Who's playing? So I can decide whether or not I want to go with you. Will I have to put out if I do?Quote:

The Mavericks. All you gotta put out is a decent 2 step ;)Quote:

Cool. What are you wearing so that I can coordinate. I want people to know that we're together. I was thinking of wearing some low rise jeans and a revealing top.Quote:

You've been to Gruene Hall, iirc?Quote:

So Gruene isn't as nice as Floore's? Gruene gets hot as hell too.Quote:

I meant Floores isn't as nice. I haven't been to either one in a long time but I'm never going to either in the summer ever againQuote:

I like FLoores its a great outdoors venue. If the Mavericks are bigger than Randy Rogers or Gary Allen I would suggest getting loaded before you go as the Beer lines can be a 15 minute wait. If they are an up & coming band you are going to have a great time. Plenty of Port O Potys and Beer booths. If it is indoor it can get crowded fast inside but its still always fun. I like floores its a cool cozy place to see an outdoor concert. You could stop at Bad Dogz bar on the way. Its about a mile or two from the Venue if you want to eat and get loaded.
I'll have to check it out. Sounds like my kind of music.Quote:

Hopefully it doesn't rain.
I had a great time! Liked that venue way more than Gruene Hall; the indoor space has good a/c, but the show was outside and it was not too hot last night. I don't do many standing room only shows but this one was not so crowded so it was easy to move around and get lots of good vantage points. The fact that I won the tickets made it even better, not sure I'd pay the $35 (or more) for a more popular act with a bigger crowd.
One of my favorite live albums ever was recorded there. Robert Earl Keen's "No. 2 Live at Dinner". He's actually about to re-record another show there for the 20th anniversary of the album.
mrsmaalox - parking is indeed frustrating, but if you go east of Floore's there's a public lot that people don't park in for some reason.

True. And super expensive to live here now.Quote:
