What they do such a good job of is coaching effort.

We are really honored. It means so much more since our peers -- who are at times our rivals -- are the voters. This honor brings responsibility and the challenge to do an even better job in 2006.

We just kept working, hoping for the best. We feel sorry for what the people in Houston and Galveston are having to go through right now. We would never put the bands, the crew, the staff, the people of our city in danger.

What we kept hearing really validated our event concept -- the fan is at the top of our priority list. There is too much competition for their entertainment needs, so we have to give them an unforgettable experience... NOT just a concert.

It's brilliant - I'm going to be a Mitchell. I am really looking forward to getting started.

There's very, very little chance of rain. All our event models pay very close attention to safety.

Until they do the facade and the parking lot, they won't get a penny of the city's money.

Music has served as a healing force many, many times in the past, and it will do so again at this year's Austin City Limits Music Festival. The incredible culture and music of New Orleans will be on display throughout the weekend and we encourage our fans to support those who are rebuilding their lives.

That really (ticks) me off. We meet with all the cab companies and work on the situation, but there are always going to be rebels that we have no control over.
