ACL Pre-Party at W Austin Hotel & Residences
Like SXSW before it, ACL has attracted a host of pre-parties, post-parties, side-parties and after-parties. One that drew a comely crowd was staged by W Austin Hotel & Residences on Thursday. While the ground-level bars hummed, this party occupied the banqueting rooms upstairs.
Raul Borromeo and Takkara Brunson
Some top socials were present: Wendi and Brian Kushner; Andrea and Dean McWilliams, etc. The main tribe, however, were more the clubbing kind. And why not when the musical attraction is eclectic British singer Katy B., herself a mere 22 years of age?
Ty Pryor and Keli Rabon
While most of the sleekly dressed masses soaked up the sounds, but I was forced to retreat to the hallway and balcony because of the amplification. Here’s my problem: My job is to listen to Austinites and then tell their stories. Can’t do that when every word is drowned out. Luckily, plenty of folks joined me in the comparatively quiet hallway.
John Goeth and Phillip Solomon
We aren’t allowed to share any details yet, but we heard of a smashing party planned for the tiered decks around the W’s pool. If all goes as indicated, it could be the social smash of the season. Will report at the right time.
