Pique-Nique En Blanc: You want me to bring WHAT??

I know, it's a lot to ask.

Bring your table, bring your chair, convince your friend to dress in white. For real?

Yes, for real.

Your participation defines this special evening where Austinites gather together in one of our fair city's most beautiful locations for a magical dinner party. I know how fascinating you are and since everyone brings a friend you are sure to meet someone new and fabulous! And trust me, the Pique-Nique always impresses. Your guest will be so happy you invited him or her.
Please DO RSVP by April 22nd

Don't let the prospect of having to do a little leg-work put you off. Consider that once you figure out what table you'll use, you won't have to go through the exercise next year. And you WILL want to do it again next year.

And did I mention the fabulous prizes for those who are externally motivated? If you really throw down, you could win a major award:

le prix du duc/de la duchesse is given for the best attire

le prix du comte/de la comtesse is given for the best decor

le prix du marquis/de la marquise is given for the best meal

le prix du chevalier/de la chevalière is given for the best newcomer effort!

And of course the award is accompanied by a special surprise!

I mean, you could go all out like these folks.

But really, it's not necessary.

..... But don't let me stop you either!!

Besides, haven't you always wanted to be part of a flash-mob? But one that doesn't require you to dance or sing but rather, do something that we are all good at? Like going to a dinner-party?
And in case you are not motivated by promises of prizes, here are a few more photos to inspire you.
