Bewilderment at Town Lake

Town Lake Pranksters Create Havoc

Today, thousands of residents were duped into thinking Town Lake offered "free cocktails and rent" today.

The confusion began at 9 a.m. when the leasing office opened. Employees were surprised to see a line of residents, Austin citizens and vagabonds outside demanding free booze 'n' snooze.

"We've never offered free rent--or booze," leasing office employee Sandra Hernandez said.

Employees asked those first in line where they got such false information and they pointed to a giant poster in front of the complex. Gate patrol investigated the situation and drew up the poster from resident descriptions.



Gate Patrol later found the culprit to be resident Bobby Hale and billed him for all the free rent and booze given out.
