Direct Address Lead- Do you feel safe letting your teen go to a live music venue alone? In Austin you can now safely assume that if you let your teen go to a live music venue on their own, they will be ok. Now that most of the 200 live music venues in Austin do not allow smoking, and are more strict about selling alcohol and checking I.D’s, these places offer a safe environment to listen to live music safely.  
Contrast and Compare- Up until recently live music venues in Austin allowed smoking, and were not always careful about serving alcohol to teenagers. Now most of the 200 venues in Austin do not allow smoking, and are very precautious about serving alcohol to teens. This makes Austin a safe environment for teens to listen to live music on their own.
Rhetorical Question-   Austin has always been considered by many, “the live music capitol of the world”, but have the live music venues, always been teen appropriate? Up until recently many people argued that teens should be accompanied when going to live shows. Now that most of the 200 live music venues in Austin do not allow smoking, and are more strict about selling alcohol and checking I.D’s, these places offer a safe environment to listen to live music safely.
