I&#8217;ve got a few photos that I still need post. I&#8217;ll link them tonight. I got there about an hour and a half after it started and didn&#8217;t stay long because my son got antsy. A lot of the details can be gotten from the Statesman article, but from what I could see, Chris Gates was the only Big Boys member in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>The official memorial service for Biscuit will be held in his hometown of Gladewater, TX. this Saturday. The word is that an Austin celebration of Randy&#8217;s life is being organized for sometime in September.
