Show was awesome!  John pulled Matthew McConaughey up on stage to sing R.O.C.K. in the USA.  He sang lots of the geat vintage Mellencamp hits-Small Town, Cherry Bomb, Paper in Fire, Jack and Diane, Crumblin Down, Authority Song...we loved the entire performance.  Definitely one of the best!

 ;DThanks!  We have floor seats

My BFF (fellow Mellenhead) and I have tix and we can hardly wait!   We try to see John every year...sometimes traveling crazy distances to get to a concert together.  This one is at least in our home state ...

Do you know anything about the event?   Are we going to need to buy some fancy duds or will jeans and our pink houses t shirts suffice?   The term "gala opening " has us perplexed.  Regardless of attire, we will be rocking out!

The shows I have been to in Houston were all well attended and lots of crazy fans...but they seem to be closet fans.  Can't explain it.  My BFF and I are major Mellenheads and have been since high school! 

We saw NBTT in Pittsburgh last November.  Completely random choice of city-we were spending that weekend together and when the tour was announced, we decided to go to whatever city he was playing in!  What a blast!  We splurged and did the premium packages.  OMG-3 rows back in the center of the stage.  He was singing right to us.  I was extremely pleased that he played an amazing version of "Deep Blue Heart" and it made the trip totally worth it.

The underground parking has an event charge (but not exorbitant).  The trick is that all of the downtown streets are one way.  Here is a link to the parking http://www.houstontx.gov/tdparking/index.htm

The one thing I really like is that the lot is well lit and there are people there to help you, if needed.  One time, my hubby locked us out of his truck  .  Another time, I came out from a concert and had a dead battery.  Yes, tons of people will be trying to leave at the same time, but this lot shows unexpected efficiency and the lines move.

Don't  know about you, but I have started a countdown!!

 
Only one week left to the show!  Woo Hoo!  This will be our second time to see the NBTT tour and we had such a good time at the last concert.

Glad to hear that you worked out your hotel problems-I was looking for a room also and ended up staying way out on the Katy Fwy, but it's all good!  In case you haven't been to Jones Hall in awhile, don't forget about the underground parking in the Arts District.  Maybe a necessity with all the extra traffic due to Final Four.

Look forward to seeing everyone there-we'll be the crazy chicks in row F, can't miss us 

Yes!!  I can hardly wait!
