Festival in Houston - BTS Dinner

Dinner at Eight in the glass room at Spencer's Steakhouse in the Hilton Americas.  Beautiful table in a private room. Friday, November 5, 2010.  A lovely evening with some of the artists that were at Festival.  We missed Jane Davila and Kathy York, who could not come to the dinner, but were at Festival.
