We don t mean to brag, but CultureMap knows how to party. Just eight weeks after our official launch date, we gathered with more than 700 new friends and fans for a sexy soiree at the historic Hall of State in Fair Park .
After enthusiasts dropped off their cars at the valet, they walked the blue carpet flanked by slick Cadillac sedans toward the grand entrance. Holograms of CultureMap Dallas and Cadillac lit up the Hall of State facade, giving guests a taste of what was to come.
Upon entering, attendees including Sabra Girard , Jim and Vicky White , Jill Magnuson , Chris Quadri , Kimmi Peacock , Kristie Ramirez , Tom Hoitsma , Elaine Raffel , Marie Dean , Stephanie Arbetter , Rachel Fresquez, Marilyn and Scot Miller , Jane McGarry , Jackson , and Merritt Beck joined our team in tasting the creations of some of our city s finest chefs.
Among the tasty morsels: tuna tataki and green papaya free airline ticket salad by Private Social s Tiffany Derry ; kabocha caramel cheesecake bites by Oak s Sarah Green ; curried big eye tuna in curry cones by Spoon s John Tesar ; deviled eggs, pimento cheese tartlets, and ham and cheese tartlets by Sissy s Southern Kitchen s Lisa Garza ; and smoked duck with ham and fig mostarda by The Grape s Brian C. Luscher.
Partygoers posed for the Smilebooth camera stationed outside the swanky, velvet-draped VIP room. Singles, couples and groups snapped pics and shared them via Facebook and Twitter, so the social world was also abuzz about CultureMap that night.
