Guests then proceeded through a custom entry, which was lined with gray dupioni silk covered in abstract contemporary mirrors that sported the Bowie logo in the center. The walkway was lined with flowers and oversized mother of pearl floor lamps, which were also branded with the Bowie logo.

The beautiful entry walls.

A branded, "shattered" mirror.

The walls were lined with geometric mirrored tables with 7-foot-tall contemporary florals spaced throughout.

In the lobby, jazz harpist Rizpah--who has played Carnegie Hall multiple times--greeted guests with a sassy, sophisticated performance that set the upbeat jazzy tone for the evening.

Custom-made wooden slabs with an array of artisan cheeses and fruits served as the Austin juxtaposition to the mirrored glamour.

Chefs explained the nuances of the local cheese andwine pairings. Guests also had the opportunity to sample beer from local breweries, and were asked to pick their favorite “Bowie” under portraits (created by a local artist) of Texas hero Jim Bowie and mega star David Bowie.

Another view.

The future residents proceeded through the lobby towards the elevators.

When the elevator doors opened to the fourth floor, guests were greeted by sexy gold painted Bowie girls with gold guns--representing the modern “Jim Bowie” spirit of Texas.

"These ladies were a huge hit with attendees and proved to be a huge photo opportunity," the WR team says.

Also on Four: a photobooth.

In true “Keep Austin Weird” style, in between the various food stations was a “contemporary art” living hedge wall featuring gloved hands that served a Texas staple: prickly pear margaritas

A closer look.

Butt Sketch artists thrilled guests with their sassy renderings and provided great party favors.

On the 30th floor of the Bowie, guests encountered the communal indoor/outdoor entertainment space for residents.

In the earl evening, the mayor of Austin commissioned the building and gave a speech about the building and its impact in the community

As the sun slowly set, guests watched David Bowie concerts projected onto a six-story blank wall.

At twilight, aerialists descended from the 36th floor to the 30th floor. They performed a custom-created piece and repelled to the music of David Bowie’s “Major Tom.”

There were three performances throughout the night interspersed with video projections on the wall of the David Bowie concerts.

The starry night culminated on the 36th floor, where the view is spectacular. The pool area (which is the highest in Texas) provided the perfect finale.

A liquid nitrogen-infused, gourmet alcoholic ice cream station was an amazing way to end the local Austin “food and gastronomy” tour.
