State Fair of Texas!!!!
 

For all you Texan Greeks (and of course the surrounding areas)

How many are planning on going to the State Fair of Texas?

I'm super excited!!! It's going to be a great time! http://216.40.241.68/otn/realhappy/luxhello.gif

When? Where?

Fill me in!! I haven't heard. :(

BTW, Bayfest is going on in Corpus this coming up weekend. Roger Creager is playing on Sunday and I can't wait!! :)

LL Cool J is going to be here this weekend also. :eek: LOL We had MC Hammer here a few years back also. No, I didn't go see him.

The State Fair of Texas is going on from Sept. 27th - Oct. 20th at the Fair Park in Dallas

The Dixie Chicks and Pat Green are just a couple of the *many* entertainers that will be there!!!

SATX*APHI - have a super time with Roger Creager @ Bayfest!!

OMG, a woman standing next to me at the Texas State Fair one year got shot. Just right there in front of everyone--by a drunk.

:(

That is just a not cool that people who can't control themselves when they are drunk mess such a great thing like the State Fair up for everyone

Ya know, in my 20 years (21 in 3 weeks) I have never been to Dallas! I have a friend who goes to school at Austin College in Sherman, about an hour north of Dallas. I keep saying I am going to go up and visit, but I haven't made it yet. Betcha can guess I won't be going to the State Fair of Texas.

Carnation,
Not to make light of the story, but why doesn't that surprise me?!?!

Hootie :p

eh, i WOULD go, but A&M has a home football game this weekend.

Seeing as how i plan my weekend activities around Aggie Football, i'm going to have to miss it. Although taking into account our current offensive struggles, it'd probably be more fun to watch OU and t.u. slug it out.

Y'all that go, have a lot of fun. That being said, Boomer Sooner!!

Hey, it surprised me--it happened so fast! This drunk pushed her way up to the fron of a booth and the lady there said politely, "Sorry, you'll have to wait in line," and the drunk woman just pulled out a gun and shot her right on the spot.:eek:

From Oklahoma -- but going down there anyway for OU-Texas game. Going to watch OU pull a hat trick on Texas :D

yikes.. that's crazy.

on the news the other day they said they were going to be searching any and every kind of bag and they might even have those lil metal detectors like the airlines use.

i hope nothing tragic like that happens

i guess i'm the only GC'er who's planning to go :p

I remember last year at OU-TX they were pretty tight on security. It was less than a month after 9-11 so pretty understandable. I'm just hoping that Al-Queda doesn't care about football:D

lol ktsnake

yep i heard on the news they are going to be especially tight on security during the OU-TX game and the concert days of the fair

Ahh, so sad...so misguided....;)
I want to go to see Pat Green!! But I probably won't, because I have finals the first 2 weeks of October :(

i don't really understand the whole state fair thing, what is it?

:confused:
I'm really not sure.. this will be my first time attending :D I think it is basically a mixture of carnival rides, concerts, football, food, and fun !

LUV me some Bayfest. Have one of them big ass turkey legs for me, ya know, withthe tendons all hanging off and such. MMMMmmmm. Dont forget the corn in a cup.;)

YEAHHHHHHHHHh
 

Went last year while I was at UNT, if your from texas and a good ole boy or girl, for sure go!!!, it's awesome there are people from everywhere. Went and saw lifehouse last year, but I don't remember to much of it because I was a bit intoxicated. Going for sure this year, already saw Pat Green in August so I'm a bit complacent. Roger Creager is the man, loved his show when I saw him a while back. For anyone outside of Texas..go you'll have a dandy old time.

Aww, c'mon Jenn, you can't fault me, i'm an Aggie, hatred of the 'sips has been drilled into me since i was a youngun.

Plus, Maroon is closer to Crimson than to burnt orange(what a horrid color, bleeeach :( )

I saw Pat in Acuna over July 4th with a big contingent of my bros...definatlely one of the best shows i've seen. I still haven't seen Roger though, he comes to CS a lot and i need to make it to one of his shows.
