Long before I associated spring with SXSW, it was the rodeo. First in small East Texas and Louisiana towns, then through a completely unalike range of experiences at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo — which I believe was called a “fat” stock show back then.

We got Texas Independence Day (March 2) off from school in order to watch the pre-rodeo parade every year. Easy amusements in those days.

I’m looking forward to my Rodeo Austin visits this year, now that I have learned to navigate the traffic and parking at the Travis County Exposition Center. Go Texan!
