Jodie, you are right that we are very proud!
David, you looked very professional and sounded like you knew what you were talking about. Maybe, there is a calling here?????

I am very impressed. The use of some of City Hall’s catchiest phrases was particularly stellar. Come on back now, ya hear?

What did you say about the Riverside multi-use? I guess I should watch the video, huh? I hope it was in favor of re-zoning. That’s my ‘hood, and it needs some work — it is FUGLY.

(Did you see/hear the president of Austin Pets Alive! talk about how retarded it is to set a goal of spaying and neutering an additional 2,000 pets without also committing to a goal of getting an extra 2,000 pets adopted? You were probably schmoozing with Leffingwell.)

That was really really impressive, David! What did you use for the video? The quality was good — it didn’t seem to be an ad hoc set-up. Betsy, your mom, and your nana must be so proud!

However, the beard makes you look like a terrorist.

My most favorite part about this entire blog is your dedication. I mean, you were there for 11 hours! Good job, Becker.

David you are truly awesome!!!! Still can’t figure out where you get the nerve to do these things!
Can’t wait to see the video and you in action!

Jodi and Council of Trent are definitely on to something for your next city council meeting gig. Let’s see if I can help flesh this out…What if you dress up as Elvis the Clown, sign up for Citizen Communications and then teach the council members how to shake to the tune of ‘Suspicious Minds’? It will be legend-wait for it-dary.

I saw it live in the Chamber!! David definitely rocked the Council. He did his research, formed his opinion and went up to the podium with handwritten remarks. Well done David, you did a great job!

Yayyy!! Just saw you on livestream. I liked the “ad hoc” in there. Good job, pal!!

I think you should record a video of yourself trying to teach the council members how to shake and giving them treats (maybe liver if they’re lucky). I think it would probably beat the other things they put up with day-to-day except for Rabbi proclamations. I’d like a before video, preferably with them being slightly confused and rolling over on the floor when you ask them to shake and then an after one of course to show their progress. In the after one, I’d like them to be able to shake with a firm grip for a liver treat and maybe even be able to clasp your hand with their other hand for a nice warm embrace. That of course would merit two treats. Hopefully no one has suggested this yet – I think it’s pretty novel.
