This was part of the decoration for a party at Ampersand Agency, a creative firm run by some friends of ours. The theme was Creativity, Strategy, Insight. Or...CSI. They had servers in lab coats and safety goggles and decoration like this. Crime scene tape cordoned things off and CSI badges were issued in the lobby. Drinks were being served (various things with -tini on the end) that looked not unlike the stuff in these beakers or something that needed to be examined in the crime lab. I think lava lamps figure in their whole creative thing, too. Observe their WEB page. We stopped by for a brief visit with our friends and other people we knew. Breif because we had to party, party, party. Literally. We wanted to stop by an artist's reception at the offices of two more friends (Ozmun PR and Andrews Urban) and we had a last minute invitation to get 'free' tickets to a benefit for American Youth Works. (The tickets were donated back by someone who bought a table, but, of course, we made a donation to thank our friends who organized the thing so hence the quotes around free!) This last party had Booker T. and the MGs and the place rocked out. AYW was Clifford Antone's charity so his memory was liberally evoked. As FFP and I like to say, all the usual suspects from the young and hip segment of Austin Society were there. After food and a high dollar live auction was conducted, cheaper tickets were sold for the performance itself which brought out Austin's stalwart rock fans.
