(Update at 12:42 p.m.: I just spoke with DeLoney, who says Ricardo "isn't taking the judge seriously" and is asking Judge Molberg for another hearing today before tomorrow's scheduled mediation. According to the attorney, Ricardo "spent maybe nine hours" returning the pilfered equipment over the last few days and has failed to reinstall the kitchen equipment, including a cooler, to working order. And, DeLoney says, "someone has tampered with the electricity," which the power company says should be working but isn't. "He's costing his mother a lot of money," DeLoney says.)
And, you want to know about that big Fair Park announcement the Friends of Fair Park tweeted last week. The short answer: There is no major announcement. As I understand it from a city official who's spoken with Craig Holcomb, who's yet to return my call, the Friends' exec director "misread an e-mail then misspoke" via tweet concerning big doings at Fair Park. Daniel Huerta, the exec general manager at Fair Park, did tell me Friday he might have an announcement this week concerning something unrelated, but he offered no new news during yesterday's council briefing. Instead, he told the council CityArts Festival was moving from the Arts District to Fair Park in May (which we already knew -- hence its recent rebranding as "A Fair Park Festival") and said the State Fair's still on track to open Summer Place Park by the summer of 2012. I've left another message for Huerta, who's at an awards ceremony this morning, and will update this update when he responds to see if he's got something else up his sleeve.
