Austin voted to extend the current smoking ban to bars yesterday by just four points. Whether you were for or against the ban, it's good to have this contentious election behind us. In 18 years of living here, I've never seen live music fans so divided by an issue.
Come September 1st, when the ban takes effect, I think it's vitally important for all the live music fans who voted for the ban to redouble their support of our venues. If you told people you'd go out more if it didn't mean coming home smelling like an ashtray, then get your butt out of the house and prove it.

***Right on. I don't believe for a second many of these folks are going to do it, but I'm glad someone is calling them on it.
