SXSW canceled
We are throwing an unofficial day party at Empire Control Room on 3/15. Still on. Could be a super fun week for locals, depending on how things break over the next few days.

Austin City Government - Circus of the Insane
The original MACC number of $15 million came from PARD and was in the package months before it was due. Here's what we (BEATF) recommended: Cultural Center Improvements. $42.5 million. Funding for improvements to the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican‐ American Cultural Center (MACC), Asian‐American Resource Center (AARC), George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center, Mexic‐Arte Museum Here's what came out of Council: Cultural Center Improvements $56.5 million. Funding for major renovations and improvements to the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center (MACC), Asian-American Resource Center (AARC), George Washington Carver Museum, Cultural and Genealogy Center, and the Mexic-Arte Museum Everything that was in our package of $851 million had a fair amount of detail behind it. I just threw away thousands of pages of documents related to it last weekend. Who knows how the city got to $925 million.

Next season should start about the same time as this one. I’d expect us to start on the road to give construction time to complete.

I think Salah is the first one out. And I love him. But also I trust JK to find the right person to replace him.

Actually, it’s the Chili’s at 45th and Lamar.

I think some of those breweries will end up going once real estate costs go up in the area. What I would really love is a pedestrian path over the tracks so we could have a kickass March to the stadium from Oskar Blues or 4th Tap.

I’m pretty sure it’s jersey sponsor. And not Indeed.

Fitlump really taking on the anti-homeless crusade on Twitter. Making me pro-Adler about the whole thing.

Oof. I was on the advisory task force for 2018. Was way more work than I thought it would be. Can’t imagine what you’re going through. Thanks for agreeing to serve.

Austin Homeless Free for All Ordinance
What happens on Jan 18 or 25? And I do find it baffling that they're so focused on this one housing piece of the puzzle and not everything else we could be doing. The Governor's approach still sucks.

United Methodist Church to split in two
Honestly, this is the best possible outcome given where the church is right now.

United Methodist Church to split in two
Sure. But that was before last year.

United Methodist Church to split in two
Yep. That was the one. We had a good experience, but It's been quite a while since we lived in that part of town. Never officially became members. Cool to hear. Which makes me think, what would a place like that do if there wasn't a split? Ignore the new rules?

United Methodist Church to split in two
We've stopped going to our local UMC over the last vote and will return when this is through. Individual churches previously had more discretion. We went to one in north Austin that had a rainbow flag and a lady pastor with a rainbow stole for a while.

AFAIK, we don't have anywhere to put them.

These are made up names right? Like when sports games used to not have permission to use real player names, so they had reasonably close approximations.

Meet and greet with Reyna on Tuesday at 5:30 at Takoba. Should be interesting to get his perspective.

They did. Back to Soldier Field. How bad is a location when Soldier Field is the better option?
