I did not take the above pic, but if you'll go to the link, you'll see the person who did and many more pics that she managed to take and share with the rest of the fans.

The roadtrip began as soon as I left from work at noon. I had a few errands that I needed to take care of and did then I rushed home for a quick shower and to change my clothes. Getting out of Houston was a nightmare but I managed to do it without any fatalities. (I hate Sugar Land, it's official now.) We left around 2:30 PM and headed toward Corpus Christi and got there in plenty of time to eat before the show...I ate but Sister K was too excited to eat. (and she actually expected me to stop on the way home so that she could eat...ha) Anyway, High Speed Hayride opened for Jason and put on a good show. I hung out in the back of the club and lurked in the shadows during their set but from what I could see and hear, all is going good with them and they've improved since I saw them last several months ago. Jason hit the stage a little around 10 or so and that's when we left our table and chairs and headed dutifully to the front of the stage. JASON BOLAND & THE STRAGGLERS ARE BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!!! I could not stand still!!! I danced around during the show like a drunk but I was not the one that was screaming out for Jason to play "Nymphomaniac"...he was the drunk at the show and tried to get others to chant along with him. Jason tried to be nice to the guy but finally had to tell the guy that he did not write the song. Some guy from Ohio who's name escapes me now wrote it and he was not going to sing it. Yeah, Jason!!! I know he wanted to play longer but since the place closes early (midnight), he played his song, hung around for pics and autographs and entertained the whole 100 of us there...
