Lone Star Rally in Galvaston, TX who's going ..?
I live 1/2 way between Houston and Galveston, so it is easy access. I'll ride down on Thursday night, Friday night, and then hang out for a while on Saturday. Usually off the Island before too late in the evening.
Unfortunately, not much in the way of "main attractions" for the music stages this year.

We live in Baytown, we have friends coming from Louisiana, we will be there. Great Rally easy in and out, nice places to eat, plenty of things to do and see.

Parking charges apply both on the Seawall and around the Strand all weekend long. In the City Counsel's infinite wisdom, they decided to extract confiscatory fees from anyone who parks in prominant and popular spots -- or pay the $10 for lot parking all weekend long. Towing will be enforced this first year of the electronic metered parking, so beware.
Just warning you before you get surprised by ticket -- or worse, a vacant spot where you left your bike.
Once this weather moves out, it should be great Friday through Sunday! See you down there for sure.

I was headed east this morning on I-10 coming back home from Lake Charles and I crossed a ton of bikes headed west. Normally, I would be jealous, but today I felt bad for them as they were all headed straight into all this rain, and the wind was blowing like hell across the interstate. Saw a lot more riders with only a few bikes on trailers, which was a good sight. Hope everyone has a fun, safe weekend. After today, the weather looks great. Wish I could be there.

Man, I was one of those guys heading West. we got rain from just before Lake Charles ALL the freak'n way to the Galveston ferry. That rain was brutal....I DO NOT like hydroplaining on two wheels! That was the first time that I saw bikes on trailers and thought...."that might not be a bad idea". lol It's all part of it though.
Rally was a blast and the local news estimated anywhere from 315k to 515k people on the island for the rally.
