger at this special edition of Fete.
Alas, that means we’ll miss the Ransom Center’s Picture Perfect Evening, toasting the opening of “Discovering the Language of Photography: The Gernsheim Collection.”
Saturday, Royal Memorial Stadium fills for the University of Wyoming game. I’ll sneak out at half time. By then — knock wood — the game should be essentially over.
That will give me time to make the second of the Austin Symphony Orchestra opening concerts at the Long Center.
After that, we may drop by AGLIFF’s Centerpiece Party at Frank on Colorado Street.
Sunday afternoon, Mary and Howard Yancy hold a benefit at their home for Texas Book Festival’s Reading Rock Stars program.
Two AGLIFF closing bashes this night — at Charlie’s and, whimsically, Cheer Up Charlie’s.
UPDATE
The Symphony of Soul CD release, mentioned in a previous version of this post, has been moved to Oct. 17.

Sounds like your really busy and this is all great stuff that we can not wait to get informed on. Another event you may want to add to your agenda is Drink Pink. It started about year a go by a friend of mine that goes to St. Edward's University. It is a campaign dedicated to fundraising for breast cancer through Budweiser. He set it up so that about once a month they through a big Drink Pink party at one of the local bars downtown and all of the money raised from drinking the Budweiser there is for breast cancer. Like I said the idea was made and put together by one of our very own St. Edward's students, and from what I understand now has over 25,000 followers on facebook and is making a ton of money for breast cancer.
