The press is going wild about our outdoor stage being shut down the other night. Politicians like Mayor Pro-Tem Mike Martinez who pledged to help us obtain the necessary permits have decided instead to play politics with the issue. So allow us to clear the air!
Gary over at Austin City Permits has, in my opinion, the accurate story of how all this came to be. It’s almost good enough for a made for TV movie — almost.
Here’s a little blurb from FOX this morning:

Check out the Parade of Hot Rods on South Congress all day Saturday and Sunday!
Well we had a great February and March!
Schoolboy’s and girl’s basketball finals, the rodeo, and our old pal SXSW. The Interactive and Film elements of the festival were bigger and funner than ever, and all the great parties on S. Congress during the music was real cool.
A special thanks to all the loyal employees who worked so hard to make it a great month.
Thanks to all of our Austin regulars who tolerated the masses of our out of town guests.
We get as star struck as the next guys, although we try to act Austin cool and not show it. In the last few weeks we’ve had a few pop in on us such as Mischa Barton, Quentin Tarantino, Adrian Grenier, Chloe Savigny and Sharon Jones just to name a few.
