Last Thursday night we had the pleasure of participating in the National Association of Catering Executive's (Austin Chapter) yearly fundraiser... Eat The Heat. Through the efforts of dozens of local event companies, caterers, djs, photographers, bands, local venues, and fabulous local chefs, NACE was able to raise thousands of dollars to help support local charities in Austin.
It was a blast! We all celebrated the 102 degree temperature of the day with fabulous food and drinks, great music, and wonderful friends. Maggie Mae's had a brand new event space and Buffalo Billiards created delicious authentic African cuisine to tantalize our taste buds. The Blue Lights played at Maggie Mae's and did a terrific job! Wow! What great sound! Tons of people even showed up from San Antonio to support the charities, and at The Omni, the local chefs put out a spread you wouldn't have believed.
We even took greenscreen photographs and put people on an African Safari background. Pretty Funny!
I was on the silent auction committee, so I got to help grab up the silent auction sheets just as time ran out. It was so much fun. There were people all huddled around the papers up until the final seconds waiting to quickly put in their last bid before it closed. It was really cool, and all for a great cause.
If you weren't able to attend this year, make sure you come out for Eat The Heat next year. It's going to be fabulous... as always!
