Clay & Jason: So testy for a holiday. I removed Clay's comment because the language was o'er the line.
To Jason's original question: The EFF has a good guide on defamation, etc: http://w2.eff.org/bloggers/lg/
In posting comments, you are responsible for your own words. The truth is the best shield against a claim, but anyone can file a law suit that can be costly to defend.

So I've been told before that there's a glass shop (or was it a stone shop) around I-30 and Dolphin that is a perfect viewing spot for the fireworks. Zat so? Anyone know how to get there? I also seem to remember that it had no frontage road entrance.

We greatly appreciate your participation and invite you stay connected by visiting http://www.DeepEllumAssociation.com and signing up to receive news and information about Deep Ellum and the launch of our new community website that will designed to serve your needs.
If you want to see Deep Ellum's unique character, culture, and history survive, then you can help by joining the Deep Ellum Association individually or as a business. We recommend getting involved with the various community groups and making your voice heard at the small meetings hosted by neighborhood organizations throughout the month of July.
We need to get started as soon as possible with the meetings that were announced at last week's Town Hall. The goal of the upcoming micro-meetings is to help identify the ideas, needs and goals of our neighborhood's diverse groups, and to bring a variety of neighborhood groups and city officials together to see how each can assist and help the neighborhood thrive. The list of small micro-meetings to be held are listed below and will be hosted at Life in Deep Ellum and other area businesses.
If you are interested in hosting or spearheading one of these meetings, please contact Tanner Hockensmith: tanner@lifecommunities.org

The upcoming group meetings will have at least three main goals:
a. To identify problems that the group is having and try to present solutions that can be reached among city and various Deep Ellum groups.
b. Set up lines of communication between people in that group and continued meetings.
c. Brainstorm marketing ideas, and other ways to promote neighborhood groups and businesses.
The Deep Ellum Association welcomes your input and wants to assist with any projects that fit Deep Ellum's character, culture, and history.

Nice song connection.
We're friends with Josh and the Range crew and they've been doing some much-appreciated name dropping lately.

Many of the galleries in the neighborhood all have art openings on the same night, and they are all within walking distance of each other.
