Gathering Place:
We will meet near the picnic tables by the concession stand, on the side closer to the stage door. At 7:00pm we’ll go to the hill and set up. If you can't make it at 7, we'll hold some space. Look for our location in the comments. The concert starts at 8:00.

Call Tom if you need any help before the show starts. 832-439-5797.

Seating for the Show:
The hill is divided with the left side for chairs and the right reserved for blankets. We sit on the chair side. Blankets may have an obstructed view. We try to get space close to the center and front.

Drinks and snacks:
Adult beverages are allowed. The city prohibits glass containers in the park. (We don't check and the city never has objected to discreet wine bottles.) It's always more fun when people bring something to share.

Parking:
There are two main parking areas for Miller.

The Zoo lot has more spaces
Parking Lot F
