1. Tim - (NASG Organizer) I'm originally from Chicago but I moved to Austin as quick as I could. One of my many hobbies is cooking and one of my Asian specialties is sushi. I learn the art of sushi under the tutelage of Master Chef (Itamae) Kuniomi Mukaiyama. The date I have lined up for the top bidder is a Roll Your Own Sushi Lesson and Dinner. Not only will you enjoy a sushi dinner but you will also learn the art of making sushi. You will also receive some of the basic supplies to make it on your own to take home with you.

I now work part-time job as prop-man w/ Austin Lyric Opera. I enjoy travel, happy hour, sports cars, being teased. For our date I will whisk you away to the cool azure waters of fabled Lake Austin. Renowned for it's steep cliffs and lush foliage, you will glide the waters upon a jet ski. Opulent palaces abound, tributes to the imagination, perseverance and decadence that is Austin. This is the playground of noble businessmen and renowned entertainers. We will dock at one of the eating establishments along the Lake for a gastronomic pleasure or two.
5. James - (NASG Organizer) I am a system analyst degrees in math and computer science, and spend way too much time in front of a computer during the day, so at night I love to get out and see movies and try out new restaurants, and have new experiences.

The Blind Cafe is hosting an event where you eat a chef prepared meal in total darkness, served by blind waitstaff, with a concert of original music performed as well. - A night you will never forget or SEE. |
