I haven't heard anything yet.
From the Houston Parrothead Club site: NO Sharkstock:
For those of you familiar with Kelly McGuire's song, "Blame it on Buffett," the title now hits really close to home for all of us here at Sharkstock. Within the last two days, Buffett has announced two upcoming shows that would have a major impact on Sharkstock this year - Houston on May 20th & Frisco on May 22nd, the same day as our main event was scheduled.
While Sharkstock is a great, fun Parrot Head event, we are not yet ready to take on a major concert by Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band and the infamous Frisco Parking Lot Party. So, Sharkstock 2010 will be rescheduled to accommodate the upcoming Dallas concert. Currently we are looking at late August / early September. We will be sure to get the new dates out as soon as we can get them secured.
We will contact everyone that has already registered and give them the option to use their registration on the new date, or for those that have registered and will not be able to attend on the new dates, your registration fee will be refunded promptly.
We are sorry for any inconvenience that this situation has caused, but we will re-focus our efforts to come up with an even better event later this year!
Thank you for your continued support and patience!
~ Your Dedicated Sharkstock Executive Committee

Hey all! This Ohio girl is coming down to Texas for the Houston show...can't wait! Looking forward to meeting some of you down there!
I will be visiting my friend who lives in San Antonio and we will be driving to the Woodlands on the day of the concert and will be staying the night in the area. Anyone have any suggestions on where to stay that is close to the venue? Any advice would be appreciated.

The Hilton Garden Inn is pretty nice and only about 1/2 a mile from the pavillion.

I will definitely be hunting you down! I remember when I met you in Cincinatti you told me I had to come to a concert in Texas sometime...well, Texas, here I come!
Can't wait to meet all of you Houston folks! Hope there is somewhere to go before the concert to pre-party.
Thanks for the tips on the hotels...I'll look into it. If anyone else has any suggestions, let me know.

Hey, Stacie, we are staying at the cheapo La Quinta which is near enough (about a mile)...because it's cheap. We'll just have to drive to the Woodland's Mall parking lot. I've never stayed anywhere out there.
Are you also going up to Frisco for that weekend too?
Being patient.

Which airport? Makes a big difference. IAH is up North, Hobby is south of downtown. Traffic on the North Freeway is usually bad.
