So Fly Booker T LAUREN LOGAN Bruce & Gracia Perlstein T he poster-size invitation was the first of many over-thetop impressions that attracted supporters to the Booker T. Washington High School annual performing arts festival and fund-raiser, FlyingHorse II, chaired by Neiman Marcus���s Gabrielle de Papp. Students took center stage at the school���s Montgomery Arts Theater, where they charmed the audience with musical and dance numbers. Guests enjoyed Urban Crust���s wood-fired pizza as The Polyphonic Spree took the night���s wow factor to high levels. For the after-party, patrons headed to The Mason Bar, where they bounced to the beats of Booker T. alum DJ Lowdown Loretta Brown (Erykah Badu) and drank cocktails by mixologist Daniel O���Keefe. In the crowd: Stephen and Carrie Becker, Sheryl and Eric Maas, Molly Byrne, Jacqueline Anderson, Sharon Young, Nina Sachse, Brian Bolke, Catherine Rose and Lainie Krister.
