XL'S FORTUNATE 500: THE 2007 EDITION
Meet some movers and shakers who are changing Austin
Whether it's politics, music, educating our kids or making great food, these are the people out there doing it

Change is good.

Except, it seems, in Austin. We're not big on it here. We like to Keep Austin Weird. Save Our Springs. Don't Mess With Texas. In other words: Keep things the way they are.

But like it or not, change is inevitable — and our thirdannual XL Fortunate 500 list is a study in just that. Like the social superstars it profiles, the list is in constant motion.

Since the 500 debuted three years ago, Austin's social climate has changed, too, having shaken off the pallor of the dot-com bust and the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, and emerging with a sparkling new vibrancy. There are more events now. Shiny new faces. Looser purse strings.

But one thing that hasn't changed is the criteria for making the list: You still have to be one of Austin's social dynamos. You have to be out on the town. All the time. Schmoozing, boozing, lollapaloozing ... whatever it is you do to keep our town percolating. You don't have to be rich or famous — not that we mind — you just have to be dedicated to your cause. Whether it's politics, music, education or cuisine, you have to be one of its best cheerleaders. We're talking high-voltage, high-profile folks. Austin movers-and-shakers to the nth degree.

For those uninitiated with our XL Fortunate 500 list, it works like this: During the course of a year, we collect the names of Austin's top social citizens. The nominations come from a composite of resources, both inside and outside the newsroom, including readers who made suggestions through our online nomination form. Anyone is eligible, except forAmerican-Statesman employees and contract workers and members of their immediate families.

Because our town is so chock-full of eligible nominees, we're always left with the auspicious yet arduous task of whittling it down to 500 social units. Once that's done, the roster is divided into a dozen distinguishing categories — sports, arts, business, et al — with each nominee slotted under the heading that best recognizes their area of influence. Those who equally straddle several categories fall under the esteemed All-Star heading.

It's an impressive club whose membership changes annually. Social tides ebb and flow. Some nominees have held anchor all three years, and others have drifted out of the social limelight. Some have changed course, closing businesses or starting new ones. Some have married,and others divorced. Some, sadly, have moved or passed away.

Andy Warhol (who surely would've made our list if he'd ever lived in Austin) once said, "They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself." Well, these 500 folks are doing just that: changing Austin's social landscape with their dedication and drive. And when you look at it that way, what's really so wrong with a little change?

In addition to the writers and photographers credited in these pages, the Fortunate 500 was compiled with help from editorial assistants Lauren Dimitry, Angela Grayson and Shannon McGarvey.
