Missing in Action!
We wish we could say we were holidaying on the Cote d'Azur or enjoying the onset of autumn in Cape Town, but nope, last week's missing "Public Notice" had nothing to do with glamour or relaxation, it had to do with sheer boneheadedness -- of the innocent and entirely understandable variety, mind you, but boneheadedness, nonetheless. And this time it wasn't ours! Seems that the Tech Week supplement insert in last week's issue also had a page 18 and the entire flat carrying it got printed twice: once in its proper center section and once more in place of our page 18. All of this was a total drag, especially in light of the first notice which announced the Gay Prom at the Forum hosted by last week's cover gal Kelly Kline. Oh well, better luck this time-- 454-5766x129.
Make Way for Dessert!
Another problem with last week's PN in absentia, is that now you only have two days to prepare to gorge for a good cause. We really wanted to give you a full week's "fork's up" to give your plenty of time to skip dessert to make room for this week's A Chocolate Fantasy & Fine Art Auction Sat, Feb 26, 8:30-midnight at the Texas Federation of Women's Club, San Gabriel & 24th in West Campus. This chocoholic's best nightmare will benefit the Waterloo Counseling Center. Here's the sweet story: Over a dozen of Austin's finest purveyors of that cocoa devil, including Dr. Chocolate, Mars, Granite, Ultimate Cheesecake, and more, along with donators of fine wines and champagnes and premium coffee drinks will offer the sinful treats while guests peruse the offerings in the Silent Auction and hope upon hope that their number is called in the grand prize drawing for two tix to Vegas, among other high end gifties. Advanced, discounted tix ($25) are available at Book Woman, Sparks, and Waterloo Counseling; of course, tickets may be purchased at the door ($30). 419-7526.
Babes Out the Yin-Yang ...
Whoa! Check this out! It's one woman right after another (ouch, we know players like that --) here at ol' "Public Notice." Yep, they're just lining up. This week is loaded with woman-centric events and benefits, and believe us, we don't schedule the derned things, we just report 'em.
Culture Club
We think we've quoted this Snakefinger quote many times already in this column, but as far as we're concerned, one can never get too much Snakefinger, and this is a manifesto that more people should strive to live by: "Ignorance of your culture is not considered to be cool." Period. Sometimes benefits benefit cultural concerns. And here are three of them this week!
