March 9: The Week’s Most Interesting Gatherings

Scottie Pippen plays basketball inside a Manhattan auction house, and Elton John hosts an Oscars viewing party with a better crowd than the actual awards

I’m trying something new: every Monday for my paid subscribers I’m sharing, “The Week’s Most Interesting Gatherings,” a short list of intriguing parties, openings, and meetups happening around the world.

This week’s lineup includes Scottie Pippen playing basketball inside an auction house in Manhattan, Elton John hosting an Oscars viewing party, Serena Williams talking health innovation in Austin, and a hometown New York City band kicking off a tour (if you want to meet the city’s best people you must go.)

If I missed something fun, send it my way. And don’t forget to vote in the poll at the bottom about which event you’d most want to attend.
