If you are going to cookoff for the concerts, you are doing it wrong.

I'll probably grab a couple beers and wander over for Great Divide for a couple songs since I've never seen them, but that's it.

I have seen Cowie open for Creager before. He is pretty good. Did a great cover of a Turnpike song.

I don't go for the concerts, but I use a good act as an excuse to get out of my tent for a while...

So last year we had Roger Creager, Kevin Fowler and Reckless Kelly and this year we get Wade Bowen? I like Wade, but past him there isn't much.
Mike and the Moonpies. was wondering why they weren't on any stage schedules.

Excuse me, they're now Silverada. Shame on me for dead-naming them.

They are Silverada now? How fancy. Definitely a little more slick than Mike and the Moonpies

Yeah, thought it might be a joke at the first, but they put out a statement on the reasons for the change. They are now "Formerly Mike and the Moonpies" on their new dates.

Playing the Opry this Summer, guess they're trying to move up from the bar band image.

Review of MAGA Dylon show.

Oliver Anthony: MAGA's answer to Dylan promised a call to arms but dragged like a weekday open mic (msn.com)

L O ****ing L. what a hilarious review.

His show is going to be a complete train wreck. He might end up having to play his richmond song about five times on the rodeohouston stage.

How is next week shaping up?
President's Day (Monday) will start off chilly in the upper 30s with a light frost possible, but after that a big warmup is coming with many sun-filled days. High temperatures are likely to exceed 80 degrees both Wednesday and Thursday, but the humidity will stay in a comfortable range. It will definitely feel like spring has sprung! A weaker cold front is expected to arrive just ahead of the weekend.

Just wanted to give kudos to TXAG 05 and his Special Children's Committee for a great experience at the Top Hands Horse Show this past weekend. My 9-year-old son competed in 3 events, English Trail, English Equitation, and Barrels. He was diagnosed with Autism at 4 and ADHD at 6. My son's equine-assisted occupational therapists are also on the committee, and they suggested that we participate after attending last year.

Horse shows are completely foreign to us since we haven't been exposed to them before. But from start to finish, our family had a positive experience. You could really tell that the people there, from the mascots to the bigwigs presenting awards to the snack table, really cared about each family and wanted them to have a great time.

One example was near the end yesterday, my son was having a hard time after his final event, and he didn't want to have his picture taken after getting his medal. The gentleman presenting his award was very gracious and knew exactly when to take a step back and let him have his space.

Thank you to TXAG 05 and his team. This is definitely something our family will do again.

Thank you for that, it was great meeting you and your family and so happy y'all had a great experience. I'm obviously biased, but there is just nothing like Top Hands, I already can't wait for next year.

Special thanks to Ferris Wheel for coming out and presenting awards. I really appreciate y'all taking the time to help make the experience even better

I haven't been to the rodeo in years and we're going to see Zac Brown. My understanding is that the performance starts at 9:00. Do most people tend to get there around 7:00 - 8:00 ? I'm trying to get an idea as to when the traffic is at its peak.

The rodeo starts at 6:45. Zac Brown should have a pretty big crowd so I'd get there as early as you can. The concert will start around 9 although last year they started closer to 9:30 on a lot of nights. It just depends on how quickly they get through the events.

From 4:00 on the traffic and gates get worse by the hour. I have found that if you can get down there by 5:30 it is a lot easier to park and you can enjoy the grounds and food. Rodeo will start at 6:45 and the concert around 9:00. Most begin the enter the rodeo between 7:30-8:30. Hope this helps.

  • Weekday rodeos start at 6:45 p.m. The entertainer takes the stage at approximately 9 p.m. NRG Stadium gates open at 6 p.m.

It's a Thursday, so there will be normal 610 South Loop traffic from about 4:30PM and on backed up from 288 in either direction, plus the rodeo traffic piling up after 5.

And avoid Main Street coming out of downtown. It's a parking lot with bad red lights. I made that mistake just trying to get to a dinner party in the subdivision near the stadium. Nightmare of delays.
