Saturday Morning Meeting Notes.
The Alamo Drafthouse is a topic of the morning. Apparently, the owners are being forced out of downtown, due to the the rising property values.

The owner of the Drafthouse, Tim League, and his wife have started a foundation to preserve this cinema as an icon. The Heroes of the Alamo Foundation is their attempt to preserve the local theatre.

In their explanation, you will find that they are not the only business facing skyrocketing property costs in Austin.

New Conversation
Conversation shifted to film, The Aviator, and then to the possiblity of driving a Formula one racer upside down

Our conversations on aviation and g-force started while talking about an increase in fear of heights that Rob and I attribute to age. As an example of a moment of pause related to height, Ray reflected on his climb of the The Lost Arrow.
