TEXAS MONTHLY has the proof: Republicans and Democrats can get along. More than three hundred legislators, staffers, consultants, and political writers filled Austin's historic Scholz Garten for the magazine's first-ever legislative kick-off party. Guests enjoyed appetizers and sipped Shiner beer as they mixed and mingled (and maybe cut a deal or two). And Evan Smith, the president and editor in chief of TEXAS MONTHLY, announced the launch of the magazine's mobile site: http://m.texasmonthly.com. Now readers can enjoy instant blog updates from Evan, Paul Burka, and Eileen Smith.

If it happens at the Capitol, you can find it at TEXAS MONTHLY.
