  1. Dixie Chicks at ACL on 4/12. Saw the Turnpike Troubadors at the Rodeo a couple weeks ago, and the sound was terrible as it often is out there. Need to see them again in a real venue.
  2. That's an interesting perspective. Most of the reviews of the library I've heard are very positive. My kids absolutely love it, and the whole Seaholm District. It's a far cry better than sitting at Book People. I don't like the way it was funded, but that's on the Advisory Task Force for that bond. They were told how much it was going to cost, and decided to vote for a lesser number because the city was somehow going to magically do it on the cheap. They should have just voted for the bigger number.
  3. I've watched no NCAA Tournament basketball so far this year. Seems like tonight would be a good night to start.
  4. I like the idea of this group being a nomadic tribe of wanderers, without a home. Ostracized by those in charge from place to place. It's so Biblical.
  5. Made a very slight variation that shouldn't matter to Shagsters but provides a little cover should city/neighborhood types decide to start searching out my slave name.
  6. Good points. My main argument against this proposal is that it hamstrings us in terms of future proposals. Got an email from a friend who’s filing against Troxy tomorrow looking for an endorsement. She’s one of the few I like.
  7. I wouldn’t want to be part of any funding request on the ballot alongside the shit show city bond that is going to be presented. Unless Council scales the BEATF proposal way back.
  8. I’m just going to throw something out here, guys. We might not be that good.
  9. Quality Fisting tonight. Strong game from Choo. Maybe this team won't be that awful.
  10. SYSK Live - How Public Relations Works. It's about how Edward Bernays, who's both a terrible person and the father of public relations. He basically spent decades proving that people are sheep and easily manipulated and his career included overthrowing a central American government.

    The hospital partner is a definite one. I think everybody in the league has one. Could also be Baylor Scott & White since they're making a big play to break into this market.
  12. Emergency goalies are absolutely the best. Made all 7 saves.

    Will be interesting to see what other partners they can solicit. Obviously, there are a ton of other big partnership deals they need to book beyond kit sponsorship.
  14. - Stuff You Should Know - Crooked Media - Pod Save America, Lovett or Leave It, Keep It, Pod Save the World - Freakonomics - Two Guys on Your Head - American History Tellers (still unsure on this one)
  15. I believe they're mode agnostic at this point. Part of it will result in rail. I've met the new Cap Metro guy in a couple informal settings and he seems really energetic and like someone that can get stuff done. Hopefully the bureaucracy doesn't choke that out of him.

    I feel like I also started this thread but I’m happy to jump in here. Think ABW might not have the scrilla to pull off kit sponsorship. I’m thinking Samsung, Dell, 3M? Who else has a big presence here and a national footprint that would benefit from MLS?
  18. This post, and the one before it, are both very true. The general populace needs to be way more engaged and vote so that the NIMBYs and the like don't keep electing folks like the ones we have now.
  19. Hated that old thread title, anyhow. Things are looking way up with the unanimous vote to study McKalla this week. However, Alter seems determined to be a fly in the ointment. Which is completely unsurprising, given her standard MO.
