SO. I've been thinking a lot lately about the suffix "-preneur," as in "entrepreneur," "mommy-preneur," "teen-preneur," etc. I know, who thinks of these things? I'll tell you: publicists. That's right. MY ILK.
Anyway, I am constantly in awe of people who take their dreams and put the ol' "preneur" gloss on them. Let me give you an example. About a month ago, I met a guy at Whole Foods who worked at the capital for over 20 years. Then one day, as he was leaving work, he said to himself: "You know what? I want to wash dogs." And that is what he did. Quit his very secure, very benefits-laden job working for the state, and opened up shop out of his garage as a dog groomer. Which he does now, full-time. Lucky bastard? Kind of. But mostly: Ballsy bastard.
The first time I told a friend about Learning Secrets, I believe the phrase "living the dream" was included in that sentence. That is because they are - stay with me now - party-preneurs. And, lest you think this is a risky business, go ahead and laugh yourself right back to your cubicle, because Learning Secrets is about to turn six!
On Friday, January 22, Learning Secrets is having a six-year-old birthday party at Beauty Bar. These are the same people who booked Phoenix for a little DJ set at Beauty Bar last Fall, y'all (<---rhyming, I gots it!), so you know they're going to do this thing right.
the skinny:
Musical guests Classixx and Woolfy
A hot-spot booth by Clear (fancy)
Photo booth by Alison Narro
Red Bull Music Academy will record and broadcast the whole thing. That's right, world - hide your khakis! Austin hipness is hitting the airwaves!
Tickets are $5 with RSVP / $8 without
Also. Are you listening, high rollers? Because a teensy amount of VIP passes are available for $30. These passes include personalized, signed white pleather pants from Lady Gaga. Not really but you should still consider it: email info@learningsecretsmusic.com to inquire/buy.
Happy birthday, Learning Secrets!
