    This thing is for real, dicks. Finally!

    Austin’s past (Orlando FC) and future (CBus) playing their last game against each other tonight.

    Tonight’s public info session at the library featured the same people, including me, saying the same shit they’ve said at five other meetings. What a valuable use of taxpayer funds.
  4. Troxy announced that there’s a mystery candidate who will file soon that shares her political ideology.
  5. Wait, is this 50 post to NSAA real? Because I feel like I have a lot more than that and no NSAA. But I'm also not good at reading directions.

    ANOTHER public input session scheduled for McKalla. This time, at the Central Library on the evening of July 19. It’s almost like someone is intentionally trying to wear out the supporters. At least this one won’t go until 4 a.m.
  7. I believe it’s a Tom Petty cover band in Dallas featuring some local radio personalities.
  8. This is not good. No business is ever going to get done in this city with another tree hugger on the dais.

    You gotta be known for something. I will not back down in the face of antimasturbatorism.

    Brandywine developer now out in favor of MLS2ATX. Finally read the ABJ story about the council vote, and I’m quoted in it, so that makes the whole “staying until almost 4 a.m.” thing worthwhile.

  12. Posted about this guy in the soccer thread, but he has a solid platform of: - Building a dome over the city to keep Californians out - Giving APD flamethrowers I’m normally pretty Bernardy when it comes to police issues, but if our civil rights are going to be violated, it should be in spectacular fashion.

    83% of testimony in favor, which mirrors the last poll PSV did. City folks I know seem to think we were good. When did you register? I was there from 5 pm on, except for a couple hours in the bar at the W with a couple other MLS 2 supporters, an insurance agent buddy, city lobbyists, a local TV personality, and the pedicab driver guy who's running on a platform of putting a dome over the city to keep Californians out and also giving APD flame throwers. He testified against it, but that guy is crazy enough that I love him. Looks like he tweeted this right after we left.

    Except that city staff can fully evaluate all bids. So the Epstein bid can be seen as the fugazi it really is.

    What a long night. Had my 60 seconds on the mic some time after 3.

    It’s happening!!!!! Quite the roller coaster since October.
  17. Are we not allowed to have demographic profiles of our consumers any more?

    Yeah, that math is patently absurd. It’s almost like COTA knows that a real pro soccer team and an outdoor music venue in the middle of town would be a serious blow to COTA. Serious enough to AstroTurf some local opposition. In the end, overwhelming positive response from the populace will carry the day.
  19. Newell's Old Boys and Scunthorpe United have always been my two favorite.

    She and Alter are the worst. And unbeatable in low turnout races like City Council.

    Thursday is the big day gang. Positive sounding comments from Flannigan earlier this week about the proposal. It’s time to ignore the folks who never want to get anything done, ever and make a thing happen.
  22. That’s how I roll. Why would someone do it any other way?

    I think it’s super interesting that Code NEXT and MLS both have 4-4 voting blocs but they aren’t the same. For both - Adler, Renteria, Garza For Code NEXT/anti MLS - Troxclair For MLS/anti Code NEXT - Tovo For Code NEXT/? MLS - Flannigan, Casar ?? Both - Kitchen Anti both - Alter, Pool, Houston I think Casar is good (b/c PSV will deal with Workers Defense Fund which is his base) and ultimately Flannigan is pro-business. Which is good, because we don’t want to leave this in the hands of Surly’s favorite taxi cab advocate. A mayor with more political will could twist some arms and make both of these deals happen.

    It comes down to Flannigan, Kitchen, Casar just like it did before today. Could be a long night on the 28th. I’m planning to sign up to speak in favor.
