    If any venue in Texas should get 2 nights it's the Woodlands. Would also eliminate the 4-5 repeats we get in Dallas.

    i meant originally i'd prefer a dallas show regardless for hometown visit/friends purposes.

    I'd rather dallas or woodlands get a 2 night stand over austin. and certainly over cutting out dallas.

    Fuck Dallas.

    And yeah. Repeats are bad. I mean, 6 songs is a quarter of the show. And that was one set. Acoustic set makes it worse.

    I'd miss the tailgate for sure, but would still trade Dallas for two Woodlands.

    2x Austin would be even better. Great venue, tailgating, and my home town.

    Baker St is fun, but it's hard to get everyone together since it gets so crowded. We can usually hold down like a 15-top, but that's about it.

    I really want to rent out/reserve a little park one year, and hold a (much much smaller) Ballsfest type deal.

    yeah...there's just something about going to a bar before an outdoor concert that just doesn't feel right, especially in Texas.

    If you're not a hotel snob like Austin, a bunch of us are staying at the Days Inn in the Woodlands.

    If you are, Conroe is going to be your best bet.


    The problem is that for the third year in a row, DMB weekend is the same weekend as the Iron Man race, and those fuckers book up all the hotels a year in advance.

    We've stayed there the last two years. It's fine. Nothing fancy, but it's not like a crack den.


    We're all staying at the Sheraton in Dallas. It's pretty nice, and we got it for like $70 on Hotwire again this year.

    Would totally be down for that. Still wanna eat at Gino's East, as well, while we're in town.

    For the past 3 years we've stayed at the Days Inn in Conroe. There's two different ones, but both are solid hotels - we've stayed at both. And not far from the venue at all.

    Gino's is half a mile from my place. So that's completely doable. Eat Gino's for lunch, then pool party/grille out pregame.

    I think we are just going to start driving up towards Dallas after the Woodlands show, if we don't have to go home instead. We will just grab a room somewhere along the way.

    On the homebrew keg front, I've been told by my wife that I should do it, so it looks like it will get done this time. Hopefully I don't regret it.
