The Rat Pack Rocked the Hobby Center Again!

Well, sort of. Momentum Audi, CultureMap, DISH-Houston and a few other really awesome companies sponsored the 4th annual Casino Night benefitting Houston's Health Museum.

The people who actually put the event together with their own sweat and tears however are Health Museum president Jon Iszard, auction chairs Maidie Ryan and Drew Wilson and honorary chair Jared Lang.

The music was swinging the the dice were rolling and Houston's social scene was kicked off with a bang at the Hobby Center. Everyone for the most part wore "Casino Chic" however this year we had one standout in the crowd... Bellaire City Councilman Corbett Parker who broke the mold by hanging out in red pajamas, white robe and shades, unlit cigar in hand. HYSTERICAL!!!

There were some serious poker players in the mix of the fun night on the 4th floor with an extra $100 but that didn't stop the fun downstairs. THe Health Museum really knows how to throw a party with blackjack, craps and the aforementioned poker, high stakes and regular (the high-roller Texas Hold 'Em tournament chaired by Eva Farha. Shawn O'Brien was the first place winner).

It was preceeded with the VIP cocktail Hour in the private room at Artista. The gaming tables surrounded the silent auction where DISH'S very handsome and gracious date bought her the gold and peridot earrings from J.Silver.

Of course with the event at the Hobby Center, the food had to be by the best in town Cordua Catering!

Seen on the Scene:  Uchenna Agu, Lara Bell, Lori Freese, Dustin Palmer, Dr. Roland Maldonado and Joel Bickley, Nick Phillips, Shelby Hodge, Nick Espinosa.
