Just Getting Ink all Over the Place

According to Shelby Hodge's column in today's Chronicle . . .

50 and fab
Gracie and Bob Cavnar threw a candlelight dinner party Monday night to celebrate victory over the cumulative decades for Houston Grand Opera impresario Anthony Freud, celebrating his 50th.
With Halloween as a theme, the couple dressed their high-rise loft in sophisticated spookiness. The 17 costumed and not-so-costumed diners sat down to one immense round table, but not before everyone had oohed and aahed over Lynn Wyatt's glamour witch attire and Franci Crane's high-fashion witch ensemble. Freud and his partner, Colin Ure, arrived in capes and hats but soon shed the costuming as they noted few of the men were playing.

HGO music director Patrick Summers and his partner, David Chambers, carried masks of Freud's face while Frank Hevrdejs, Jim Daniels, Anthony Petrello and Bob Devlin declined the fashion merriment. Those guests as well as Maureen Hackett, Cynthia Petrello and Margaret Williams applauded caterer Jim Manning for his inspired menu. Read for yourself.
