Can you smell the BBQ yet?!!!! This week is the World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest (a.k.a. Cook-Off) in Houston. I’m excited! If you’re headed out there or if you’ve ever been then you know parking is difficult and expensive. You also know it’s a party. So why not be the Hero of the group? Make arrangements ahead of time. Here’s some info:
Towne Car has been a sponsor in the past and I took this photo (above) of the koozie they gave each volunteer. One option is to call them at 713-236-8877 or click HERE
Another option, did you know there is a Hail a Cab app? Tell it to your neighbor! I downloaded it, here’s what it would look like if I arranged now for a cab to pick me up on Friday and take me to the Galleria.
I requested a 6 Passenger Van but Towne Car, MiniVan, Sedan and Wheelchair Accessible are also options. The
estimated fare is $20, the same price it would cost to park in the
Astroworld lot. Be a Hero, click HERE for the app. Or just call Yellow Cab at 713-236-1111.
I’m a volunteer for the BBQ committee so I’m heading to work there first thing in the morning, can’t wait! I’m planning on posting a few snapshots each day for the rest of the week. Here are a few of my favorites from years past, enjoy!

Last but definitely not least, I bombarded Anthony Yanez, our weather man, on KPRC by sending him pics ( hotshots@click2houston.com ) from the bbq last year. Finally, this one made it on the news! Yes, I am this dorky and I’m pretty sure I’m going to try again this year, get ready @ayanezkprc!
Be a Hero, make arrangements today for the BBQ and stay tuned for more “this is why I love BBQ” pics!
Love these pics, love the rodeo 🙂 Thanks for the tip on the cab — we will be using that for sure this year! I wish everyone would cab it there, would be so much safer for all
Cabs are going to be crazy tonight – do you think the Towne Car service is more reliable on timing?
Towne Car service was NOT reliable – made a reservation and they never showed up! When we called they said they couldn't guarantee anyone would ever pick us up! Sad…we thought we had found a gem!
Maybe the best way to Be A Hero is to get a limo for the night and have them pick you up and drop you off. I'm sorry Towne car didn't work out! I even stopped and talked to a police officer about it this evening and he said that was the best way, sorry!
