Rarely does a party surprise me. The Public School Pop Up Shop at Revival Cycles, part of Tribeza Style Week, did. Big time.

It took place at a familiar artist studio complex in a former industrial structure on Bolm Road. Not a surprise. These spaces honeycomb East Austin.

The theme was motorcycles. The works of automotive art, old and new, provided the basic decor. Hipster apparel, accessories and whatnots draped the rest of the space. Food and drink flowed freely, though lines grew longer and longer.

The surprise was the people. This was not your usual Tribeza gathering. Regulars from the design, food, fashion, arts and nightlife scenes attended. Yet other elements spiced the scene.
Some were genuine motorcycle enthusiasts. Others gravitate to the margins of hipster life — bartenders, barbers, shop owners, workers in the idea economy. It was a heady brew.
And a triumph for Style Week, which now competes with dozens of other social attractions in late September.
