Under the Big Top: Academy Awards Night Gala

One of the city’s biggest, glammest bashes kicks off early Sunday evening, just as the celebs are hitting the red carpet down in L.A. This centerpiece event directly benefits a wide array of worthy HIV/AIDS prevention and care organizations. Boasting a lavish evening of food and drinks, courtesy of Serpentine, Bluestem Brasserie, The Alembic and many more Bay Area hot spots, guests also enjoy ogling each other as the city’s luminaries step out in their flashiest Fashion Police-repellant finery.
