Obviously, there’s the Lone Star International Film Festival, which my colleagues have been covering nicely thus far.

In addition, there’s going to be a big party Saturday evening at The Carillion Group’s latest historic building redevelopment, the Sawyer Grocery Buildings at 201 South Main (corner of South Main & East Daggett). The party’s a four-in-one affair: a grand opening for the Sawyer Grocery Buildings, an appreciation of Wachovia which financed the project, a going-away party for Daniel Carey of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Fort Worth office, and a tenant party for residents of all the properties restored by the Carillion Group (which would be the Markeen Apartments, the Leuda-May Apartments, the LaSalle Apartments, and now the Sawyer Grocery apartments).

Three musical acts will be performing - Tom Reynolds & the Jazz Explosion at 5:00 PM, Ginny Mac at 7:00 PM, and Banjo Bossa Nova & the Leuda May All-Stars at 9:00 PM. Rahr beer will be flowing and Brad Henserling of The Chat Room and (eventually) The Usual will be on hand mixing up the Prohibition-era cocktails he’ll be serving up when The Usual opens at last on Magnolia.

So, Saturday, November 15th, from 5:00 PM until “late,” stop by 201 South Main in the Near Southside for what’s sure to be a heck of a party.

Big news this week is that today’s Modern ’til Midnight at, naturally, the Modern Art Museum. 6:00 PM to midnight. I’ll be there - and I recommend that you come as well. Modern ’til Midnight is always great.

Also, for the metalheads out there, local rockers No Scope (my friend Bobby being one of the guitarists) are having a release party for their new album, Hindsight 2012, at the Ridglea Theater on Friday.
