There’s something chic about the parties in old movies. The women wore gloves and held long skinny cigarettes, and the men traded perfectly timed jokes over highballs.

Step back in time on Wednesday, October 1, at a classic mid-century cocktail party. Martini Madness!, co-chaired by our very own Libby Cagle, raises funds for the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft. Your $40 ticket buys a one-of-a-kind glass you can fill up all night with Tito’s bottomless martinis, and then take home for your next “mixer.”� So put on your best Mad Men attire – think funky fedoras and smashing sheaths. Sway to retro-lounge sounds, sample mod munchies from Max’s Wine Dive and take in some of the freshest art in town.

It may not be in black and white, but this swinging soiree is one for the ages.
