"  Remember when Thursday was the new Friday? When it seemed second-rate to have an event on a weekend?  Now, it seems Sunday could be the new Thursday. You&amp;#039;re still throwing caution to the wind by imbibing cocktails on a school night. Event planners still have to take into consideration that attendees may have early morning commutes and kids to send off to school in the morning. But a series of events in the past few weeks indicate that Sunday could be horning in on everyone&amp;#039;s favorite cocktail night of week.  In the past two weeks, just on Sunday, the Met Opera gala opening was held with a cocktail reception on the Mercedes T. Bass Grand Tier, and a black-tie dinner honoring Howard Soloman and Sarah Billinghurst Soloman. The Cancer Research Institute&amp;#039;s Through the Kitchen Benefit was held at the Four Seasons Restaurant, with guests Jamee and Peter Gregory, Andrew and Ann Tisch, and Dennis Basso. And just this Sunday, a crowd traveled far and wide (and some not so far) to Pioneer Works in Red Hook for the First Annual Village Fete. The event, held at Pioneer Works Center for Art &amp;amp;amp; Innovation, was hosted by founder and artist Dustin Yellin and chaired by Bob Colacello, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard, Sydie Lansing, Andres and Lauren Santo Domingo, and Liv Tyler. The Fat Radish catered the evening as part of a 3rd Farmer&amp;#039;s Dinner, serving up an entire cow served in numerous ways, for other guests including Naomi Watts, Mike D, Ben Bronfman, Karen Elson, and more.  Thursday may be a night of cocktails and conversation that helps wind down the week, but Sunday helps kick it off. Who says you can&amp;#039;t have both? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
