NSIDE Magazine “Gets Inside” The World Famous Driskill Hotel

Friday, July 16th, 2010

NSIDE Magazine is building a reputation for hosting amazing Issue Release Events with a strong platform for professional networking.  NSIDE, based in San Antonio with a new presence in Austin, is one of the fastest growing professional publications covering local business in central Texas.  Publisher Mr. Eliot Garza and Co-Publisher Ms. Sara Dunne are building, and will certainly maintain, a successful publication because they recognize plenty of exciting people are found in central Texas doing plenty exciting things worth reporting. 

They also know a key ingredient to staying in tune with the business and professional world at large and that is to bring great minds together in a stress less environment, vibrant atmosphere with all the trimmings.  We’ve had the pleasure of attending several Events hosted in Austin at the popular Paggi House, Maggiano’s Little Italy in The Domain and the most recent at the historic Driskill Hotel in downtown Austin. 

The Event held Monday, July 12th at the Driskill Hotel honoring Texas Gubernatorial Candidate Mr. Bill White provided a stylish backdrop for networking and socializing.  Notable guests included Ms. Connie Bakonyi, Founder of Austin Fashion Association, Ms. Sloan Foster, Vice President of Marketing for HBMG, Mr. Randy Umlah, Proprietor of Cool River Café, Ashley M. Hunter, President HM Risk Group and Mr. Ricardo G. Lerma, Banker with Regions Bank.  Having opportunities to network in a comfortable atmosphere with pundits from various industries is what makes NSIDE Magazine Events worth their weight in gold.  Deals are being made, opportunities are being created and strong relationships are being created.  NSIDE Magazine is helping to bring back the humanistic aspect of what it is to being human; this accomplishment is surely over and beyond the original intent of the monthly Events.

For this Event, Ms. Dunne wanted to add another exciting and memorable element and turned to Mr. William Jackson of W. Jackson & Associates, LLC to provide that element; which was musical entertainment.  Ms. Courtney Sanchez, The C Note as she is often referred, provided just the right touch of musical softness and elegance.  Ms. Sanchez, accompanied by well-known pianist Mr. Thomas Hughes, sang like a Song Bird.  She floated from standards such as the George Gershwin classic Summertime to If I Ain’t Got You by the amazing Ms. Alicia Keys, as if she were on a magic carpet.  Guests welcomed the opportunity to network, enjoy tasty appetizers and beverages and at the same time be lifted away by The C Note to an unexpected musical summit not soon to be forgotten.   Many commented on how much the extra touch of entertainment added to the thrill of the Event.  Winning call Sara Dunne!  Kudos to Mr. Beau Curtis, Senior Producer with ATX Event Systems for ensuring the sound system rocked!  

If you haven’t had the opportunity to read NSIDE Magazine you need to do so.  Anyone who wants to stay current with the business climate in central Texas to be better informed and ahead of the game does well to get inside with NSIDE Magazine.    We know you’ll be at the next Issue Release Event so stay tuned with NSIDE Magazine for all the exclusive details.   

Your next opportunity to Experience The C Note is Sunday, July 18th at the Belmont in Downtown Austin as she welcomes Mr. Kenny Williams of Zach Scott Theatre Fame.  Ms. Sanchez and Mr. Williams will perform everything from Jill Scott, Chaka Khan and John Mayer and you’re presence is warmly requested.  The Performance is scheduled from 6-8PM and will be complemented by Happy Hour Menu prices from 3PM to Close.
