At the Austinbloggers<\/a> meetup last night, we relocated from FlightPath over to The Parlor<\/a> due to lack of seating. The parking at The Parlor was worse because of a gaggle of Roy’s Taxi cabs that were double-parked throughout the North Loop shopping center. One driver asked me in broken english where “monkey” something was. Turns out he was looking for Monkeywrench Books<\/a>. The Roy’s Taxi drivers were meeting to discuss their recent acquistion by rival Yellow Cab<\/a>. Rumor has it that the driver compensation at Yellow is worse than at Roy’s. You can draw your own conclusions about the meeting’s location and its agenda.<\/p>\n

Prentiss<\/a> mentioned that he tried to use Roy’s because it’s local, but that they’re too unreliable. If you must use Yellow Cab, go for the Land Yacht<\/a>.
