Money, Music and an Austin Cop on the Tee-Vee! [Extra Extra]
- Houston financier accused of a $7 billion fraud can’t afford his own lawyer, has a public defender appointed for him. That’s your tax dollars at work.
- An Austin cop was in the movie “Lightning Strikes” that aired on the Syfy channel this past Saturday. He was playing… a cop. Talk about method acting!
- Dallas-area high-school student DJs have their own radio station. Maybe it is just like that station they had on Beverly Hills, 90210...
- Texas-bred fashion in New York City! The Greater Houston Convention and Visitor's Bureau sponsored the Bryant Park fashion show of Houston native Cesar Galindo, in order to promote “the new Houston."
- The artwork of Texas sculptor Dario Robleto work is featured on the cover of a Yo La Tengo album! That's fitting, since Robleto is into “remixing history.”
- Video of the Austin City Limits Music Festival student-ticket sale. Look and see if you can find anyone who was too “sick” to make it to class!
- The “Huddle Shuttle” has been sacked, making it harder for UT fans to get to the home football games. Should we be expecting a fleet of burnt-orange pedicabs to emerge?
