See and Be Scene - October 14th

Two events worth checking out tomorrow (October 14th), and both of these events happen to be helping out worthy causes:

The first one is "Fierce Fest". Fierce fest is going to be taking place from 6 - 9 pm at Lustre Pearl. If you haven't been to Lustre Pearl - it's worth the trip. It's located on 97 Rainey street, right behind the IHOP on Cesar Chavez.
This event is benefiting The SafePlace Women's Shelter. SafePlace has been making Austin a safer and more compassionate place since 1974, and during Fierce Fest happy hour a portion of all drinks purchases at Lustre Pearl will benefit SafePlace.
But never fear - while we may be doing good, there is still fun to be had! Drinking (for a cause!), photobooth (by Trevor Ray Thompson!) and games (thumb wars, arm wrestling and staring contests!) will make sure that fun is to be had by all. Also - Lustre Pearl has free parking and is dog-friendly. So feel free to bring Fido out to join in the fun and games!
Sponsors include: Just Mind (counseling), Tito's Vodka, Makers Mark, Trevor Ray Photography and Blue Buddah Henna Tattoo's.


The second event, you ask?


Also letting us help out the less fortunate (while having a great time) is: Art From the Streets Preview Party. At Canvas Bar from 6 - 9 pm on October 14th, you can check out inspiring art from some of the local Austin homeless. Canvas Bar is located at 105 E. 5th St. While I'm not sure if the art can actually be purchased at this event, it gives you a chance to see what will be featured at the 2009 AFTS Show and Sale on November 14th & 15th. (More about that at a later time...). This is a particularly amazing event, and all proceeds from the sale go directly to the artist! Check out the AFTS website for more details. Bonus: DJ Grey will be providing music for the event! Even if you're planning on going to Fierce Fest (as I am) try to stop by Canvas Bar even if just for a few minutes to see some gallery worthy art.

So - sounds like an exciting Wednesday so far! While I'm sure there are a million other amazing events going on in this wonderful city - let us know if there are any worthy of being mentioned in A.P.E...

Here's to a wonderful Tuesday night, and an fun tomorrow!
