We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town

Forgot to mention this...
In Fort Worth, TX (just a few miles from Dallas, but, with Dallas traffic, it takes an hour to get to) is a place known world-wide as Billy Bob's .

It claims to be the worlds largest Honky Tonk. They have live music every night. The day we went in to look around, Dwight Yokam was to play that night at 8pm. Willin Nelson comes and plays every 4th of July, and apparantly has for decades.

This place was huge! It had an arcade, it had like 4 giant line-dance floors, TWO stages for bands, and (get this) an indoor bull riding ring. Not mechanical bulls, REAL bulls... it was amazing.

I won't say much for Dallas, or that area. There isn't much to do, and if there was, you'd spent half the day driving to it. BUT, if you are ever in teh Dallas/Ft. Worth area, Billy Bobs is worth hanging out at on a weekend night from say 7pm till 1am... Next time we go, we are going to make actual plans to go there.

Sounds pretty cool! Like D&B's on a huge scale. I'm not a fan of TX in any way. But that sounds cool. I'm achin' to go back to New Orelans myself. That probably won't happen for a couple more years though. Especially since Rachel either is or soon will be with child.

Um, 'scuse me? Mrs. Sipper might have a little baby in her uterus???? I know you guys said you were going to try at Disney...
I've been line dancing at a honkey tonk clud here in town. It's pretty fun. That's the extent of my college crazies.
