Trae Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 The Metro coming home from downtown tonight was INSANE! It felt like I was in Tokyo or something.Photos coming soon...Get the photos! And imagine what it would have been like if all of the Inner City lines were complete. Quote
Jax Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 This is what the Metro looked like last night. Too bad I didn't have a wide angle lens! Quote
ricco67 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Yeah, I wish I can take pics like that. I stole your hilton version of it and using as my background, btw. I kinda' wished your had a panoramic lens as well. Quote
Jax Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 It was actually a very mixed crowd, although a group of students happened to be in front of me. Quote
ricco67 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 It was actually a very mixed crowd, although a group of students happened to be in front of me. there seemed to be an extraordinarily large number of students there. Took a few pictures. All of them VERY unPC. Think Trae's former pic. Quote
KimberlySayWhat Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Are you going to do the Hillary rally tonight? Quote
musicman Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 looks like a lot of rice students?bingo with their free passes. Quote
Jax Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) There were a few Rice students but certainly not the majority. I talked to a bunch of students from UH, and a doctor I know on the train. The train was still packed when it left Memorial Hermann station (the last stop for Rice students), and I am guessing it was above capacity. There were old people, young people, doctors, students, it was a big mix.Unfortunately not all Rice students get free passes, only the undergrads (2500 students approximately).

CDeb Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Unfortunately not all Rice students get free passes, only the undergrads (2500 students approximately).That blows. Why the difference? Quote
WesternGulf Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Anyone have photos of the rally? My mom e-mailed me some photos. She did not have her camera on her and she relied on a disposable, so they came out terrible.edit: nevermind, I found plenty on flickr. Edited February 20, 2008 by WesternGulf Quote
jayshoota Posted February 21, 2008 Author Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) Anybody have any pics from Bill at UH tonight? Would love to see them! I went to Cyclone Anaya's in Midtown where Chelsea was doing her thing. It was a lot of fun! Edited February 21, 2008 by jayshoota Quote
citykid09 Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 I was in Houston that day and drove downtown just to see if I would be able to be one of the walkins without a ticket. I got downtown at about 6:20 or 6:30 after sitting in traffic in the Galleria area. This was the first time I had been downtown in a few years I think. I exited on Louisiana and just figured I would find the Toyota Center some how. I rode around, turned down a lot of street and finally found the Toyota Center. At first I didn't recognize it because it was kind of getting dark and the roof seemed to blend in with the sky. All I saw was red letters on the roof and as I got closer I noticed it was the Toyota Center. It was very very crowded, people were everywhere. At that point I realized that I would not be able to get in because 1, the lines and 2, no where to park without having to pay. I have to admit though downtown Houston is looking NICE! I got to see the tower going up in front of the new park, and I think HP construction. There was a big wall on the opposite side the street of Ernst & Young advertising the Discovery green area development. But for some reason I didn't get to see the park. I also noticed lots of signs up advertising new development in Midtown. Now I understanding why people on here like downtown better than Uptown, it was really happening that night! Quote
Jax Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) Some photos I took inside the Toyota Center. Edited February 22, 2008 by Jax Quote
Trae Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 My mom went with some friends. Didn't get any pictures though. I bet the METRORail would be a lot more crowded if the other lines were built. A lot easier for students at UH, TSU, St. Thomas, etc., to get there. Quote
