*** Official Texas 2016 ***

Email just went out saying tour dates are coming soon. Interesting to note it didn't mention "2 sets" like last year's pre announcement

Let's get this party started!

    One of the rumors this year says the tour starts mid week in Texas on May 11th, which is a Wednesday. If true, maybe Austin will be back in the mix.

    I wish they would put them all together.

    Thursday - Austin
    Friday - Woodlands
    Saturday - Dallas

    Then I could hit all 3.

    For me, the ideal would be

    Wed: Austin
    Fri: Woodlands
    Sat: Dallas

    I could hit all 3, and perhaps have my work pay for one or both of my hotels too

    I'd like Fri-Sun if they're going to run them all together, with Austin being Sunday or Friday.

    I'd be surprised if Texas gets three shows again though, so I'm not sure if I'm buying that rumor.

    The source it came from was a first time rumor submitter, not one I've gotten stuff from in the past.

    Hey TX. I moved out of state so I probably won't be able to come to the TX shows this year. I'm still hanging out here though.

    Hello again

    a mid-week start would suck but I'm not skipping Austin again so I'll just have to deal with it.

    Of course The Woodlands show is May 13 or 14, because guess which weekend is the Iron-Man race

    I went ahead and booked refundable for that weekend both ways - Dallas/Woodlands then Woodlands/Dallas, and I'll just chance whichever ones don't work out.

    We booked the Super 8 in Conroe again. It's about the same price as the Days Inn we usually stay in, but we stayed there last year since the Days Inn was booked up and found it to be a much nicer place.

    Booked Fri & Sat and will just cancel whichever one we don't need (refundable rooms)

    conroe has some much nicer (newer) hotels, it's also a drive for us drinkers.

    we'll figure it out, always do

    Yeah we usually only drink pre show, and not a lot, so we usually don't mind driving.

    Always book refundable tickets, not worth the 10% savings in my opinion.

    I owe shotglasses to some people who paid - please make sure you remind me. Still have some leftover for this year, before they go on ETSY.

    You'll get them this year. They are now collectibles and are very valuable.

    It wasn't 10% through their site, it was like 1/3 the price through Hotwire, so even after eating a night, it was still cheaper than booking a refundable res through their site would have been.

    That makes sense to book it then. I get a points through traveling for work, so my hotels for DMB are usually free anyway.
