Subject:	Transformers 2
Question:	When, if ever, are you planning on getting Transformers 2? It has already been out for almost a week now and when I call to inquire about it I got this response, "We only get the best movies first." Does this make Transformers 2 second rate? I have always been very pleased with your ability to really bring home a little something that everybody is wanting to see, but you dropped the ball this time. What's next? You gonna punt the ball or go long? - JEA

Editor's Comment:	Mayfest Hill located along Loop 150 next to the American Legion Hall has a covered pavilion show area and an open arena where the Brent Thurman Memorial Bull Ride will be held this weekend. Coming from Austin (Highway 71), the easiest way to get there is going to Loop 150 (Chestnut) through town and going up the road to the top of the hill where the road splits (to the left-Highway 21 and to the right Loop 150 continues)-stay on loop 150 and you will come upon the American Legion and take a right unto American Legion Drive and you will see the Arena to your left. Coming from Houston (Highway 71) at the Tahitian Drive and Loop 150 intersection light, take a right to get on Loop 150 and continue till you see the American Legion Hall and just as you pass it is American Legion Drive and turn left there and you will see the Arena to the left.
