Adam Levine, Superyachts & More: Galveston's Biggest Mardi Gras Bash Ever

TEXANS WERE READY to party Mardi in 2022. The Fertitta family’s 25th annual San Luis Salute was its most-attended ever, with 2,000 tickets purchased within just a couple hours — and that was before the announcement that Maroon 5 would be giving a private, hour-long performance at the gala.

The San Luis Salute kicked off with a pre-party on the pier where Tilman Feritta’s new superyacht is docked. Black-tie-clad VIPs sipped Veuve and Adam Levine’s tequila, Calirosa.

Under a chandelier-bedecked tent before making their way to the Galveston Island Convention Center for the main event.

The evening was French-kissed, with a “Cabaret in Paris” theme carried out by Richard Flowers and the Events Co.: Cocktail hour took place among an arrangement made to look like a Parisian street café, all set to a soundtrack of “La Vie en Rose.” And dinner — filet mignon au poivre, gruyere mashed potatoes — was preceded by a mouthwatering charcuterie spread, of course.

Then came the true crowd-pleaser: Maroon 5 took the stage for a full hour, cranking out hit after hit as revelers packed the dance floor.

Spotted at the Salute: Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Neil and Maria Bush, UH’s Renu Khator, Dancie Ware, Frances Moody Buzbee and the whole Fertitta fam.

With New Concept Album, Jacob Hilton Processes Mental-Health Struggles

Dakota Garrett

Jacob Hilton, a.k.a. Travid Halton, at home in his kitchen, where he enjoys cooking as a form of therapy.

PINK FLOYD'S THE Wall. Sinatra’s In the Wee Small Hours. Beyonce’s Lemonade. Three divergent examples of the album as a cathartic, psychological, conceptual work, meant to be experienced in a single sitting. Houston singer-songwriter Jacob Hilton, 37, who records as Travid Halton, a portmanteau of his mother and father’s names, might balk at being mentioned in such company. (This is a thoroughly unpretentious man, who describes himself as an “archaeologist turned singer-songwriter.”)

Leadership in Action: ‘Family, Community and Spiritual Connection’ Drives Success for Henry Richardson

Al Torres

How did you get to where you are today? The present moment is a combined history of my family, my time as an athlete, my passion for learning, and my desire to see the world be better. I grew up as a successful springboard and platform diver, however, an injury caused me to seek alternative treatments to heal my body. In that process, I discovered the power of yoga, exercise, meditation, mindset, and nutrition. This holistic approach eventually led me to open a Pilates and cycling studio called DEFINE body & mind. I opened studios around the nation, and after selling most of my business between 2017-2019, I was ready to explore how I could make an even greater impact on the wellbeing of our community. In 2023, I started actively working on a brand new multi-family/apartment concept called, Define Living. The idea focused on offering health and wellness services within a beautiful apartment setting to increase the wellbeing of our residents. Having a strong sense of community is the number one factor in living a happy life, so why not build a community where daily fitness, cooking classes, and social connection are the norm? We opened Define Living in March of 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how things are being received. We are already looking at building more concepts like this in the Houston area and beyond.
