Houston is a great site for Gulf Coast PH's. We can get there and back by normal means. Well it is hard to be normal after a Buffett concert. I wonder, since the Woodlands is a non-tailgate site and only 10,000 plus seats, JB may be going for larger venues. I'm sure if he went to the Astros stadium, it would be huge, although I like the smaller venue. Houston period would be acceptable.

No, they won't let anyone tailgate at the Woodlands Pavillion, but I do love that venue.

It is so much fun to go to the parking lots and watch people start setting up for tailgating after they know it isn't allowed.
Big men with BIGGER horses come by and make them stop.
I know tailgating is part of the Buffett experience, but if you can't, you can't...GET OVER IT and either meet us at Papa's or find someplace else for a pre-party :D

The Woodlands is a great site, especially staying at the Marriott and walking to the pavillion. Also, it seems that Jimmy really likes the Woodlands, maybe he will do us a favor and come to Houston.

My sister lives in the Woodlands,so I am praying for another concert there,but anywhere in Houston would work. I check every morning to see if by some miracle the tour date fairy left me a gift. Hasn't anyone heard any rumors that will sustain us ?

I wasn't being mean, I was being Honest. I just don't find oil refineries surrounded by a highway to be beautiful.

That is Pasadena...not Houston.

I agree with Pasadena not being very pretty and it usually smells :roll: .
But the Woodlands is completely different...heavily wooded and right now, lots of bluebonnets and other wildflowers :D
