Drop that Tailgate

No, Bud doesn't have another one for you.  The City is looking at allowing tailgating at the the Dynamo, Rockets and Astros.

That would be nice, since the BUS is closed.  Of course how long till Bob McNair hears about it and starts charging $10 to anyone who wants to enter downtown.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

Less than ten minutes.

If you're refering to the tailgating charge for non-ticket holders at Texans ganmes, that was the best move McNair ever made for the fans.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

It's what they are calling EaDo (East Downtown).  If you know where Lucky's Pub on St. Emmanuel is located... the new stadium is next to their back parking lot.

Or roughly 3 blocks east of MMPUS.

I drove by the other day on my way to Cafe TH.  The stadium looks awesome, it's dripping with obnoxious orange.

The computer renderings on their website made it look pretty nice.  Of course, they also made me want to jack a car and beat up a hooker for her cash.
