Ok, sorry for the zombie-thread action here, but I had to post this somewhere and it fit best within the context of the original post.

Yesterday, people put fliers on bicycles here at UTA to attend the meeting that would be held regarding the decision on the plan. I had a class that started the same time as the town hall meeting, so I couldn't go. Which was a bummer and I wish I could have.

Today, I pick up the Shorthorn (UTA school paper) and see that the decision was held off for early February. I also saw mention of a "representative of" save our streets, Buddy Saunders. It happened to mention that he was the founder of Lone Star Comics. I checked the website and sure enough, the guy I was ranting about not too long ago is the founder and owner of Lone Star Comics. I called the head office just to ask if he still owned the business or had sold it off perhaps. He indeed was still there.

I had to let them know that I had seen the SOS website, half agreed with him and did not appreciate the militant anti-bike talk. I also informed them that I, as of last week, went to the cooper street store once a week to buy comics. No more.

It really sucks as I generally like the store and the employees, but I just can't justify bankrolling this guy on an all too direct level.
