Back in February, Jackson gave me strict instructions that I needed to pick a date and start planning Maggie's party, so that I could use my maternity to work on all the details. We pulled out the calendar and decided on the afternoon of May 18th. Well....a few weeks later we found out that Dwight Yoakum was playing at the CCA concert at the Sam HOuston Race Track that same afternoon. Of course Jackson immediately decided that we had to change Maggie's party becasue there was NO way he was missing this concert. Over the last few years, we have looked up tickets to see him play and they were $$$ so we never went....but this time they were only $17 plus we would also get to hear Robert Earl Keen, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and I can't remember the other guys, but he was good. Anywho....we decided to have Maggie's party that morning and then headed to the concert afterwards. Us, Leslie & Hank, Chad & Robin, and Peggie & Truman got there around 4:30....and the fun began!!
We sat on the lawn and listened to the show. All the performers did a great job. Of course DY was the last to perform....so we moved up as close as we could get. The clear picture of him below was taken by a guy standing next to us, and he kindly sent it to me since the iphone wasn't as good as his Samsung.
After the show, we took a cab to Denny's were we had a midnight snack.....and the manager there ended up driving us back to our hotel- long HILARIOUS story! The next morning we headed back to EC.
