Zach was a medical student at Dell Medical School, when he and Gabe launched last year in partnership with local farms to deliver boxes of produce to customers in the Austin area.

Peter Blackstock covering livestream concerts during shutdown

Thu, 19 Mar 2020 13:07:24 -0000

Wednesday-Saturday: Austin Love & Lightstream. Local music patron organization Black Fret, which has awarded $1.7 million in grants to Austin acts since 2014, has teamed up with historic venue Scholz Garten to present a five-day series featuring six hours of livestreamed performances each day. The events began on Tuesday and will wrap up on Saturday. Wednesday’s lineup will feature Gordy Quist & Evan Charles (4 p.m.), Tomar & the FCs (5 p.m.), Barbara Nesbitt (6 p.m.), Belle Sounds (7 p.m.), Sam Houston & Blk Odyssy (8 p.m.) and Alesia Lani (9 p.m.). Lineups for Thursday through Saturday are still TBA. blackfret.org. Donations: blackfret.org/make-a-donation — P.B.

Wednesday: ComboPlate Booking Roster Party. Initially an event scheduled for Guero’s during SXSW, this annual benefit for Caritas of Austin’s food service programs is now set for livestreaming from several of the participating artists’ homes, including Matt the Electrician, Raina Rose, JM Stevens, Curtis McMurtry, Betty Soo, Nathan Hamilton and Beaver Nelson. Dozens of gift cards will be given to anyone who donates $50 or more. 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. facebook.com/comboplatebooking. Donations: southbysoupfest.org. — P.B.

Wednesday: Ray Wylie Hubbard. Overshadowed by the world turning upside down late last week was the uniquely bizarre announcement that Wimberley’s own Ray Wylie Hubbard has signed to Nashville major Big Machine Records, home to Tim McGraw, Sugarland, Midland and others. Want proof? Tune into his livestream, which will air at 7 p.m. from, you guessed it, facebook.com/bigmachinerecords. — P.B.

Wednesday: Little Mazarn. An Austin360 Artist of the Month in 2019, Little Mazarn is Lindsey Verrill, who plays banjo and sometimes upright bass, with Jeff Johnston, who plays the saw and sometimes bowed glockenspiel. The sound is as intriguing and enchanting as the instrumentation suggests, providing minimal but vital accompaniment for Verrill’s songs full of open space and natural wonder. 7 p.m. facebook.com/littlemazarn. Donations: See streaming site. — P.B.

Friday: Emily Gimble. The official Texas State Musician for 2020, Emily followed in the footsteps of her legendary grandfather Johnny Gimble, the pioneering western swing fiddler who was named Texas State Musician in 2003. Gimble’s instrument of choice is piano, and she’s been a regular in local clubs for more than a decade, both on her own and during stints with Warren Hood and Asleep at the Wheel. In a social media post announcing the show, Gimble said she’s “planning on making this a regular thing until the storms clear.” 6 p.m. facebook.com/mlegimble. Donations: Venmo mlegimble; PayPal mlegimble@gmail.com — P.B.

Friday-Thursday: Jackie Venson. No stranger to virtual jams, Austin’s guitar ace has been hosting online sessions for fans and followers in her JV Squad Facebook group for over a year. Now, with the coronavirus pandemic leaving much of the country homebound, she’s pledged to drop an internet jam session each night at 9:30 p.m. In addition to singing and playing guitar, she might hop on the piano or treat listeners to tunes from her new Jackie the Robot DJ set. “It’s all on the table now. I mean, last night’s show featured Jackie doing a rendition of ‘Keep On’ on the ukulele,” Venson’s manager (and fiance) Louie Carr said on Tuesday. facebook.com/jackievenson. Donations: paypal.me/jackievenson — D.S.S.

Saturday: DJ Mel’s Living Room Dance Party. On March 16, when the South by Southwest Music Festival should have been kicking off but Austinites were hunkered down at home instead, DJ Mel took to the turntables to host the first edition of this virtual body-rock-a-thon. Thousands of viewers from around the country tuned in. Expecting to play for a handful of “Austin homies,” he was “shocked” by the response, he told the Statesman on Sunday afternoon while combing through the 17,000 comments on his Facebook post. He’s decided to make the Saturday night jam a regular affair. The party will kick off at 6 p.m. and run till 10, and to keep the (virtual) event family-friendly, he plans to use radio edits of all your favorite rap tunes. facebook.com/DJ-Mel-48330349120 — D.S.S.

Sunday: Jeff Plankenhorn. Not since Junior Brown’s 1990s breakthrough with his “guit-steel” has an Austin-based artist become so specifically associated with a custom-made instrument as Plankenhorn’s trusty “plank,” a Dobro-like contraption. His versatility as a musician has long made him in high demand with acts including Joe Ely and the Resentments, the latter outfit having welcomed him into their fold many years ago for Sunday night shows at the Saxon Pub. With those shows on hold for now amid the coronavirus pandemic, Plankenhorn has staked out some time this Sunday for a virtual show of his own. 8 p.m. facebook.com/events/194330805185995. Donations: Venmo Jeff-Plankenhorn — D.S.S.

Deborah Sengupta Stith early predictions for ACL 2020

Thu, 09 Jan 2020 21:38:00 -0000

We’re only a couple weeks into the new year, and it already feels like the 2020 music festival season is off to a running start. Two of the biggest national festivals, Coachella (which takes place for two weekends in April in Indio, Calif.) and Bonnaroo (set to rock a field in Tennessee on June 11-14) have released their lineups. Meanwhile, closer to home, tickets are on sale for Austin City Limits Music Festival, scheduled for Oct. 2-4 and 9-11 in Zilker Park.

No one is passing us ACL Fest insider information; many artists only have a few dates on their 2020 calendars right now. But over the last several years, with the festival business surging, more and more high profile acts are structuring their road jaunts around the national festival calendar. So it stands to reason that some of the artists playing the first two massive outdoor fests of the year will still be working the festival circuit by the time our little shindig in the park rolls around in October.

Here are a few predictions about who will and will not be in the ACL Fest mix. The odds are completely arbitrary and do not involve math of any kind.

The likely contenders

Rage Against the Machine. It’s an election year, and the politically charged rap-rockers are back in action for the first time since 2011. The band is kicking off a run of reunion dates with a border town tour that starts in El Paso on March 26. They headline Coachella in April. Late last year, the internet exploded over a “leaked list” of international tour dates that put the band in Brazil on Weekend One of the fest, but it was debunked. It’s easy to believe the band will be up for resistance rocking the capital of Texas in October. Odds: 72%

Vampire Weekend. This is the surest of sure shots. With three prior ACL Fest appearances under their belts, they are fest regulars, beloved by Austin audiences. In addition to a Bonnaroo appearance, the band is set to play four international Lollapaloozas this year. (Lollapalooza is produced by C3 Presents, the same Austin-based company that produces ACL Fest.) Vampire Weekend’s fall tour schedule has a Weekend One-sized hole between a Sept. 30 Oklahoma City date and an Oct. 6 appearance in New Orleans, and it ends before Weekend Two. Odds: 95%

Lana Del Rey. America’s patron saint of sad girls, whose latest album “Norman (Expletive) Rockwell” landed on a slew of year-end best-of lists, shows up near the top of both of the Bonnaroo and Coachella lineups. Her last Austin concert was an Erwin Center show in early 2018. When she played a sunset ACL Fest set in 2014, she drew a huge crowd. We predict ACL will continue their new (and long overdue) trend of programming female headliners, and our girl will get top row billing this go round. Odds: 70%

Run the Jewels. Have the explosive aggro-rappers ever skipped an opportunity to play an Austin fest? They’ve played ACL Fest twice, in 2015 and 2017. Before that, they put in appearances at Fun Fun Fun Fest, Sound on Sound Fest and South by Southwest. Their “RTJ4” album is out this year, and the group is playing Bonnaroo and Coachella. We are very confident that Killer Mike and El-P will kick it with us in Zilker Park. Odds: 75%

Bassnectar. The Cali mix-master first played ACL Fest in 2009, before any kind of electronic music was a focus at the event. A party-rocking fave among Austin audiences, he played again in 2012 and 2015. His 2020 calendar is pretty sparse at this point, but he hasn’t played Austin since 2016, when he headlined Euphoria Fest, so there should be quite a bit of excitement among his local fans. Odds: 80%

Black Pumas. Let’s hear it for the hometown heroes. The rock-and-soul phenoms just added a third Stubb’s show in May after handily selling out the first two. They have an appearance on “The Tonight Show” later this month before they head to the Grammys to face off against Billie Eilish, Lizzo and Lil Nas X for best new artist. We would be very surprised if they don’t make their debut appearance at Zilker Park this fall. Odds: 87%

The strong maybes

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. Late last year, the former Drive-By Trucker announced plans to spend December in the studio, which means a new album this year is likely. Right now the group has just a smattering of dates on their calendar, but surely a tour is in the works. In the past, Isbell’s opted to play multiple-night stands at top concert halls like ACL Live and Bass Concert Hall instead of large arenas. His last Austin appearance was at Old Settler’s Festival, a far more intimate festival than ACL Fest. Still, he has Bonnaroo and two other festival gigs on his calendar. If there’s any time to bring his powerful message music to the masses, it’s now. Odds: 59%

Flume. It’s shaping up to be a big year for the electronic music innovator from Australia. His 2019 release, “Hi This is Flume,” is up for a Grammy for best dance/electronic album. He’s headlining Coachella and Bonnaroo. Right now, his 2020 tour roster only has a handful of festival dates. His last ACL Fest appearance was in 2016, and he feels like a solid bet for one of this year’s EDM headliners. Odds: 57%

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. The Aussie rockers are playing high-profile sets at both Coachella and Bonnaroo. They’ve never played ACL Fest before, but their last two Austin sets have been at C3-operated Stubb’s Amphitheater. Their current North American tour is a run of spring dates that’s missing a southern leg. An ACL appearance seems likely. Odds: 62%

Dababy. The only thing that could have made Lizzo’s epic ACL Fest set last year bigger would have been an appearance by the red-hot rapper, who joined her for his “Truth Hurts” remix verse at Made In America Fest a month earlier. There was no reason for the North Carolina rapper to drop in last year, but now he’s on the lineup for Coachella and Bonnaroo. The only Texas date on the first leg of his North American tour is a March 20 stop in Corpus Christi. He’s no stranger to South by Southwest — in 2017, he roamed the streets of Austin wearing nothing but a diaper — and a few open dates on his schedule might indicate a pop-in on the March madness. The biggest thing that could preclude an ACL Fest appearance is a headline spot at Jmblya 2020. Odds: 47%

Megan Thee Stallion. No one owes us an ACL Fest set more than the head hot girl, who missed her set last year. Festival organizers told the American-Statesman that the Houston rapper, whose career was skyrocketing, “did not leave her hotel until after her scheduled time and didn’t arrive on time to perform.” This year, she’s on the lineups for Coachella and Bonnaroo. Would the festival book her again? Would the hotties trust her enough to show up if they do? Possibly. It’s also very possible that ACL Fest will pass and Hot Girl Meg will take top billing at Jmblya. Odds: 45%

Miley Cyrus. Sure, we pegged the pop superstar as an ACL Fest possibility last year and turned out to be wrong. But 2019 was a turbulent year for Cyrus, including a divorce, vocal cord surgery and the delay of her expected release, “She Is Miley Cyrus.” Does a Bonnaroo appearance bode well for an ACL Fest set this year? Maybe. Odds: 42%

Sorry friends, not this year

Frank Ocean. We desperately want to believe the Coachella headliner might play ACL Fest. We really, really do. But we’ve been burned by many a SXSW pop-up that never manifested. We dare not lead you down the path of thousands of Camp Flog Gnaw attendees who made the wrong bet on the fest’s surprise headliner last year. After rumors of an Ocean appearance proved false, angry fans booed Drake off the stage at the L.A. fest. If Flog Gnaw organizer Tyler the Creator couldn’t secure a headline spot from his old Odd Future homie, I doubt we’ll fare much better. Odds: 15%

Tool. There are still tickets available for the L.A. rockers Erwin Center show on Jan 21, which makes it unlikely the L.A. rockers, who headline one night of Bonnaroo, will be back at Zilker. Odds: 17%

Travis Scott. The Houston rap superstar last played the fest in 2018, when he was bumped into the Saturday night headliner spot after a foot injury forced Childish Gambino to cancel. That reason alone would eliminate him as a 2020 headliner, but beyond that, Scott’s fall calendar is now domi

Mary Huber on Hyperloop Texas speed train

Wed, 18 Dec 2019 21:47:35 -0000

How feasible is a 700-mph hyperloop that would send riders in a near-vacuum tube from Laredo to Fort Worth in 48 minutes?

Engineers think it’s pretty feasible.

Hyperloop, which uses electric propulsion to shoot passengers in a pod through low-pressure tubes, ranks the highest among possible high-speed transportation options to connect Texas cities along the Interstate 35 corridor, according to a study presented this week to Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, or CAMPO.

And while a Hyperloop system doesn’t exist yet anywhere in the world, outside of a test site in the Nevada desert, Steven Duong, urban planner for the engineering firm AECOM, said the technology has advanced quickly enough that it is a reasonable contender for high-speed transit across the state.

“While it is obviously dramatic and fanciful, there is also a lot of reason for optimism,” he said. “Our opinion is that is has developed fast enough and far along enough in the last four years that knowing that the time horizon for potential technology deployment in the state of Texas is a ways off, it does seem like it is an important technology worth considering.”

The idea for high-speed travel through vacuum tubes did, in fact, begin as science fiction, more than a century ago. However, the concept transformed into an attainable goal after billionaire Elon Musk unveiled his idea for a high-speed hyperloop transit system in 2013, spurring interest from investors.

Now, at least two hyperloop companies exist in the world, Virgin Hyperloop One, which started in a California basement and is now a multimillion-dollar company; and Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, which is expected to unveil its first hyperloop system in Dubai as early as next year.

The technology — which is electric, autonomous and twice as fast as a plane — has excited transportation officials and is one of many options being considered in the Fort Worth to Laredo High-Speed Transportation study, which was funded by the North Central Texas Council of Governments and conducted by AECOM.

Others on the table include maglev trains, a technology already employed in China and Japan that uses magnetic propulsion and magnetic levitation instead of wheels on a track; guaranteed transit, a technology that would involve an autonomous, electric bus that moves down a managed lane with dynamic pricing; high-speed rail; higher-speed rail and conventional rail.

Highest score in study

Duong said hyperloop scored the highest, from a technology-standpoint, and maglev second, with stops along each of the major cities on the corridor, including Laredo, San Antonio, Austin, Killeen-Temple, Waco and Dallas-Fort Worth.

Estimations are that hyperloop would reduce a nearly 6½-hour car trip on that route to less than an hour, transporting 16,000 passengers in that time.

Duong did not include cost estimates for the various technologies or where specific routes would run, though he did mention the likelihood that tracks through Central Texas would be placed east of Austin, after Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt asked about land preservation in anticipation of the new technology coming online.

Kristen Hammer, business development manager for Virgin Hyperloop One, which is consulting for the high-speed transportation study in Texas, said the track doesn’t require a lot of room.

“We can squeeze into pretty tight spaces because we are elevated on columns, so highway medians, abandoned rail lines,” Hammer said. “We take up less room than high-speed rail.”

Duong said best cost estimates come from the technology companies, and those vary depending on the route. Hammer said a feasibility study for hyperloop in Missouri had estimated construction costs at roughly $40 million per mile. At that rate, a 430-mile system in Texas would cost about $17 billion. Hammer said the variations in price depend on the terrain and how consistent the column heights need to be.

According to AECOM, hyperloop also scores well as a high-speed transit option in Texas because it is both a freight and passenger system, which means the technology could be extended to places like Monterrey and used to transport goods across the U.S-Mexico border.

Duong said more detailed information about project costs and routes will be included in the completed high-speed transportation study, due out early next year.

Reality or pie in the sky?

But some CAMPO officials questioned whether hyperloop is more “pie in the sky” than reality.

“I would like to see a little more analysis on how much of that benefit can we get from an existing technology like higher speed rail because that’s better than what we have today,” CAMPO Executive Director Ashby Johnson said. “I am concerned about the amount of time it would take for development of the technology, in addition to the time it would take to test, and then the safety issues that may or may not be involved. Rather than put something off waiting for the perfect, the good might be fine.”

Hyperloop is in its infancy, but Duong said the technology doesn’t have any “fatal flaws.” And, according to Hammer, Virgin Hyperloop One could be ready to start construction in six months upon signing a contract, minus the regulatory hurdles it has to overcome.

So far, a regulatory framework for something like hyperloop doesn’t exist.

In March, U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao announced at South by Southwest Interactive in Austin the creation of a new Non-Traditional and Emergency Technology Council to tackle that problem, providing oversight for new technologies like hyperloop, drones and autonomous vehicles.

Hammer said, in the meantime, Virgin Hyperloop One engineers are fine-tuning the technology, anticipating possible safety concerns and finding ways to tackle those so they can meet regulatory requirements once they are created, likely in three to five years. Add about the same amount of time for construction, Hammer said, and it’s likely we won’t see any vacuum tubes on the ground in the U.S. for another decade.

“When we are talking about building a couple hundred miles of track, it’s not a fast process,” Hammer said.

Virgin Hyperloop One plans to open a certification center in 2021, in a place yet to be determined, where it can bring in regulators to see the technology. Hammer said conversations are being about Texas as a potential home for the site.

Katie Hall on elementary school closures

Fri, 22 Nov 2019 14:56:00 -0000

A day after Austin school board members approved a plan to shutter four elementary schools and consolidate students at other campuses next year, affected parents are vowing to oppose future district bond elections and the board members who supported the closures.

The nine-member school board late Monday voted 6-3 to close Metz, Sims, Brooke and Pease elementaries, agreeing to the recommendations district staff had submitted and revised since September. The closures disproportionately affect Latino and black students with all but one school located in East Austin; Pease is in downtown Austin. Parents in schools slated for closure have complained of officials being opaque in the closure process and dismissive of parent concerns. Critics also accused the plan of being racist.

“I cannot trust anything they say because the process has been so flawed, so dishonest, so inauthentic and just a pell-mell rush,” said Kristine Garaña, mother of two children enrolled at Pease, told the American-Statesman.

The closures were part of an overall “School Changes” plan that includes providing before- and after-school care for district elementary students, working toward eliminating racial disparities in disciplinary actions, and increasing literacy for students of color and English learners by third grade.

Brooke students will be split among Linder, Govalle, Sanchez and Zavala elementaries. Metz students will move to Sanchez Elementary, Sims students to Norman Elementary and Pease students to Zavala Elementary.

Mathew Odam El Azteca returns on secret menu

Fri, 22 Nov 2019 14:51:36 -0000

uan Guerra has wanted to bring back the comforting flavors of his family’s legendary Mexican restaurant ever since El Azteca closed in East Austin in 2016. His wait will soon end.

The former general manager and chef at the East Austin restaurant his grandparents Jorge D. Guerra and Ninfa Guerra opened in 1963 has taken a position at 8 Track bar and restaurant at 2805 Manor Road in East Austin and will be incorporating some of El Azteca’s staple to the current menu that includes burgers, a schnitzel sandwich, pork tacos, crab cake “corn dogs” and more.

8 Track is already serving El Azteca’s queso, salsa and enchiladas on the weekend and hopes by next week to introduce a bigger “EL Azteca Secret Menu” with items like carne guisada, tortilla soup and veggie enchiladas, with plans to expand the menu over time depending on response. The kitchen is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

“Making this food and tasting it and smelling it takes me back. It’s like all I have to do is close my eyes and I can hear and see my grandparents and father eating it and enjoying it,” said Guerra, who has lost his grandparents and father since the restaurant on East Seventh Street closed. “It’s in my blood and I’m so happy to bring it back.”

Peter Blackstock on Grammy nominations and Austin artist nominations

Thu, 21 Nov 2019 15:05:15 -0000

Austin guitar great Gary Clark Jr. received four Grammy nominations, and local band Black Pumas got a nomination for best new artist as nominees for the 62nd annual Grammy Awards were announced Wednesday morning. Other Austin nominees include Willie Nelson, Patty Griffin and Jimmie Vaughan.

Clark, who won a 2013 Grammy for best traditional R&B performance with his song “Please Come Home,” is nominated for best contemporary blues album for his 2019 release “This Land.” The album’s title track is nominated for best rock performance, best rock song and best music video.

Black Pumas, led by Eric Burton and Adrian Quesada, released their self-titled debut album in June on ATO Records after breaking out locally in 2018. The band will perform Nov. 29 at Longhorn City Limits on the LBJ Library Lawn before the University of Texas-Texas Tech football game.

Austin icon Nelson, a nine-time Grammy winner, received a nomination for best country solo performance for “Ride Me Back Home,” the title track to his most recent album. He’s up against Tanya Tucker, Black Shelton, Ashley McBryde and Tyler Childers in that category.

Blues guitar master Vaughan got a nod in the best traditional blues album category for “Baby, Please Come Home.” Vaughan is a four-time Grammy winner, including two in collaboration with his late brother Stevie Ray Vaughan. Other nominees are native Texan and part-time Austin resident Delbert McClinton for “Tall, Dark & Handsome”, Bobby Rush, Jontavious Willis and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram.

Singer-songwriter Griffin, who won best traditional gospel album in 2010 for “Downtown Church,” got a nomination this year for best folk album for her recent self-titled release. Others nominated in the category are Andrew Bird, Joy Williams, Gregory Alan Isakove and Che Apalache.

Wimberley-raised Americana artist Sarah Jarosz, who won her first two Grammys two years ago, is represented in the American roots song and American roots performance categories this year. She teamed with Sara Watkins and Aoife O’Donovan in the roots supergroup I’m With Her, whose song “Call My Name” received two nominations.

Also possibly in line for a share in two awards is producer Brian “Malik” Baptiste, who produced a track on Ariana Grande’s album “Thank U, Next,” nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. He’s a 2014 graduate of Leander High School.

Tue, 19 Nov 2019 23:24:15 -0000

It may be hard to believe, but one of Austin’s favorite holiday traditions — the Trail of Lights — is about to return for its 55th year in Zilker Park. And while it’s always fun to meander along the loop brimming with 2 million lights and lined with 60 elaborate displays, this year, there’s even more to see and do. Here’s a sneak peak of what to expect at the 2019 Austin Trail of Lights, which runs Dec. 10-23.

Fun Run: The Trail of Lights might officially kick off Dec. 10, but you can get an early glimpse of it during the annual Austin Trail of Lights Fun Run, which is from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Dec. 7. After the 2.1-mile jaunt, which starts at the Zilker Holiday Tree, enjoy a Finish Line Festival complete with a dance party, food trucks and a fitness expo. New this year, runners will have the option to choose from one of four waves of start times intended to reduce congestion along the trail at 6 p.m., 6:30 p.m., 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. All participants receive a free hot cocoa or beer at the finish line. Pricing starts at $37 for adults and $20 for children 11 and under.

Themed and specialty nights: Expect numerous themed and specialty nights this year, including the Zilker Holiday Tree Lighting Dec. 1, the Night Lights preview party Dec. 6, Heroes Night Dec. 7, Movie Night Dec. 12 and UT Night Dec. 15. Visitors can also expect live entertainment throughout the month from acts including Jackie Venson and Mother Falcon.

Play and stay: Have company coming to town? This year, the Trail of Lights is partnering with Hilton Hotel to offer a “Celebrate the Magic” package. Guests who book a stay at Hilton will receive a 10-percent discount on Trial of Lights ZIP tickets.

New attractions: This year will feature a new 8-by-6-foot dreidel labyrinth sculpture from sculptor Marcia Raff, as well as a new wine bar (Trail of Flights) presented by Coravin in Zilker Village.

Photo ready: You can’t forget those Santa photos. Snap a free photo with Santa and Mrs. Claus in Santa’s newly updated house, sponsored by Ascension Seton and Dell Children’s Medical Center.

More details: The Trail of Lights is open from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. nightly Dec. 10-23. Adult admission is free Dec. 10-12 and 15-18. Admission for children 11 and under is always free. Early entry ZIP Fast Passes, VIP Platinum passes and parking and shuttle passes are also available. Learn more at austintrailoflights.org.

Adelle Archer's Eterneva makes diamonds from cremated ashes

Fri, 15 Nov 2019 00:16:42 -0000

Eterneva, the Austin-based startup that turns cremated ashes of pets and loved ones into diamonds, announced Monday that it has raised $1.2 million in seed funding.

Founded in 2017 by Adelle Archer and Garrett Ozar, the company extracts carbon from roughly half a cup of ashes and then puts the purified carbon through an extreme pressure and heat environment to create each diamond. It’s one of a handful of companies worldwide that offer the service.

Key investors in the funding round include Notley Ventures founder Dan Graham, Spiritual Gangster founder Ian Lopatin, former Ralph Lauren president Eric Korman and data.world founder Brett Hurt.

“I lost both of my parents years ago and know firsthand how limited the options were to celebrate their life,” Hurt, who also founded Bazaarvoice and Coremetrics, said in a written statement. “It is an honor to be among their first investors in such great company and in such a beautiful, memorable product matched with incredible customer service.”

Archer said the funding will go toward hiring in sales, customer service and additional senior hires. Eterneva has eight employees, and Archer said the plan is to hire three more.

Eterneva recently relocated to a 4,000 square-foot office in South Austin that includes an in-house diamond lab. The company currently uses a carbon purification facility in Pennsylvania and grows its diamonds in Germany, but Archer said Eterneva will eventually grow most of its diamonds at its Austin headquarters.

The company has grown nearly 300 diamonds, according to Archer.

“What’s super special is Eterneva is so much more than just a fast growing and successful company,” Archer said. “We really have a clear mission of changing the culture around grief.”

Mathew Odam on Uroko

Fri, 15 Nov 2019 00:02:09 -0000

Let’s get it out of the way up front: I was wrong. Such a great phrase we should all use more often.

In this particular case, I was wrong about my Top 50 restaurants in the Austin area that I released in the Austin360 Dining Guide last month. Uroko should have held a spot on that list. Somewhere in the Top 25.

This happens on occasion — scheduling errors or lack of awareness lead me to miss a potential strong candidate for my dining guide. I’d known about Uroko and its counter-service lunch and omakase dinner service since Kayo and Takéhiro Asazu of Kome and partner chef Masazumi Saio opened the restaurant in May at Springfield General in East Austin. I even enjoyed some temaki (handroll) lunches at Uroko and included their spicy crawfish roll in a list of refreshing dishes to eat when the temperature seemed unbearable.

But every time I attempted to secure an online reservation for dinner, I was stymied. Chalk that up to the tiny space (six seats) and limited dinners (originally five seatings twice a week, now three times a week) and my inability to think two months in advance.

After another lunch visit and two flawless omakase (chef’s choice) meals at the food-court style set up in the mixed-use complex of buildings, I realized that Uroko is one of the city’s best destinations for sushi thanks to exciting flavor profiles, precise execution and solid value.

Temaki (hand rolls) make for an ideal light lunch. For those unfamiliar with the form, the chef in most cases takes a sheet of seaweed, fills it with sushi rice, fish, vegetables and other accoutrement and rolls it into a cone-shaped meal that you can eat with your hands. If you’re regularly picking up sliced sushi rolls from the grocery store, with their cold rice and often flavorless fish, you’re going to want to investigate these temaki.

Uroko serves basic rolls for $4.50 that usually include a trio of simple, quality ingredients, such as avocado and cucumber with either tuna or salmon. There is also a small selection of cooked temaki, of which I’d recommend the uangi ($5.75), sweet slivers of barbecue eel pressed together with avocado and cream cheese for a seaweed-wrapped take on a fish melt. Those who don’t eat fish will be pleased to find a quartet of vegetable temaki with ingredients such as yamagobo (pickled burdock root), shiso, cucumber and crispy quinoa.

While the basic rolls serve their, well, basic function, there is more excitement to be found in the $7 temaki listed under “Chef’s Creation,” a group featuring more complex flavor profiles you’d find at a restaurant. Lemon miso and ginger perk up lush fatty salmon in the sake toro roll. Wasabi butter and crispy quinoa layer heat and crunch on fatty hamachi; ginger and Thai chili counter the aggressive tang of house-cured mackerel; and umami jelly, garlic crisps and pickled jalapeño give an aged steakhouse glow to beef tataki.

Uroko

1023 Springdale Road. Bldg 1 Suite C. 512-520-4004, urokoaustin.com

Rating: 9 out of 10

Hours: Temaki service: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday-Saturday. 45-minute Omakase dinner: Seatings at 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 p.m. Friday-Saturday and Monday.

Prices: Temaki, $4.50-$7 each. Omakase: $65, which requires $30 non-refundable deposit when making the reservation.

Highlights: Temaki: unagi and cheese, house cured saba, beef tataki, hama toro, bluefin tuna and zarigani. Omakase: It rotates, but get excited if you’re served salmon with lemon miso, saba with Japanese basil and pickled ginger, snow crab with miso butter, bluefin tuna and soy-glazed duck with foie gras and crispy quinoa.

Expect to pay: $18 for temaki and $65 for omakase. (Price per one person, does not include alcohol, tax or tip).

Notes: Ample free parking. Omakase reservations go on sale two months in advance. Sushi hand roll classes held on Thursday night, with various other classes occurring occasionally.

What the rating means: The 10-point scale is an average of weighted scores for food, service, value, ambience and overall dining experience, with 10 being the best.

The Bottom Line: Smart flavor profiles, generous portions, tight execution and solid value make the unique Uroko one of the best sushi options in town.

Order your rolls at the counter — I’d suggest two for a snack and four for a substantial meal — grab a glass of binchotan-activated water (or a sake slushie if you’re feeling fun), find a seat out on the patio, or indoors in the mall area between cafes, tattoo parlors, jewelry makers and more, and wait for your buzzer to alert you.

If Uroko stopped with temaki, I’d still consider it a welcome addition to the Austin dining landscape, a place to find quality sushi with smart ingredients at a reasonable price. But the omakase dinners are what make the restaurant special. When you arrive for dinner on Friday, Saturday or Monday night, you’ll likely find a mostly quiet Springdale General, the artists and business owners already headed home for the night. Even the metal gate fronting Uroko has been pulled slightly to let diners know the restaurant is not open for regular service. It’s like dining at a small sushi counter in a Tokyo subway station after the trains have stopped running.

Search the six seating areas facing the sushi bar and find your space labeled with a card that features your name printed in Japanese and English. The sole server — attendant, polite and informed — will ask whether you’d like beer, wine or sake; I recommend the three two-ounce pours from a $22 Junmai Ginjo and Junmai Ginjo Wa sake flight from producers Nagaragawa “Tenkawa,” Tamano Hikari “Yamaha” and Houraisen that progresses from acidic to smoky to sweet in complementary form with the sushi pieces. Then the clock starts. The restaurant hosts five seatings at the top of the hour beginning at 5 p.m. Be punctual, and there won’t be any dawdling. The succession can feel quick for those not accustomed to Japanese style sushi dining, but you’ve come for the food. And you’ll be happy you did.

Longtime Austin sushi chefs Také and Masa, both originally from Osaka, alternate shifts running the omakase. Each serves a 12-course menu ($65) that features the same fish and proteins for a few months, but the chefs bring their own personal touches to each meal. Také served my dinner one week and Masa the next, and there were very few identical pieces (not that I would have complained). The chef forms the rice with his hands, layers the fish or other protein on top and then finishes with yakumi (toppings) before swinging around the counter and hand delivering the pieces with a brief explanation.

Some of the sushi blend classic Edo style, in which curing is used to preserve the fish, with modern touches. So you might find a piece of kelp-cured suzuki (Japanese seabass) set beneath a jiggle of dashi broth jelly, plum paste and a slick of olive oil. A supple piece of aji (horse mackerel) cured with salt and vinegar arrives one night from chef Také beneath a piquant mix of grated ginger and wasabi stem, and another night chef Masa punches up the fish’s miso ginger sauce with unexpected powdered garlic and green onions.

The simple beauty of voluptuous Scottish salmon, the fish dangling over the sides of its mildly vinegared rice, is adorned with a dollop of lemon miso and grated ginger, reminding you of the first time you fell in love with sushi. Chef Také tops long stretches of pale crimson and white snow crab with salmon roe, shiso leaf and salmon miso made with dashi, mirin, sake and lemon zest, while chef Masa goes a simpler but equally effective route with a spread of addictive wasabi butter. Both realize less is more with bluefin tuna from Baha, touching it with just a scintilla of wasabi.

The chefs mix various techniques in with the raw and cured offerings, quickly smoking ika (squid) under glass with cherrywood and then topping it alternatively with spicy fish roe and dehydrated sea urchin and gold tobiko, the smoke and sweetness of the wood and squid finding perfect harmony. They fry the entire botan ebi (shrimp) shell to a crunchy finish that tastes like bacon from the sea and serve it as a prelude to the raw tail meat that chef Také surprisingly finishes with beet foam and fish roe, while chef Masa gives the gelatinous meat a touch of yuzu jelly and a yuzu kosho.

The meal progresses from the light and bright to richer and more aggressive flavors, culminating with sea urchin, one night flecked with dashi-marinated salmon roe, and “the finisher” (quotes mine), a velvety piece of housemade soy sauce-glazed duck breast centered with foie gras and speckled with crunchy quinoa, a dish that some may find reminiscent of the foie nigiri served at Uchi, chef Masa’s home for 16 years before opening Uroko. The tamago soon follows, and as a few people from the next seating begin to hover, before you know it, your meal has ended.

The generously portioned meal breaks down to $5.50 per nigiri piece, which is generally a little more than what you’d expect to pay at Kome and a little less than what you’d pay at Uchi or other high-end sushi restaurants. The difference here is not just the portions, flavor profiles and experience — the chefs talk you through their thinking and sourcing, and you hope your dining companions have enough respect to keep their chatter non-intrusive — but also in the pacing and the courses chosen by the chefs. You will spend $65, but you’ll experience a full range of dynamic flavors and textures. And you’ll leave not just happy but also full. A testament to two chefs in full command of their brisk but expansive 45 minutes at one of the city’s best restaurants.

Phil Jankowski with homeless camping update

Wed, 06 Nov 2019 01:58:38 -0000

William Rainey looked on midday Monday as a crew of more than a dozen Texas Department of Transportation workers unloaded from multiple trucks.

Rainey was ready for them. Before sunrise, he had packed up all his belongings, mainly clothes, shoes and tools — “my whole life,” he said — ahead of the arrival of state work crews tasked with clearing out the space he’s been calling home.

“I don’t want to go back down to the woods where I was,” Rainey said as he stood next to two shopping carts filled with his personal belongings. “They run you out of there. We have no place to go.”

Within minutes, the TxDOT crew had fanned out under the overpass at West Gate Boulevard and U.S. 290 while five Texas Department of Public Safety troopers looked on. It caused a bit of a mad dash as the handful of other homeless individuals staying there scrambled to remove their belongings before they were tossed away like trash.

The area under the overpass in Southwest Austin became the first of 17 sites where TxDOT will clear encampments in coming days under orders from Gov. Greg Abbott.

“It’s a slow process and won’t be completed in one day, but steady progress is being made,” Abbott tweeted Monday. “Our goal is to make Austin safer while also providing better alternatives for the homeless.”

TxDOT will clear encampments on a weekly basis, an agency spokeswoman said. But it appears the state will not keep any members of the homeless community from returning, Austin Police Chief Brian Manley said during a briefing to a city commission Monday.

Earlier in the day about a half-mile away, Carlos Tyree slowly disassembled his camp site beneath Ben White Boulevard near Manchaca Road in quiet resignation.

Most of the people living at the South Austin camp around Tyree were prepared to move, though they had no idea to where.

The same was true of those who set up shelter in the area immediately surrounding the Austin Resource Center for the Homeless, where city staff also began enforcing camping bans on Monday.

While simultaneous, the two initiatives were not related. State enforcement resulted as TxDOT followed up on a threat to city leaders that Abbott would get involved if the city didn’t make changes to laws that affect where homeless people camp. Efforts around the ARCH were outlined by Austin City Council members last month.

But in both cases, people were being told to move and it’s unclear where they will go.

Manley told the city’s Public Safety Commission on Monday that police interacted with eight people around the ARCH who were in violation of city ordinances and voluntarily moved. In the weeks leading up to Monday’s cleanup, police contacted 156 homeless individuals living in the area of the ARCH, with about 65 identifying themselves.

Austin police said Monday’s action was part of an initiative called “Guided Path.” Police worked with the city’s Homeless Strategy Office, Front Steps, the Ending Community Homelessness Coalition and Integral Care in the effort. It had been previously planned for last week, but was canceled due to inclement weather.

Greg McCormack, executive director of Front Steps, which manages the ARCH, said the timing was not ideal. Those being pushed out of encampments throughout the city likely will be referred to the ARCH, which already is full.

McCormack said the facility’s capacity is 130 people, but in recent weeks, it has taken in closer to 150. On Monday, there were still 200 people on the waiting list to get in.

“I wish we could figure out how to work together and not have separate things going,” McCormack said of the state action.

Tyree said he understands why the city and state are trying to move people who are homeless. He said it makes Austin “look bad,” but he doesn’t have other options. He bounced from couch to couch and lived with family in the past, but he’s run out of places to stay. He said he also has no money for a state identification card to allow him access to rental units or other services. Though facing the somber reality of a forced move, he met the day with some optimism.

“Maybe there is something out there better for us,” he said.

Others however, were more defiant.

Evry Walls, 73, was still perched outside of his tent across the street from the ARCH on Monday morning. He said he would not take his shelter down himself.

“If they go in there and take it down, that’s on them. I’m not going to take it down,” he said.

Walls said he’s lived outside of the ARCH for five months, but has been struggling with homelessness for six years.

“It doesn’t really make me mad,” he said. “They’ve got a job to do. (But) I’ve got a job to do. My job is to keep living.”

Tommy Jackson, 33, said he’s been living near the ARCH for about a year and a half, and it’s the safest place for him, as opposed to living under a bridge. Since more people have been camping together, both Jackson and Tyree said they have felt a stronger sense of community with those living around them, and they’ll miss it if they are dispersed.

“These people are like my family. (They’re) people I have seen every day for a year, people I have struggled with,” Jackson said. “Where are we supposed to go? What else are we supposed to do with our backs against the wall?”

At the West Gate Boulevard overpass, volunteers with the Other Ones Foundation arrived shortly after TxDOT to help move homeless individuals’ belonging to storage for the time being.

Chris Baker, the nonprofit’s executive director, liberally used expletives as he looked at TxDOT’s efforts.

“It’s the most cowardly (expletive) thing ever,” Baker said of Abbott’s decision to bring in state agencies to clear the encampments.

The TxDOT crew coordinated with the Other Ones Foundation volunteers to identify possessions that needed to be saved and separate them from what would be tossed into large trash bins.

“I’m glad someone’s doing something,” said Matt Michaelree, a critic of Austin’s homelessness policies who said he came to the West Gate Boulevard overpass to see the removal of encampments for himself.

Aaron Aldhizer, who said he has been homeless for about one year, showed up as the TxDOT crew’s work was underway. He scrambled to grab his cot and some valuables as the crew picked through one of the last remaining piles under the highway.

“This is my home too,” Aldhizer said. “I don’t mind them coming around and cleaning. But we’re people too.”

Kirk Bohls on the NCAA ruling on athletes getting paid

Tue, 29 Oct 2019 21:40:00 -0000

The NCAA Board of Governors took the first step Tuesday toward allowing amateur athletes to cash in on their fame, voting unanimously to permit them to “benefit from the use of their name, image and likeness.”

The United States’ largest governing body for college athletics realized that it “must embrace change to provide the best possible experience for college athletes,” the board said in a news release issued after the vote at Emory University in Atlanta.

The NCAA and its member schools now must figure out how to allow athletes to profit while still maintaining rules regarding amateurism. The board asked each of the NCAA’s three divisions to create the necessary new rules beginning immediately and have them in place no later than January 2021.

BOHLS: Time for NCAA to let college athletes get their fair $hare

GOLDEN: California law was a long time coming for NCAA athletes

“The board is emphasizing that change must be consistent with the values of college sports and higher education and not turn student-athletes into employees of institutions,” said board chair Michael V. Drake.

A group of NCAA administrators has been exploring since May the ways in which athletes could be allowed to receive compensation for the use of their names, images and likenesses. The task force, led by Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith and Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman, presented a status report Tuesday to the Board of Governors, composed of university presidents.

The NCAA’s shift came a month after California passed a law that would make it illegal for NCAA schools in the state to prohibit college athletes from making money on such activities as endorsements, autograph signings and social media advertising.

California’s law goes into effect in 2023. More than a dozen states have followed with similar legislation; some are hoping to have laws in effect as soon as 2020.

The NCAA has said state laws that contradict the national governing body’s rules could lead to athletes being declared ineligible or schools not being allowed to compete.

There is also a federal bill in the works, sponsored by North Carolina Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Walker, that could prevent the NCAA and its member schools from restricting its athletes from selling the rights to their names, images and likenesses to third-party buyers on the open market.

Kelsey Bradshaw on Jared Padalecki arrest

Tue, 29 Oct 2019 21:24:40 -0000

“Supernatural” star Jared Padalecki has been accused of assaulting two employees at a downtown Austin bar he co-owns, court documents say.

Padalecki, a San Antonio native who first rose to fame in “Gilmore Girls” and now lives in Austin, has become one of the city’s most recognized celebrities in recent years. He’s been spotted around town at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, the Texas Capitol and on Sixth Street. He told fans he was humbled when Mayor Steve Adler last year had proclaimed June 23 as “Supernatural Day” in Austin. Padalecki also may star in a reboot of “Walker, Texas Ranger.”

Early Sunday, Austin police officers were flagged down by people who were with a man bleeding from his head outside of Stereotype, a bar at 510 Rio Grande St., in between West Fifth and West Sixth streets, around 2:08 a.m., an arrest affidavit says.

Others outside the bar were pointing at Padalecki saying, “Take this guy to jail,” while Padalecki appeared to officers to be intoxicated and was smiling and laughing, police said.

An officer asked Padalecki to come talk with him, but the 37-year-old said, “No, I don’t want to talk to you,” and then touched the officer’s body camera, the affidavit says.

Padalecki eventually complied with officers and sat on the bumper of a patrol vehicle.

While officers tried to sort out what happened, Padalecki touched one of them on the chest, the affidavit says.

To prevent Padalecki from touching any more officers, he was put into handcuffs and into the back of a patrol vehicle, according to the document.

Officers spoke to an assistant manager of the bar who said a verbal fight had turned physical between Padalecki and people inside the bar.

The assistant manager and other bar employees then huddled around Padalecki and escorted him out of the bar, where he started another argument, the affidavit says.

Other celebrity arrests in Austin

October 1999: Matthew McConaughey — The then-29-year-old actor was arrested at his West Austin home, where police said he was dancing naked and playing the bongo drums. Initial drug charges were dropped and he was charged only with resisting transportation, a Class A misdemeanor.

March 2014: Tyler, the Creator — The rapper was charged with inciting a riot during the South by Southwest Music Festival after he encouraged fans to push through a fence. The charge was dropped in 2016. The rapper instead pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and paid a $100 fine.

January 2016: Blac Chyna — The model and celebrity gossip fixture was charged with public intoxication and drug possession after a preflight disturbance at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The Travis County district attorney’s office dismissed the charges the following year.

August 2016: Shia LaBeouf — The actor was charged with misdemeanor public intoxication after he and two women were stopped for jaywalking and obstructing traffic on Sixth Street.

The assistant manager tried to walk back into the bar, and Padalecki tried to follow him inside.

Multiple employees tried to keep Padalecki out of the bar “because of his intoxicated behavior,” the affidavit says.

At that point, Padalecki slapped the assistant manager with his right hand and struck the employee on his upper lip with his left palm, the assistant manager told police.

The general manager of the bar was called to the establishment after the fight between the assistant manager and Padalecki. When the general manager arrived, he saw Padalecki in a physical fight with the assistant manager on the sidewalk outside of the bar, the affidavit says.

The general manager tried to separate Padalecki and the assistant manager. Padalecki tried to get into the bar by putting his hands on a doorman, but the general manager pulled him off.

“Jared fell to the ground, got up, and punched (the general manager) with a closed fist in his left eyebrow area one time,” the affidavit says.

The general manager, who said Padalecki owns Stereotype, had a 1.5-inch cut above his eyebrow with a stream of blood going down his face and neck and into his chest, the documents say.

Another Stereotype employee corroborated what the managers told police, calling Padalecki “the antagonist 100%.” Padalecki was charged with two counts of Class A misdemeanor assault with injury.

He was not in the Travis County Jail on Monday, online county records showed.

Hostage to the Heat Jeremy Schwartz and Andrea Ball

Mon, 21 Oct 2019 13:45:53 -0000

This investigation began with an attempt to learn more about heat-related deaths and emergencies in Texas as temperatures have risen over the past decade. Reporters requested reports for heat-related deaths from medical examiners’ offices across the state. Though some offices, including in Bexar, Nueces and Webb counties, were unable to fulfill requests, other offices provided 320 reports dating back to 2008.

The reports revealed a strong nexus between electricity affordability and heat deaths. In addition to numerous Texans who were found dead after refusing to run their air-conditioning units because they feared high bills, we identified several residents who had no electricity service in their homes. That led us to request power disconnection numbers from the Public Utility Commission, which regulates electricity service in the two-thirds of the state served by private companies, as well as from large municipal- and cooperative-owned utilities.

We found that from 2009 to 2018 disconnections skyrocketed among customers served by private companies. The disconnection numbers decreased among those who receive power from municipal utilities such as Austin Energy. Co-ops refused to release disconnection numbers, arguing that they are not bound by the Texas Public Information Act.

We also requested emergency calls for heat-related illnesses in major metro areas. The data revealed that each summer heat-related emergencies afflict Texans by the thousands, and particularly those in low-income and minority neighborhoods.

Among the medical examiner death records, we also identified a large number of worker deaths, including two dozen deaths on the job that were not investigated by the Occupational Safety and Health administration. Reporters learned that Texas has the largest number of worksite heat-related deaths, yet both Texas lawmakers and federal OSHA officials have refused to adopt safety measures that could prevent heat-related deaths and illnesses of workers.

Interviews with scientists and climate experts helped us understand that the increasing electricity disconnections, heat deaths and health emergencies were happening amid historic rising temperatures, hotter years than the Lone Star state has seen before. Yet no state agency is holistically examining the public health effects of rising heat or searching for solutions to mitigate the increasing toll of climate change here. And in Texas’ conservative legislature, lawmakers have largely refused to acknowledge the reality of rising heat, failing to even hold hearings on climate-related proposals during the 2019 legislative session.

In all, we submitted nearly two dozen Texas Public Information Act requests for this report, analyzed hundreds of data points and interviewed dozens of residents, utility assistance workers, consumer advocates, state and local officials and company representatives.

Colin Wallis for Austin Parks foundation Party for the Parks

Mon, 30 Sep 2019 21:51:51 -0000

Austin Parks Foundation will be presengin their 5th annual fundraiser, Party for the Parks this Wednesday, October 2 at the beautiful Republic Square Park.
This year’s fun-raiser features bites by The Peached Tortilla, tasty drinks and an interactive bar experience where guests will be able to garnish their own drinks with herbs from a Lettuce Grow Farmstand. We’ll have music by Bob Schneider + DJ Mel, and a gift card wall and a great silent auction.
Funds from Party for the Parks will help APF continue with their mission of partnering with the community to make all of our parks, trails and green spaces better through volunteerism, programming, advocacy and financial support.
Together with 500+ guests, they'll be kicking off ACL Music Festival and raising much-needed funds for our parks.

APF is expected to complete more park project redevelopments in 2019 than in any year prior because of events like this.

We also encourage Austinites to come out to ACL Music Fest this year! APF has been a partner and primary beneficiary of the Austin City Limits Music Festival. In 2018 alone, through a percentage of ticket sales, fans of ACL contributed $5.1 million.

All funding raised is put back into our beautiful parks, such as our recent playground renovations at Patterson Park and Pan American Park and into programming like our upcoming city-wide volunteer event, It’s My Park Day on November 2 and the Movies in the Park series which will continue throughout the Fall.
This year we’ll be returning to ACL presenting the Rock & Recycle program. We encourage all attendees to participate and to pick up a bag of recyclables from the grounds in exchange for a specially designed ACL Fest line-up tee.

Tickets for Party for the Parks are still available! For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.party.austinparks.org.
More about APF:

Since 1992, Austin Parks Foundation has been committed to ensuring the future of Austin’s parks, trails and green spaces. We provide resources, programming and funding to ensure access to parks for every Austinite. We create volunteer opportunities (both large and small), activation programming and even large, capital improvement projects.

Peter Blackstock on Daniel Johnston passing

Thu, 12 Sep 2019 21:50:51 -0000

Daniel Johnston, who passed out cassette tapes of his songs to fellow Austin musicians in the 1980s and eventually became renowned worldwide as a songwriter, died early Wednesday in Houston, his manager Tom Gimbel confirmed Wednesday afternoon.

Johnston had been in the hospital with kidney issues but was released Tuesday night to the assisted living facility where he had been living recently. He was found unconscious there Wednesday morning, Gimbel said.

A statement released by the family Wednesday said Johnston died of natural causes. Gimbel noted that Johnston’s health “had been touch and go for awhile” with complications from diabetes and other issues.

» From the archives: Faith, hope, ‘Fear Yourself’ and Daniel Johnston

Dick Johnston, Daniel’s older brother, said in the statement: “I always wanted Danny to feel like his own person, and in control of his own life. Since beginning to work and travel with him in about 2003, we gratefully were able to travel the entire globe for over a decade to get out before the fans. He was always, everywhere, warmly received and he at least knew he was well loved. Health issues have plagued us for years; I’m glad for the time we had.”

For years in the 1980s and 1990s, thanks to a timely clip on MTV, Johnston symbolized underground rock in Austin. His charming songs, no-fi recording style and devotion to distributing his unique music on cassette made him an indelible figure on the American margins.

Johnston also made his mark on Austin culture with the iconic “Hi, How Are You” mural at 21st and Guadalupe streets. A well-known landmark near the University of Texas and a popular spot for photos, he created it in 1993 on the exterior wall of what was then the Sound Exchange record store. The frog-like character in the mural, who also appeared on Johnston’s 1983 album of the same name, is known as “Jeremiah the Innocent.”

Born Jan. 22, 1961, in Sacramento, Calif., and raised in West Virginia, Johnston moved to Austin in the early 1980s. He was working at McDonald’s in Dobie Mall near the UT campus when he began circulating his songs within the local music community. The rudimentary recordings featured Johnston accompanying himself on instruments that included a toy organ and a simple drum machine.

Austin musician and DJ Jason Asnes was among those who got one of Johnston’s early cassettes. “When I was 18 and playing in a local band in Austin, we’d often do shows at The Beach Cabaret,” Asnes wrote in a social media post Wednesday. “Sometimes, this guy in a McDonald’s uniform would come and hand out cassettes that he made to people. At first, most thought he was a joke or a weirdo, but he kept showing up.

“Once I listened to one of his tapes, I was blown away at how good the songs were. We let him open some shows for us, as did other bands of the time. As more and more tapes got out and word started to spread, he became popular around town and later, around the world. He was always friendly and liked talking about music with strangers. We’ll miss you Daniel.”

Help came early on from Jeff Tartakov, who began managing Johnston in the mid-1980s and played a key role in circulating Johnston’s recordings far and wide. First it was Austin bands who performed his songs onstage or recorded them in the studio, including Glass Eye, the Reivers, True Believers and the Texas Instruments.

In 1985, MTV included Johnston in an Austin-focused episode of its “Cutting Edge” program. Soon, national acts became fans, including Jad Fair of Half Japanese, who recorded a 1989 album with Johnston, and members of Sonic Youth, who also collaborated with him.

After performing at the Austin Music Awards in 1990, Johnston was flying to West Virginia in a private plane with his father when he had a psychotic episode, resulting in a crash landing. They both survived, but Johnston was temporarily committed to a mental hospital. Austin Chronicle editor Louis Black wrote a story in Spin magazine that further detailed both Johnston’s art and his mental health issues.

When Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain wore one of Johnston’s “Hi, How Are You” shirts to the MTV Video Music Awards in 1992, Johnston’s fame grew exponentially. That same year, France’s Lyon Opera Ballet performed a piece by renowned choreographer Bill T. Jones that was set to Johnston’s music. Johnston painted the “Hi, How Are You” mural the next year.

In 1994, Atlantic Records released “Fun,” the lone major-label album of Johnston’s career. In an American-Statesman article that ran upon the album’s release, Johnston spoke with writer Don McLeese about his lifelong ambitions as a songwriter.

“I wanted to be famous. That was No. 1 in my mind,” Johnston said. “I wanted to be the Kenny Rogers on my block. In everything that I did, the way that I acted and what I said to people, I was thinking, ‘This is my plot to become famous. My fame will grow.’ It was wild. I flipped out about it.”

In 1995, Austin musician Kathy McCarty recorded “Dead Dog’s Eyeball,” a full album of Johnston’s songs. McCarty’s recording of Johnston’s song “Living Life” was played over the closing credits of Austin director Richard Linklater’s acclaimed film “Before Sunrise.”

“When I met Daniel and I first heard (his cassette) ‘Hi, How Are You?’,” McCarty said Wednesday, “I really felt like he was the first genuine genius I had ever personally met in my life.” She remembers offering him an opening slot for Glass Eye, then nervously consulting the rest of the band, hoping they would approve. Before a rehearsal, she played them Johnston’s tape.

“Everyone else in Glass Eye totally clicked with it and got it right away,” she said, noting that they ended up skipping the planned rehearsal. “All we did was just listen to his tape over and over again.”

In 2006, director Jeff Feuerzeig’s documentary “The Devil and Daniel Johnston” became a hit at film festivals and received a theatrical release. “To my ears as a young music geek,” Feuerzeig said in a statement Wednesday, “Daniel was absolutely in the pantheon of great songwriters, with Lou Reed and Bob Dylan.

“He was a songwriter’s songwriter and an artist’s artist. His visual art was as powerful as his songs. I was lucky to commune with him. Making that movie took about four or five years of my life and it was the best chapter of my entire life.”

In 2009, Oscar-winning songwriter Glen Hansard’s band Swell Season brought Johnston onstage with a children’s choir to sing one of his songs on “Austin City Limits.”

Johnston’s best-known and most enduring song is “True Love Will Find You in the End,” which initially appeared on his 1984 cassette “Retired Boxer.” Among those who covered it over the years were Grammy winners Beck and Wilco. Beck’s version was featured on the 2004 tribute album “The Late Great Daniel Johnston: Discovered Covered,” which also included versions of songs by artists including Tom Waits, the Flaming Lips, Bright Eyes, M. Ward and Mercury Rev.

Johnston’s last national tour was in the fall of 2017. He played in cities across the country with different bands made up of notable musicians in each city, including the Preservation Hall Jazz Band in New Orleans, Built to Spill in the Pacific Northwest and Fugazi in Washington, D.C.

“I just feel really privileged to have had the chance to work with him,” said Gimbel, speaking from Nashville where he’d just arrived for Wednesday evening’s Americana Music Awards. “I think he’s one of the greatest geniuses of our time.” Gimbel said he expects an Austin memorial concert for Johnston may be organized in the near future.

Austin bassist and producer Brian Beattie, who met Johnston in the 1980s when he and McCarty performed Johnston’s songs in Glass Eye, recorded Johnston many times over the decades. He has been working in recent years on recordings he’d made with Johnston that have not yet been released.

“Everyone he collaborated with felt like they were sprinkled with stardust,” Beattie said Wednesday. “There was something very special about being with him.”

One of Johnston’s last musical performances in Austin came on his 57th birthday, when he appeared as part of the first Hi, How Are You Day at the Mohawk. Austin Mayor Steve Adler read a city resolution recognizing the day as an occasion for awareness about mental illness. The evening closed with many of those who’d performed Johnston’s songs throughout the event joining him onstage for “True Love Will Find You in the End.”

Mathew Odam thai and El Patio

Thu, 12 Sep 2019 21:28:21 -0000

Charles Attal knew within a minute of hearing the news from his cousin that something had to be done.

Kristyn Ciani, granddaughter of El Patio founders Paul and MaryAnn Joseph and daughter of longtime El Patio employee Roseann Joseph-Ciani, had alerted Attal that her uncle David had decided to close the restaurant his parents opened in 1954.

“We have to save it,” Attal, a co-founder of C3 Presents, told his cousin.

Ciani had supported her uncle in his decision to close the restaurant after four decades and never imagined she would have the opportunity to continue the family legacy. The call from Attal, who is also a partner in Stubb’s BBQ, changed all that.

And a visit to the restaurant and a glimpse of the seemingly endless lines of people saying farewell to the Tex-Mex institution, which closed Aug. 9, reaffirmed their decision.

The next generation of family formed a group that included Ciani, Attal,his sister Jennifer Attal-Allen, her son Sled Allen and Sway and La Condesa founder Jesse Herman to reopen the business, which has been in the family for 65 years.

“It’s literally in my blood,” Kristyn Ciani said. “I never thought I would have been able to be a part of something so cool like this.”

El Patio will reopen at 2938 Guadalupe St. by the end of September, the family said.

“Our roots run deep in Austin, back to the late 1800s,” said Jennifer Attal-Allen, whose grandmother was a half-sister of El Patio co-founder Paul Joseph. “Family is everything to us. So to now, along with my brother, son, and cousin, be able to continue this tradition Uncle Paul and Aunt MaryAnn started, means more than I’m able to put into words. It’s especially a very proud moment for me personally, that the next generation who is stepping up includes my son, Sled.”

When longtime guests return to visit El Patio, they will see familiar faces and familiar dishes. The staff from both front and back of house is returning to the restaurant, some of whom have worked at El Patio for more than 35 years. The menu will remain the same, though the bar will expand with additional drink offerings. The new owners say they have no intention of messing with the heart and formula of what made their family restaurant such a treasured institution.

“Jennifer and I grew up in that restaurant, so it’s an honor to be a part of something that now my own kids can grow up in,” Charles Attal said. “We will continue to bestow the same respect upon it that David and the rest of our cousins have since day one.”

El Patio will be open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday.

H.E.B. takeover of Tarrytown Randalls

Wed, 11 Sep 2019 15:08:51 -0000

University of Texas System regents voted unanimously Tuesday to authorize the system’s staff to negotiate a lease with grocery company H-E-B for 2.6 acres on the UT-owned Brackenridge Tract in West Austin. The parcel at the intersection of Lake Austin and Exposition boulevards has been leased by Randalls for a grocery store since 1977.

The university sought proposals and bids last year for leasing the parcel and a nearby half-acre parcel occupied by a 7-Eleven convenience store, as the leases on those parcels are scheduled to expire May 30 and May 31, respectively. The regents authorized negotiations to renew the lease with 7-Eleven, and financial terms with that company and H-E-B were not disclosed given that negotiations have not been completed.

“H-E-B is thrilled to be awarded the opportunity to bring a long-awaited store to West Austin at 715 Exposition Blvd.,” the company said Wednesday in a statement provided by spokeswoman Leslie Sweet. “The process now begins to engage with the city of Austin, University of Texas, community leaders and neighbors to ensure we provide our future customers with a state-of-the-art shopping experience that will be a welcome addition to the West Austin community.”

The company did not elaborate. Nor did it say whether it plans to build a new store or occupy the existing one, although the former seems more likely.

Lease proceeds benefit the UT-Austin campus.

Muny and Red River

In other action, the regents agreed to extend the city of Austin’s lease on 141 acres of the 350-acre Brackenridge Tract for operating Lions Municipal Golf Course, also known as Muny, by a year, to May 25, 2020. The same extension was approved for the Brackenridge Development Agreement with the city, which established building standards for commercial development on other portions of the tract.

The regents also voted to work out an agreement with the city to straighten portions of Red River Street through campus to accommodate construction of a new arena for basketball games, concerts and other events. That move also will make way for expansion of the Dell Medical School when UT tears down its existing multipurpose arena, the Erwin Center.

The regents’ actions regarding Red River Street, Muny and the development agreement were expected since the Austin City Council approved its end of the bargain on those matters Feb. 7.

The regents also firmed up plans to construct a new, $40.4 million building at UT’s Applied Research Laboratories in North Austin. The three-story building, with office and work space, will be adjacent to and connected with the existing building. The laboratories, at UT’s Pickle Research Campus, conduct extensive research for the federal government, including work in acoustics and sonar for the Navy.

And UT’s athletics director, Chris Del Conte, will get a $200,000 annual raise as a result of a consent agenda item approved by the regents. The length of his contract, which runs through the 2023-24 athletic year, was not changed. With the raise, his base pay for the current athletic year is $1.54 million.

Kara Carlson tech writer on Aftershokz headphone co relocating to Austin

Wed, 11 Sep 2019 14:57:37 -0000

Aftershokz, a New York-based company that makes premium sports headphones, is relocating its headquarters to Austin with plans to add dozens of employees.

The company specializes in making headphones geared for active lifestyles using bone conduction technology. It is moving from Syracuse, where it was founded in 2011 with the idea of bringing the technology, originally designed for the Chinese military, to the American commercial headphones market.

Kimberly Fassetta, AfterShokz chief marketing officer, said she hopes the move to Austin will help continue the company’s growth. She said Austin’s energy, culture, talent pool and community of technology and active lifestyle brands were draws.

“It’s a tech hub, it’s an outdoor lifestyle city and there’s lots of growth here and lots of talent,” said Jayme Schwartz, the company’s vice president of marketing and communications. “We want to take the next step in our growth and be a part of that.”

Bone conduction headphones sit on the outside of a user’s ears and absorb sound by vibrations through the inner ear rather than through the eardrums like traditional headphones. The idea is to increase safety and improve communications in active environments, such as while running or biking, by allowing the user to hear both the headphone sounds and other sounds around them.

“We’re all about staying connected to music and phone calls, but also your general surroundings,” Schwartz said.

AfterShokz owns more than 200 patents for the technology, making it the only true bone conduction headphone maker in the American market. It sold more than 1.5 million headphones last year between Amazon and local retail stores, according to the company.

AfterShokz has been moving employees into Austin for the past few weeks, temporarily working out of WeWork University Park, but the company has plans to take up two floors of Domain Place by March 2020. Eleven, or about a quarter of its Syracuse employees, will remain with the company through the relocation. The company plans to scale up to 40 employees with local hires by the end of the year. By 2021 the goal is to grow to 85 employees.

Most of the positions hired will be in sales, marketing and customer support positions.

“We are looking for Austin local talent,” Fassetta said. “Already the people that we’ve met and talked to have been incredible. It’s a much different pool than in Syracuse.”

Kelsey Bradshaw on Austin requiring Geofencing for scooter companies

Tue, 10 Sep 2019 14:12:51 -0000

Rental scooter riders will be automatically slowed down with the use of GPS technology called geofencing when they enter trails that are off-limits to the devices starting Friday, Austin Parks and Recreation Department officials said.

Officials with the Parks and Recreation Department, Public Works and the Austin Transportation Department mapped out where geofencing was needed and sent that information to the scooter rental companies, said Amanda Ross, Austin Parks and Recreation Department division manager for natural resources.

The companies set up their devices to automatically slow down in the mapped-out areas, she said.

Prohibited areas include those that are not part of a city pilot program, which allows scooters and electric bikes on some trails. When riders enter a geofenced trail, their scooters will automatically be slowed down to 8 mph and they will receive a notification on their cellphones that they’ve entered an unauthorized area, officials said. The speed limit for scooters on allowed trails is 10 mph.

Electric bikes and scooters have been allowed on the trails along Johnson Creek, Shoal Creek south of 15th Street, Northern Walnut Creek and Southern Walnut Creek since January as part of a city pilot program. More than 9,000 scooters are in use in Austin, according to the city.

“As part of the pilot program, we’re also talking about enforcement capabilities and, honestly, we can’t be everywhere at all times,” Ross said. ”(The geofencing) is just a tool to communicate the best locations and most appropriate ways to use them on parkland.”

Scooters are not allowed on trails outside of those in the pilot program, while electric bikes can be used along Lady Bird Lake on the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail and the Lady Bird Lake boardwalk and on trails that do not have a natural surface, like pavement or decomposed granite. Rental electric bikes also will be slowed to 8 mph on natural soil trails, Ross aid.

Scooter users will be able to use roads to get to Zilker Park, for example, but will be slowed if they try to ride across one of the trails near the park, she said.

“It’s not that we want to discourage scooter use. If someone wants to ride a scooter to a park and then stay on a park road, they are very much welcome to do so,” Ross said.

Geofencing already has been implemented on the University of Texas campus. In March, the university announced that scooters from Bird, Jump, Lime and Lyft would be limited to 8 mph in zones that make up most of its main campus.

The speed limit for areas outside of the zones is 15 mph.

Joe Gross with details on Mathew Mcconaughey becoming a professor at UT

Thu, 29 Aug 2019 21:41:32 -0000

The University of Texas has a new professor with a familiar face: Matthew McConaughey.

The Moody College of Communication announced Wednesday that McConaughey has been appointed as a professor of practice to the Department of Radio-Television-Film faculty, starting this fall term. The actor and Austin icon has served as a visiting instructor since 2015, when he began co-teaching the “Script to Screen” film production class with faculty member and director Scott Rice.

The man who gifted the world with the catchphrase “alright, alright, alright” in 1993 film “Dazed and Confused” developed the UT course’s curriculum, which provides a “behind-the-scenes view of each stage of a film’s production,” according to the university.

McConaughey earned a film degree from UT in 1993. He picked up an Academy Award for his role in 2013 film “Dallas Buyers Club.” According to the university, he has appeared in more than 50 films; some memorable credits include “A Time to Kill” and “The Wolf of Wall Street.” He starred in this year’s “The Beach Bum,” which premiered at South by Southwest in March. McConaughey also turned in a tour de force performance in HBO TV series “True Detective.”

Ken Herman on Cedric Benson being buried in the Texas State Cemetery

Thu, 29 Aug 2019 13:40:30 -0000

How you feel about Cedric Benson being buried at the Texas State Cemetery with Stephen F. Austin, 14 Texas governors and four Medal of Honor recipients probably is directly related to how you feel about sports.

I’m going to shirk my constitutional duty as a columnist to tell you what to think about this. I’ll offer some data and encourage you to think about it.

Let’s be clear that I categorize myself as a big sports fan who sometimes has twinges and pangs about how big sports has become in our society. Things and people spark those twinges and pangs. Things like point spreads on NFL preseason games. People like Indianapolis Colts fans who booed Colts quarterback Andrew Luck as he left the field Saturday night after word spread that he was retiring.

So do sports figures belong in the Texas State Cemetery? It’s a hallowed ground that proudly and properly bills itself as “the final resting place of governors, senators, legislators, congressmen, judges and other legendary Texans who have made the state what it is today.”

Here’s what one reader asked: “So, how does being a football star qualify someone to be buried in the Texas State Cemetery?”

The reader asked for anonymity because “Football is the No. 1 religion in Texas and the U.S. and, as a retired minister, I wouldn’t want to appear to be anti-religious. I do wonder, however, why being a football star entitles someone to burial with former governors and other state big-wigs?”

The rules for qualifying for the honor of State Cemetery burial are simple, though not without a subjective component. Automatic eligibility goes to legislators, elected state officials and appointed state officials who won Senate confirmation and served at least 10 years in office. People also can get in via gubernatorial proclamation or legislative resolution OK’d by the three-member, gubernatorially appointed cemetery committee, now chaired by Benjamin Hanson of Austin.

The committee also can approve people for Texas State Cemetery burial, the rules say, if it “finds that the person made a significant contribution to Texas history and culture in the following fields: air and space, agriculture, art and design, business and labor, city building, education, governmental service, industry, justice, military affairs, law enforcement, oil and gas, performing arts, philanthropy, public administration, ranching, religion, science and medicine, sports and writing.”

It’s a statement broad enough to allow for consideration of a variety of worthy Texans. Benson’s significant contribution to Texas history and culture? He was the star running back on a Midland Lee High School team that won three state titles, he had four years at the University of Texas that made him the school’s second-leading, all-time ground gainer, and he spent eight years in the NFL.

Again, I’ll let you decide if you think his too-short life of 36 years qualified him for the Texas State Cemetery. There’s no need to delve here into his brushes with the law. Benson was buried Monday near other sports figures and the small temporary marker where former UT President Bill Powers recently was interred.

Also buried near Benson are James Street, quarterback of the 1969 UT national champs and an All-America baseball pitcher, and Johnny “Lam” Jones, who in addition to his UT football career was a gold medalist at the 1976 Olympics on the 400-meter relay team. Former UT football Coach Darrell Royal and former UT baseball Coach Augie Garrido also are buried near Benson. There’s also former longtime Major League Baseball player and manager Don Baylor and Willie Wells, a Negro Leagues baseball star.

Sports-related, there’s also Wally Pryor, whose headstone calls him “The Voice of the University of Texas Longhorns.” The cemetery has a monument for Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry, but he’s buried in Dallas.

The cemetery committee also handles advance requests for burial plots. The list of those precleared has several sports figures, including longtime sportscaster Verne Lundquist, golfer Ben Crenshaw, former UT women’s hoops coach Jody Conradt, former UT athletic director DeLoss Dodds, former longtime UT sports information director Bill Little and former Texas A&M University football coach and Regent Gene Stallings. My apologies if I’ve missed others.

(Lundquist is among those who’ve had a headstone placed while still alive to enjoy it. His includes some of his memorable calls, including “Yes sir!” when Jack Nicklaus won the 1986 Masters.)

A few other names you might recognize on the cemetery’s precleared list: Larry Gatlin, Ken Starr, Karl Rove, Jerry Jeff Walker and Dan Rather.

Rather is not the only journalist who has passed cemetery committee muster. Already interred in the Texas State Cemetery are longtime Capitol correspondents Bo Byers of the Houston Chronicle and Jack Keever of the Associated Press.

Living journalists on the precleared list include Dave Montgomery of Austin and former American-Statesman cartoonist Ben Sargent and his wife, Diane Holloway, this paper’s former TV beat reporter. Both, appropriately, have reservations in the cemetery Statesman’s Meadow section, which probably is not named for my favorite local daily newspaper.

Sargent is a Pulitzer Prize winner, as is local author Lawrence Wright, who’s on the cemetery’s precleared list. Ken Towery, who won a 1956 Pulitzer for the Cuero Daily Record, was buried in the Texas State Cemetery in 2016.

Sargent told me he didn’t inquire about it “until I retired from the active-journalist ranks.” He said state Sen. Kirk Watson, D-Austin, “helped me through the process, which at one point stalled for several years because the people on the pertinent committee were not fans of my work.”

Many of you will recall that Sargent made a habit and career out of drawing pointed little pictures about politicians. When opposition to allowing him in came up, Sargent recalls asking Watson, “Really? About a quarter of the guys out there were engaged in an illegal, unconstitutional armed insurrection against the United States, and I’m not good enough to get in?”

“But patience prevailed, and this is one thing we can check off the list,” Sargent told me.

There are 1,816 Confederate veterans buried in the State Cemetery.

Montgomery, who now freelances for The New York Times and other publications, told me he and wife, Linda, applied so they can be buried near her parents, Kyle and Vivian Thompson. Kyle Thompson was a longtime Texas journalist and press secretary. More significantly, during World War II he was part of the “Lost Battalion” captured by the Japanese and held for 42 months.

The Cemetery Committee also has approved former Texas Monthly Publisher Mike Levy, who I watched laid to rest in the State Cemetery in 2016. Oh, he’s still quite alive. But, because he’s Levy, he graciously (and enthusiastically) agreed to pose, prone, in front of his headstone so I could shoot a photo. He looked good there.

Did Benson deserve the honor of burial in the Texas State Cemetery? It’s a judgment call. Hanson, the committee chairman, told me Tuesday he, as part of what he sees as the responsibility to let Texans know of potential State Cemetery burial availability, contacted Benson’s family. After the family expressed interest, Hanson said, the committee, in a decision that will have to be ratified in a formal meeting, unanimously decided on Aug. 20 that Benson qualified. Jackqueline Benson, the late football star’s mom, now also is approved for State Cemetery burial.

Like all three committee members, Hanson is a UT alum, though he says he grew up as an Oklahoma University fan. Hanson cited Benson’s contributions both in sports and philanthropy, mentioning Benson’s foundation’s efforts in repairing the home of a victim of the 2018 bombings in Austin.

Is Hanson worried that we don’t yet know all the circumstances of Benson’s death? Hanson said the decision was based on broader criteria, not just “what caused the death or the demons he had to deal with.”

“You look at the full history of the man,” he said.

Larvin Jefferson agrees. I ran into the Huston-Tillotson University worker Monday at the cemetery a few hours after the private burial service for Benson.

“He was a good example to many people,” Jefferson, 56, told me as we stood at the flower-covered grave. “Sad that he had to go, yeah. But we all have to accept that, that sacrifice. Part of the sacrifice is giving up the earthly life and going back where we came from.”

And Jefferson wondered aloud about the high points in Benson’s life. Jefferson is a sports fan. “If I could just come out of that tunnel wearing an orange and white jersey,” he said. “That would make my day.”

“Unfortunately,” Jefferson said, “on that Saturday night when he went out, he didn’t know what was around the corner.”

We both agreed none of us ever do.

With tailgating season ahead, here's the scoop on Franklin BBQ's new pits

Wed, 28 Aug 2019 13:29:57 -0000

Franklin Barbecue owners Aaron and Stacy Franklin are serious about helping home cooks make better barbecue. (And steaks.)

After two cookbooks, the Franklins are now launching a line of barbecue pits that will go on sale this fall. The East Austin restaurant released a photo on Monday of what they say is the last prototype before the pit goes into production in coming weeks.

The off-set smoker will be made in Austin and constructed with 1/4-inch steel, but they haven’t said how much it will cost or will it will officially go on sale. You can sign up for updates through franklinbbqpits.com, but if you want a chance to buy the pit in the photo, you can bid on it through the Les Dames de Escoffier, which is hosting an event called You Grill Girl on Sept. 5 at Franklin Barbecue.

There’s no better time to try making ceviche at home than when it’s the dead of summer, that lovely season when it’s too hot and dry to grill, ERCOT sends out alerts to reduce energy consumption at 4 p.m. and it still doesn’t get dark until after 8.

In an attempt to escape the Texas heat, I headed to Playa del Carmen a few weeks ago for one last vacation before the school year began. I expected to find plenty of fish dishes, but I didn’t expect to find restaurants serving ceviche, aguachiles and cocteles by the kilo.

We ate these no-cook fish dishes nearly every day of the trip, some barely soaked in lime juice and served in a giant molcajete and others served on a shallow plate and in a spicier marinade.

The kinds of ceviches in the Yucatán are only a slice of what’s served throughout Central and Latin America, where you’ll find endless mixtures of fish (and shellfish, octopus and other seafoods) “cooked” in citrus juice and tossed with other ingredients, from the Peruvian tiradito to the ketchup-based campechana from the Mexican state of Campeche.

“And I like them all,” says Fonda San Miguel executive chef Caesar Ortiz.

Ortiz grew up eating ceviche in El Paso that tastes a lot like the ceviche he serves at Fonda San Miguel, the venerable Austin restaurant that opened in 1976: a traditional mix of tomatoes, jalapenos or serranos, cilantro, lime juice and chopped fish, usually drum.

It wasn’t until he went to San Antonio during the summers to stay with his aunt and uncle that he started trying different varieties, including campechana: a mix of shrimp, fish and oysters served in a liquid made with lime juice, clam juice, oyster juice and ketchup.

Then, a family trip to Mazatlán for Thanksgiving when he was in high school introduced him to aguachile, the freshest of the ceviches that is popular in Sinaloa and other coastal regions of Mexico.

“We went deep-sea fishing with my grandfather and uncles and had right-out-of-the-ocean butchered fish mixed with lime juice and chiles,” he says. “It was a truly raw preparation with acid, salt and heat, and that’s when I realized that I like this much better than anything else.”

To this day, Ortiz prefers a lightly cured ceviche, especially an aguachile, over sushi or poke, the Hawaiian raw fish dish that has become popular in the continental U.S. in recent years.

“That’s the beauty of ceviche,” he says. “If you have access to super fresh seafood, you can simply chop it up and squeeze lime juice on it and eat it instantly.”

Peruvian-style ceviche is one of the less-cooked styles, and it’s usually served with leche de tigre, or a mix of pureed aji amarillo with lime juice and maybe some lemon juice or clam juice.

In many regions of Central and Latin America, you’ll find dishes that were influenced by Japanese and Chinese cooks who moved to the region for jobs or to avoid wars. That’s why many aguachiles have soy sauce or sesame oil and why the Peruvian tiradito often includes wasabi or pepper puree.

The fish, shrimp and shellfish dishes with tomato-based sauces have traditionally been used to cure hangovers, not unlike a bloody mary or a michelada, and some cevicherias will serve a coctel with beer, lime juice, ketchup and Clamato in a salt-and-shrimp-rimmed glass. (One regional specialty from Veracruz is called Vuelve a la Vida, or “return to life.”)

Ortiz says that when you’re making ceviche at home, start with the freshest fish you can find, from snapper or drum to flounder, salmon or tuna. Because the citrus juice doesn’t technically cook the seafood, make sure you’re using sushi grade, and don’t use freshwater fish, such as tilapia or catfish. To prepare the fish, all you have to do is remove the skin and cut the fish into small cubes or thin slices. Some cooks like to salt the fish, shrimp or scallops first to season the meat before tossing in the marinade.

Shrimp is also a good choice, but avoid the previously frozen ones that have already been soaked in salt water. You can also use squid or octopus, but skip the scallops that are sold in a milky liquid; dry-packed scallops are more expensive, but they aren’t treated with chemicals or a brine.

For the marinade, use freshly squeezed lime juice for the majority of the liquid, but you can also add a little lemon or orange juice for sweetness. Some regional variations call for a little olive oil or vinegar, but don’t use balsamic or another concentrated vinegar. Aguachile means “chile water,” and to achieve the desired spiciness, you can soak the seafood mixture with sliced chiles or you could crush the chiles with lime juice and a little water in a molcajete or a mortar and pestle to add to the marinade.

Once you combine the seafood and the marinade, refrigerate the mixture for just a few minutes or up to several hours, depending on how “cooked” or cured you prefer the dish.

Inspired by some of the restaurants we enjoyed in the Yucatan, I’ve been adding avocado and cucumber to the ceviches I’ve tried making at home, including an aguachile made with tuna, sesame oil and soy sauce. Almost every restaurant we went to in Playa del Carmen served ceviche with homemade totopos, or corn tortilla chips that were as thick as tostadas. A thicker chip is better, but in many places, it’s customary to serve ceviches, coctels and the like with saltine crackers.

Oddly, that’s what was always served with the shrimp cocktails I grew up eating, even though we were so far from the ceviches of El Paso and Juarez that were familiar to Ortiz.

“That’s what makes ceviche so great,” he says. “There are just so many ways to make it.”

Ceviche

Don’t use freshwater fish for ceviche, including tilapia or catfish. Everything else is up to you, just make sure the seafood is fresh. I like to add avocados and cucumbers, and you can use a store-bought pico de gallo.

— Addie Broyles

1 pound mix of white fish, tuna, salmon, shrimp, scallops or octopus, cut into small-to-medium cubes

1/2 cup fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 cup sliced cucumber (optional)

1/2 avocado, cubed (optional)

1/2 cup cubed tomatoes

1/4 cup diced or sliced white or red onion

1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Salt, to taste

Chips or tostadas, for serving

Mix the seafood with the lime and lemon juice in a nonreactive bowl. Let sit for at least 30 minutes or up to two hours. Add the cucumber and avocado, if using, tomatoes, onion and cilantro. Season to taste with salt. Let sit for another 15 minutes and then serve with the chips or tostadas.

Scallop Aquachile With Tomato-Habanero Water and Gooseberries

Aguachile is a ceviche traditionally made in the Mexican state of Sinaloa with fresh raw shrimp, cucumber, red onion, lime juice and chiles, and it’s a great summer dish to enjoy with a cold beer and a wedge of lime. It isn’t exactly a Tex-Mex dish, but my family made a version of it: We would take the liquid from a bowl of pico de gallo and pour it over raw shrimp. At Bar Amá, we make with it with scallops during tomato season. The kitchen makes tomato water from fresh tomatoes and habanero chiles and pours that and lime juice over raw scallops, pickled gooseberries, cucumbers and shallots. Aguachile is traditionally served immediately, without marinating, but if you want the acid in the lime juice and vinegar to slightly “cook” the seafood, you can marinate it for a bit. Pineapple and banana vinegars are available at some gourmet shops and online, such as at the Rancho Gordo website. We serve this dish with pickled gooseberries, which can be hard to find in some places. Just leave them out if you can’t easily find them.

— Josef Centeno

For tomato-habanero water:

1 pound cherry tomatoes

1 shallot, chopped

1 large garlic clove

1 habanero chile, stemmed and seeded

1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

10 fresh basil leaves

3 tablespoons pineapple vinegar or distilled white vinegar

1 tablespoon fine sea salt

12 ounces sea scallops (about 12), side muscle removed

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1/2 lemon cucumber, thinly sliced

12 pickled gooseberries (recipe follows), halved (optional)

1 shallot, thinly sliced into rings

1 serrano or jalapeño, stemmed, thinly sliced into rings, and seeded

Finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling

Flaky sea salt and fresh black pepper

Line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth and set it over a large bowl. Make the tomato-habanero water: Combine the tomatoes, shallot, garlic, habanero, cilantro, basil, vinegar and fine sea salt in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer the mixture to the prepared sieve. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 4. (Do not stir or press on the solids, or the tomato water will be cloudy.) Discard the solids, cover the tomato water and refrigerate until ready to use.

Cut each scallop crosswise into thirds so that you have three thin, round slices. Put the scallops in a medium bowl and pour over the lime juice and tomato water. Serve immediately, or if you wish, marinate the scallops for 1 to 3 hours in the refrigerator.

To serve, divide the scallops and the juice and tomato water among 4 to 6 shallow bowls. Add the cucumber, and arrange the scallop and cucumber slices attractively. Top with the pickled gooseberry halves, if using, shallot and chile. Garnish with cilantro leaves and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with flaky sea salt and a grind of fresh black pepper and serve. Serves 4 to 6.

Pickled Gooseberries

Found at farmers markets and in sunny backyards, Cape gooseberries have a sweet-tart flavor, which tastes like a combination of cherry tomato, pineapple, mango and Meyer lemon. Like tomatillos, they have a husk you have to remove before using. They’re a good match with pickling spices — here, a little coriander, star anise, allspice and pepper. And the pickling process really works its magic on the gooseberries, rounding out their tartness. Add these as a puckery condiment to salads, ceviches, and roasted and grilled meats — anything that could use a little fruity acidity.

— Josef Centeno

1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds

3 whole allspice

1 star anise

1 teaspoon black peppercorns

1/3 cup Champagne vinegar

1/3 cup water

1/3 cup sugar

A few fresh cilantro leaves

Pinch of fine sea salt

2 cups gooseberries, husked and halved

In a small, dry skillet, toast the coriander, allspice, star anise and black peppercorns over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they begin to release their oils and are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Set aside.

Combine the vinegar, water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the spices and set the mixture aside to cool to room temperature.

Put the halved gooseberries in a container. When the vinegar mixture is cool, pour it over the gooseberries. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Makes 4 cups.

Bob Sechler on Aspire Food Group edible crickets

Wed, 28 Aug 2019 13:13:36 -0000

It turns out Texans have a big appetite for bugs.

Beginning this fall, up to 100 H-E-B grocery stores will designate shelf space for cricket-based crispy snacks and protein bars made by Austin-based Aspire Food Group, on the heels of a test of demand for them that the grocer initiated in February using temporary display cases.

“The anticipation was that these things would sell out in about a month or six weeks, and they did that in half that time” and prompted multiple reorders, said Yvan Cournoyer, H-E-B’s business development manager. “The test proved very successful.”

Cournoyer described the snacks and protein bars -- which Aspire sells under the brand name “Exo” in flavors such as nutty chocolate chip and Texas barbecue -- as still “a niche for sure.” But he said they logged an impressive rate of repeat purchases from customers who tried them during the test, demonstrating the potential to grow in popularity.

They’ll be stocked on permanent H-E-B shelves by early November, most likely in the healthy-living departments of the grocery stores that will carry them, Cournoyer said. More than half of the stores are in Austin and the surrounding metro area, although some also are in Houston and San Antonio.

The move marks a major development for Aspire, as well as for the fledgling U.S. edible insect movement overall. Insects are standard human fare in many countries worldwide but constitute only a tiny slice of food purchases in the United States, where sales have come predominantly through specialty restaurants and small retail shops catering to people with specific cultural backgrounds or ethical concerns, rather than through large, general-purpose grocery chains.

“If you can succeed in a conventional grocer, that is a big deal,” said Mohammed Ashour, co-founder and chief executive of Aspire, which up until now has been generating most of its sales online. “This is huge for us.”

Neither Cournoyer nor Ashour disclosed the size of H-E-B’s planned orders as the San Antonio-based grocer gears up to stock them on permanent shelves. H-E-B spent $50,000 when it initiated the sales test in February, and Cournoyer said it ended up at least doubling that on subsequent reorders, although he declined to release a precise figure.

Aspire, a five-year-old startup, is in the midst of a fund-raising round that it expects to close by the beginning of October, with the aim of using the money to build a commercial-scale indoor cricket farm. The company currently operates what it considers a prototype indoor farm in a 25,000-square-foot warehouse a few miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, where it can harvest about 100,000 pounds of crickets a year -- or 100 million individual crickets -- at peak capacity.

The commercial-scale facility will be capable of producing more than 50 times the amount of crickets as the current operation, according to the company. It is considering building the commercial indoor farm in Austin, Ashour said, although he noted that two other locations that he declined to name also are in the running.

Advocates of insect consumption herald crickets as nutritious and able to be produced in large quantities with fewer harmful emissions and with much smaller amounts of land, water and other resources than identical weights of conventional animal protein, such as beef, pork or chicken.

Addie Broyles with easy dinner ideas for the family

Fri, 23 Aug 2019 16:58:40 -0000

Even if you don’t have kids headed back to school, the end of summer feels like a second new year.

Vacations are winding down, fall projects are cranking up, and the holiday season will be here before we know it. Unlike the beginning of the year, we don’t tend to set eating and cooking resolutions in August, but it is a time to restock the pantry, fridge and freezer and dig up a few new recipes to add to our cooking routines.

We’ve gathered seven weeknight dinner recipes here, but you could also head to the library to check out some new cookbooks or go through your recipe clippings or those food magazines by the couch. Use sticky notes to flag the dishes that look interesting or snap a photo of the page with your phone. If you use a grocery shopping app, compile the ingredients you’ll need, or make an old-fashioned paper grocery list.

Carve out some time on a Sunday to make a loose meal plan for the week ahead or batch-cook some proteins or vegetables to use in several meals in the days ahead. You could also try out one of the curbside or grocery delivery services, if you are particularly pressed for time. I like to keep track of the new(ish) meals I make that my kids love, usually on a piece of paper on the fridge, and when I’m short on meal ideas, I can reference this list of past hits.

Even with the unrelenting heat outside, it’s hard to avoid using my oven altogether, but I try to stick with quick-cooking pizzas, nachos and roasted vegetables, such as the recipes included here. There will be plenty of time for lasagnas, baked potatoes and roasts once fall finally arrives.

The World’s Best Sloppy Joe Burger in the History of the World

My father is from Sioux City, Iowa, so I grew up on loose-meat sandwiches and sloppy Joes like the kind they serve at Tastee Inn & Out. You can make your own with a mix of ground meats, and though tomato paste is ideal, you can use ketchup in a pinch.

— Christian Stevenson

1 pound ground beef, turkey or pork

Olive oil or vegetable oil, for frying

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon brown sugar

Splash of Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon cider vinegar or white wine vinegar

1 tablespoon English mustard

1/2 beef stock cube, to crumble in

Sea salt and black pepper

6 to 8 soft white buns

Pickles, sliced (optional)

Remove the meat from the fridge and then heat up a large saucepan over medium-high heat on the stove. Drizzle some oil into the pan, then brown the meat. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside in a bowl. (Don’t drain off any excess fat.) Add a little more oil to the pan, if needed, and saute the onion and garlic until softened.

Now add the beef back in with the rest of the ingredients. Slowly stir and cook on a simmer for at the very least 20 minutes. The longer you cook this, the better. Sloppy Joe sandwiches always taste better the next day, so you could batch-cook the filling and eat it through the week, or even freeze some for another time.

Spoon filling onto the bottom bun, top with a pickle and the bun lid. Sloppy Joes work well when the meat isn’t piled on too thick, as the wetness can overcome the bun and destroy it before you have finished. Less is more in the sloppy Joe bun. Makes 6 to 8 burgers.

Chickpea and Butternut Squash Tacos

These simple, budget-friendly tacos work just as well for Meatless Monday as Taco Tuesday. You’ll fall in love with the combination of crispy chickpeas and creamy butternut squash.

— Laura Fuentes

1 tablespoon taco seasoning

3 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 to 2 limes), divided

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon water

1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1 pound diced butternut squash, thawed if frozen

1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

8 corn tortillas, warmed

1 cup finely chopped red cabbage

1 jalapeño, seeded and sliced

1 large avocado, pitted, peeled and diced

1 lime, cut into wedges

Heat the oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the taco seasoning, 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, olive oil and water. Add the chickpeas and squash cubes and toss to coat well.

Transfer the seasoned chickpeas and squash to the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are slightly crispy and the squash is tender.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice and cilantro. Stir well. Season with salt and pepper.

To assemble each taco, start with a bed of cabbage, top with roasted chickpeas, squash, jalapeños and avocado, and drizzle some cilantro-lime sauce on top. Serve with additional lime wedges. Serves 4.

Korean Glass Noodle and Vegetable Stir-Fry

This stir-fry from Marja Vongerichten uses glass noodles and a garden’s worth of produce, including tricolor bell peppers, green beans, snow peas, carrots, mushrooms, edamame and spinach. Much of the flavor comes from a quick sauce she makes from soy sauce, honey, garlic and sesame seeds. I took major liberties with the sauce, swapping in liquid or coconut aminos for the soy sauce, which is far higher in sodium. The recipe is amenable to other substitutions and adaptations, too: You could use broccoli or cauliflower instead of green beans, kale or collard greens instead of spinach, and so on. You could include fewer vegetables, it’s true, but do me a favor and make sure to include more than one variety.

The noodles can be found in Asian supermarkets and in many well-stocked grocery stores. If you can’t find them, use thin rice vermicelli or any other favorite noodle.

— Joe Yonan

1 pound Korean glass/cellophane noodles (dangmyeon)

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, plus more for drizzling

1/4 cup liquid aminos or coconut aminos, or more as needed (may substitute low-sodium soy sauce plus 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar)

1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds

4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

4 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and sliced

1 small onion, finely chopped

3 bell peppers, preferably a mix of red, yellow and orange, stemmed, seeded and thinly sliced

1 large carrot, scrubbed, trimmed and cut into 1-inch matchsticks

2 cups green beans, trimmed and halved lengthwise

1 cup snow peas, halved lengthwise

1/2 cup thawed frozen edamame or peas

3 cups baby spinach leaves

Sriracha, for serving (optional)

Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and drizzle with a little sesame oil.

In a small bowl, whisk together the aminos, sesame seeds and half the garlic.

In a large wok or wide, deep skillet over high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the mushrooms, onion and the remaining garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until browned and softened, about 4 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a plate and drizzle with a bit of sesame oil.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the wok and add the bell peppers and carrot. Cook, stirring constantly, until the vegetables start to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the green beans, snow peas and edamame and cook until all the vegetables are just barely cooked through, about 2 minutes.

Add the reserved sesame-garlic sauce, the noodles and spinach and stir-fry just until the greens wilt, 30 seconds. Taste, and add more aminos or soy sauce if desired. Serve hot or at room temperature, with Sriracha for drizzling if desired. Serves 6 to 8.

Creamy Chicken and Tomato Pasta

Pasta dishes aren’t always the most exciting meal of the week, but this one uses shredded rotisserie chicken, asparagus, tomatoes and cream to amp up the flavor, texture and depth. If you’re a fan of olives or capers, consider adding a tablespoon or two of them with the chicken.

— Addie Broyles

2 1/2 cups (about 8 ounces) dried campanelle pasta

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

3 cloves garlic, minced

12 ounces fresh asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

1 cup chopped seeded Roma tomatoes

1 cup heavy cream

2 cups shredded purchased roasted chicken

1/3 grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup shredded fresh basil

2 teaspoons lemon zest

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Keep pasta warm.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until tender. Add asparagus and tomatoes; cook and stir 1 minute. Add the reserved pasta cooking water, cream and remaining tablespoon butter; cook and stir until butter is melted and liquid is slightly thickened. Stir in chicken and Parmesan; heat through. Add hot cooked pasta. Top with basil, lemon zest and, if desired, additional grated Parmesan. Serves 4.

10-Minute Ravioli Soup

I really wish I was one of those people who had the time to make their own ravioli from scratch. But, sadly, my life is just way too busy. Hence why I am such a huge fan of store-bought ravioli, which can go from fridge to plate in a grand total of 3 minutes. And what if you could make these super-convenient dumplings of deliciousness even easier by, say, ditching the need to heat up a sauce and not even bothering to drain the pasta? Well, with ravioli soup you can do exactly this. Toss in a few super-quick-cooking vegetables or mushrooms, and you have a hearty soup made in a jiffy and for absolute minimal effort. You could put an Asian spin on this by replacing the sherry and Parmesan with thin slices of red chile, spring onions and sesame oil.

— James Wong

8 cups chicken stock

1 pound frozen mixed vegetables, such as carrot, peas, corn and green beans

1/2 small white onion, finely sliced

2 (14-ounce) packs fresh ravioli or tortellini pasta (any flavor will work)

2 garlic cloves, crushed

2 to 4 tablespoons sherry

To serve:

2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley and mint)

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Bring the stock to a boil in a very large saucepan, then add the remaining soup ingredients. Bring back to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes until the pasta is tender. Serve scattered with the herbs and Parmesan, with a little drizzle of olive oil. Serves 4.

Pizza With Broccoli, Mozzarella and Garlic

This quick pizza dough also makes delicious white yeast bread, which you can shape into rolls, loaves and braids. I find it convenient to pop a few rolled-out uncooked pizza crusts in the freezer so on an especially hurried weeknight, you can take one out, put the topping on and slide it straight in the oven.

— Darina Allen

For the pizza dough:

5 cups unbleached bread flour

2 teaspoons salt

1 heaping tablespoon granulated sugar

3 1/2 tablespoons butter

1 (1/4-ounce) package quick-rise yeast

2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing

About 2 cups lukewarm water, more if necessary

For the pizza:

Semolina flour, to sprinkle

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 to 3 garlic cloves, cut into thin slivers

4 ounces broccoli, broccolini or romanesco, cooked

3 ounces buffalo mozzarella, torn

2 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Flaky sea salt

Chile oil (optional)

Make the dough: Sift the flour into a large, wide mixing bowl and add the salt and sugar. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or by pinching the fat into the flour with your fingertips, add the yeast and mix together thoroughly. Make a hollow in the center of the dry ingredients and add the oil and most of the lukewarm water. Gradually combine to form a loose dough. You can add more water or flour if needed. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface, cover and let relax for about 5 minutes.

Knead the dough until smooth and springy, 8 to 9 minutes by hand or 5 minutes using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Let the dough relax again for about 10 minutes, then divide and shape into eight equal balls of dough, each weighing about 5 ounces. Lightly brush the balls of dough with olive oil. If you have time, put the oiled balls of dough into a plastic bag and chill in the refrigerator, which makes the dough easier to handle, but it can be used immediately.

Heat the oven to 475 degrees and put in a baking sheet to heat up. On a well-floured work surface, roll out a ball of dough to a 10-inch circle. Sprinkle a little semolina all over the surface of a pizza paddle, if using, and set the pizza crust on top.

Brush the edges of the crust with extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle thin slivers of garlic over the crust, arrange the broccoli florets on top and sprinkle over the cheese. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and season with flaky sea salt. Slide off the paddle onto the hot baking sheet and bake for 5 to 8 minutes. Drizzle with chile oil, if desired, and serve immediately.

Loaded Nachos

If your only experience with nachos is the kind with bright yellow cheese that comes from a pump, you’re in for a treat. Homemade nachos are easy to make and crazy good to eat. These are loaded with cheese, beans, sour cream and salsa. Pickled jalapeños are the crowning touch; they really take nachos to the next level. They’re sold in cans or jars in the Mexican food section of the market. If you don’t like things too spicy, look for “mild” on the label. You can add any number of leftover sauteed or grilled vegetables or meats on these nachos, and instead of whole cooked beans, you can also use refried.

— Katie Sullivan Morford

5 big handfuls tortilla chips (about 8 ounces)

3 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup cooked black beans or pinto beans, drained

3 tablespoons sour cream

1/3 cup salsa

1/2 cup pickled jalapeños

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread the tortilla chips across the baking sheet, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle the cheese over the chips, followed by the black beans. Bake until the cheese melts and bubbles, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and spoon small dollops of sour cream and salsa over the nachos. Scatter the jalapeños over everything. Serve immediately. Serves 4.

MIchael Barnes on Waterloo Park rebuild

Fri, 23 Aug 2019 16:52:58 -0000

Confirming that its signature renovation of Waterloo Park is expected to open in a little over a year, the nonprofit Waller Creek Conservancy announced Wednesday that the string of urban parks it oversees along the creek in downtown Austin will henceforth be the Waterloo Greenway.

The new name refers to the entire 1.5-mile park system, 35 acres of connected green space taking shape along downtown’s eastern edge, from Lady Bird Lake to East 15th Street. The Waller Creek Conservancy will become known as the Waterloo Greenway Conservancy. The rebranding of the public-private partnership is a nod both to the historical name of the rough-hewn settlement that grew into Austin and to the functions of the winding pathway of green spaces already in use.

“This organization was established by a shared calling — to create a connected, inclusive and vibrant park system that would connect people to not only nature, but to one another,” conservancy CEO Peter Mullan said. “This is a major turning point for us. Up until now, our vision was aspirational. It was a concept, a collection of places and ideas, and it lacked a name to unify it. Now, it is tangible — something we can live, feel and experience together.”

In 2018, the conservancy rehabbed and then moved into Symphony Square, just downstream from Waterloo Park. The nonprofit has staged a numerous events there amid the historic stone structures and a 350-seat amphitheater that dates to the 1970s. Other projects have included the annual Creek Show of light art, the annual Palm Park Pop-Up Picnic and the temporary installation of Ai Weiwei’s “Forever Bicycles,” raised in partnership with the Contemporary Austin in 2017 at the mouth of Waller Creek and dismantled in May.

The Waterloo Park work includes the Moody Amphitheater, which will accommodate up to 5,000 people.

Working with community stakeholders over the past months, Bruce Mau Design helped shape the rebranding’s components, which include images of natural shapes and colors that evoke memories of paintings by French artist Henri Matisse, but also of the people who use the park system.

“Our goal in creating this brand platform was to embody the vibrancy of the local community, the playfulness of the park’s energy, and the diversity of experiences that will be shared here,” said Tom Keogh, managing director of Bruce Mau. “It’s an honor to work on a project that will profoundly impact a city as thriving and evolving as Austin. Our hope is that those who interact with Waterloo Greenway will feel inspired by the unexpected mix of natural and cultural delights found amidst a bustling urban setting.”

Recently, the conservancy has been an active participant in ongoing and complicated discussions among stakeholders, including the city of Austin and Travis County, about the future of the Austin Convention Center and the historic Palm School, since redevelopment of the adjacent Palm Park is part of the conservancy’s plans.

The conservancy announced in 2018 that World Class Holdings founder and CEO Nate Paul had teamed up with Vista Equity Partners co-founder and President Brian Sheth to pledge $5 million to its efforts. The duo challenged other business leaders to do the same. Last week, however, FBI and U.S. Treasury Department officials raided the offices of Paul’s company near Fourth Street and Congress Avenue. FBI spokeswoman Michelle Lee did not confirm or deny to the American-Statesman that his company was a target.

Did this action in any way affect Paul’s substantial pledge to the conservancy?

“Waller Creek Conservancy’s governing policy protects the privacy of our donors,” said the group’s spokeswoman, Meredith Bossin, “and for that reason, we do not disclose the details of their financial support.”

Tax-exempt charities like the conservancy are required by law to report their donations to the IRS and to make “returns available for public inspection without charge ... during regular business hours.” The Statesman has requested those documents from the conservancy. The nonprofit’s officials said they had filed for an extension with the IRS for 2018 and could not make them immediately available.

The $246 million campaign, which will use tax increment financing assessed on land in the creek’s flood plain and well as private donations, has started to produce tangible results.

“What Central Park is for New York City, Waterloo Greenway will be for Austin, Austin Mayor Steve Adler said. “Because of this project, Austin will be smarter, greener, healthier, more creative, more connected and more equitable.”

Deborah Sengupta Stith on Lil Nas X and Beatstars

Wed, 14 Aug 2019 21:52:28 -0000

Last week, “Old Town Road,” the country trap anthem that’s become the ubiquitous and oddly appropriate soundtrack of summer 2019 in America, made Billboard history, topping the music industry magazine’s Hot 100 Charts for 17 weeks, the longest run ever recorded. The “Old Town Road” also ran through Austin.

Breakout rapper Lil Nas X, with an assist from “Achy Breaky” country crooner Billy Ray Cyrus, unseated 1990s R&B collaboration “One Sweet Day” from Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, which was tied with a Justin Bieber, Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee joint, “Despacito,” from 2017. The 20-year-old Atlanta artist also known as Montero Lamar Hill rode in out of nowhere.

“Wow man, last year I was sleeping on my sister’s floor, had no money, struggling to get plays on my music, suffering from daily headaches. Now I’m gay,” the rapper, who came out of the closet publicly at the end of Pride Month in June, tweeted last Sunday.

Internet savvy, with sharp marketing instincts, Hill harnessed the new social media music video platform TikTok to whip his country rap ramble into a viral sensation that became a cultural phenomenon. Since its March release, the song has spawned a series of remixes, from the Cyrus feature, through a Diplo take, to a new K-Pop version, “Seoul Town Road,” featuring international heartthrob RM from BTS.

it’s crazy how any baby born after march has not lived in a world where old town road wasn’t number 1

54.6K people are talking about this

The original track was born online, when Hill spent $30 to lease a beat from a young Netherlands-based producer named Little Kio on BeatStars.com, an Austin-based online platform that connects songwriters and producers. The company boasts 1.5 million active users and claims over $50 million in payouts to producers.

The site functions as a searchable streaming service, a music licensing service and a download service. Producers use keywords to tag their tracks, which are searchable by mood, tempo, speed, genre and artist. One of the most popular tags in the system is Drake. The Canadian rap artist has never licensed a BeatStars track, but the tag pulls up songs that producers consider Drake-type beats, moody hip-hop grooves occasionally augmented with chilly R&B hooks that beckon the Drake-ish rhyme styles dominating modern rap.

Jonathan Gilchrist — who rhymes as G-Christ, half of the excellent Killeen-based rap duo Crew 54 — has purchased beats from a few different producers on the platform.

“Some of the producers using are really using every inch,” he said. “They have folders for different types of sounds.”

He’s currently scouring the service in search of a few beats to finish a new LP for the group. “So far, I have no complaints,” Gilchrist said. “It’s easy, and you get everything you need for quality mixing.”

Producers on the site set their own rates for a variety of music licenses. At $30 or less, the cheapest are generally nonexclusive licenses for low-quality MP3s of pre-mixed tracks with limited uses. They are designed for emerging artists, like Lil Nas X, who just want to create and share music, primarily on social media platforms.

Higher quality files with broader usage terms — such as more streams, downloads, and video and radio rights — cost more money. If a song, like “Old Town Road,” exceeds the terms of the original agreement, the artists are able to negotiate a new contract.

Hill, who has since signed to Sony, and his producer Young Kio, who has signed a publishing deal with Universal, both hired lawyers to work out a new agreement for “Old Town Road.”

Early disruption

As a young hip-hop enthusiast who cut his teeth running a record label in the Bay Area, BeatStars founder Abe Batshon was an early adopter of the concept of leasing beats. In the mid- to late 1990s, as the digital revolution remade the music industry, he haggled with producers in AOL chat rooms, trying to persuade them to disrupt traditional music licensing practices.

“I was connecting with producers from all over the world and telling them, ‘Hey man, you could keep selling that beat nonexclusively. Here’s 40 bucks. Let me just have the .MP3. I just want to have access,’” he said.

Batshon started BeatStars in 2008, while he was living in the Bay Area working for InGrooves, a pioneering digital distribution company. “I hired a developer for like a couple thousand dollars to make me a custom blog site where I could feature my friends’ beats,” Batshon said. “I just wanted to create a place where I could curate and feature beats and talk about great production music.”

Initially, it was a closed community, an invite-only blog site with a few posts a day, he said. “And then I started getting like a ton of inquiries from songwriters like, ‘Yo, I really love these beats you’re posting. Can I buy them? I want to buy it.’”

He eventually added a PayPal button to handle the requests, sharing revenue from sales with the producers whose work he hosted. Over time, the company evolved. In 2011, BeatStars opened its marketplace on a subscription model. Producers could pay a set monthly or yearly fee, Batshon said, “to utilize the technology and have cloud hosting and all the do-it-yourself website creator stuff that we created.”

As they built the platform, Batshon and his team worked closely with the producers using the site to determine what kind of features should be fast-tracked for development.

“We always embraced the community, really early on, and developed personal relationships with a lot of our users. Very close. Everyone on our team, we all know a few hundred people on our platform, and it’s those relationships that really helped us know what our road map was going to be for them,” he said.

Batshon moved the company to Austin in 2015. BeatStars is still a small operation, with only five employees locally, 10 others elsewhere in the U.S. and an additional 15 scattered around the world at offices in Madeira, a Portuguese island off the coast of Africa, and Brazil.

“I love Austin’s culture, especially centered around music,” Batshon said. Like many other Bay Area tech execs, he said he became enamored with the city during regular visits to the South by Southwest Conference and Festival. “I’ve had nothing but great experiences coming here as a performing artist and as an executive working for digital music companies.”

He also saw room to make a mark: “Austin is known for its music. It’s known for its tech, as well. There’s a lot of tech and startups and things like that, but there isn’t a music tech company, like really waving the flag of Austin.” Batshon said he hopes BeatStars will be a “music tech company based here, that grows here and turns into something substantial.”

E-commerce for artists

For Austin-based artists Christopher Gomez and Mark Hardin, who collectively are known as the production house Beat Demons, discovering the platform in late 2016 was a game-changer.

The duo cut their teeth doing production work for local artists, but “it got to the point where it just wasn’t substantial enough to, like, do it for a living, so (we) started trying to do it online,” Gomez said.

Using other online platforms before they moved to BeatStars, he said, the group was “maybe making, tops, two grand a month.”

When they moved their music to BeatStars, their following and sales skyrocketed. “I feel like their marketplace and the way they’ve built the community, it was easy to grow in it,” Gomez said. “And on top of that, all their stuff worked flawlessly.”

A BeatStars producer Pro Page, which costs $19.99 per month, serves as an e-commerce platform for artists. Beat Demons post three new beats for sale every week. They can track audience response to their work with advanced data tools.

“I’m really into looking at my analytics and seeing what I could do to find who my audience is and target that specific audience to increase our sales,” Gomez said. “I could target by area, by age. I kind of know what age group likes our beats, and then on top of that I see, like, what beat is selling the most, and then I would just put a bunch of ads behind that beat.”

BeatStars aims to cultivate that business-minded focus among artists in the community, Batshon said. “What BeatStars always keeps implanted in our whole mission is: How can we enable creators to think like entrepreneurs? And how can we provide those tools for them to establish small businesses for themselves?”

Within a year on the platform, Gomez said, Beat Demons began to pull in roughly $10,000 a month. In two years, that number had doubled. They now have over 63,000 followers on the site and 2.4 million plays for the 480 tracks they’ve posted. Thousands of artists from all over the world are using their beats. They range widely in style and skill level.

“We will get industry people that are more professional, and then we’ll get people that are everyday Joes that are just starting,” he said. The quality of the tracks artists create with their beats vary. “Sometimes we’ll be like, ‘OK, this is a good song,’ or we’ll know like this is just a beginner. I mean, we don’t hate anything, but see room for improvement from some people who do use our beats.”

In late May, Gomez and his partner Hardin were awarded their first platinum sales plaque, for the song “Netflixxx,” a Brytiago track featuring Latin trap superstar Bad Bunny. But that career milestone came with a catch. When “Netflixxx” first appeared online, with a beat suspiciously similar to one Beat Demons had uploaded to BeatStars and YouTube, the Austin production team was not credited. They hired a lawyer who successfully negotiated adding Beat Demons as songwriters on the track.

Uncleared samples, beat theft and plagiarism are common problems on online music platforms. In addition to the BeatStars presence, Beat Demons hosts an active YouTube channel. They have a partnership with the streaming video platform, and YouTube regularly scans their platform and flags copies of Beat Demons’ work.

“We keep finding videos of people basically ripping, like, pieces out of our beats and looping them or trying to add their own drums to it. That’s starting to be a regular thing, and I think that’s more because we’re kind of big online. It kind of comes with the territory,” Gomez said.

BeatStars does not have a similar sound scanning tool, but the company has a Digital Copyright Millennium Act form on the homepage for anyone that wants to report a copyright violation. A BeatStars contract provided to the American-Statesman by an artist states that the artist licensing the beat is responsible for clearing third-party samples.

The “Old Town Road” beat includes a sample from the 2008 Nine Inch Nails song “34 Ghost IV” that was not initially cleared. Hill told Rolling Stone that he was not aware the sample was in the beat. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross from Nine Inch Nails now share songwriting credit for the track. (Hill and Sony Music are also facing a lawsuit over a sample for his 2018 single “Carry On” that the label recently re-released. The beat for “Carry On” was not purchased on BeatStars.)

Batshon said accusations of beat theft reported to his platform are extremely rare and said his company advises artists who reach out through its support platforms to consult with a lawyer who specializes in copyright law.

For now, Batshon is reveling in the success of “Old Town Road,” a song with humble origins that has taken the title for longest No. 1 hit run in history.

“Holy crap, this is what we always dreamt about,” he said. Batshon said his service helps to lower the entry bar for anyone who wants to make music and hopes Hill’s success will inspire other artists to build their creative visions.

“Everyone can do it. Everyone can open up a TikTok and do something funny,” he said. “Anyone can open up a YouTube and sing a cover or do something. It’s cool. It’s ingrained in us as human beings. It’s in our DNA to be creative. It’s part of who we are.”

Kelsey Bradshaw on the spreading zebra muscle situation

Tue, 13 Aug 2019 13:42:04 -0000

Zebra mussels have infested two more Central Texas waterways: Lake LBJ, upstream from Austin on the Colorado River, and the land-locked Lake Pflugerville, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department said.

The list of Texas lakes infested with zebra mussels, which are known to clog pipes, water intake systems and cling to boats and docks, has grown to 17 with the addition of lakes LBJ, Pflugerville and lakes McQueeney and Placid in Guadalupe County, parks officials said.

Zebra mussels were confirmed to have infested Lake LBJ, about 40 miles northwest of Austin, after about a dozen juvenile and adult zebra mussels were found July 29 near the Thomas C. Ferguson Power Plant in the Horseshoe Bay area, parks officials said.

Lower Colorado River Authority and Texas Parks and Wildlife biologists also found the creatures attached to structures near Wirtz Dam, McNair Park and Kingsland Community Park. The zebra mussels are expected to spread into Lake Marble Falls, which is downstream of Lake LBJ, parks officials said.

Zebra mussels were confirmed to be in Lake Pflugerville, a reservoir northeast of Austin, after Inland Fisheries staff found adult zebra mussels attached to vegetation in the water during a survey.

“It is disheartening to see zebra mussels spreading higher up the chain of the Highland Lakes in the Colorado River basin, as only boats can move this invasive species upstream to uninvaded reservoirs and downstream dispersal is inevitable,” said Monica McGarrity, TPWD senior scientist for Aquatic Invasive Species Management.

Zebra mussels are able to travel from lake to lake because they can survive for days in residual water and adult zebra mussels can survive out of water, parks officials said. Personal watercraft, sailboats, kayaks, canoes and other boats are all required to be drained of water and dried before arriving and leaving a body of fresh water to help avoid the spread of zebra mussels, parks officials said.

The mussels can harm animals in the water and cover rocks, beaches and hard surfaces. They have sharp shells and can clog or attach to surfaces like water intake pipes or boats.

Clusters of the mussels were found clinging to filtering screens in Austin’s water utility intake pipes on Lake Travis in 2018. Divers made the discovery last September while inspecting the screens at the Handcox Water Treatment Plant. The mussels also have been spotted in Lake Austin and Lady Bird Lake.

In February, zebra mussels were found to be the culprit behind smelly tap water in Austin. Their remains ended up in a raw water pipeline at the Ullrich Water Treatment Plant, Austin Water officials said. It was likely some of them died during pipe construction and, as they decayed, released compounds into the water.

But then in May, the mussels spread to Walter E. Long Lake in East Austin and Granger Lake in northeastern Williamson County.

“There is currently no effective way to selectively control or eliminate zebra mussels once they get established in a public lake,” said Mukhtar Farooqi, Inland Fisheries biologist. “This highlights the importance of clean, drain, dry as our best line of defense for reducing the spread of zebra mussels into new lakes.”

Brian Davis on the high cost of Tx-LSU tickets

Fri, 09 Aug 2019 23:07:24 -0000

Dozens of rolled-up notes that were stuffed in bottles and thrown into the digital ocean wash ashore in my inbox. Many inform me that the Texas-LSU game on Sept. 7 is some watershed event.

Here on my metaphorical desert island, I wasn’t aware.

Anyway, a few weeks ago, I drifted over to Stubhub to see how the secondary ticket market was treating this upcoming scrum. Club seats were being offered for $2,000! Seats on the 50-yard line were $1,500. For one game. In early September.

So this got me thinking, and since we all do our best thinking on Twitter, I posed a simple query: Would you, a Texas season ticket-holder, skip the LSU game if you could sell that ticket and cover your cost for the year? The answers were, like UT football this decade, all over the map.

“No. Nope. No way,” barbecue jedi Grant Pinkerton tweeted back.

“Never!” Kelly Traut tweeted in hallelujah fashion.

“Have you lost your mind?” L’Carpetron D. responded.

“If you’re worried about recouping money on your season tickets, you probably shouldn’t have bought them to begin with,” Todd McCarroll said in sick-burn style.

The LSU game is big, no question. It’s the biggest non-conference home game since No. 1-ranked Ohio State strolled into Austin in 2006. That Notre Dame game in 2016? Well, Texas was coming off a losing season the year before. The only reason it’s memorable was because of the crazy 50-47 score and wild double-overtime finish.

“Swoopes, dancing … for the win… Texas is back, folks!” ESPN’s Joe Tessitore screamed when Tyrone Swoopes dove into the end zone. Eh, not so much. The Horns finished 5-7.

This year, both Texas and LSU will be ranked at least in the top 15. This will be a measuring-stick game for both teams. The winner will be elevated into the CFP discussion.

Yes, for some, hawking their LSU tickets is a no-brainer.

“Yep,” Mitymouse fired back.

“Can definitely understand how recouping a season’s worth of $ to be there for the rest of the games can be the case for even the truest of fans,” Suneet Singh wrote.

“For me, getting the big games at face (value) make it worth it. But if I could sell my ticket for over a grand I’d have to seriously consider it,” Steve Burfi said.

Others are torn.

“No. Somewhat tempting as a newlywed, but no,” Mack wrote. Heaven help Mrs. Mack.

Personally, I like Matthew Ziemnicki’s approach. “$20,000 to sit next to me. Lemme know if you are interested. Worth every penny to watch a game with.”

A Stubhub representative reached out with some pretty interesting information. As of this week, the average ticket price on their website for the game is $455. The current get-in-the-door price is $400. As of midweek, Stubhub had 1,455 tickets available.

Where are the buyers? Stubhub says 48% of the buyers are from Texas while 30% are from Louisiana. And get this: Stubhub says there have been ticket buyers from eight different countries. Amazing.

“God…the devil tempting me right now…,” Obi-Wan Ginobili wrote. Yeah, he might pay up.

“I’ve been selling blood all summer to afford my ticket to the game. (Just kidding) of course,” @Kcastillo26 tweeted. Are you?

“I literally bought season tickets just for this game,” Jim Glover wrote. And for that, Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte thanks you and will tweet you a fist bump.

“So the plan is to NOT go to LSU so you can afford to see LaTech, Okie State, both Kansases, and an 11 a.m. Black Friday kick with Tech. Sure. Makes sense,” Chris Lippincott tweeted.

There goes Chris again, using rational thought.

This topic fascinates me. It’s a truly difficult financial choice.

Let’s say you sit in section 5, close to the 50-yard line. One season ticket this year cost $550. You also must pay an additional required donation to the Longhorn Foundation, but some are grandfathered in at dirt-cheap prices. I know some fans who have no Foundation requirement because they’ve been coming so long. New ticket-holders had to pay $3,500 this year, bringing the total cost for one seat to $4,050.

Stubhub has two seats in section 5, row 2 listed at $1,777.50 each. Now, let’s say someone bought that ticket. That would cover almost 45% of the initial investment. Not terrible.

There are seats available on the west side upper deck for more than $600. Somebody is offering two tickets in section 128 on the east side for $1,270.58 each.

Granted, it’s possible these tickets are owned by local ticket brokers, not true fans. Then again, if you put a crazy bid out there and somebody bites, why not?

All that said, if you’re buying season tickets on the sheer prospect of turning a profit on games like Kansas and Kansas State, good luck with that. The LSU ticket is the only real moneymaker on the schedule this season. Sorry, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech fans.

It’ll be interesting to see how the secondary ticket market evolves when the Royal-Memorial Stadium expansion is complete in 2021. At that point, Texas will have new clubs, new suites and totally new seating options. And that means more options will be available on the secondary market.

How much would you sell your Texas-Alabama game ticket for in 2022? How much would you pay for that?

“That ain’t right. C’mon Texas fans. Don’t sell out your team. Show up and support!” TC Taylor tweeted.

Alas, as Drew Schackmann noted, “Texas is back, Brian. Haven’t you heard?”

Phil Jankowski on the Riverside Development controversy

Fri, 09 Aug 2019 22:53:25 -0000

Dozens of mattresses and trash bags line the apartment buildings at the East Riverside apartment complex Ballpark North.

Staff call this time of year “the turn.” It’s when the fully furnished apartments marketed to college students are cleaned out and prepped for a flood of new tenants to arrive just before the beginning of the school year.

This type of housing is uncommon outside of the UT campus area. Leases are offered by room, often matching up strangers with one another for a year of study. For Austin, it is one of the cheaper options for student housing.

But on Thursday, Austin’s City Council might pave the way for the redevelopment of Ballpark North and four adjacent student apartment complexes at the northeast corner of Riverside Drive and Pleasant Valley Road.

A pair of developers want to raze the 1,300 housing units there and transform the 97 acres into a massive mixed-use development: 4,700 new housing units, 4 million square feet of office space and 600 hotel rooms in buildings that could be as tall as 15 stories.

Developers Presidium Group and Nimes Real Estate are calling the project 4700 Riverside, a rebrand of its previous iteration as Project Catalyst. But to many of the vociferous detractors of the project, it is known pejoratively as the ″Domain on Riverside.″

The large development will come before the City Council on Thursday as a zoning case seeking to remove housing capacity caps on the property. The Planning Commission recommended allowing the project to move forward in June.

In recent years, East Riverside Drive has seen rapid redevelopment. Along with Oracle Corp.’s nearby large new office campus on South Lakeshore Boulevard, hundreds of upscale new apartment units and other development have changed the area, spurring protests over the ongoing gentrification.

Most notable is the group of activists known as Defend Our Hoodz, which stages often boisterous protests against projects it considers symptoms of gentrification. At the Planning Commission meeting, several members of the group were tossed from the City Council Chambers where the meeting took place as they often interrupted with chants, banged on windows and shouted obscenities.

“It is a ruling class attack on the working class,” Defend Our Hoodz said in a statement. “It is going to destroy 1,300 low-cost units in one of the last central areas in Austin where working class people can live.”

The project’s lobbyist, Michael Whellan, called their disruptions of meetings and protests near the site “performance politics.” Whellan said he attempted to reach out to the group, but never was able to build a dialogue.

“I don’t see a desire to engage in an open process,” Whellan said. “We’ve had community meetings, meetings with the contact team and meetings with other opponents. They stated they do not want to engage in that manner.”

The developers have promised to make between 400 and 565 of housing units they build affordable housing with rents budget-friendly to families making no more than 60% of Austin’s median income. They are touting that portion of the project as the largest affordable housing by a private developer ever in Austin’s urban core.

Whellan said they have spoken with several stakeholders. And while the 20-year old apartments would be redeveloped over one to two decades into a much larger development, the developers estimate that nine acres of impervious cover would be reclaimed.

Fourteen acres of the site would become dedicated parkland, according to a presentation from the developers. They also would construct a grid of streets that would extend Lake Shore Boulevard and have it intersect Wickersham Lane.

Council Member Sabino “Pio” Renteria, who represents much of East Riverside Drive, including the apartment complexes that would be demolished, said he supports the project.

“When we don’t allow or provide any incentive to provide affordable units, they won’t (build them),” Renteria told the Statesman on Friday. “They will just all become high-end units. We are seeing that done now.”

Construction would begin in about two years if the City Council removes building restrictions Thursday, Whellan said. The project will take between 10 and 20 years to complete.

Residents in place when demolitions begin would be offered a compensation package and first crack at new apartments built in place of where they lived. The package includes $500 in moving expenses, full refund of deposits, up to $1,200 toward the tenant’s new lease and $500 toward a new lease if they decide to return to the redeveloped complex, according to a document outlining the package.

Fred McGhee, a Montopolis neighborhood resident and critic of Austin’s housing policies, said the 4700 Riverside project is another in a line of projects that show the City Council prioritizes building luxury housing over preserving affordable housing. “The fix is in,” he said.

“The council has institutionalized the practice of steroidal development,” McGhee said. “That changes the rent. It changes the land value. This is what developers are seeking to capture.”

Travis Co woman bit by fox with rabies

Thu, 08 Aug 2019 14:10:56 -0000

A fox that attacked a woman after entering her home in northwest Travis County on Aug. 3 tested positive for rabies, Austin Public Health officials said Tuesday.

Animal protection officers received reports of the incident around 9:30 p.m. on Pace Bend Road. Officials said a family member killed the fox to stop the attack.

Austin Animal Services officials are asking area residents to be alert and careful around raccoons, skunks, coyotes and foxes as authorities canvas the area to determine whether any other people or animals came into contact with the rabid fox. Some signs of rabies include strange behavior, like turning in circles, twitching and foaming at the mouth.

Anyone bitten by a wild animal is asked to call animal protection officers immediately at 311 or 512-974-5000, and contact a doctor.

Pet owners are also asked to protect their animals by getting them vaccinated, keeping them indoors or restrained and avoiding wild or unknown animals.

Monument built to alien abduction

Sun, 30 Jun 2019 19:39:14 -0000

A historical marker has been placed near the river where two men in southern Mississippi said they were abducted by aliens in 1973.

News outlets report the city of Pascagoula dedicated the marker Saturday at Lighthouse Park.

Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker said they were on the shores of the Pascagoula River when what appeared to be aliens pulled them onboard a UFO, examined them for about 30 minutes and then returned them to Earth.

Both reported the event to the sheriff’s department and were checked out at a hospital after it happened Oct. 11, 1973. The story has become known worldwide.

Parker published a book about the experience in 2018. Hickson died in 2011. Both said many people doubted their story. A few witnesses have come forward to corroborate some details.

Austin defense attorney caught stealing phone

Sun, 30 Jun 2019 15:58:38 -0000

An Austin criminal defense lawyer is charged with theft after courthouse security cameras captured her taking a mobile phone that belongs to another defense attorney on Monday.

Christina Pagano, 66, found a black iPhone XS unoccupied on a table in the 427th district courtroom and placed it into her rolling briefcase, according to her arrest affidavit.

The phone’s owner, attorney Jackson Gorski, told deputies he used an application on his iPad to track the device’s location, but lost signal when whoever took it turned off the power.

After reviewing the security video, deputies tracked Pagano to another courtroom in the building and confronted her. She pulled out a blue iPhone that she said she keeps in her purse. But when asked about the phone in her briefcase, she stated, “don’t know how that got in there,” according to the affidavit. She added that Gorski “must have put it in there on purpose.”

When deputies asked why she powered down the device, Pagano stated it began to ring and she couldn’t make it stop, the affidavit says.

The phone, valued at approximately $1,149, was in Pagano’s possession for 30 minutes, according to the affidavit.

Pagano was charged with theft, a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in county jail.

She denied taking the phone intentionally, telling the American-Statesman on Thursday that it was “inadvertent, unconscious.” She said she has no memory of picking it up and placing it in her bag.

Gorski told the Statesman that “I think the footage will speak for itself. Other than that, I want the case to proceed its normal course like any other case would.”

More scooters coming to Austin

Tue, 25 Jun 2019 14:47:29 -0000

The debate about whizzing electric scooters on Austin streets has often been contentious, which is why the city thought it would be a good idea to lighten things up, hosting an outdoor summit Saturday to teach people how to use the devices safely.

The Scooter Summit was held just before lunchtime on Electric Drive along Cesar Chavez Street downtown. People came and went through the morning, visiting booths set up by city departments and the scooter companies, which handed out free helmets and other swag to first-time riders, as well as printed lists of the city’s new e-scooter rules.

The City Council approved the rules last month, which dictate safe scooter use, including limiting one person per scooter, requiring people under 18 to wear a helmet and mandating riders follow all traffic laws, signals and signs. Other city rules say where you can and can’t park a scooter (not in front of a bus stop, loading zone or in vehicle parking spots, among other places), and Austin also bans:

• Texting and scooting

• Drinking and scooting

• Riding scooters on city trails, except those that are part of the Parks and Recreation Department’s pilot program

Anyone who violates the rules could be subject to a fine.

“I think all of these scooter rules are common sense,” said Lianna Leal, the Central Texas operations manager for Lyft, who was at Saturday’s summit. “It’s just a matter of reinforcing them to the public.”

Many Austinites still didn’t know about the regulations, including Erika Vivyan and Malik Crawford-Stewart, who were walking their dog in the park near Electric Drive and stopped by the summit to see what was going on.

They said they had both ridden scooters several times, sometimes unsuccessfully.

“We have definitely hit cracks on the sidewalk and face-planted,” Vivyan said.

“I feel like they’re safe. It just depends on the person,” said Crawford-Stewart.

Several people tried out scooters, including Council Member Kathie Tovo, whose office put on the summit. She whizzed along the busy sidewalk on Electric Drive on the gray, humid Austin morning, helmet on her head.

“That’s pretty fast,” she said as she hopped off a blue electric scooter from Skip, the newest scooter rental company on the block.

Skip will begin rolling out its fleet of 500 scooters onto Austin streets starting Monday — 100 scooters at a time. It will join Bird, Lyft, Jump, Lime, Spin and a handful of other companies, which have nearly 15,000 scooters licensed to operate in Austin, according to the city’s micromobility website.

Tovo said she gets calls all the time saying that’s far too many. She said the city is considering a franchise model that would limit the number of companies that could operate in Austin and how many of the devices they can have on the streets.

Other complaints that come into Tovo’s office: scooter riders using trails, weaving in traffic, cutting in front of pedestrians and driving the wrong way down one-way streets. She said the devices also have been turning up in city waterways, which is extremely bad for the environment since scooters run on lithium batteries.

“We want this to continue to be a service in Austin,” Tovo said. “To do that, we really have to make sure that people are using them responsibly, and they are doing so in a way that they are not going to cause injuries to themselves or others.”

Tovo said the scooter companies haven’t always agreed with the city’s Transportation Department on regulations, but that they are continuing to work with the city to forge the best path forward.

“They clearly want to make sure that this is a business that continues to be allowed in the city of Austin,” she said. “To do that is really getting a good balance between allowing people to use them and also have them do so in a way that’s not terribly impactful on our parks, on our roads and on other city streets.”

Gloria Vanderbilt has passed away - Anderson Cooper has her laugh

Thu, 20 Jun 2019 12:18:33 -0000

NEW YORK (AP) — Gloria Vanderbilt, the intrepid heiress, artist and romantic who began her extraordinary life as the “poor little rich girl” of the Great Depression, survived family tragedy and multiple marriages and reigned during the 1970s and ’80s as a designer jeans pioneer, died Monday at the age of 95.

Vanderbilt, the great-great-granddaughter of financier Cornelius Vanderbilt and the mother of CNN newsman Anderson Cooper, who announced her death via a first-person obituary that aired on the network Monday morning.

Cooper confirmed said Vanderbilt died at home with friends and family at her side. She had been suffering from advanced stomach cancer, he noted.

“Gloria Vanderbilt was an extraordinary woman, who loved life, and lived it on her own terms,” Cooper said in a statement. “She was a painter, a writer, and designer but also a remarkable mother, wife, and friend. She was 95 years old, but ask anyone close to her, and they’d tell you, she was the youngest person they knew, the coolest, and most modern.”

Her life was chronicled in sensational headlines from her childhood through four marriages and three divorces. She married for the first time at 17, causing her aunt to disinherit her. Her husbands included Leopold Stokowski, the celebrated conductor, and Sidney Lumet, the award-winning movie and television director. In 1988, she witnessed the suicide of one of her four sons.

Vanderbilt was a talented painter and collagist who also acted on the stage (“The Time of Your Life” on Broadway) and television (“Playhouse 90,” ″Studio One,” ″Kraft Theater,” ″U.S. Steel Hour”). She was a fabric designer who became an early enthusiast for designer denim. The dark-haired, tall and ultra-thin Vanderbilt partnered with Mohan Murjani, who introduced a $1 million advertising campaign in 1978 that turned the Gloria Vanderbilt brand with its signature white swan label into a sensation.

At its peak in 1980, it was generating over $200 million in sales. And decades later, famous-name designer jeans — dressed up or down — remain a woman’s wardrobe staple.

Vanderbilt wrote several books, including the 2004 chronicle of her love life: “It Seemed Important at the Time: A Romance Memoir,” which drops such names as Errol Flynn, whom she dated as a teenager; Frank Sinatra, for whom she left Stokowski; Marlon Brando and Howard Hughes.

She claimed her only happy marriage was to author Wyatt Cooper, which ended with his death in 1978 at age 50. Son Anderson Cooper called her memoir “a terrific book; it’s like an older ‘Sex and the City.’”

“I’ve had many, many loves,” Vanderbilt told The Associated Press in a 2004 interview. “I always feel that something wonderful is going to happen. And it always does.”

Noting her father’s death when she was a toddler, she said: “If you don’t have a father, you don’t miss it, because you don’t know what it is. It was really only when I married Wyatt Cooper that I understood what it was like to have a father, because he was just an extraordinary father.”

In 2016, Vanderbilt and Anderson Cooper appeared together in the HBO documentary “Nothing Left Unsaid.”

Gloria Laura Madeleine Sophie Vanderbilt was born in 1924, a century after her great-great-grandfather started the family fortune, first in steamships, later in railroads. He left around $100 million when he died in 1877 at age 82.

Her father, Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt, was 43, a gambler and boozer dying of liver disease when he married Gloria Morgan, 19, in 1923. Their daughter was 1 when Vanderbilt died in 1925, having gone through $25 million in 14 years.

Beneficiary of a $5 million trust fund, Vanderbilt became the “poor little rich girl” in 1934 at age 10 as the object of a custody fight between her globe-trotting mother and matriarchal aunt.

The aunt, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, 59, who controlled $78 million and founded the Whitney Museum of American Art, won custody of her niece.

A shocked judge had closed the trial when a maid accused the child’s mother of a lesbian affair with a member of the British royal family. The fight was chronicled in the best-selling 1980 book “Little Gloria ... Happy at Last,” made into a TV miniseries in 1982 with Angela Lansbury playing Whitney.

After spending the next seven years on her aunt’s Long Island estate, Vanderbilt went to Hollywood. She dated celebrities and declared she would marry Hughes. Instead, the 17-year-old wed Hughes’ press agent, Pasquale di Cicco, prompting her aunt to cut Gloria out of her will.

Vanderbilt came into her own $5 million trust fund in 1945 at age 21. She also divorced Di Cicco, whom she said had beaten her often, and the next day married the 63-year-old Stokowski. The marriage to the conductor lasted 10 years and produced two sons, Stanislaus and Christopher.

After her marriage broke up, Vanderbilt found herself embroiled in another custody case, this time as the mother. During the closed hearings, Stokowski accused Vanderbilt of spending too much time at parties and too little with the boys. She accused him of tyrannizing his sons and said he really was 85, and not 72 as he claimed.

Justice Edgar Nathan Jr. gave Vanderbilt full-time custody. But he commented that the court had wasted a month on “the resolution of problems which mature, intelligent parents should be able to work out for themselves.”

Vanderbilt married Lumet in 1956 and lived with him and her children in a 10-room duplex penthouse on Gracie Square. She divorced Lumet and married Cooper in 1963.

Their elder son, Carter, a Princeton graduate and editor at American Heritage, killed himself in 1988 at age 23, leaping from his mother’s 14th floor apartment as she tried to stop him. Police said he had been treated for depression and friends said he was despondent over a break-up with a girlfriend.

After her success in designer jeans, Vanderbilt branched out into other areas, including shoes, scarves, table and bed linens, and china, through her company, Gloria Concepts. In 1988 Vanderbilt joined the designer fragrance market with her signature “Glorious.”

By the late 1980s, Vanderbilt sold the name and licenses for the brand name “Gloria Vanderbilt” to Gitano, who transferred it to a group of private investors in 1993. More recently, her stretch jeans have been licensed through Jones Apparel Group Inc., which acquired Gloria Vanderbilt Apparel Corp. in 2002 for $138 million.

Vanderbilt became the target of a swindle in the late 1970s and early ’80s when she made her psychiatrist and a lawyer associates in her business affairs. A court held that the two had looted millions from Vanderbilt’s bank accounts.

Vanderbilt also made headlines in 1980 when she filed, but later dropped, a discrimination complaint against the posh River House apartments, which had rejected her bid to buy a $1.1 million duplex. She claimed the board was worried that black singer Bobby Short, who appeared with her on TV commercials, might marry her.

In 2009, the 85-year-old Vanderbilt penned a new novel, “Obsession: An Erotic Tale,” a graphic tale about an architect’s widow who discovers a cache of her husband’s letters that reveal his secret sex life.

In an interview with The New York Times, she said she wasn’t embarrassed about the explicitness of her new book, saying: “I don’t think age has anything to do with what you write about. The only thing that would embarrass me is bad writing, and the only thing that really concerned me was my children. You know how children can be about their parents. But mine are very intelligent and supportive.”

The Statesman location to be redeveloped

Thu, 20 Jun 2019 12:13:19 -0000

The Atlanta-based Cox family — former owner of the American-Statesman — is working to redevelop the site in partnership with Austin-based Endeavor Real Estate Group. On Monday, Richard Suttle Jr. — the Austin attorney representing the Cox family — presented preliminary plans for the project to the city of Austin’s South Central Waterfront Advisory Board.

Suttle said his presentation marked “the start of a conversation” about the property. He said the site is the centerpiece of the city’s South Central Waterfront Plan, a blueprint to guide development along part of Lady Bird Lake’s southern shore. That plan currently would allow 2.1 million square feet of development on the site and buildings of up to 400 feet tall. Suttle said he intends to ask for building height of up to 600 feet.

Bryce Miller, a co-founder and managing principal with Endeavor, said the proposed project “is an opportunity for the Cox family and Endeavor to create something that’s truly special for a one-of-a-kind site in Austin, Texas. Endeavor and the Cox family see this as an opportunity to deliver a truly world-class project that the entire community has access to.”

For more than a year, Endeavor has been working with Skidmore Owings & Merrill, a Chicago architecture, urban planning and design firm, on a master plan for the Statesman site. CMG Landscape Architecture also has been retained for the proposed development.

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill is tasked with planning the placement and orientation of buildings, streets and sidewalks throughout the project, and determining how the development will integrate with the waterfront and public space. CMG will focus on the design of the open spaces, such as parks, trails, plazas and landscaped areas.

In the next week or two, Suttle plans to file an application with the city to rezone the site, a process that could take a year or more as the development plans make their way through various boards and commissions, including the city Planning Commission. The Austin City Council would have the final vote in the zoning case. Suttle said construction could start about a year after the zoning process is completed.

“This is the beginning of a long process,” Miller said.

Current zoning on the site allows for up to 660,000 square feet of development and caps height at 96 feet, Suttle said.

The property has housed the American-Statesman newspaper since 1980. The newspaper is no longer printed on site, but its editorial offices and other functions remain there in a 330,000-square-foot building that will be razed to make way for the new project.

The South Central Waterfront Plan has been several years in the making by city planners, working with developers, neighborhood representatives, property owners and others. The 118 acres with different property owners along the southern shore are reaching a tipping point for the anticipated tide of redevelopment in coming years.

Suttle, asked if he thought if the zoning case would be controversial, said: “I think we will have a robust conversation, but we are simply trying to accommodate a plan that was created by stakeholders.”

Under the plan, the city will partner with developers to allow more height and density for their projects in exchange for public amenities such as parks, open spaces, trails, plazas and other community benefits.

In the first project approved under the plan, the 15-story RiverSouth office tower that replaced a former Hooters restaurant at West Riverside Drive and South First Street, developer Stream Realty Partners is providing more $3.1 million in infrastructure improvements and community benefits.

The proposed development of the Statesman site would be the first major mixed-use project to move forward under the new waterfront plan. Financing details of the proposed 305 S. Congress project remain to be worked out and could include the establishment of a tax increment financing district.

Suttle said the development proposal for the Statesman property addresses the key objectives of the plan, one of which is increased access to Lady Bird Lake.

Under plans for the new project, 90% of the parking — about 3,700 spaces — would be underground. There would also be 300 parking spaces above ground.

Alan Holt, a principal planner with the city, has been spearheading the city’s South Central Waterfront planning effort.

“As the district’s largest single property with a shoreline that stretches a third of a mile, the Statesman site is the linchpin to achieving the South Central Waterfront vision,” Holt said. Along with a network of open spaces, trails and plazas, the city envisions wide sidewalks, dedicated bike lanes and public art on the site, and slender towers that would “be located and oriented to maximize pedestrian connections and views to the lake.”

City Council Member Kathie Tovo said Monday she had not yet seen specifics of the proposal for the Statesman site, but said: “I believe the developers will be requesting substantial height and density increases — and so I look forward to a vigorous conversation with stakeholders about the substantial open space, affordable housing and other community benefits that would be part of any redevelopment of that scale.”

The City Council has not yet adopted a key part of a plan that in part will spell out what public benefits a developer must provide — parks, plazas, trails and streets, for instance — in order to build bigger, taller projects than would be allowed under current zoning.

Eric Cassady, president of the South River City Citizens neighborhood association, said the group is calling on Austin Mayor Steve Adler and the City Council to immediately adopt that part of the plan “to ensure that the mechanisms are in place that guarantee (that) community benefits, including open space, lake and trail access, affordable housing, and green infrastructure, result from this project and others in the South Central Waterfront area.”

Jeff Jack, a longtime neighborhood activist and former member of the city’s Planning Commission, said the city has a waterfront overlay ordinance in place that is designed to protect views along the lakefront, by requiring buildings along Lady Bird Lake to step down and back from the water’s edge.

“The push to expand the central business district both up and down the north bank and over on the south shore should be seen for what it really is, an attempt to privatize a community asset, the scenic vistas of the Lady Bird Lake corridor, for the financial benefit of development interests,” Jack said.

You won't believe where JB was when the OJ verdict was read

Thu, 20 Jun 2019 03:55:42 -0000

According to media reports, Clark thought that women, regardless of race, would sympathize with the domestic violence aspect of the case and connect with her personally. On the other hand, the defense's research suggested that women generally were more likely to acquit than men, and that jurors did not respond well to Clark's combative style of litigation. The defense also speculated that black women would not be as sympathetic as white women to the victim, who was white, because of tensions about interracial marriages. Both sides accepted a disproportionate number of female jurors. From an original jury pool of 40 percent white, 28 percent black, 17 percent Hispanic, and 15 percent Asian, the final jury for the trial had ten women and two men, of which there were nine blacks, two whites, and one Hispanic.[14][54]

At the start of trial, twelve jurors and twelve alternates were selected from a pool of 250 potential jurors. Over the course of the trial ten were dismissed for a wide variety of reasons. Only four of the original jurors remained on the final panel.[55] During the middle of the trial, a number of the jurors staged what the media called a "revolt". After being sequestered for 101 days, thirteen of the eighteen jurors refused to enter the courtroom until they were granted a meeting with Judge Ito. Eventually, the jury returned with thirteen members wearing black or dark-colored clothing in what was described as a "funeral procession"

Phil Jankowski - Lake Austin Property taxes

Tue, 18 Jun 2019 02:18:59 -0000

This week, Austin City Council members say, they will repeal a decades-old ordinance that made hundreds of waterfront homes on Lake Austin exempt from city property taxes.

The American-Statesman first reported last week that about 400 properties lining Lake Austin, many of them multimillion-dollar dwellings, have been exempted from city property taxes since at least 1986. The properties have an average value of $2.1 million and would have generated an estimated $3 million in tax revenue last year, according to initial estimates based on Travis County property records.

The discovery has prompted the City Council to move to repeal the ordinance Thursday during its regular meeting. The Statesman reached out to all 11 members of the City Council this week, and every one indicated directly or through a staff member a preference to do away with the tax exemption.

“To exclude certain people is unfair to other taxpayers,” Council Member Kathie Tovo said. “That is a situation that we need to right.”

The council became aware of the tax exemption after homeowners Nicole and David Zern sued the city in a bid to get the same exemption their neighbors along Lake Austin enjoy. Their suit revealed the long-forgotten ordinance, which exempted the properties because, initially, they did not receive adequate city services.

That has changed, according to council members interviewed for this story. While the properties are not hooked up to Austin’s water system and do not benefit from city trash service, their owners now receive police, emergency medical services and city fire service in certain circumstances.

“There are some areas in the city that we don’t provide sewer (and water) service, and it would be great if some day we are able to do that, but in the meantime these folks are in the city and are receiving a lot of city services and a lot of benefit of living in the city,” Mayor Steve Adler said.

While the ordinance is expected to be repealed unanimously, the likely change is not without opposition. Dave Herron, a retired attorney who counts himself among those exempted under the 1986 ordinance, said he would gladly pay city taxes if he was hooked up to the city’s water system.

“If you are east of the river and you are getting water and any other service, fair game,” Herron said, “but a broad-brush approach is not going to get it done.”

Herron said he would prefer the city perform an audit of services provided to landowners under the exemption to determine at what level they should be taxed.

Several council members have said applying property taxes only to those on Austin’s water system is a flawed way to look at how the city pays for services. Property taxes do not fund the water system; it is funded by water bills.

Property taxes fund police, fire and emergency medical services along with parks and libraries — services that are provided to those property owners.

“They are receiving city services,” Tovo said. “Not everyone in the city of Austin is on Austin Energy either.”

On Friday, Council Member Greg Casar said city property taxes would apply only to the portions of lots that fall in the city of Austin. When the land was annexed in the late 19th century, boundaries were drawn based on elevation. As a consequence, many of the properties are only partially in the city.

The same rules that apply to swaths of land that cross into multiple taxing jurisdictions would apply to these properties, Casar said.

“We won’t double dip,” Casar said. “Only the parts in full-purpose jurisdiction will be taxed. We are not changing people’s jurisdiction. If your full property is in that, then we will tax all. If not, we will only tax the part in the city.”

“This exists in other parts of the city, too,” Casar added. “We are going to treat it just like that.”

Also up for a council vote this week will be a resolution that would call for determining how new tax revenue resulting from the repeal could be dedicated to combating homelessness and supporting early childhood education.

Mathew Odam talking about the sale of Whataburger

Tue, 18 Jun 2019 02:14:44 -0000

Fast-food chain Whataburger -- beloved by generations of Texans -- is now the property of a Chicago investment firm.

BDT Capital Partners has agreed to acquire a majority stake in San Antonio-based Whataburger, the companies announced Friday.

Financial terms of the deal were not released.

Whataburger will continue to be headquartered in San Antonio, and the groups will “begin exploring expansion plans,” according to a statement.

Whataburger’s founders, the Dobson family, will keep a minority ownership position in the company. President and CEO Preston Atkinson and board chairman Tom Dobson will keep their seats on the board, but will retire from daily operations.

[AMERICAN-STATESMAN FILE]Next

The decision to sell the company “is both exciting and bittersweet” for the family, Tom Dobson said.

“Whataburger has been the heart and soul of our family legacy for nearly 70 years, but we feel really good about the partnership with BDT,” he said. “They have a track record of success with businesses as special as ours that want to grow, while preserving culture and family history. They are trusted advisors and partners who have worked closely with other family businesses and they have a tremendous reputation for doing the right thing.”

Ed Nelson, Whataburger’s chief financial officer and controller, will become the company’s president. Several other company executives are also being promoted.

Whatburger was founded by entrepreneur Harmon Dobson in 1950. According to the company’s website, Dobson had one goal in mind: “to serve a burger so big that it took two hands to hold, and so good that after a single bite customers couldn’t help but exclaim, ‘What a burger!’ He named his humble burger stand, located on Ayers Street in Corpus Christi, ‘Whataburger.’ ”

Today, Whataburger has more than 820 locations, with more than 670 of those in Texas. Whataburger’s other locations are in the South and Southwest, including Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Oklahoma. The company has more than 43,000 employees and has more than $2 billion in annual revenue, according to a company news release.

“Whataburger is an iconic brand and extraordinary company with an important legacy of family ownership, loyal customers, valuable community involvement, dedicated and talented employees, and a highly experienced management team,” Tiffany Hagge, managing director of BDT Capital Partners, said in a written statement. “We look forward to a long-term partnership with the Whataburger team, continuing their commitment to serving high-quality, great-tasting food at a value and delivering a superior customer experience. We are excited to support Whataburger as they continue to innovate and pursue accelerated growth in existing and new markets.”

The sale was not unexpected. Whataburger said last month that it had hired investment banking firm Morgan Stanley to help the company figure out how best to fuel its expansion.

“Whataburger has grown significantly over the years. And, in order to keep satisfying our customers, we’ve been exploring different options to expand the brand and introduce it to new audiences,” Atkinson said. “We’ve gone through this process purposefully and diligently because we wanted to find a partner who honors our values, culture and 69-year legacy of family tradition.”

Richard Perez, CEO of the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, said Whataburger has long been a strong corporate citizen in San Antonio and throughout Texas.

“Whataburger has been extremely involved in the San Antonio community, and also involved in various boards and of course they have given extensively to community organizations,” he said. “They’re always everywhere.”

BDT Capital Partners’ plans for expanding the chain will likely create more jobs in San Antonio and also more opportunity to give back to the community, Perez said.

“This allows them to expand the footprint, not only restaurants but also in their retail space,” he said. “This will allow them to go to another level, and the fact that they’re staying in Texas bodes very well for us.”

Non ticket passengers to enter Austin Airport

Sun, 16 Jun 2019 13:35:48 -0000

Officials at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport are tinkering with the idea of opening the airport up to non-ticketed visitors who want to access the facility’s food, beverage and retail spaces, along with art and music exhibitions — provided they go through security first.

The idea came up at an Airport Advisory Commission meeting on Tuesday night. Airport spokesman Bryce Dubee said officials don’t have a timeline for the proposal, which is still in the very early stages of planning and evaluation, but any change probably wouldn’t come until new concessions are opened in the nine-gate expansion at the airport later this year.

That expansion, worth $350 million, will come with a new mezzanine, an aircraft-watching terrace and a restroom for people and their pets. The project is expected to increase the airport’s capacity to serve a passenger volume beyond the 15.8 million who traveled through the airport in 2018.

The airport is already home to a number of Austin restaurants, including the iconic Hut’s Hamburgers, The Saxon Pub, Jo’s Coffee, Amy’s Ice Creams, Tacodeli, The Peached Tortilla and others. Additionally, the airport features 25 live-music performances each week, Dubee said.

“The safety and security of passengers is always our top priority, so this is still very much in the early discussion stages with all of the necessary stakeholders here at the airport, including airport security and the TSA,” he said, referring to the federal Transportation Security Administration, which was created after the 9/11 attacks.

Colleen Chamberlain, vice president for transportation security policy for the American Association of Airport Executives, said opening airport terminals to non-flyers is a growing trend across the country.

“There’s a number of airports that have or are building hotels immediately adjacent to the property. A lot of these sort of shop-and-dine at the airport programs are tailored to the hotel guests that are staying very nearby,” Chamberlain said. “But we’re also seeing airports that, even without the adjacent hotel, (are) promoting the option of shopping and dining at the airport toward the general community at large.”

She said non-flyers typically get a visitor’s pass that’s similar to a boarding pass, and are subject to the exact same screening as those catching flights.

Chamberlain said the TSA has a clear policy in place and a template for amending security plans to allow airports to open up terminals to non-ticketed visitors, so doing so isn’t really a huge hurdle.

However, some airports could see challenges with allowing more people in, especially non-flyers, as passenger growth continues to balloon.

Chamberlain said the number of airline passengers has been increasing over the past few years, and forecasts show continued increases over the next few years too.

According to data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 77.4 million passengers flew on U.S. airlines in May 2019, a 4.6 percent increase over the year before, and a 0.2 percent increase over the previous month.

“So, at certain airports you see that impact at the checkpoint in terms of wait times, etc.,” she said. “If airports are struggling with TSA staffing or availability of lanes, it may hurt programs like this that they’ve put in place. But we haven’t heard that specifically from any of the folks who have sort of gotten on this trend.”

Mark Howell, a TSA spokesman covering the Tampa International Airport, said each airport that proposes allowing non-ticketed visitors into its facility is considered on a case-by-case basis.

For example, in Tampa, he said, non-flyers can only come through on Saturdays between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and they are limited to 25 people per terminal. Everyone has to register ahead of time and can only enter one terminal per day.

The main issue, he said, is to make sure TSA officers are able to manage security screenings efficiently and safely.

“Our focus is to keep the bad guys off of airplanes,” he said, “and if you aren’t flying, it’s just getting more people through the checkpoints.”

Dubee said the airport commission had a good discussion among its members about the proposal to allow ticketless access, and officials are moving forward to develop a plan that both emphasizes security and is feasible for the Austin area’s main air travel hub.

TSA officials said they have not received a proposal from Austin.

Dubee said feedback from the public has been mixed so far. Some, like those who travel frequently for business, may not see the airport as a place they’d like to relax and hang out. However, others have chimed in to say they remember visiting the airport as kids or seeing relatives to their departure gates.

“We think it’s exciting,” Chamberlain, from the airport executives group, said. “We’re happy that TSA has a policy outlined so that if airports want this option it’s relatively easy to pursue.”

Couple having sex in public in NW Austin

Sat, 15 Jun 2019 20:25:45 -0000

Austin police arrested a couple on Monday after they were caught having sex under an overpass in broad daylight in Northwest Austin.

Officers received a report of a man and woman having sex in public around 3:30 p.m. under an overpass on Balcones Woods Drive, according to an arrest warrant affidavit filed on Tuesday.

When an officer arrived at the scene, he saw the couple, both with pants down and in plain view of passing cars, having sex near the top of the bridge, the affidavit said.

Police identified the pair as Brittani Maxine House, 32, and Nikita Nickolayei Selivyorstov, 30, according to the report.

Both later admitted to having sex, but said they did not know it was illegal, police said.

The two have been charged with public lewdness, a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in a county jail and a maximum fine of $4,000.

House was not listed in online jail records Tuesday, but Selivyorstov remained in the Travis County Jail will bail set at $3,500, records show.

Cuba Gooding Jr arrest and allegations

Sat, 15 Jun 2019 09:26:28 -0000

Cuba Gooding Jr. surrendered to NYPD’s Special Victim Units on Thursday and was charged with one count of forcible touching, a misdemeanor offense, according to the Los Angeles Times. If found guilty, he faces up to a year in prison.

The Oscar-winning actor is accused of groping a woman at the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge in Manhattan on Sunday evening.

In video surveillance footage of the alleged incident (via TMZ), Gooding can be seen putting his hand on the woman’s leg and later on her breast. In a second clip, the woman confronts Gooding before security intervenes.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Gooding’s lawyer, Mark J. Heller, denied the allegation. “We have reviewed almost two hours of tapes, and we do not see any criminal conduct having been perpetrated on his part,” Heller told the Times.

Heller acknowledged that his client is “very, very outgoing. He’s very friendly. He’s very jovial. I guess the word is, sometimes he’s frisky but he’s not inappropriate.” However, Heller added that “[Gooding] respects women. I’ve known him for over 30 years, never been charged or convicted of any crimes… I don’t think it’s going to create any pattern or affect his case.”

In an interview with TMZ filmed prior to today’s arrest, Gooding maintained his innocence. “I trust the system and the process,” he said. “There’s a tape that shows what really happened. That’s the most important thing.”’

NYPD detectives say they’re also investigating allegations brought forth by a second woman, who accuses Gooding of groping her at a New York City restaurant in 2008.

David sedaris is in town

Sat, 15 Jun 2019 09:17:51 -0000

David Sedaris returns with his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious book.

If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong.

When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And life at the Sea Section, as he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself.

With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny--it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's powers of observation have never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future.

This is beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who loathe small talk and love a good tumor joke. Calypso is simultaneously Sedaris's darkest and warmest book yet--and it just might be his very best.

Austin Icon Huts Closing Austin 360 Radio

Thu, 13 Jun 2019 13:46:13 -0000

We have a months-long countdown until a longtime burger joint closes in Austin: Hut’s Hamburgers, an 80-year staple in the city, has announced it will shutter in October.

“Hut’s has been a major part of our lives, and we have loved running the business, but after 38 years, we are ready to move in a different direction,” co-owner Mike Hutchinson said in an announcement of the closure on the Hut’s Hamburgers’ website. “We have appreciated all of our wonderful customers. We have an excellent relationship with our landlord, the Josephs, but it is just time for us to move on.”

The next-door business Favorite Liquor & Wine is also closing.

Both businesses are located on property that the Joseph family owns, according to the announcement. It says that Hut’s and the liquor store will be turned into something new through a local restaurateur, but details on that were not specified. The American-Statesman has reached out for comment.

“When it was realized that both businesses would be closing, we considered many options and decided to work with a local restaurateur and friend to write the next chapter at 6th & West Avenue. We are honored to pass the torch from one local operator to another,” Sammie Joseph Jr. said in the announcement.

An Austin presence since 1939, Hut’s originally operated on South Congress Avenue. It has been at its current home since 1969, and owners Mike and Kim Hutchinson took over the burger joint in 1981, according to the restaurant’s website. Hut’s is located at 807 W. Sixth St.; Favorite Package Store at 801 W. Sixth St. The Hutchinsons also owned nearby pizzeria Frank & Angie’s, which closed last year.

If you need the burger-and-milkshake fix that Hut’s provides, there will still be one place to get it. The Hut’s location that set up shop at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in January will remain open.

Fathers day dad joke weekend

Thu, 13 Jun 2019 13:34:27 -0000

You’ve heard ’em before. Maybe it’s not your dad who cracks the jokes that make you groan (my father-in-law does; my maternal grandmother does, too, with the most mischievous grin), but, in any case, the corny puns and wordplay that have come to be known as dad jokes have achieved their own funny following.

“Don’t trust atoms. They make up everything!”

“What time did the man go to the dentist? Tooth hurt-y.”

“Two guys walked into a bar. The third one ducked.”

You know, that sort of thing. (For more examples, if you really need them, go here.) People have begun to embrace the cheesy humor so much that this weekend, there will be three local dad jokes competitions in honor of Father’s Day. Two are at Austin breweries; another is at a beer bar. Dads like drinking beer, dads like making corny jokes, so they must like doing these things together, I suppose.

Here’s what to expect at these competitions and additional Father’s Day events.

Dad Jokes Competition & Beer Release at the Brewtorium. Get your corniest material ready because it’s time for the Brewtorium’s second annual Dad Jokes Competition, held in celebration of the release of the Dad Jokes Mexican Lager. You can compete individually or as part of a team, just as long as you keep it goofy and clean. After all, dad jokes are nothing if not family-friendly.

Just want to watch and laugh? Come early or bring your own chair for a guaranteed seat. There will also be a round of Dad Olympics. The event runs from 3 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, the day before Father’s Day, completely free of charge. The Brewtorium is located at 6015 Dillard Circle.

Dad’s Back: Beer Release & Joke-Off at St. Elmo Brewing. OK, apparently your pop doesn’t just like beer. He wants a lager. Like the Brewtorium, St. Elmo is also bringing back a lager — in this case, the Dad American Pilsner that you can order in steins for $10. Enjoy it while listening to a fierce, rousing joke-off that will have you rolling your eyes and guffawing in equal measure. The free competition starts around 2 p.m. Sunday at 440 E. Saint Elmo Road.

Peter blackstock on Hootie and the Blowfish 2019

Thu, 13 Jun 2019 12:39:15 -0000

A quarter-century after “Cracked Rear View” launched Hootie & the Blowfish into the pop stratosphere, and more than 30 years after the band began as college rockers at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, guitarist Mark Bryan still remembers the early days well.

In the beginning, Bryan and his bandmates learned the ropes just like every other fledgling band in a 1980s college town: playing club and party gigs, making demo tapes, touring around the home state and region whenever possible. But Bryan also remembers getting a leg up from Musician magazine, a monthly publication that was a must-read for both aspiring performers and die-hard music fans at that time.

“Every month, they would have one feature piece on how to make it as a young band,” recalls Bryan, speaking by phone from South Carolina, where he still lives. “It would be like, how to send your demo tapes out, or how to get gigs, or how to add merch to your shows for extra money.”

Decades later, after Bryan and his bandmates put Hootie on hold while singer Darius Rucker pursued a second career as a country singer, he put those lessons to good use. Taking a job at the College of Charleston in 2009, Bryan helped create a music industry program at the school, something that’s now a point of pride for him. “It’s some really great knowledge that I wish I would have had when I was in college,” he says.

Bryan stopped teaching last fall for an auspicious reason: For the first time in a decade, Hootie & the Blowfish are recording and touring again. They made an album that’s due out later this year and began a string of about 50 U.S. dates a couple of weeks ago. The tour comes to the Austin360 Amphitheater on June 13.

Jb and Whitney talk D day 75th anniv

Thu, 06 Jun 2019 23:48:32 -0000

The Normandy landings were the landing operations on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. Codenamed Operation Neptune and often referred to as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. The operation began the liberation of German-occupied France (and later western Europe) from Nazi control, and laid the foundations of the Allied victory on the Western Front.

Planning for the operation began in 1943. In the months leading up to the invasion, the Allies conducted a substantial military deception, codenamed Operation Bodyguard, to mislead the Germans as to the date and location of the main Allied landings. The weather on D-Day was far from ideal, and the operation had to be delayed 24 hours; a further postponement would have meant a delay of at least two weeks, as the invasion planners had requirements for the phase of the moon, the tides, and the time of day that meant only a few days each month were deemed suitable. Adolf Hitler placed German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in command of German forces and of developing fortifications along the Atlantic Wall in anticipation of an Allied invasion.

The amphibious landings were preceded by extensive aerial and naval bombardment and an airborne assault—the landing of 24,000 US, British, and Canadian airborne troops shortly after midnight. Allied infantry and armoured divisions began landing on the coast of France at 06:30. The target 50-mile (80 km) stretch of the Normandy coast was divided into five sectors: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. Strong winds blew the landing craft east of their intended positions, particularly at Utah and Omaha. The men landed under heavy fire from gun emplacements overlooking the beaches, and the shore was mined and covered with obstacles such as wooden stakes, metal tripods, and barbed wire, making the work of the beach-clearing teams difficult and dangerous. Casualties were heaviest at Omaha, with its high cliffs. At Gold, Juno, and Sword, several fortified towns were cleared in house-to-house fighting, and two major gun emplacements at Gold were disabled using specialised tanks.

The Allies failed to achieve any of their goals on the first day. Carentan, St. Lô, and Bayeux remained in German hands, and Caen, a major objective, was not captured until 21 July. Only two of the beaches (Juno and Gold) were linked on the first day, and all five beachheads were not connected until 12 June; however, the operation gained a foothold that the Allies gradually expanded over the coming months. German casualties on D-Day have been estimated at 4,000 to 9,000 men. Allied casualties were at least 10,000, with 4,414 confirmed dead. Museums, memorials, and war cemeteries in the area now host many visitors each year.

Why Parents Want Ipads OUT of Schools in Eanes

Wed, 05 Jun 2019 02:26:42 -0000

Eanes parents are doubling down on their demand that the school district create one classroom at each grade level that would not use iPads.

Nearly 20 parents and teachers, some holding signs and cheering as each person spoke, addressed school officials during the open forum portion of the Eanes school board meeting May 21.

The charge is led by Meaghan Edwards and her husband Mark Edwards, who started a petition asking the district place their children in a classroom that does not use iPads, which the district issues to all students. Nearly 400 families have signed the petition as of press time.

“There are many dangers and distractions that come with the 1-to-1 program,” Mark Edwards said. “The digital learning task force submitted notes last year suggesting poor filtering, and nothing was done. Claiming ignorance is not a valid defense here.”

Meaghan Edwards began the effort to opt out of iPad use after discovering her 6-year-old son was able to view photos of topless and scantily clad women in racy poses on his school-assigned tablet. The first grader asked Apple’s digital assistant Siri to search for “sexy girls,” resulting in Google image thumbnails that he and a friend then saved on their devices.

The issue of iPad use and content filtering is not just affecting the Edwards family. Some parents have also reported witnessing misuse of the devices at home, claiming their children’s internet searches reflect violent and non-educational material. Parents also expressed concern with excessive screen time in place of learning.

Susanna Murray, who has three sons in second, seventh and eighth grade, said iPad use not only affects the classroom but the family dynamic.

She said her sons have been able to access violent and obscene material on their school iPads that they wouldn’t normally be allowed to view on their home devices. Because it’s a school device, she said there has been no way to regulate it. Murray said she has tried to contact the school’s technology department but that her attempts have been unsuccessful.

“I urge the district to foresee the problems, which will require you to stay ahead of its curious and resourceful students,” Murray said. “We can do better. We are a district that excels.”

Shannon Zucca, whose son is in the fifth grade, said her issue with the device is screen time. She said she has asked teachers to restrict her son’s access to the iPad and to ensure that he is using it for educational purposes only. She said she worries that her son is spending too much time on his iPad and looking at YouTube videos instead of learning.

Other parents, however, supported the use of iPads.

Graham Cohen, a member of the district’s digital learning task force, said the district has three defense mechanisms in place to filter and protect the iPads. He noted that a usage report also showed the average screen time for a kindergarten student being 22 minutes a day while first through fifth grade students average about an hour per day.

“I do not agree that we should hide (students) from technology or new ideas or the change it brings with it,” Cohen said. “I do agree that teachers do the best they can with the resources they have available, and I think creating a new curriculum (without iPads) will put an undue burden on a fundamentally under-resourced public school system.”

A number of teachers also attested to the benefits of iPads in the classroom, saying the devices serve educational purposes, including reading, math and english lessons.

Leslie Abbott, a kindergarten teacher at Barton Creek Elementary, said she uses the iPad in her classroom for about 20 minutes a day and is grateful for the thousands of online books students have access to. She said her students used a reading application called Epic to do a research project on a topic that interested them.

“These are topics they came up with and wanted to be able to research,” Abbott said. “Through use of their iPads, they are able to find these books and take ownership of their own education.”

Other education-based applications mentioned were Google classroom, Showbie, a communication based app, and Learning Ally, an audio-reading application. Teachers encouraged parents to visit their classrooms to get a first-hand look at how technology is being used.

“I love your children. I love them everyday,” said Rachel Steinberg, who teaches fifth grade at Bridgepoint Elementary. “We do care about what (students) see and what they are exposed to, and a lot of it is through us. I don’t want iPads to be all that they see. As a teacher, I do believe there is a balance. I see (iPads) as an opportunity to explore.”

Because the topic was not on the meeting’s agenda, school board members could not comment on the issue. But Superintendent Tom Leonard said the district will work over the summer to improve the use of technology in the classroom. He stressed that the district constantly improves its web filters.

A group of about 12 teachers, two from each elementary campus across all grade levels, along with district staff, will evaluate the use of iPads and develop guidelines for homework and screen time. A recommendation, if any, will be made to the school board at a later time.
