    How many of you are planning on attending Rome's tour stop at Enron, Sat Sept 16th? It's free so I'm thinking, why not?

    Just out of curiosity -- since this is the first I've heard of it -- is there a place you can go to get more info? What does he do on the tour -- just a live show, or what?

    Stay Cool...

    To get tickets (a max of 4) Send a self addressed stamp envelope to:

    Jim Rome Tour Stop
    Star 610 Sports
    24 Greenway Plaza Suite 1900
    Houston, TX 77046

    Rome during his tour stops does a stand up routine of basically his best material. He mixes in some local stuff, stuff that can't be said on the air, and has some guests with him. Since this is being held at Enron, I guess he'll be @ home plate with Drayton and the rest of the Astros- Jungle Dwellers.

    Even though Im no fan of the Astros, I just might throw a few tomatoes at Drayton also. His salary dumping is sure going to cost Rockets some votes.

    The show is pretty much run off of high testosterone. You can expect a lot of Jungle smak taken up another notch or two. Hopefully he'll be able to get in a couple of good guests other than Astros. I'd like to see Steve Elkington and Jay Mohr to name a couple.

    Not quite true...the last two times the tour stop has been broadcast locally only on 610 and is scheduled to be aired live again this year. Pretty funny stuff.

    What's so funny and ironic about this Tour Stop is the whole setup for it.

    Rome is aired on KILT. Rome is tight with KILT, Drayton, and the Astros. KTRH is the Astros Flagship. KILT & Rome convince Drayton to hold Tour Stop @ Enron.

    The Astros will be sponsoring an event for another Radio Station @ their own ballpark.

    This is so funny. Obviously KTRH can't be happy. Especially, since KILT just stole John McClain, and is now going head-to-head to Sportsbeat/ Astros Play-by-Play.

    Of course since, Drayton is hosting the Tour Stop he's going to get all of the concession revenues. And with possibly 30,000 (24,000 were @ the Cleveland one) drunk Clones at Enron with beer at $5.50 a pop Drayton will make a motherload.

    The irony of it all,
    Rob

    Did anyone see the highlights of the tour stop in Cleveland that has been showing on FSSW?

    That has to be the WORST thing I have ever seen, EVER. It is like a concert without the music. If you don't get that analogy, here is what I mean.

    You go to a rock concert and in between the songs the Band members will go into to little stories and praise whatever city they are in attempt to pander the crowd and get them pumped up. You know like:

    ROME: "H-Town is my Faovrite City!!!"
    Crowd: " YEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"

    Rome: "The Clones in C-Town are great, but NOBODY compares to the H-TOWN CLONES!!!"
    Crowd: " YEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"

    Rome:"What does H-Town think of Bud Adams???"
    Crowd: " BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
    Rome:"Yeah, Bud can kiss my @SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!"
    Crowd: "YEAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

    Rome: "I'm guessing that H-town likes to PARTY!!!"
    Crowd: " YEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"

    Rome: "You know the C-Town WAS the mother of all tour stops, but H-town is really close, let me hear who YOU think wins!"
    Crowd: " YEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"

    etc....etc....etc....

    That is ALL the tour stop consists of, it is HORRIBLE!

    It will be about as entertaining as watching black and white reruns of Petticoat Junction, in Spanish. The only thing that would make the "tour stop" even remotely worth attending would be to go to laugh at the FREAKS who showed up there.

    If you haven't watched the FSSW special, let me tell you the crowd at a tour stop is like a NASCAR event, Star Trek Convention and a Klan Rally all rolled into one! A group of more intellectually challenged, jobless, tools would be hard to come by.

    I can only imagine these dimwits walking around Enron field, trading SMAK with each other, LOL! Even funnier, Imagine Joe Clone ordering something from the concession stands, "I would like a big @ssssssss Beer, peanuts and a snickers….OUT!" It is hard to believe that these people don't realize how freaking STUPID they look and sound. They are almost as brainwashed as aggies.

    Trust me, the "Jungle Tour Stop" ain't worth the price of admission.

    Damn Ty-Webb I officially crown u as one of the FUNniest newbies on this board. I cant stand that dork Rome either. I listen to him sometimes to see whats happening in the sports world. But 25 percent of his show is about Orenthol. 25 percent is silence as he tries to come up with some lame jokes. 25 percent is actually stuff u can listen to. Too bad the last 25 percent is him just repeating what he just stated a minute earlier. I cant believe there are actually thousands of these dumb ass clowns, urrrr, aaahhhh I mean "clones" in every city.
