Miss Kitty Did It!

Check out this nugget gleaned from the March 15 edition of The Austin Chronicle.

SXSW 2007 wasted no time in reigniting issues between nightclubs and various regulatory bodies that never truly go away. The Scoot Inn's beer/wine license got yanked literally midsong at the Turbojugend Texas party. It still belonged to the previous owner, who called the TABC Wednesday and canceled. About 4pm, agents showed up and told the bar to shut down, and manager Joe Sebastian and staff were still trying to figure out a solution at press time

We presume that Miss Kitty K. Killy was somehow involved in drinking the bar dry, but that local officials saw fit to intervene before the hefty tab hit the counter. This was probably a good thing for the poisonedpens.com corporate Visa card. Either way, getting a bar closed in mid-party at 4:00 p.m. is a special accomplishment, and some might consider it a resume-worthy accomplishment.

Expect to see a full 2007 South by Southwest report from Miss Kitty after she returns from post-festival rehab.

Hopefully she will not have a shaved head.
