Tailgating In Houston for the Texans Game (2 Viewers)

[Tazman]

Bud light would work for my wife and I for beer. Looking forward to this (I looked at weather.com and the hour by hour forecast had most of the rain being during the early morning hours of Sunday, so let's hope that what happens).

I'm really looking forward to this, too, and I cannot wait to finally meet several sr.com members...should I bring nametags?

Anyone know what the parking rules are on La Concha (north of Reliant, by the Holiday Inn) on gamedays? That's where I always park for the Reliant Dog Shows, even on the weekdays when the offices in that area are busy.

Kellye,

To make it simple: figure two burgers and one hot dog for everyone.

Drinks: I say Bud Light, coke, and some water. On the beer, I would say we need about 16 cases.


Now, all we need is a grill and a mp3 player. I don't have the Saints music on an Ipod. I have it on a thumb drive and a mp3 player.

SaintMike does your system play mp3s? I can bring my wireless converter for a standard stereo but it may not work as I have found it is not reliable.

Any of the normal type of beer is fine with me. If you have to get a lot of different types than that will have problems of it's own I am sure. So whatever beer you get is cool.

Thanks Jay; that helps. I will bring my grill; just have to figure out where to store it Saturday night, unless it can live in skymike's truck, LOL. I'll be headed to meet SaintMike sometime on Saturday to stash stuff in the bus. I'll get the grill there somehow, don't worry. I just don't honestly know how much propane I have in the tank, LOL...we don't use it much at all, so it shouldn't be even close to empty. I assume we need some grilling tools as well, or is there access to that kind of stuff in the bus?

Now to get my voice back...I've been sick all week. Definitely ranks high on the unfun list.

And does anyone have access to the Saints' travel plans? We know where they're staying, but don't know when they're arriving. Casey, you're coming with us if we make it down there in time!

We'll be there

Hello all,

My wife & I will be there. Our sitter can't make it over to our house till almost 11:00, but I look forward to at least saying "hi" to everyone.

Also, where exactly in the blue lot will you cats be? Does anyone know the location yet?

Thx!

Phil & Lara

Phil, Its gonna be 1st come, so I'm sure we'll be pretty close to the stadium on the old Astroworld (south) side.... You cant miss us with Saint Mike's Bus there. If that's Lara in the avatar, she might want to dress a bit warmer. (SLAP!) "Ow!, what?" Sorry.

TRAFFIC ALERT ------------------TRAFFIC ALERT------------------TRAFFIC ALERT-----------

------- Interstate 10 between West Loop 610 and Washington Ave. is shut down completely starting at 9pm tonight. All weekend. Thats how we have fun here in Houston. We shut down the road.


And one small world item. D.J. Jeff, a good friend of mine, who did my wedding, is the guy who does the music for Reliant. Dont even ask--- I already tried, and he wont play Second Line, or The Saints are Coming ...

For all of those that will be there Saturday. Tulane and Rice play at 2. It would be nice to give some support for the Green Wave. Me and my crew will be there.

I just changed to the Extended Stay Deluxe Reliant Park. It is 1/2 mile from Reliant Park. The room has a full size refrigerator so if you need to store the meat and chill some beer you are welcome to it. Game day you can pick it up. There should be room to store the grill if you need.

I know exactly where that is. I may take you up on stashing the grill there... You're walking to the game from your hotel, I take it? We could pick up the grill there in skymike's truck, dump it and me on the side of the road on Kirby at the blue lot entrance, and I can just wheel it in from there. Now this should be fun...

I'll get back with you.

 

[voodooman]

The offer is there if you need it. You are doing a great job putting this together. We can store whatever you need to there. I am going to PM you my cell now just incase you need it.

I AM READY FOR SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kellye, if you're the person picking up the beer, just wanted to let you know that I picked up one case of Bud Light and one case of Miller Lite. Will have them iced down in styrofoam ice chests.

I'll mark that much off of my list...thank you thank you thank you for helping out!

I can bring another propane tank if you'd like me to -- just let me know. Also, no one has given a thumbs-up on my offer to bring the twin propane burners so I will be leaving it at home unless someone tells me otherwise. I will bring two decent sized ice chests full of ice. Do you still need grilling tools?
