The Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival (aGLIFF) held their annual fundraiser. This year it was the main party celebrating the Academy Awards night at the reknown Driskell Hotel in downtown Austin. The evening was a lavish reception and dinner with their own red carpet hosted by the hilarious Rebecca Havemeyer and Mocha Jean Herrup. Included was a costume contest sponsored by the Austin Costuming Guild. Attendees were encouraged to come dressed as a charcter from film. And a number of people did just that with verve.
