Went for my first time last night with the gf to see Luke Bryan. The show waz actually pretty damn good. I got some mediocre bbq and both of us got pretty hammered. She kept whispering in my ear that she was going to do dirty things to me when we got back to the hotel, and she delivered.

Having watched the lines of traffic that went on for hours and the accidents.. I feel we were much safer walking the .5 miles back to the hotel.

this right here. even lines for cabs/uber are hours long. Crowne Plaza is just across the street and there's a Holiday Inn next to the north parking lot.

if it's still the same as a few years ago (I usually have a hotel near NRG because of this), you have to wait in line after the show for Uber/Lyft/cabs. which sucks dick. 

light rail is much easier and you get to see the drunk bitches make fools of themselves.

There was only one drunk bitch on our way back on the rail...

Ahh the good old days of riding the bus from west campus into sixth Street and friends drunk off their minds screaming Texas fight

Wish it'd happen at the rodeo in the light rail.

Kept debating whether to Uber or take the train, both of which presented issues. Finally just got a town car service. Drop off just across Kirby from the front of NRG, pickup on Kirby. Very fast and easy.

Went to Turnpike yesterday. The Chute seats were great.

For parking - go on StubHub and get a green lot parking pass. I paid $25 for mine. Easy in and out of the area.

This cowboy puked right after his ride:

Bump. 

Not a great lineup this year, and I say that as a proud Houston Rodeo member/committeeman. I’ll see Maren Morris on Saturday, and we’ll see where it goes from there. If they’re going to bring in acts like Cardi B, Lizzo, and Chance the Rapper, they should back the Brinks truck up for Post Malone.

Wife and I are taking the kid to see Marshmello. He’s 8 and is obsessed. I like some of his songs, so it should be a good time, minus the Coronavirus we will all end up with.

We shall see. It’s usually pretty easy for me to find a good, open seat, but Lizzo is going to be packed. I might take my medicine and go sit over by the Chute Club.

WTF?
 
I have never heard of this, but WTF?


He got popular doing online shows and is a character / plays Fortnite. He’s teamed up with some big names and mixed some decent songs. He remixed Selena Gomez’s song Wolves. My son loves him, so we going.

So Austin cancelled SXSW but the HLSR goes on. 

I guess only Futureman knows how it will turn out but what sez the Shaggy Collective on those respective decisions?

My wife works for HLSR.  Deals with stock contractor, contestants, judges and timers.  She's there at 8 am and home at midnight.  Erryday for 3 weeks.  

I guess I'm gonna soon get the bug.  Nice knowing you buncha meatheads.

I'm going to Stapleton. Work downtown. Will probably take the rail there and back to avoid the parking/leaving shit show.

I don't know why the word "probably" is mentioned. You are downtown. Take the rail.

Damn chance the rapper was pretty damn good tonight 

 Saw that he was performing. A lot has changed since I was in high school, which was the last time I went.  We saw Charlie Rich and other good old country boys. There would have been a riot if rap music was on the docket. But then I'm old.

I take the train to every weekday show. Uber is usually pretty good on the weekends.

Chance the Rapper was really good.  I had no idea what to expect.  Kid wanted to go so off we went.  Really enjoyed it.  I Was surprised it wasn't that crowded.  The carnival wasn't that packed, and the show was crowded but nothing overwhelming.  easily found parking nearby, easy to get out off there.  took all of 8 minutes to get home.

Announced that 2021 won't be doing any concerts ... but will still try and do the Junior show type things.

 

"To ensure the rodeo will safely host a livestock show competition and follow the health and safety guidelines, the show will mainly focus on the Junior Show and select Youth Show events, foregoing its mostly adult-focused Open Show, according to a release."

I think it’s too early to announce anything, but here we are. Rodeo shifts will be interesting. I guess they’ll whack it down from 4 required shifts to 2-3. Rookies will probably have to work 4 instead of 5.Regardless it’s going to be a slow show with a lot of standing around. 
 

Texas Football has been a shit show for a decade. Volunteering at HLSR is a great way to throw yourself into something that isn’t football. Rodeo Season is a blast. More fun than Football Season in my opinion. I’d encourage every Texas Ex and Texas fan living in Greater Houston to volunteer and join a committee.

And the Spurs will still have to go on the road for 2 weeks. 

Even though the rodeo is in the Freeman Coliseum this year?
