Austin Chronicle on the smoking ban

What bullshit. What have they accomplished? The Smoke Free Monday nights at local clubs have abyssmal turnout, and people are seriously deluding themselves if they think bars will just go nonsmoking. Who wants a bar full of those damned California non-smokers anyhow?

God I hope Halcyon can push the city council on a variance for coffee shops. I wonder if Doug knows about that. They certainly need it. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

This has made what was simply a dreary day into a downright crappy one. I think I'm off to drink beer and smoke my black little heart out with glee. I've also decided I won't be embarassed when people shoot me nasty looks for daring to smoke. I'll just put my cigarettes out on their shoes.

I hope you still go to Metro, though. They need their loyal customers, no doubt. Man, that REALLY sucks. I can so relate, although the somewhat "good" thing is, you can't smoke ANYWHERE here in bars/clubs/restaurants/coffeeshops, SO, people have no alternative. It did make business go down overall, however. How late is Metro open? Most places around here allow smoking after 12.

Oh absolutely. I will still go Metro, because it's become the home of my heart as far as this city goes. I couldn't just stop, for anything. Plus, they make some really good iced coffee. :D

Metro is open twenty four hours, bless them. I imagine in the wee hours we'll be able to illicitly smoke.
