Official Houston Rodeo thread Anyone go to opening night last night? We had front row seats to George Strait, he put on a good show (as usual). Nothing like spending $41 for four sandwiches and 2 beers. 
The intro to each concert this year is a video of Houstonians helping Katrina evacuees. It goes on for several minutes, showing all the nice things people did. What sucks is that we are left with a much higher crime rate since Katrina, and these 'guests' are causing all sorts of trouble in Houston. Needless to say, hardly anyone clapped or cheered like last year, it was almost silent, even heard a few booos. Last year, they played "I'm Proud to be an American" with a cool vid showing soldiers and stuff, and everyone cheered and clapped to that vid. This year, we get Katrina. I think we have had enough of Katrina here in Houston.
Going again this Sunday to see Clay Walker.
Also a note to any single dudes, you guys REALLY need to get your asses to the Rodeo. Think of it as the biggest collection of good looking girls in the city, all in one location. No kidding.

The show was terrific last night, but what do you expect it was George Strait.
The place was packed and about half of the crowd stayed untill he George left the arena. He has some of the most loyal fans i have ever seen. I really enjoyed the calf scramble, and like normal the rodeo was not that great. Once Brooks and Dunn comes around the rodeo should be great, it will be the finals.
I enjoyed the Johny Cash song the George sang, he always throws a little extra in his shows.

Yeah George Strait was pretty good. He mumbled at times and I couldnt understand what he was saying. Some of the songs ive never heard either but they were ok. As for the Katrina thing i couldnt agree more. The last thing I wanted to see was more of that crap. Last year was way better with the "proud to be american" theme.
As for the women running around there. lots of jail bait, last night there was a women sitting in the front row (we were in the second row) with some huge fake ****. she was damn good looking and her **** were millimeters from popping out. When she got up every guy was staring at her.

and sunday for clay and hopefully monday for Robert Earl Keen and Cross Canadian Ragweed. 
lol I was there last night, I agree on all items noted.
btw Id like to add that METRO sucks a big **** for cancelling the bus routes they have always had to the rodeo. I had to drive to the show and it sucked dick, wasted 2 hrs of my life trying to get in there....
probably not going again this year because of that.

I ended up getting some passes to Geroge Strait to hand out at one of our vendor's suites (209). That was great, free drinks, food, and a great performance. . I hope I can score some more tix like that. This was by far the best way to see the show.

Far as Texas country goes, yeah. I saw him play at Frontier Fiesta, been a fan of his music since I was in High school. nationaly I dont think he is all that well known, but far as Texas goes, he's very well known.
