Graduation Ceremony Information
In case you are interested... I'm graduating tomorrow. Here's all the information of how to get there. Be sure to scream when they call my name, and let me know you saw it on the website!
Here is a consolidated explaination of the information sent to me:
----------------
The graduation ceremony is Tuesday May 9th starting 7:00pm at Reliant Stadium (next to the Astrodome). The doors to Reliant Stadium will open at 5:00pm for candidates and guests.
Parking:
From Kirby Drive, turn west on Westridge, then turn onto Lantern Point. Enter at Gate 13 and park in Green Lots 28 and 29 (view the attached images of Reliant Park for the lot locations). The cost for parking will be $8 per vehicle. Walk across the bridge to Reliant Stadium. The Gallery Furniture Gate will be the entrance.
Mark's further explaination: You can get to Kirby Drive by going I-10 to 610 South, continue on 610 to 610 West (heading towards Astroworld). The Kirby exit should be on your right as you get closer to Astroworld.
Ceremony:
All candidates will be led from the stadium floor at 6:30 in preparation for the processional. Processional will be formed in two lines in the tunnels behind the stadium floor, led by the Student Marshals. The official ceremony begins at 7:00pm sharp!!!
After the Ceremony:
All candidates can meet their family and guests in the Budweiser Plaza after the recessional.

I've attached two images which were sent to me. One is the Reliant Park map. The two lots they talk about for parking is known as the Westridge Lot on the map. I think you might get better parking with less of a walk, but you'll have to take your chances for that. Crossing the bridge to Reliant Stadium shouldn't be too bad if you park close to the bridge.
The other image I've attached is the Candidate Seating. I will be in the BUS section (business). Since I'm a W, I'll be towards the back. It looks like section 129-127 would be the best locations. It looks like the closest entrance gate at the stadium is the Gallery Furniture Gate.
Bonnie & I will leave around 4:00pm to try and beat any traffic. I have to be there at 5:00pm. You can get there anywhere from 5:00 to 6:30 and not miss anything. Bonnie will be sitting in the stands while I'm getting ready.
The ceremony may take several hours. We may not get out of there until 10pm. Afterwards, we're going to Applebee's just north of I-10E on Beltway 8 (if there is time, they close at 11:00pm). It's at Beltway 8 & Wallisville (I think). Close to the place Dad dropped off the junk a month ago. Our treat! If we can't make Applebees, then it's Taco Bell... still on us!
I'll be home all day tomorrow (until 4:00pm), Bonnie will be home after 1:00pm. If you have any questions, call me or Bonnie. I'll have to turn off my phone at the stadium, but Bonnie will still have her phone.
