This Thursday is jam-packed with things to do. After an amazing birthday dinner at Olivia, that date and I are headed back Thursday for a patio party with drinks and appetizers celebrating their Bon Appetit Top Ten Best New Restaurants IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY nod. Since I was too busy stuffing my face with mussels, escargot, beet salad, tuna, lamb chop, and amazing chocolate espresso cake and Fireman’s 4 ice cream to take pictures last time (don’t worry, we shared all of these things), perhaps I’ll snag some tomorrow. Or maybe I won’t, and you’ll just have to go to Olivia yourself. It’s worth it.

September Social Tweetup at Submerged
This tweetup features catering from two local steakhouses, NadaMoo ice cream, and LOTS of door prizes like $50 gift certificates at J. Black’s. Yes, parking is a pain in the ass like ANYWHERE downtown, but Submerged is offering WICKED drink specials.
Party starts at 5:30pm but is likely to last well past 8 … we can’t say the same for the food.
Curbside Trailer by Adelante Launch Party
The foodie frenzy has turned fashionista. Check out Adelante boutique’s new traveling trailer shop at 26 Doors Shopping Center (38th & Medical Parkway) and enjoy desserts and cocktails during the launch party. 6-8pm. More details here.
Austin Tidbits Party at Sanctuary today from 6–8 pm. Brave thunderstorms and you will be heartily rewarded…
I don’t think I’ve missed a Tidbits party yet. The people are always fabulous, the gift bags chock-full of goodies you actually want, and the snacks and drinks divine. Why wouldn’t you go?
This round is out in Westlake atSanctuary, 3663 Bee Caves Road (behind Breed & Co.), www.sanctuaryhomebathgarden.com. There will be sushi from Kenobi, vodka drinks by Dripping Springs Vodka, wine from Spicewood Vineyards, and cookies from Tiff’s Treats.

Fat Cat Creations, Tiff’s Treats, Anne Kiel Jewelry, {LD} Design, Krista Marie Designs, Mary Louise Butters Brownies, Tasty Jewelry, Sweet Tooth Bags, Leah Duncan Design
Thursday are perking back up after that nobody-does-anything-at-all lull over the holidays. Next week is going to be even bigger! Still, these two should keep you happy (houring).

It’s for the Hill Country Ride for AIDS, a signature Austin event and the largest fundraiser in Central Texas for people living with HIV/AIDS. Doors open at 7, free food and music, cash bar. Come meet Riders and Donors while kicking it back and enjoying some tunes!
Austin Kidbits Birthday party
Wee, one of my fave stores that I won’t be shopping in for awhile (I’ve pulled products from them several times and LOVE their stuff and staff, but no babies are on my horizon) is hosting the Austin Kidbits birthday party, the stylish mama answer to Austin Tidbits. With cocktails and cupcakes from 6:30-8:30pm, guests will receive a 20 percent discount at Wee and next-door neighbor Finch.
I LOVE Austin Tidbits parties. They’re rare (quarterly?), obviously causing them to be more exciting than Tribeza parties, and they usually have fab gift bags and super-fashiony people, making them way more exciting.
Not that Tribeza parties don’t have fashiony people–and I will say they draw a fair man-crowd, whereas Tidbits men are randoms off the street and boyfriends–but their happy hours seem to be hit or miss. Maiko a few months ago with free sushi? Hit. Random apartment opening? Miss. This Thursday? Boutique. 50/50, leaning toward miss because it’s out in Westlake.
Locale: Downtown, Second Street at Eliza Page
Promises: “Dazzle,” gemstones, drinks, snacks
Time: 7–9pm
vs.
Locale: The Hip Chic (Village at Westlake, Bee Cave at 360)
Promises: exclusive peak into their new digs, models, DJ, food, cocktails
Time: 5:30-9pm
This from Austin Tidbits:
Blow the roof off your typical Thursday happy hour session and stop by Sullivan’s for Swingin’ at Sully’s. From 4:30 – 11 p.m., enjoy $5 bar entrees, half-priced featured martinis, $5 glasses of select wine, complimentary cigars for ladies and the Jumpin’ Jazz Trio.
… I have several questions: is this only today? Only on Thursdays? Or is this all happy hours? Because it sounds like an AMAZING deal, and I’m scheduled to try Primizie tonight or I’d totally be there.
