Unplugged at the Grove is Back Online

Turns out, Unplugged At The Grove week wasn't closed down last week due to being over the decibel limit, but due to Shady Grove's sound permit being expired! City Council member Laura Morrison said "They're in the process of making some changes in the permitting and they got caught in the middle. They haven't renewed their existing permit." She told Save Austin Music at their monthly meeting that on this Thursday's Council agenda is a proposal to retroactively extend the permit while the are in the process of changing, and that performances will be allowed to continue.

  1. Council member Morrison is being flexible with the truth.

    AustinCityPermits.com:

    "In this video, City Council member Laura Morrison, who was instrumental in passing the Amendment that was specifically used against Shady Grove, points out that the problem was that “Shady Grove’s Permit had expired”. What Ms Morrison fails to point out is that the March 23rd expiration date was part of the Amendments that she ramrodded through on March 12th 2009, on the consent agenda (!), as an Emergency item (!), right before SxSW, when anyone involved in the music business was going to be too busy to rally opposition. I don’t think the problem is going to go away, until Ms. Morrison either gets it, and stops carrying the ball for the voter block she wants to retain, or is removed from the process, through recall.. I think Ms. Morrison is that good, at manipulation of the planning process, and it’s that serious, in determining the future of music, in Austin."
