In an effort to meet new, creative people, I went to a mixer hosted by Austin Creative Alliance at Uncorked, a wine bar on east 7th. The group was mostly theater people, but they were expanding their charter to include all kinds of creative media. I met some theater people and talked about the business of producing plays. One of the guys’ next projects was a show based on the concept of childhood and was gathering childhood stories centered around certain themes.

The wine was okay, but then it was the special happy hour wine. I was drinking a Shiraz called “Wooden Nickel” and was fairly accurate.

I also got a recommendation for an allergist, so bonus, I guess.
