(Community Matters) The Austonian was hopping last night with guests celebrating its opening. Terry Mitchell (the building’s developer) tells me residents will start moving in this June.
Zac, Luke & Terry
The views are spectacular and the amenities unprecedented in Austin.
Zac Gambill (Steven’s cousin who moved to Austin on Thursday & is living with us for a while), Luke Hayes and I enjoyed their hospitality on floors 54, 55 & 56. Caught up a bit with Terry Mitchell, David Mahn, Lori Hawkins, Kathy Warbelow, Tim Young, Christi Cueller, Michael Barnes, Armando Zambrano, Bryan Gardner – kissed & waved at a whole bunch of others. Best gimmie gift since the internet days & Tiffany key chains – itty bitty bottles of Patron Tequilla Michael Barnes’ Out & About
Interesting juxtaposition to have the dire situation of HelpHaiti in one post and the opulence of the soon-to-open Austonian here in Austin in the next post. That is going to make me ponder the huge gulfs in our cultural and social divisions.
