Well what the crap?  I thought that was why we were fixing our streets or whatever.

What are you talking about? I was hoping we would get it so that they would really fix our streets.

Saw that River West is getting a $6 million upgrade mainly at the amphitheater, and that the floating stage is being auctioned.

I think this amphitheater is severely underutilized and hopefully the improvements will change that.  I still would like to someday see the Mid-Con plant next door turned into an extension of the park with a larger amphitheater and green space for bigger festivals with a great view.  As I've said before something like Zilker Park in Austin or this proposal for Nashville:

I can't imagine there will be great interest in the stage.  Removal and haul-off costs are likely more than the scrap value of the stage.  I suspect it ends up getting wrecked in place by RPA.

How much space your backyard have?

I think we can get the stage in, but the grandstands would need to be built up onto my roof.  I'm thinking a floating stage in my backyard might take the cra-cra next door over the top though.

And the problem with that would be?

I'll buy a ticket to the cra cra blow out.

The insurance requirements will cost more than the value of the stage. Wouldn't surprise me if it spontaneously combusts.

Hey, it's been down-stream of Sun/Holly for 30 years, it's possible!

Blow it up as part of the 4th-o-July fireworks show

Removal and haul-off costs?   It floats, right?  Have the Corps of Engineers open up Keystone, then set it free.

You would have to get it pretty high to get it over the Zink dam.  Good idea though.  Float it all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.

Heads up, Bixby.  Here comes a new entertainment venue.
