(Community Matters) After Graham Reynolds at Wooldridge Park and after Erection, Julie Thornton & Amy Rudy hosted a very fun after party at Spider House’s US Art Authority (which some might remember from our 2007 Xmas card).
Of course, Julie & Amy went all out, including flying in Los Angeles DJ Eddie Ruscha for the occassion and making sure Perrier Jouet & Patron flowed endlessly.

gotta love the after party food – Spider House known for their frito pies
Shobie & Dean Partos manned the outdoor courtyard FuseBox table
I left around 11:30, intending to return after picking up our house guest, OFA Texas Director Luke Hayes. Alas, he wasn’t home yet. Understand many stayed until the wee hours of 1:30, most in the courtyard.

Cookie Ruiz, Jack McDonald, Carla McDonald & Kirk Rudy
Very excited about the possibilities for Ballet Austin’s The Light Project touring, especially in Israel. It dawned on us all we’ve got to engage our friend Manny Azenberg in this project. Kirk Rudy, Cookie Ruiz, Stephen Mills, Brent Hasty, Steve Adler, Tommy Meredith, Lily Yigal and Abe Foxman already working on this – now I suppose, me & Steven too.
