Don’t forget the John Henry Faulk B-day celebration tonight, going down at Zilker Park: check our Events page for all the details.

Be sure to get there early for the 6:30 homage to the Lounging Philosophers, an exchange which should be illuminating – espeically for one of the participants, City Council member Lee Leffingwell. Talking to Lee today, he said he agreed to take part in the festivities – except he didn’t learn until today he’d be facing off against Save our Springs Alliance leader Bill Bunch (no hard feelings there, right?). Hell, we’re even a little confused as to what exactly’s going down – a reading, a re-enactment of Leffingwell’s bruising face-off against Bunch over the defeated “clean water/clean government” amendments from last year, or just some all-around Springs loving. Show up tonight to find out.
