We played a gi-normous party at the Argyle, which used to be a giant ranching headquarters but looks like a giant house that Scarlett O'Hara would haunt. The guest of honor was a young woman who'll be crowned as a Duchess at Fiesta, which if you've never been to San Antonio is their high society's version of a private Mardi Gras. It's a big, honkin' deal, and we don't really understand how it works but it means that lots of glamorous parties have to be thrown. Somewhere around 800 people were invited to this one, and there were two bands, us and a 16-piece salsa orchestra who flew in from Miami. They were spectacular. There were tiki huts everywhere, and a huge rowboat filled with flowers hanging over the dance floor.
You never know how people are going to react to Skyrocket!, especially people in formal wear, but in San Antonio nobody stands on ceremony for long. Or high heels either. It was a typical rock and roll throwdown after midnight. Trish had three costume changes and two boys in tuxedos to carry her around during "Material Girl."
The cutest girl at the party was from Victoria, TX and gave a detailed routine about how to work big hair. "I'm from the COAST! Honey, I know how to work the humidity!" She was hilarious. We hope we'll see her again this Friday at Cedar Street.....
