All buckled in and ready to begin Palooza XVIII.
The first beverages are always good--Deep Ellum IPA & Texas Sours.

Palooza concluded with one of the greatest regular season games in
NFL history, as the still undefeated Denver Broncos came back to
win 51-48 in a game that broke dozens of records. Another chapter
in the books and quite a solid one at that. Until next year, boys.

I think we made our archery guide a bit nervous.
Sir, please, please don't try to shoot live animals.
We finally arrived at Rudy's for some delicious smoked meats.
Smokes sausage, baby backs, brisket, pork tenderloin, all so good.
All this woman learned was to avoid Paloozians.
AT&T Stadium is essentially an alien spaceship for football.
