    Debuted this one in January.

    Will be @ 10:30 am. Planning to throw a rager that night to celebrate.
  3. I did love the city getting the jump on the county with the tax increase. Because the Expo Center is a shithole that should be no more.
  4. HOT revenue can’t be used for any of that. There’s a specific list of things you can do with it. After losing twice last year, I’m really hoping that losing twice again this year will convince people to stop giving money to Bunch/Lewis/Linder/ANC/etc.

    One year ago today, there was a city council vote. And then we threw a rager at Haymaker that started right about now.

    There's also a grackle in the artwork at the experience center, which makes me happy.

    I just happy that I now know @Pasken's reddit user name.
  8. I think there’s a good chance Flannigan runs. He has pretty good relationships in the business community, but not enough that someone else couldn’t solidify that base.

    Strong eyebrow game.
  10. KVUE doing a great job of sensationalizing every encounter to drive up hatred of the homeless. They’re doing the same things they’ve always done. The media just sees an opportunity to sell a few ad clicks now. And fuck a bunch of Mayor Kitchen. That would be the worst. Really hoping Jimmy or someone out of the business community is the next mayor.

    Yep. I think they are just selling super premium club/suite tickets right now. Call was basically to figure out where my interest was. Seems like they are doing it in phases starting with the most expensive tickets first.

    Sure. Don’t know how that relates to the percentage of ticket deposits who convert to actual tickets.

    Atlanta converted 22,000 of the 31,000 deposits they got in the first few months.

    I'd expect Austin to be quite a bit more than FC Dallas per ticket.

    Agree with this expectation on SG tickets.
  16. Anyone else going to BD Riley’s? I’ll be there with my 10 YO. Should be a scene.

    Lol. Save the Crew with all the Twitter bitching. It’s time to move on. Austin Anthem launched a New Braunfels chapter today. Growing the legend to the south.
  18. Crowd is stronger than I expected. Broadcast quality is shit. Love the chants of “WE CAN’T HEAR YOU” from the traveling San Antonio fans to the alleged Bold supporters section.
  19. I still can’t believe how Bobby alienated the soccer community and continues to do so. There are a bunch of us who would love to be part of the “sellout” crowd tonight but won’t be attending any games because of his approach.
  20. Sorry about that. Would guess 50-70 that weren’t from the team. Not sure how many of them were Seton or Hispanic Chamber people. Guessing quite a few. Not many random interested spectators. They are definitely going hard for Hispanic market. Makes sense given location. Didn’t learn too much. Speeches were uninspiring. Bobby was even more boring than usual. Announced community benefit was a portion of ticket sales going to Dell Childens, which was a bit interesting considering that Seton is kit sponsor. It’s like they are writing a check back to themselves. Crowd tried to chant at the end, but it fizzled big time. Kit does look nice.
  21. Lotta MLS talk on Austin Anthem takeover of the Throw In this morning.
  22. I’ll write something up and take pics. May surprise a couple local reporters.
  23. Judging from ticket sales, that should be plenty. Going to their kit launch at Seton on Tuesday morning out of morbid curiosity.
