Save the Nook! Save Austin Music! Stop the Westin from Killing Our Weird!

If they still exist? Their page is dead for 5 years. But i totally agree with the point that its not wrong for WESTINto say it's bothersome, but it us totally wrong anywhere in America to decide you want to live in an area but then complain cows bring flys because you moved into a rezoning place south if a street but north of it its still rural. Same here. The music district became popular for its electic vibe? Leave the fancy English. The definition us anarchy. A district where either anything goes. Like red-light districts in France. Or you have sound bleed/ing, which means venues are close to each other without benefit of sound walls ir have echo from improper materials. Like when promoters in an effort to attract n please every one they can, will put trance, house, jungle, dubstep etc, not only in to close of a measured distance proximity to each other, but also wrongly aiming their subs or really the the cabinets in general, so that sound wavelengths not necessarily intelligible, still mix in between the ranges of the next rooms music. Turning that into a steaming pyle of turd that is in such frequencies to totally ruin the ability to decipher either beat, vibe or solos. I suspect that inside of the Westin, only sound comes through., be it vibration, making items rattle & zzzzzz or as a never endin

Screw the Westin. Live on live music!

Stand up for Austin Culture and local small businesses!. They are the goose that lays the golden egg. Mega-corporations can adapt to local culture. Sorry they overbuilt at the expense of providing appropriate acoustic mitigation to assuage their greed. How much of their profit stays local?

Sorry to hear this Nook is an awesome establishment.

We've got to win this one so that we can set a precedent for the rest of the city to follow! Good luck to the Nook, and thanks for leading the charge here.

The hotel had ample information and opportunity to build a soundproof building they could coexist with known, existing neighbors. They chose not to. They made their bed.

The Westin was provided with a very affordable solution to the issue the created for their patrons.. Instead they decided to file a law suit. It's childish and irresponsible of the Westin, to not take in consideration every minor detail when building next to venues. If anything, it's the Westin that should be sued by their occupants for not developing the proper infrastructure and over looking important details during the design.

GOOOOOOO JD!!! Good luck!

We our the local music capital of the world. This is known and should be respected. We have had multiple hotels do research during sxsw years before breaking ground to account for sound mitigation in the past, the Westin should have been no exception. If you stand under a tree full of birds, your gonna get messed on. You took the choice to stand under that tree. Sound familiar?

Leave the music venues alone they where here first.

Save The Nook

Been to Nook twice. I recall being there for a while. New business should have planned and built accordingly.

Best place to have a great time on 6th street.

Shoot your nose to spite your face. That's all the city of austin has ever known.

As a music lover, and native Austinite, it kills me to see corporations coming in and trying to change the live music capital of the world to fit in their convenient little boxes. Please Mayor Adler, keep corporations from ruining what makes this city so amazing.

Shameful that latecomer Westin would use corporate muscle to intimidate small business! No more Westin stays for me.

Well done Westin. You've just given me a reason to never patronize the Marriott hotel chain. What next, will you build a hotel in Wisconsin and complain about the smell of cow patties?

There isn't enough character space given to type out how much B.S this whole deal is.......

Preserve austins music culture! Corporations seek marketing potential to profit on austins music culture to sought out financial dominance on smaller businesses. Support local businesses!
