    Thanks for the heads-up!

    Thanks for the great advice and taking the time to post this.

    My son is the one graduating, so I am looking for advice more in the area of where to park, when to get there, bet places to sit, etc. My 80 year old mom will be with me, so I am trying to do a little advanced planning. You know, insider tips from someone who has been through one before.

    Any advice? .....and no, staying at home and watching it on The Longhorn Network is not an option. Thanks!

    I second the Perini Ranch Steakhouse recommendation. Well worth the short scenic drive to Buffalo Gap. Also, check out the Brick Oven Pizza Co.

    My Longhorn graduate is starting a new job this summer in The Woodlands, and is thinking about living in Conroe as apartments appear to be a little less expensive. That of course means driving I-45 to and from work daily. What is the traffic like for that commute? Hook'em!

    Keep your head on a swivel, and connected to your body.

    Staying at Sam's Town in April on a Saturday night for a concert, and was wondering if I will be able to find $5 3:2 tables, double deck if possible, there or in the area?

    My wife says the gypsies are very prominent at Saturday evening mass at Holy Family.

    He alright. No DJ Jazzy Jeff.

    I read this article today myself and wondered the same thing. Saw they have a location in Burleson too, so if it is as good as advertised, I may have to make the trip to check it out.

    My wife and I saw the Michael Jackson show last May at The Mandalay Bay, and while entertaining, it was LOUD. Of course I am an old so maybe it wasn't really that loud. Fremont Street on the other hand is great! I have always stayed on the strip until my last trip 3 weeks ago, when my son and I were at Main Street Station for 3 nights. Cheap food, cheap drinks, cheap gambling, and decent inexpensive rooms can't be beat! Not to mention the awesome bands and people watching at The Fremont Street Experience every evening. Also, whether you stay downtown or not, check out the Mob Museum. It takes about 2 hours and is well worth the price.

    Bally's has had $5 craps early in the morning, but expect most strip properties to be $10 at a minimum. Four Queens and all other downtown casinos to have $5 tables 24/7. At least this was the case when I was there 3 weeks ago Tuesday-Thursday. 2nd the Ellis Island diner and brewery, and get the steak dinner special with their player's card.

    Let's hope the Montgomery Street road crew is not working this one or it could be years.

    I tried Brix BBQ in the Americado Food Hall on Saturday. The lean brisket, pork ribs, and homemade sausage were all excellent. The cilantro based coleslaw and ranch style beans were pretty good too. There is wait service, and one single menu/check for all of the food stands and the full bar. Much better set up than having to stand in line. Brix is only there weekends.

    Maybe Montgomery St. will be done by then!

    I'm sure Central Market would have prepared dinners if you were leaning towards the take home option.

    We flew out of Dulles after the Maryland game, and I have to say it is probably the cleanest and most organized airport I have ever flown through.

    I went to the recently reopened Sammie's BBQ on Belknap for lunch on Saturday after reading their new pitmaster is from La Barbecue. I had the two meat platter with two sides. The lean brisket was moist and tender, and the pork ribs were very good. Added bonus for me was the mustard potato salad which few places seem to get right, but this place does.

    I went there last week and can report that the gumbo is legit.

    I plan to give it a shot soon since I work downtown, but for me, it will be hard to beat Hop Fusion.

    Long time lurker and Arlington Heights resident here. Went to Barrel and Bones in Montgomery Plaza last night. Brisket was way under-cooked, and a can of Community Witbier was $7. Even though the service was excellent and the owner engaging, I probably won't be back.
