Vaccines are top of mind in Austin this Texas Independence Day - area county leaders saw great success last Saturday with their mass-vaccination trial run at COTA and will do it again this weekend with a much higher goal in mind. Travis County sports the highest percentage in Texas of people "very likely" to get vaccinated when they can - conversely, 20% of Texans say they are "very unlikely" to take their turn. A major "statewide announcement" is expected from Governor Greg Abbott this afternoon at 1:30 from Lubbock, likely related to a lifting of pandemic restrictions. Things have heated up even further at UT over "The Eyes Of Texas" with the revelation of racist demands from wealthy donors to keep the song. P. Terry's full-timers are in for a raise, and there's a new pizza pie player coming to Manor Road. And, a great spring outdoor live music series has been announced by The Long Center.
