  1. If you’re a soccer fan, we put together a Voters Guide for you. https://medium.com/austinanthem/austin-soccer-voters-guide-to-the-2018-austin-municipal-election-8c7be2db8420
  2. So, um, the GIF thread was the tried and true way to get my wife going for sexy time, so if I could just get access to that, everything would be cool. Spending my days arguing about soccer and NIMBYism doesn't seem to be a great way to build the rep count.
  3. I will also disagree with the basic premise that a citizen can only talk to two members, which started this twisted logic. People who show up, present reasoned arguments and are willing to be part of a solution can have influence with more than that.
  4. Groundbreaking coming next week. I’m sure IndyAustin will be out collecting sigs from the half dozen or so who show up.
  5. Feels like there should have been an election on this, but considering that “victory” would be hanging out with ANC types, I’m willing to let this one slide.
  6. Yeah, that might be the most nonsensical political argument I’ve ever read.
  7. See, they're gonna be Austin's team, because the players will mostly be random people off the streets of Austin.

    Very unlikely. MLS & city were both positive today. Leslie Pool remains a steaming pile of poo.

    2019 is the only thing out for sure. 2020 still depends on temp location. 2021 is the latest. Good news, even if we have to wait an extra year.

  11. They are definitely for it. Kiss goodbye to any hope of land development reform if it passes.
  12. I don't, but I think I'm coming around to your position. Staying out of that one and focusing on Adler & Pio.

    Today's party was amazing. We were hoping for 150, and we had both Jack & Ginger's and the patio at Dogwood packed to the gills. CM Flannigan showed up in a tux, stood in a chair and delivered an electric speech. This thing is going to happen and it's going to be glorious. Next official organizational meeting is November 4.

    They are the absolute fucking worst.

    Went to the Hispanic Chamber gala last night. Huge event with 800+ people. Mayor Adler sent a shoutout to Austin FC during his remarks and a cheer came up from the crowd when their logo came on the screen. There’s a ton of excitement about this. Reminder about the big supporters group party on 9/29 from 4 to 6. Team will also be there with merch.

    Big Supporters Group celebration on the 29th at Jack & Ginger’s Domain. Team will also be there, hopefully with fresh merch. https://www.facebook.com/events/1913049485456837/?ti=ia
  17. Love it, and my kids love it, but I forgot how about all the "driving around in the car while smoking cigarettes and drinking whiskey" stuff until the first time I watched it with them.
  18. We did this like a month ago at Lakeline as a fundraiser for the Humane Society.
  19. Company’s paying for mine, too. I just like being picked up and dropped off at my exact spot. I’m also a nerd about getting to the airport early after getting stuck in Savannah an extra day after missing my flight after too much Grey Goose one night, so not worried about the time.
  20. Serious question - Why use anything other than off airport? Pickup and dropoff at your vehicle.
  21. I’m saying this as someone generally opposed to term limits. We get the government we deserve. I’d rather convince enough people that Pool is terrible for the city and vote her out as opposed to losing Flannigan after six years because of an arbitrary standard.
  22. I’d be interested in learning more about the idea. Sounds pretty common sense.
