    What happened here? Re: lawsuit.
  2. Google "The Dare TV." Pretty much every TV show ever for free.
  3. I haven’t, but friends of mine have and give it a good report. Missed out on a BMW track day there. Was only $250 for a half day but all the slots were gone by the time I read the email.
  4. I like this idea. I will make the same offer.
  5. Was unclear on the apology. This was an apology from the BP MS 150 people about the failure of COTA.
  6. Although the weather was great, the parks were open, and the overnight camps were festive, we acknowledge that the new finish line presented significant challenges. Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience and frustration. We pride ourselves in providing an outstanding event experience, so we are devastated that the new finish line was not seamlessly executed for our event participants, volunteers, supporters and spectators despite our best efforts. We acknowledge the difficulties you and your team experienced, and your feedback is critical. We want to hear from you and include you in the plans for 2019.

    Pretty good turnout tonight. City staff and MLS2ATX reps presented. Nobody spoke up in opposition. Future meetings on the 3rd, 8th and 10th.
  8. Look dickshits that can’t connect the dots between statements - Amazon in and of itself doesn’t create an unreasonable burden on infrastructure. The fucksticks on Council and city staff do. Hopefully this clarifies my earlier post.
  9. The employment/population increase numbers are overstated because everyone jumps to the 50K at the end. They're not coming all at once. There's no reason we couldn't build the infrastructure to support it based upon the incremental benefits it would bring. Regardless, our do nothing Council has sent a clear message that we are anti-growth, and it has resonated on a national basis. Amazon knows what's up and will respond accordingly.

    First of threeish community input sessions on very short notice tonight @ the Pond from 7-9. Going to try to make some of it.
  11. Southwest used to fly to Midland and it was empty as shit.
  12. I’ve done the last four. I’m going to actually prepare one of these years. Logistic issues were all on COTA for sure.
  13. It’s especially hard if you haven’t ridden more than 20 miles at any point during training.
  14. Handling of the event. Taking an hour plus for people to get in to see their family finish. Over an hour and a half to catch a shuttle w my bike back to the parking lot and the truck pulling the shuttle died most of the way up the hill, so we had to unload and walk the rest of the way. Heard one of the BP ladies yelling at COTA people on the radio.
  15. Leaving COTA after riding the MS 150 and it is a grade A shit show. It will get even worse when the slow riders come in.
  16. Realize this is a little late, but did you call 311 or the department responsible to discuss the issue? The only way the city is going to get better is if the average citizen actively engages in the process.
  17. This seems a lot like the plan for Major Applewhite to come home and take over the Longhorns from Mack Brown. Which was a terrible idea.
  18. What a shit show. You were right about this one all along.

  22. Well, crap. It was a lady playing “Cold as Ice” on her phone for three minutes without speaking.
  23. Some lady used her three minutes just to play a Foreigner song on her phone.
