It's a shame that they didn't incorporate a music venue into this project. I've said this before but having a music component in an office building makes perfect sense.

I thought the sound was just fine, although it was electronic so I'm sure that made a difference vs. real instruments. Anyway, the confetti drop at the end of the show is one of my favorite memories in Austin. I share some of your nostalgia.
I'm old school (even though I'm not that old). I prefer less electronics personally, though I do appreciate what they can add to the music and show overall.
Hall gone. Does anyone know if the official groundbreaking happened as planned on 09/22? Developers of office projects don't seem to alert local media outlets about groundbreakings like residential project developers.
According to Cielo's Facebook page the 09/22 "Demo Party" went off as scheduled. I don't know if that was their official groundbreaking or not. But that substantial slab that the AMH was built on will have to be dealt with before any ground can truly be broken. Here's a pano from their Facebook page:
Crazy that all three of these lots will be developed before too long...
There will be a 20' alley between Shoal and Proper, then an 80' gap between Proper and Block 185. Otherwise we're looking at a lot of new buildings. This area should be one of the densest downtown by the time it's all complete.
The noses of the presidents on Mount Rushmore are 20 feet long, which means the seperation between Shoal and Proper is only by a nose which is better than a whisker, but still a bit too close, but I'll concede that the density in that area will be quite....dense...
