Style Week Rock + Runway at American Legion Hall
First, the drama. About an hour before the outdoor runway show was scheduled to begin, the wind rushed in. Then rain and lighting. All the rigging, lighting and support equipment for the Style Week Rock + Runway show was disassembled, while guests evacuated to the American Legion Hall.
Megan Powell and Ashton Baker
Minutes later, the threat had passed. Guests trickled out onto the lawn, where benches and hay bales had been set up for viewing the menswear show that would include western attire from Allen’s Boots — as far as I know, a Style Week first.
Jennifer Nash and Sara Facundo
As always, the Tribeza magazine leaders proved the souls of professionalism. If the rooms inside the hall got a little frat-ish on bourbon and vodka, the folks on the lawn kept their cool in the relative cool temps of the post-storm calm.
Peter Zavadil and Penny Arth
The show was short, slender and slick, filled out by the essential young Austin men’s boutique, Service Menswear. I liked what I saw, even if, this time out, nothing would fit a normal man in his 50s. The conversation remained buoyant, however, and that’s why I was there.

Food for Thought for Communities in Schools at ACL Live
Communities in Schools is one of those large, established Austin nonprofits that would be easy to take for granted. Its work, though, is essential. It provides resources, especially volunteers, to public schools to keep students engaged and enrolled.
Adam and Amanda Sencenbaugh
The group held its 16th annual Food for Thought benefit on Tuesday at ACL Live. The venue worked splendidly, with the uppermost tier curtained off, eliminating the barn-like feeling one experiences when that level is unused but open. The event, which features culinary tidbits from local chefs, attracted enough patrons to fill the first two levels, the lowest split between tables and rows of seats.
Rob Tonasino and Algela Woods
U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul was the featured speaker, and he graciously recognized the other elected officials in the house, especially Communities in Schools champion State Rep. Elliott Naishtat. I spied State Sen. Kirk Watson, less of a fixture on the social circuit of late, perhaps because of the legislative Session from Hell (so dubbed by both parties), but also because he was working on a concrete, 10-point plan to give Austin a medical school. Nobody is going to argue with that.
Annette Villarreal, Julie Humble and Meitra Farhadi
Spoke with various social leaders, including Dave Shaw of Arsenal Advertising and Public Relations. A promoter of the signally successful restaurant pairing of Congress Austin and Second Bar + Kitchen, Shaw has indeed been everywhere, all the time this year. You can bet he figures highly in the Out & About 500, which debuts in this spot very, very soon.
