Time to complain about #PointBreeze ignorance over some drinks at @AmericanSardine

Holy shit! You have a microphone in your hand. You don't need to yell! #PointBreeze

Also, we haven't voted yet. #PointBreeze

I believe that because some people can't behave like adults, the church is asking us to leave. #PointBreeze

Fun with zip codes! #PointBreeze

Semantics lessons here now: single family home does not literally mean a family of four lives there. #PointBreeze

One hour in. No progress beyond the first presentation. #PointBreeze

I believe "the community" just started a screaming match in the back. #PointBreeze

Suddenly, a lot of yelling in the back of the church. Damn me for sitting near the front! #PointBreeze

So, logical point brought up. Shouted down by houligans. #PointBreeze

Most of these questions/comments boil down to "Cool story, bro." #PointBreeze

Woman asking if the #PointBreeze and Titan commercial space can be a pharmacy. Not sure if she's for or against project.

Aaaaaaaand the first digression of the night: seven minutes in! #PointBreeze

@Doble37 Wrong! Jack Germond! #PointBreeze

Issue #1: What will issue #9 be? Pat Buchanan! #PointBreeze #McLaughlanGroup

Folks, let's have a clean fight. Stop screaming. Let's shake hands and come out zoning. #PointBreeze
