The SOLD OUT
Graphic IV Art Bra Fashion Show on Saturday May 22, 7pm-11pm. This auction and fashion show is a major fundraiser for the
Breast Cancer Resource Centers of Texas. It's too late to get tickets, but we think it's amazing that it sold out! This year the event is at the
Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum and News 8 anchor Crestina Chavez and Paramount Theatre's executive director Ken Stein will be the hosts! Watch a video
here about using art bras to raise money.
Don't fret over a sold out event - there is still time to attend
Les Artistes: The Revolution Fashion and Art Show! "The Revolution is a fashion and art event. This is not just another fashion show or art show. It is an event that gives the artists the freedom to express themselves through their art and display it according to their particular vision." Tickets are $8
in advance, or $10 at the door. Takes place on Saturday, May 22, from 8pm to close at
The Scoot Inn (

After all that running around - couldn't you use some cake for nourishment? How about the new
Cake Jar? It's the cake you eat with a spoon, and out of a jar (it's another great dessert from the
Cake Plate)! Available in different flavors such as Lemon Drop, Peanut Butter Chocolate Bomb or Austin Cream Pie, the Cake Jar has a flavor for everyone! You can order online or find them at Austin Java or Mangia Pizza.
