In Loving Memory

Midnight Rodeo Founder John F. McCormick Jr. passed away on January 2nd, 2025 at his home at the age of 84. He opened the first of many Midnight Rodeo concepts in 1982 in San Antonio.

Over the years, John was involved in a slew of concepts including Hondo’s, Wild West, Dallas Nightclub, Piranha Room, Premier, Café De Ville, Stampede, Sunova Beach and Sharkey’s just to name a few. At the height of his career, John had as many as 25 operating nightclubs throughout Texas, New Mexico, California, Alabama, and St Croix, USVI.

John, opened his first concept in Houston in the 1970’s called Hondo’s to great success where George Strait’s Ace in the Hole band performed before becoming world famous.

John employed thousands of people over his long career and was considered an innovator for his concept’s concentration on Happy Hours, silly games and entertainment for his guests. He also is considered one of the founders of the country-western disco, as he would call them. Instead of featuring live bands, he had a complex system of music presented by a DJ/music programmer. He fashioned his operational ideology from his early experience as a CPA, law student and auditor for both governmental and private enterprises in the food and beverage industry. John attended Memphis State and the University of Texas after serving in the Navy as an aircraft technician. John was considered a titan of the industry and will be missed.

A celebration of life will be held in his honor in late March followed by another in St Croix where he still has family and friends. Please follow for details.

ONE WEEK AWAY!! The Final Midnight Rodeo Parking Lot Party is Next Sunday, October 8th Noon - 4:00pm A Free Event. No Cover at the door...because there is no door. Just the concrete that was under our feet. It's the last Tribute to say goodbye to the hallowed hall. We'll do The Parkin' Lot 2-Step and The Asphalt Waltz. Wobble a few Line Dances and then Cha Cha Slide on outta there. It's Halloween ya know, so come dance on the grave of The Midnight Rodeo. Again there are no trash cans and no facilities. Bring your own, please take it with you. Slackers and The Hanger will be open. Can't wait to see you all together again. Tell some tales and remember the times. And durning my farewell speech, as I thank you all, rest assured Johnny R. your questions will be answered. See you next Sunday. Your DJ, Pistol Pete

Sunday, October 8th Noon - 4:00pm Is the Final Midnight Rodeo Parking Lot Party Tribute!! The ashes have all been swept away. The memories will stand forever. And the bonds will never be broken. Hoping to see you all one last time at the foundation for The Midnight Rodeo Nation will salute one last time. It's a Free and open parking lot. Music to dance to and stories to tell. No trash cans no facilities. Just have to see everyone together one more time. See you soon.

One week from this Sunday, on October 8th, it's the Final Midnight Rodeo Parking Lot Party Tribute!! Noon-4:00pm. One last chance to reunite, and reignite, in the cool daylight, at the site, of the place that burned so bright, every night, when we danced at Midnight...Rodeo that is. (yes, pun intended) And one more rhyme I have of mine, to remember the time, when a pick up line, over a glass of wine, was socially fine, and not considered a crime. So come one and come all, to say thanks to y'all, for making Midnight Rodeo, your favorite Dance Hall!! For the record, this is free and open parking lot of the Midnight Rodeo. There are no trash cans, no facilities, and hopefully no rain. I will host the event, provide the music for dancing, make some introductions, and maybe, just maybe, give some of these material things you see, a new home...Random Drawings? Famously Familiar Fun & Games perhaps. I always keep my Frisbees, Ping Pong Balls, and Hula-Hoops handy. Slackers and The Hangar will be open. The Dallas Cowboy's vs 49ers game is at 7:20pm. We'll be done and home in plenty of time. You may bring whatever food or drink you wish, just don't leave anything behind. Last November when fire destroyed our landmark, we were honored that so many of you came to that Tribute Vigil on such short notice. Then, as many who could not attend asked to do one more. I promised you I would, and this is it. I do hope to see everyone there. As before, I'm doing this (as my wife Sarah pointed out) all by myself, on Sunday, October 8th, the same day that just happens to fall on our Wedding Anniversary. I do love her so, and she will be there with me. A few extra helpers could be a good thing. Spread the word. Because We Will Do It Again!! Your Midnight Rodeo DJ for 35 years, Pistol Pete.

It's Official!! Midnight Rodeo Parking Lot Party!! Sunday October 8th Noon - 4pm. One last time, I'll be playing all your favorite songs in front of what remains of the building where so many of us first met and became not just friends or coworkers, but family. As before, it is and open parking lot. No Trash Can or Facilities. You may bring food, drinks etc. Just don't leave anything behind. Slackers and The Hanger will be open. This will be the last tribute to our historic dancehall, so come on by, say hello and tell some of the stories, share so many memories, and have a few more laughs. Yes, We Will Do It Again, 4 weeks from today, Sunday, October 8th Noon - 4pm. Any ideas you might have to add to the fun please let me know, including any volunteers to help with this event. I continue to give updates every few days, cause I got a few ideas myself. Thank you all and see you soon. Your DJ, Pistol Pete.
