What can you do? All I can say is thank God for youtube, and tapes.

It was great seeing everyone again, what a great Texas stand! I need to make a point to be more active on the boards again.

The band exceeded my expectations, even if the playlists had some moments of repetition for me (that didn't happen to be my preferred repetitions). I wish I could see a late season show to see how things evolve.

Moment of the weekend for me was Typical Situation at the Woodlands.

I'd say it's more about how high the supply is, but demand is less for ATX and a tuesday night.

Texts me an hour before the show bailing on the ticket he agreed to buy.

why are you (read:anyone) entitled to knowing how he gets his tickets?

No, no it is not. But I will laugh heartily.

yes, it is. those songs were jamalamin, and jimi is blah.

I think I have a solution to your problem...stop coming to our state, then.

I thought the sound was great in the pit slightly to the side halfway back...

I was kind of digging it, i always think there's never enough bass. stefan is definitely turned up more this tour and i dig it.

Dave came out dancing and excited and some dumbass has to throw a damn sock covered violin.

I'm pretty sure it was a monkey..

They really were. As much as I shit on the repeats of SU and Bayou, I would've enjoyed them. I always skip them on cd's but live they can be funky as hell.

I'll forever kick myself for not going this weekend. Would've been one hell of a vacation.

God I love you crazy ass texans.

Nope, it was a violin. Dave wasn't thrilled but shrugged it off.

I was near the rail and it appeared to be just a shirt, perhaps a Texas one. Dave tossed it up on to the drum kit and it fell off and stayed the second time he tossed it there.

[Floyd47]

It still amazes me how many times Grey Street has been played at the Woodlands and how few times it has been played in Dallas over the years

[wonderwes]

Rarely I think a poster is worthy to be put in a frame. My Las Vegas 2009 with the Ace of spades and the 2010 Chicago Wrigley Field one is another I have framed. The Austin poster is freaking fantastic and so glad I was able to get one.

Bingo. After watching the video I only caught one item get thrown up that Dave put on the riser, which was a custom Univ of Texas Longhorns football jersey with Beauford #41 on it. The guy that threw it was right in front of me and showed it to the people around us before throwing it.. assuming that was the only thing thrown, I can confirm that's what it was

Entire show if not already shared. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqIoH5oxMuM

[SeekNancyUp]

I loved this outro in LB. With no Boyd there's no domination of the outro by one band member. Each member gets to play and it's more cohesive. You can tell Dave loves it.

Can anyone give me an approximation of when, time-wise, the "bucket of fuck it" comments were made in Austin?

Before or after She was played.

[Floyd47]

I was listening to the Woodlands 2018 show this morning. In Stefan's Crush intro, he plays a few notes that sound like Let You Down.

Locals:

We’re in Houston this weekend for a reunion.

My daughter is flying out of IAH Sunday at 6:35. I’ve never used this airport before - how are the waits/security? She’s flying United so I’m trying to plan how early we need to get there.

not a local, but my wife and I flew out of IAH after our cruise last January... security was a breeze. This was around 11 AM on a Sunday. We flew American Airlines both ways, not sure if there are other terminals to that airport though?

[Lee3691]

United is the biggest airline, so lines will be longer. It is really random if there are lines though.

IAH is pretty quick if I remember correctly, but I don’t know if I’ve ever been through security there - just customs. I’ve always had an international connection there so any security I went through was probably connected to customs.

Decided to stay an extra night in Houston, what’s some good kid friendly stuff I can do with my son? He’s 4.

We’re going to the aquarium for lunch today.

Are the astros home?

[daveshookme]

I love rooting against that midget, your son might have a few inches on him too.

The last game I saw here was at the Astrodome when I was a kid
It’s been a while.

We thought about it, but it’s so hot out. Yesterday we went to San Jacinto, the USS Texas and the downtown area and he was miserable.

It in the 90’s but feels like 110. This TX Heat is no joke. I don’t know how locals handle it

Basically just used to it, and lots of cold water.

It's always a trip to see people carted off on stretchers at ACL because people from out of town think they can just drink all day in the Texas sun without hydrating properly. And that's in October. People would seriously die if they had ACL in July.

[RiotAct]

it’s a dry heat though..... right?

[ExistenceNow]

Not really, and definitely not in Houston. Houston is muggy as balls.

[artiej1120]

Anyone have the measurements for the Austin poster? Is it 16x24? I have extra 18x24 frames but it’s not fitting those.

[mposey34]

Hey y'all, I'm selling a couple tickets to the Jason Isbell show at Bass Hall in Austin on August 25th for face value. They are e-tickets and I can email them to you.
