The night of Gagarazzi, anyone could show up and do the “outside of the curtains” activities, which included the photobooth (this post is pictures from there), the unique Gaga themed drink specials, the free testing by AIDS Service of Austin, and more. We were shocked to have more than 3 times the capacity of The Highball show up wanting to attend. We were saddened we couldn’t hold that many, to give them the experience, or to raise the money for Equality Texas, but such is life. Also a shout out to The Highball, who not only gave us the venue for free without any cost at all, providing lights, sound, even helping with the event in many ways. They invited us back after breaking their bar sales record before 10pm! We raised money for a good cause, but it’s really nice to know that the venue that did a good deed by donating their space and time made some good business too. Tomorrow will be the last Gagarazzi post, with pictures from the event. See you then!

A year ago this weekend, my husband, best friend, partner-in-crime, my heart and soul, my love, my man, my person - died suddenly. In seconds I lost him, my home, my life as I knew it. I had no idea my days would become so dark, my heart would become so lonely, and I would become so displaced. Thank you to everyone who believed in me, who supported me, who was patient with me, who forgave me, who understood me, who lifted me up and cared for me. Because of it, I am resilient. This past year, I am astounded by how I’ve grown, and what I was able to do, because of the extraordinary strength of love. I can see clearly now, how much light exists in the darkness. Today, I’m in love with an incredible man, I’m feeling hope, I’m excited about the future, and I’m grateful for the 12 years that were such a privilege with Jason Musick. And this last year I; -Starred as burlesque legend Candy Barr in a musical -Performed at the Country Musical Hall of Fame exhibit opening -Performed at the Legendary Bluebird Cafe -Went on tour with the Jigglewatts -Presented an award at the Ameripolitans with Big Sandy -Was the opening band for Viva Las Vegas -Learned to play rhythm guitar -Played the Blues Cruise as a songwriter -Joined a new band “Hollywood Revue” Sang on the Mr. Lewis Record -Performed all over the US -Played the Lonestar Roundup -Played every single gig he and I ever played together, without him by my side -Did a photoshoot about the exquisite pain of grief -Did a photoshoot about the power of grief and darkness -Headlined shows -Wrote an entire album -Performed at Tiki Oasis -Opened for James Hunter Six -Was nominated for a Best Actress Award -Placed my parents’ legacy in the Country Music Hall of Fame Above all, I kept going, moving forward always because we loved each other so much, I knew I owed it to us. I owed it to Jason, our marriage, our family, our friends to demonstrate that love is limitless and profoundly strong, even in death. Thank you, my stardust friends, for not only keeping my afloat, but for helping me set sail. Love, Jolie via Instagram https://ift.tt/2O1WYZ3
