If you are poor, then you just need to keep being poor somewhere other than the Austin Food & Wine Festival on April 26th – 28th. Rich people do not have time to listen to poor people complain about the cost of this event. I have a feeling the rich people are the people slinging sentences like— “Stop complaining about how expensive the Austin Food & Wine Festival is.”
First of all, no one around here is being an Austin Food & Wine Festival hater. No way. Anyone talking smack about anything having to do with Austin is a brave soul nearing the end of existence as they know it, especially if they live in Dallas. Austin people do not mess around when it comes to Austin. All I’m saying is there’s really nothing any event can offer that validates spending $850 for a ticket. This is how I feel and as long as I’m a citizen of the United States of America, Austin people have to let me express these feelings. It’s my right somewhere in the constitution. All is not lost for almost rich people! Please rejoice, for there is a $250 ticket available as well.
