    I have the following questions...

    Where exactly do they practice in Austin?

    Is the clutch crew going to be there again?

    Is it possible for Rockets fans in Austin to see players on a particular day...maybe a public practice session?

    Is it easy to get autographs if fans wait outside?

    I don't know exactly where they will be, but, I have free comedy club tickets to the club in Austin, if the clutch crew wants a free night out! I'll be performing and I'm sure that a few of the Rox will attend sometime this week.

    If you want to meet the Rockets, I suggest you try Sugar's, Yellow Rose, or Show Palace. :D

    After looking for a place the Rockets have chosen one...they will be training at a private High School gym, which is just off of highway 71 about thirty minutes from the UT campus.

    I forgot the name of the school, but it is no ordinary school...it is almost as large as the UT campus, and their gym is better than anything I have ever seen.

    This is not your average high school, to go to this school your parents have to shell out over $20,000 a year.

    (I'll post the name of the school as soon as I remember it)

    The name of the school is St. Stephens. They usually stay at the Omni South Park, at least they did a couple of years ago. A good way to meet them is to go to the Omni, and sit at the bar in the Lobby. Many of them come down there to get a drink before they go out.

    By the way, they did not have a public practice as of last year and I am sure they will not have one this year.

    That is exactly right...it is St. Stephens at Westlake. I visited it last week and checked it out. It will be closed to the public, but a friend of mine goes to that school and he said only a select group of students from that school will be allowed to watch (he is one of them)...I hope I can get you guys some behind the scenes updates or pictures through him.
