Austin Social Agenda, Jan. 17-23
This week, the inaugurations of Gov. Rick Perry and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst overshadow other Austin socializing.
After the sun goes down, some guests in cocktail and business attire will arrive at the Palmer Events Center for dessert, music, dancing, speeches and a cash bar. Tickets are $75. All part of the “Austerity Inauguration.”
Wednesday, respected Austin filmmaker David Modigliani privately screens “Espwa (Hope)” at the W Austin Hotel and Residences. The short documentary revisits inspirational work in post-earthquake Haiti. Modigliani is best known for “Crawford,” his doc about President George W. Bush’s adopted town.
I’m hoping that later in the evening, I can drop by FronteraFest’s Short Fringe at Hyde Park Theatre.
Thursday, San Antonio jazz great Jim Cullum — father to Vortex Repertory Theatre director Bonnie Cullum and uncle to Austin social connector Robert Nash — will play Annies on Congress Avenue.
Saturday, dig into the 5th Annual Chili Cold Blood Chili Cook-Off at Jo’s Hot Coffee on South Congress Avenue.
