OTHER FUN EVENTS
THE LONESTAR ROUND UP: April 17-18
A huge outdoor car show and live music festival with tons of vintage hot rods and custom cars driven here from all over the country, and bringing visitors from all over the world. The event is officially located at the Travis County Expo Center, but we always like to cruise the strip on S Congress instead. This year one of our buddies took us out in his 67 Chevy Truck, and we had a ball.
