Billy Bob's - The Worlds Biggest Honky Tonk (well, at least thats what the website claims)

This past Saturday we headed to a Country Bar for a special concert, drum roll......Dwight Yoakam!! I didn't know who he was either!
Looking the part!

Our Cavenders purchases, which took more than an hour to choose!

The tightest jeans in the bar.....on the old timer!

The bar.

The line-up. Dad you better come visit Texas for B.B.King! Then Mom can buy all the cowboy apparel she wants me to squeeze in a suitcase for her ; )

Dwight in action. Check out the rhinestones on the guy on the left and the guitarist on the right....getting passionate!

The only guy (doing the universal Captains pose in photo 1 and some leprechaun jig in photo 2) in the entire bar who insisted on tucking in his baggy jeans into his boots....you can see why though - probably the only male wearing pink cowboy boots in Texas!
Definitely would be my choice for my second pair of cowboys boots!
When I first saw this I was transfixed......it's an original western saddle they turned into a disco ball.
It is too fabulous. Apparently it was put up when the bar was first opened in the 80's!
"Three sisters", according to some stranger! Katy - our official tour guide for the evening and general giver of useful information ("don't believe anything Evan tells you"). Thanks Katy!
All the big country stars that have played at Billy's over the last 30 years
Love the South!

Long car ride home (Thanks Jennifer!!)
Downtown Dallas.

You can't go out in Dallas without brunch the next day: Another broken egg cafe......so yum!
