'Get Together' at a’Bouzy for Madonna Weekend

'Get Together' at a’Bouzy for Madonna Weekend

THE QUEEN OF pop touches down in H-Town for two shows at the Toyota Center on March 28-29 as part of her Celebration Tour. River Oaks hot spot a’Bouzy is getting into the groove with a two-day bash celebrating the material girl.

On the nights of the concerts, a’Bouzy is turning into the pre-concert party HQ with champagne specials, themed dishes, costume contest and fun cocktails all while playing 40 years of Madonna’s hits. The party is 3pm-8:30pm on Thursday and 5pm-8:30pm on Friday.

Food specials start at $7 and include La Isla Bonita Ceviche and Dress You Up Street Tacos. Must-haves include the Preachin’ Papas pomme frites with cheese, bacon, sour cream and chives. (Don’t worry about the calories; you’ll dance it all off at the concert later!)

A’Bouzy’s signature Moet Chandon is on special, and is featured alongside gin and lemon juice in the Erotica cocktail. And who can resist an Espresso Yourself martini?!

The Celebration Tour was originally schedule for October, but postponed to Easter weekend due to a health scare that left Madonna in the hospital last summer. The show features hits from her record-breaking career, her first-ever greatest hits concert.

Leadership in Action: John Kuykendall Traded Newcaster Dream for Success in Luxury Retail

Leadership in Action: John Kuykendall Traded Newcaster Dream for Success in Luxury Retail

John Kuykendall, Showroom Manager, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove

How did you get to where you are today? Growing up I had envisioned myself as a news anchor, living in NY and enthusiastically saying into the camera “Good Morning America!”. To this day, I am still a news/political junkie. My mother owned fur salons so specialty retail, luxury retail was in my blood through the family business. Eventually, mom shuttered the stores and I was recruited to a large specialty retailer. Over the next 30 years, I was in commissioned sales on the sales floor, became a department manager, worked my way up to buyer and store manager. Although I never became a newscaster, I did live in NYC for a few years. But Texas is home and with aging grandparents, I felt the pull to come back to my roots. A headhunter approached me. I never envisioned myself in the high-end appliance market, but there are so many similarities. Clients want a memorable experience; whether shopping for diamonds and fur or remodeling their kitchen.
