This week's RodeoHouston lineup announcement officially kicked off 2013 for Houston's party people and rodeo fans. The lineup is dependable as always, with your standard country acts, classic-rockers, kiddie-pop acts, R&B, and norteño offerings making up the month of music.
Sadly, once again this wasn't Slayer or Skrillex's year. There is always 2014. Or 2034. Also, I wanna know why Reba isn't coming out this year.

In anticipation of the upcoming RodeoHouston season, I asked fans of each performer what they will wearing, drinking, and doing after each rodeo performance. Trust me, these imaginary people know how to party. Taco Cabana brawls, puking in the shower, stalking exes... it's gonna be a fun March for the Houston food-service and law-enforcement industries.
