Event Coverage who's going to the lonestar roundup? what's everybody doing in the evenings?

so who all is going to the lonestar roundup and what has everyone got planned for the evenings after roundup?

 

The Giddyup had a real good party last year. Special parking out back for R&C's. Dale Watson played.
It was a good time. damned if I can remember how to get there. Ha!

 

Ill be there, hopefully running around town in a hemi roadster and having some Shiner (after driving, not before). At night, you probably wont catch me on congress unless I got there early and parked. It's usually a good way to get a leg cramp and over heated engine if you are running up and down the street. Everywhere else is fair game.

 

I'm going. I usually go to Congress in the evenings. Finding a parking space near by is hard, and almost impossible on the drag. Last year people were parking their daily drivers on Congress way ahead of time to "hold" their spot.

 

thinking about coming in early for the bbq in Taylor. Is it worth making it to?

 

Don't miss the bbq!

 

We went to top notch last year and will be going back one night

 

BBQ is a good time, laid back and lots to see...

 

The Roundup is busy! We stay on the run just about the whole time - besides I like the driving between places. Here is what we did in 2014 (and what we knew about but missed). All the activities away from the fair grounds are great in themselves (especially if you are into the music Austin has to offer); there is just too much going on at the same time to see it all.

In addition to what has been said, the party at the Austin Speed Shop is a must do. And the scene on Congress is a must to avoid unless one of your favorite bands is playing at the Continental Club.

 

Don't forget garage crawl Friday morning , if it still happening . Favorite!

 

It was my first time there, after the fairgrounds and a nap I went to Austin Speed shop open house and then Congress at just kicked back and watched. Seems to be plenty to do ,just don't forget to relax also.

 

I am not going as far as I can tell but if I were there in the evenings I would be doing one or all of 3 things, eating Texas BBQ, drinking Pearl (can you still get Pearl beer?) in a can and Jack Daniels Black and trying my damnedest to get lucky. Number 1 and number 3 would be highest on my list and number 2 would just have to do if number 3 was not an option.

 

AT your age beeno I suggest a nap first! HRP

 

In my lawn chair on Congress.

 

Good deal! HRP
