Hello! It is only 23 days to PAX South 2015, happening in San Antonio, Texas on January 23rd-25th. That means it's high time we get a thread going to find a place where we can put on our tallest cowboy hats, shiniest boots, and largest silver-adorned belt buckles to dine and drink in Texas style.
If you're in the area and not sure whether you want to come, tickets for PAX on Friday and Sunday are still available!
More importantly, if you're not sure whether you want to come,
what is wrong with you. Come join us for dinner and drinks! Everyone's welcome! It'll be a hoot 'n a holler.
The Date: Saturday, Jan 24th
@8PM
Guadalajara hits all the marks for great quality Mexican - it's local, it's authentic, and it's made with fresh ingredients. It's practically across the street from the Convention Center, in a historic building. The food will be a combination of traditional tex-mex and Mexican interior... rest assured, there will be guacamole. Private dining will be available on the 2nd floor. Fajitas and enchiladas might seem a little too casual for those of you not used to eating Mexican food in a fine-dining environment, but I think you will be be pleasantly surprised.

im swamped with work so I can't do a PAX )))):
BUT I COULD DEF DRIVE UP TO THE DINNER
Let me see if this will work out.
I'll be back in the thread in a few.
I guess Guadalajara.
How fancy is fancy in texas? I'm from Seattle, I have a hard time not wearing flip-flops.
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
I literally wear them in the snow.

As long as you don't wear a damned utilikilt I think you'll be OK?
Closed-toed shoes are required if you identify as a man.
I have pictures of me at ePAX in the snow in Boston in flip-flops.
It doesn't snow here.
I'm trying to get a couple of my friends to join in.

Other PAX goers? This thread is invisible under the announcement unless I keep poking it. If you know anybody in D&D who's joining us, please direct them over here!
I need to lock down numbers by Monday of next week.
I abstain from voting. I go where the locals or semilocals go.
woo!
You wouldn't want me there anyway, I'm a friggin' lefty and I would just bump elbows with you when you're trying to engorge your maws on fancy foodstuffs.
Aww, spool's lefter than most congressional democrats.
Come. Dooo eeeeet.

Well duh, this is not the pax east dinner.
Edit: wait he has a kid? IDGI I'm so confused.

But I can totally see how someone would interpret my post that way!
This would almost double our attendance and affect pricing and location both. Have those people post their opinion in the thread!
liberals and left-handed types welcome, please do commit and join us!
also... you are aware this is the pax SOUTH (texas) thread right? @Dolarrah ? just making sure
QEDMF xbl: PantsB G+
Yes, please RSVP myself and +1. I might have another too, but we'll see.
@spool32
@Fuzzy Cumulonimbus Cloud did you hear back? Did the guilt trip work?
My Wife, My daughter, Her Boy Friend and his sister, and 3 friends from Texas. None are forum people per sae. so no opinions other then they want to know where and how much.
@Dolarrah Hey... I don't want to sound like a silly goose here but these gatherings have traditionally been an opportunity for forumers and their close friends or partners to gather and catch up over drinks and an upscale meal. We'd love to have you and your +1 or even +2 join, but I'm afraid that an additional six people who don't participate in the forum community, especially when there are only 12 confirmed forumers, isn't really in the spirit of the gathering.
I hope you don't take it as any sort of an insult - I'd love to meet you and your wife, and I'm sure everyone else feels the same, but I've got to ask you to limit yourself to +1 or 2 folks who aren't forum members.
Me and +1 to be explicit.
My body is ready.
You will recognize me by my dapper gear *tips fedora*.
