Live stream: Cactus Cafe rally at UT
The Student Friends of the Cactus Cafe, a group at the University of Texas that wants to preserve the well-known music venue, is holding a rally today on the West Mall from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Speakers will include state Rep. Rep. Elliott Naishtat of Austin, City Council Member Laura Morrison and Austin Music Commission Chairman Brad Stein.
The advisory board for the Texas Union, in which the cafe is located, is scheduled to consider various proposals for “repurposing” the venue at a meeting this afternoon. UT officials plan to shut down the cafe in August in a cost-saving move.

Notice that no one is buying drinks / food from Cactus Cafe. All those people are listening to free music. Thus, Cactus Cafe is losing money.

Mike B are you serious?
I buy lots of drinks (and a cab fare) every time I go to Cactus Cafe. I would even donate money to keep it open IF THAT WAS POSSIBLE.
Please go back to California Mike B
