On this 32nd episode of BoomATX Glenn sits down with Damon Jones who has been working hard to Keep Austin Weird by bringing a restored 100-year-old carousel to town for both kid and adult enjoyment and having unbelievably good luck!  Cutting his teeth in the event world spearheading Alamo Draft House’s Fantastic Fest, Damon is now looking to bring a one-of-a-kind, only-in-Austin event venue, The Magistery, that hopes to combine the enjoyment of an epic Austin flavored carousel plus live music, food and beverage as well as potentially a restored vintage Chuck-E-Cheese animatronic band….. 

That’s right, a guy bringing a carousel back to life in Austin is an incredible story but throw in quite possibly the most random and unbelievable side story in BoomATX history that involves animal rodents, Alamo Draft House founder Tim League and History Channel Secret Renovation reality show and we think we have an episode you don’t want to miss.
