    The Woodlands is the best venue in the country that isn't a "natural venue". Location, cleanliness, ushers/security. Never a shit show. Just perfect.

    fuck 2 sets. need 2 shows.

    I think a mix of woodlands and camden would make the perfect venue ever.

    woodlands - lawn, cleanliness, location, cool lookin

    camden - pregame options, reserved section layout, indoor concessions, fireball dispensers, you can take a boat to the show

    The people at the Woodlands class it up. The people in Camden... well.. they're from Camden.

    Y'all like hoppy beers? I'm drinking a hoppy wheat beer that would be great at the tailgate. It's nice and citrusy but not bitter.

    I don't do pit, maybe that's why I've never been in the pic

    Just our little crew takes the pit pic.

    We take a big group pic at the tailgate in Dallas; though sometimes wrangling everyone into it can be a chore.

    I need to invest in a cattle prod.



    Oh, and I need a new flag pole. I gave mine away at Gorge.

    I shipped it out there, and didn't feel like trying to ship it home. It was too flimsy and short anyway.


    Going to step it up a notch with the new one.

    The wife has never done pit and wants to do it at a show this summer.

    Which TX pit is better? I'm not a pit fan, but I figured I would compromise for one show.

    Woodlands pit is tiny, and the last couple years they have been over filling it.

    Dallas pit is huge, but if you're willing to stand on one of the sides, there's plenty of room to move about.

    If you request pit and get declined do you go to reserved or lawn?

    you can request pit, and opt out of lawn so that you will go to reserved if you don't get pit.

    yes.

    and i would suggest requesting pit for everything. if you get it and don't want it, i'll trade you my seats.

    woodlands pit is the bomb though. A/C FTW!

    I can do that. I'm sure if I get pit at both shows I can trade easily.

    I heard last year from a friend who does booking with the Austin venue there was talk of dropping Dallas and making Austin a 2 night show and leaving the Woodlands as a one night show, which I would have gladly taken.

    It sucks their experience in Austin didn't go well.

    Ginos East was disappointing. The Supreme end crust did not seem cooked all the way and the rest of the pizza was pretty soggy and watery. The kids cheese pizza seemed to be cooked more fully. I will definitely go back and try their Italian Beef, but it looks like I'm going to have to wait until my next trip to Lou's in Chicago for good deep dish.
