  1. And, I get that. No downside for Council to approve.
  2. I think we are a couple council seats away from being able to make real progress. Both of those seats are up in 2020. I don’t think the current system allows a mayor to really drive an agenda.
  3. Maybe Adler is buying off Bobby for the whole soccer thing.

    I’m prett sure that the local design firm who did this work is familiar with the fact that Austin is hot.
  5. Harding would be a win for the side of goodness and progress. Along with Pio and the mayor keeping their seat. D8 should be interesting. I’ve met with DePalma and he says all the right things but Ward has Troxy’s endorsement.

    The pop ups have been a huge success. Gives me a lot of hope that the average Austinite, who is just now really learning about this, is really excited about it. Say “hi” to Kelan for me if you pick something up.

    I’m on this, as a person who has dedicated hundreds of hours to the cause. Super meh.

    Leslie Pool favoriting the tweet of the main Save the Crew guy on the Commissioners Court vote, while still not having met with the local soccer community, is the most Leslie Pool thing ever. I can’t imagine that this symbolic vote changes anything.

    There's beer on my walk everywhere we go.

    Are we talking about Broadmoor or something else? https://communityimpact.com/austin/northwest-austin/development-construction/2018/07/23/brandywine-sets-out-to-fulfill-vision-for-ibm-broadmoor-campus-in-north-austin/

    This is very true. I make the walk with two elementary-school aged boys. No big deal, but you do have to walk slower. I just always pack an extra beer or two for the walk if they are coming.

    Same reason here. Traffic is a breeze when we get to the car vs. the disaster that is traffic close in to the stadium.

    With all the consternation about parking and walking, I mapped out my usual route for Longhorn game day. It’s 1.5 miles from the lot to the stadium. And it never seems all that bad. I don’t know why opponents refused to acknowledge how many similar situations there are with events all over town.
  14. But Susan Spataro assured me that Mr Epstein was the one person who really cared about soccer in Austin and would ensure that fans had a first class experience!

    Great night at Haymaker. Flannigan, Pio and the Mayor all showed up. I've bro-hugged Jimmy like 30 times today. Legit work in terms of site plans, architectural, engineering, etc. starts in earnest tomorrow.

    I love everyone right now. Particularly Jimmy Flannigan.

    Not yet. Pool climbing off the soapbox. Alter up now.

    Yup. In the back w the MLS in Austin gang. Does Pool know that there’s a “T” on the end of Precourt?
