There's a bunch of us here in Texas. There's always talks and rumors about people meeting up and on a mostly local level this has happened. We have not, however, had a proper Texas meetup other than that one time Khoo came to Austin.

There's a lot to do in this state that a group of us could have a pretty great time doing.


We'll start off with the city I know, and I can add more cities as people if people give me information.




San Antonio has several options for a large or small group of people to hang out at and have fun. For the most part, @vermiculture, @Tam, @VorpoSTEIN and myself have either grabbed a bite to eat at one of the many local restaurants or just hung out somewhere.

There's also Sea World, Fiesta Texas, Schlitterbahn for amusement parks to go with the Alamo, and the Riverwalk for tourist traps. We also have a few Alamo Drafthouses which can be great fun.

Hell, we could all just meet up in New Braunfels just north of San Antonio and float down the river on tubes for a good lazy 3 or so hours.

Basically, there's a lot of us in Texas and there's a lot to do, so what would we all want to do for a weekend or so?

VoproSTEIN

Your welcome.

Gabe and Tycho came to the Gameworks in Grapevine one time. I sat one seat away from Tycho while we enjoyed free pizza and beer for someone's birthday party that invited us up. Gabe spent the entire time arguing with someone off on the other side of the room. There was even a special message just for us on the main page for a few hours, I'm guessing Tycho posted it as a test from his hotel or something.

Texas is rad (as a straight white tourist) and next time I'm over there I will deffo hang out with all y'all

rhylith

I'll be in Austin the weekend of RTX (I know it's not as cool as pax by a long shot but still an excuse to go to Austin) and I can hopefully do things other weekends coming up too.

Mysst

you lookin at a specific time for this?

rhylith

Anyways I haven't been to SA and that could be fun.

I like roller coasters and food and sometimes alcohol.

rhylith

I live in Houston.

We have traffic and oil and great food and mediocre sports teams.

Let's all go to Austin or SA there's more fun stuff there.

Mysst

look guys the only thing to do in Austin is drink and hit on women and eat cart food

festivals suck

pooka

i swear to god, if you guys do this the one time i've been outside the States in 7 years, i'm gonna be huffy.
i'll be back probably mid-July.
also @oghulk

Mysst

we should totally get shitfaced and play some laser tag, though

pooka

Gourdoooooooughs

if you get in line at Gourdoughs dying from alchohol poisoning you will have 3 AA chips by the time you get your donut. it'll have blueberries and bacon if you want, though, so, it's a wash

Don't they have that new gordoughs that's both a bar AND donut-based food?

Mysst

not yet!

Yukira

I'll update the OP when I get home accordingly.

So what, Fiesta Texas some time after Pooka gets back?

Tam

yeah let's try for that

Syphyre

This is probably the perfect excuse to meet with some of you dudes I keep meaning to. So I'm up for something around the SA Area. I'll even drive to Austin on a Saturday or somethin'.

I also have season passes to Fiesta Texas so that works too!

Sounds good

Yukira

What's a good time? Friday/Saturday/Sunday?

Mysst

oh, I'll be gone most of august

rhylith

A Saturday in mid/late July would be ok (though it'll be hot as hell being outside all day).

pooka

oh, sweet, i was just pretending to be scandalized. i should do this more often!
(no.)
omg high school called:
July 26th -- 311, Cypress Hill and G. Love and the Special Sauce
July 13th -- Live, Sponge, Everclear, Filter

aw, man, now i'm reminded of all the stuff i'm going to miss, bloo

Yukira

When are you getting back, Pooka?

pooka

well, my flight back is July 6th to Tulsa, and i'm giving myself a week to visit around Oklahoma.

Mysst

...why

Yukira

Also, if it's stupidly hot as usual, we can always hit up Schlitterbahn instead of Fiesta Texas.

pooka

'cause Oklahoma is home.

Schlitterbahn is surprisingly good fun no matter how old you are; The Biergarten Heated Pool & Swim Up Bar is right up my alley.

I mean, seriously ... a biergarten in a pool in Texas in summer, that is all kinds of good; the Kemah Boardwalk is the only other location that's remotely feasible and that's just ... ewww.

Yukira

Yeah. Schlitterbahn is a pretty nice place to hit up.

Lets get dates and times people can make it so we can sort out things.

Yeah they do, it's gordough's public house over on south Lamar. The food is really good as long as you don't value your health and you can get a literal tower of beer.

Yeah that part is entirely stupid. They got a seperate domain for each restaurant and neither has a link to the other.
