 Saturday night 6th stree is the place to be for boobies :)

 Austin cops are stupid.  There was some violence last year, a riot or something, so this year the police said they aren't "allowing" a parade.  Maybe they're forgetting who the bosses are?  Worst part is that the riot was HOURS after the parade and was caused by drunks.  

 By doing this in this town they are asking for trouble...........

Just to let you know it may be a while until Fatty is able to respond. He will be away from the boards while he spearheads an emergency commission to look into this critical development.

Yeah, saw that on the news last night.  The protest is very real, and actually has (some? news story was unclear on extent) ACLU support.

I will be down town on Saturday fighting for the right of my sisters to expose their breasts!


FREE THE BOOBIES!

according to the radio news brief I heard this morning, the woman in organizing the Tit In says it is NOT illegal for women to bare their breasts in Austin.  Dunno if she's right, I defer to Fatty on this one.  ;)

Fatty, I think you should definitely SUPPORT the women in their fight for the right to keep Mardi Gras a boob friendly environment.

(the reason it was on the radio here was I listen to a Mobile Alabama radio station, and Mobile claims to have started Mardi Gras and that New Orleans stole the idea from them.  Mobile takes Mardi Gras VERY seriously.  The other night I'm watching TV, and they did the "coming up on the news at 10" brief and the first thing out of their mouths was Mardi Gras parade highlights.  Next was "President George W. Bush speaks in an appearance on the Gulf Coast."  Mardi Gras is bigger than the leader of our country down here!)

I don't know the details of the law either Nifty, but according to the local news report (which should include all the normal disclaimers about local news reports) it is in fact legal to go topless in Austin.  Which is news to me, I never see topless girls downtown.  Anyway, if that report is correct then she's got a bit of a point, they'd be pretty much making up ordinances as they went along deciding on one weekend to change the law.  I'm just happy there's such a ruckus because it means boobies will be exposed, and let's all pray that the cold spell holds out through the weekend.

(I wouldn't go to MG in Austin anyway, been to it in New Orleans, an Austin version could never impress me enough to put up with the crowd).
