Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes:
"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?"
SOUTH AUSTIN PRESERVATION SOCIETY
Holding on to single storey houses,shops and Mini-Malls
that serve and protect us from Corporate High Rent High Rise High Prices
Preserving Community in South Austin,so it does not become Generica Franchise
Keeping relationships personal-eye to eye,face to face
Knowing our neighbors-their lives,struggles,solutions
Continuing (to live within)a walkable public space,rather than HUGE anonymous Towers
Realizing "Development"actually means "Demolition"of our lifestyle
Acknowledging there is NO BENEFIT in destroying a perfectly functioning retail center
Trusting that this petition can reach the ears and eyes of all South Austinites
so as to affirm what is,strengthen what might continue,and enjoy Brodie Oaks Central..
May our City Council listen to South Austin's Preservation Society-
so our chosen lifestyle of SMALL and PERSONAL is not displaced into HUGE and ANONYMOUS..
