W e knew it would be a good night when we spotted the two tuxedo-clad gents with satyr horns and heeled hooves at the va- let. One week after The Menil Collection's luminous 30th anniversary gala, the muse- um's bright young things, some of whom were born the same year as the Menil, gathered for their own fête in the vaunted Renzo Piano-designed Menil Collection. The theme, Surreal Soirée, was inspired by the legendary Surrealist Ball hosted by Baroness Marie-Hélène de Rothschild and her husband, Guy at Chateau de Ferrière, in 1972, where Salvador Dalì designed the costumes and Audrey Hepburn sported a birdcage hat.
