From  Erik:
I have been to (and through) this state many times over the years. My most recent trip was to Beaumont, Texas where we shot a series of videos. If you have never been to Texas, I can tell you from first-hand experience, it is unlike any other state in the union for too many reasons to list here. It's big, it's fun and the locals are as friendly as ever. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed visiting Beaumont. Our video shoot was in the summer and yes, they do have a little humidity. But Beaumont is fantastic place to experience Americana at its finest.  Book your trip to Texas and drop me a line when you get home!
