It Was the First One, You Crybabies!

RECEIVED Tue., Oct. 18, 2005

Dear Editor,
    Wow! I see that once again people are bitching because we have yet another awesome festival [Texas Barbecue Festival] to attend [“Sausage Shrines,” Food, Oct. 7]! Dammit, Austin! Why haven't you made this event bigger, better, and more organized? Why? Because it was the first one, you crybabies.
    How about giving people a chance to fine-tune it before you critique and point out all of its flaws. Understandably it must have been frustrating to have run out of food and drinks, but guess what? Next time, they'll know better. I'm sure no one has ever thought to themselves that the first annual whatever-in-the-hell went off without a hitch.
    Give them a freakin' break!
    No one knew what the attendance was going to be because they had nothing to judge it against. I can't wait for the next one, and I can assure you I won't be crying about not having a $5 bottle of water when things run out, I'm going to take my ass to a bar and deal with it with a Lone Star in my hand.
