That's a good point.

Also, yes, it is confirmed that a 911 call was placed from Chuy's.

I didn't see it myself although I pass by this restaurant every morning... there is a rival restaurant that has a marquee in front that typically has a kind of "thought of the day" every morning. Usually they are poking fun of someone or playing off headlines. For example, after a UT winning streak and during Pres W. Bush's campaign the sign read, "Mack Brown for Governor" (Brown is the UT Football coach).... anyway, last week, the sign read something like, Austin's #1 Snitch, Chuy's Management. (Anyone else out there in Austin see this marquee at El Arroyo?)

Another thought about the "is it news?" question: Someone mentioned Jenna's appendectomy earlier... I guess I can actually see that being in the news MORE than this alcohol thing simply because I'm sure when the media heard that a 911 call for an ambulance was placed to the Governor's Mansion there could be an assumption that something was wrong with the Governor/President Elect - that seems like more of a public interest kind of thing.

It's just a thought.
