A little behind the scenes from lecture night ✨
Picked up a Lavender Haze and birria tacos before setting up at one of the prettiest venues we’ve hosted in yet. We also debuted our travel journals, paired with our matchbooks, discussion cards, and postcards for guests to take home.
These small touches are becoming one of my favorite parts of building The Second Course. Go watch the next video to see how the night turned out đź’Ś

POV: your weeknight includes cocktails, journals, and a two-hour conversation about gender roles, tradwife influencers, and AI romcoms🍸
Last night at @simonasatx , Brook Bennett @__thebrightlight led a lecture on “The Second Shift” — the unequal distribution of labor between men and women, especially inside the home. We explored the research behind it, why it still matters, & how it shapes relationships, careers, identity, and everyday life.

Meet our speaker, Brook Bennett đź’Ś
WHO: Brook Bennett — Women Working Overtime: The (Un)equal Distribution of the Second Shift
WHEN: May 12, 2026 at 6:30 PM
Brook Bennett holds degrees in Psychology and Clinical Psychology, with academic research focused on gender norms, body image, and the unequal division of household labor in heterosexual relationships. Her master’s thesis explored why women continue to carry the majority of domestic responsibilities despite working comparable hours to their male partners, and how those inequities shape relationship satisfaction and overall well-being.
Join us for an evening exploring the invisible labor shaping modern relationships, work, and everyday life.

Life is short, but art is forever🍸
Last night, Carlos Cardenas challenged us to rethink value not as something fixed, but as something shaped by context, perception, and time. Through stories from the art market and beyond, we explored the different forms of capital that shape our world & the systems, institutions, and people that influence what lasts.

What do Hello Kitty, Basquiat, and Tiffany & Co. have in common? That was our discussion last night. 🍸
At The Architecture of Value, Carlos Cardenas @vitabrevispod challenged us to rethink value not as something fixed, but as something shaped by context, perception, and time. Through stories from the art market and beyond, we explored the different forms of capital that shape our world & the systems, institutions, and people that influence what lasts.
If you’re interested in continuing the conversation, Carlos encouraged guests to explore Austin’s art ecosystem through spaces like the Blanton Museum of Art, The Contemporary Austin, Big Medium, and Women & Their Work.
