It was too crowded last year, at least on Saturday. Are they trying to compress it all into too small an area now?
I agree too crowded last year they should open up more streets, instead of just The Strand.

Still had a good time, and will be going back, at least for Saturday.

I will be there all weekend. This has become a huge rally and is lots of fun. Hangin' on The Strand or cruisin the beach - its all good. People watching is some of the best I have seen. It is definitely getting HUGE.

Anybody hear is Moody Gardens is going to do a concert this year? Can't believe they don't take advantage of the captive audience.

We should be rolling in around 11pm thursday night. Last year we saw lots of rvs and campers parked along the seawall, so I think we are gonna give this a try. Anyone have any input on this?

The wife and I will roll in on Friday Morning. I'm in Corpus Christi so it is a nice early morning ride down 35.

We have a condo on 25th street and the Strand. We are going down Thursday and staying until we've had enough.

I did find out btw (and now updated on lsr web site) there will be concerts Friday and Saturday night at Pier 21 (guess they will be setting up a venue of some type).

I was suprised to see they are charging minimum $30 for general admission tickets - line up is Marshall Tucker / Fuel and Buchcherry / Fabulous Thunderbirds. Again, the $30 per show seems kinda pricey to me for these bands - wonder what turn out wil be like.

Sounds like a nice event. I had not heard of it. I have given up on Myrtle Beach and Daytona.

But alas, all the jabs, spears and abuse I would have to endure from the anti trailer crowd when I leave the snowy north western Illinois area in my truck and trailer to get a few days of glorious riding and enjoying a motorcycle event.

I'll be heading down solo on Friday and with the ol lady on Saturday. Been going since the first year and watching it grow. Great times!
