Well - I think this kind of response typifies the combative attitude 
displayed by many Austinites. Now we know why we have Brigid Shea and
Nuts Nofziger on the city council. I for one am sick to my stomach 
about the kind of political shit that holds up and ultimately quashes
such things as bringing professional sports to Austin. The attitudes of
people that "the money should be spent on more worthwhile pursuits" just
leads me to believe that we should fight harder to defeat the "politically
motivated majority" (or should we just refer to them as the lost souls).

Wake the hell up Austin! This is a great opportunity that is the city
will eventually regret if it doesn't happen. I for one am going to organize
a movement to bring this team to town and pave the way for more things of
this kind. Austin is known as the clean air city. It's also probably the
most boring place to be in all of Texas! Ask anyone from Austin what there
is to do here - sixth street and that's all. And if you don't like to
hang out and drink, there's really not much else. 

While the issue of the stadium also being a music venue is certainly a
tenuous one, it shouldn't be the determinant factor concerning bringing
the Firebirds to Austin. It's hard for me to believe that Martin Stone would
still consider bringing his team to Austin, but I guess he truly believes
that it will be as worthwhile a proposition for this city as it will be
for the team.

For those of you on the side of progress - I salute you. For those of
you who are against - go back to the drawing board. Better yet, why
don't you just crawl back inside your caves and wait until UT Football
season starts (college sports - RA RA).

See you on October 7th! Who's with me!
