c'mon, OG, you can't tell me people in dallas don't make cracks about us smelly hippies down in the capital. it's all in good fun, just like calling houston a sweltering hellhole. oh wait--that's not really fun, just true.

Dude. People from Dallas are not pretentious. They are coked-up, materialistic psychopaths. Get it right. I can take a joke as well as anyone, but the smug austin elitism is so tiring after awhile.

List of cities that can't take a joke (based purely on Austinist comment threads): 1) Shreveport 2) Dallas 3) Canada Come on Dallas! You could move up to #1 with just a little more effort!

Did someone from Dallas just call someone else a "pretentious a-hole"? A (pot-to-kettle) black hole MUST have instantly formed somewhere.

Nice potshot at Dallas you pretentious a-hole. I would enjoy living in Austin a lot more if it weren't full of smug hipsters looking down their noses at the rest of the state. Just enjoy your surroundings and STFU.

Actually craft services includes the main meals. Film crews eat like lumberjacks because they work as hard, if not harder than lumberjacks. Try lifting a 30 pound sandbag for 200 reps in a 18 hour day, or carrying a 100 pounds of camera strapped to your chest for 18 hours. Since time is money when the shooting is going on, the "snacks" are essential to fueling the crew so they do not collapse.
