HouDats, One thing we have is tons of space.

Its like a tailgate party, without the Parking Lot Nazis, for those of you who remember our last Tailgate at Reliant/NRG/Whatever they call that gargantuan ugly thing that replaced the beautiful, historic, wonderful Astrodome.

Im not going to do much in the way of manicuring. God already made my family home beautiful, and the sky is always amazing, regardless the weather. I'll have the grass low, in a large area, should we need room for 20 tents. If you must have a more suburban spot to mingle, We also have an enormous car port area. Parking will also be zero issue. We used to host minor Rodeos. It will likely be on grass, but dry & somewhat parklike. It wont be like Tinsley Park, but it wont be a jungle either.

Yes, that is a Rodeo Pen in the background. Too bad the lights dont work, currently. I always wanted to mark it like a football field. It has had much football played in it anyway.

I'm expecting a contract from the Potty Trailer People today. (I cant wait to see your comments on this one.)

We actually have more than one water connection at the end of the rodeo arena. I can string up plenty of cords, for whatever power we need.

I'll set up a pay site this week.

Also, since we're in the boonies, no one will complain about noise.

Partying in the boonies, is much like camping.
- you might need bug spray.
- you might need sunscreen.
- If you wander off deeply in the woods, there are wild hogs, and
of course, snakes, for those of you who are herpophobic. Basically,
its like partying in rural Louisiana. I am disappointed to report,
we've never seen a gator in the tank. (pond) Everything else
lives there. We have a flat-bed trailer, if anyone has aspirations
creating a float, to cruise around the pasture, and maybe down
the road.

Budsdrinker will be our head cooker. Kajun Kookin' has a paying gig that day (I could have, but NOOOO.) I'd kill to have Hou-Yat and his lovely
wife come and join us. He cooks a mean pot of bugs, also. One year,
Mrs. Hou-Yat complained loudly that he made the pot TOO mean. We
all loved them, ate them right up, and then found ways to reduce the
burning & swelling in our fingers, lips, and of course the next day, Im
sure some of us had a whole new set of problems. Cue: "Burnin' Love"

Ok, serious stuff I need:

1. water hoses & water hoses that connect to other water hoses.
2. power cords
3. coolers, of course.
4. TENTS! Not only do we have room for them, this year, we actually
need them. Again, its going to be like a tailgate party. I am looking to
buy a new Saints tent, myself. I want a ton of tents and flags !

What else do we need, guys?
