ADL Torch of Liberty Dinner

(Community Matters) TOL production meeting today with Shelley Zausmer, Steve Adler, Amanda Chiampi, Michael Feferman, Dave Shaw, Marcia Levy, Amy & Kirk Rudy, Martin Cominsky and Stacey Fields.  We have the best production team.  Can’t wait for the event on Jan 28 at the Four Seasons – even if we have oversold and some of us will be sitting in the foyer.  Hey, my table will be out there with you!

Tana Christie’s Birthday

(Community Matters) What gay man doesn’t want to be Tana Christie in his next life?  She’s one of my dearest friends and an extraordinary member of our community.  Michael Mitchell makes her laugh.  Her grandchildren make her smile.  Her children make her proud.  Joe Christie makes her happy.

and, she’s made Austin a better place to be

(and, I know, I kinda make her crazy.  She hates being on here – too bad!)
