    I was thinking about this more today....

    Even though I have never been to Viva, there has been enough drama aired about it, here on the HAMB, to keep me from ever going.
    Just my $.02 Remember, I have no first-hand experience, just have seen enough of it here on the HAMB..... and the Roundup rules.

    round up is farther away from me than viva, but I think the round up is a better event.I would go to round up.
     
  3. Looks like Roundup-60, Viva-3.

    Well it looks like we are most likely gonna do both. Been to VLV. What should I expect out at the round up? What is there to see and do?

    Well, start here:
    http://www.lonestarroundup.com/schedule.html

    ...and do a search here on the HAMB for tons more info from previous years.

    There's also a Roundup forum that has been set up here:
    http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=49
    The closer we get to April, the more info you'll find posted there.
    There's tons of things to do in Austin. If you get bored, it's your own fault. :)

    Great!
    Let us know when you are leaving - there are quite a few other Omaha guys going down there!...
    Do you know where you are staying at?

    I was checking out the hotels listed on the Roundup site. What is the boarding like? Do you need reservations for sure? I know its a large event but it looked like there should be a lot of places to stay relatively close.

    If I were you, I'd make a reservation. Some of the hotels are already sold out..... Just one less thing you have to worry about when you get down there.

    My $.02.....first off Austin is a bad ass town period. Personally I havent been to round-up yet but have always wanted to go.

    While viva is an experience, i know and have heard from friends in attendance that the round up is definately an every year kinda thing to see

    :cool:
