    I actually feel pretty good. No worse than I normally feel, but I'm a generally unhealthy dude. If anything, PAX weekend was more exercise than I normally get.

    With that said, I tried not to touch anything, barely hung around the expo hall, and washed my hands well.

    Are you still with NIS? Did you happen to go to No Name seafood on sunday?

    Haha umm...yes and yes. How much did you hear...!?

    I think we were in the bathroom together.

    What's this about PAX South now?

    San Antonio! Jan 23-25 next year.

    It might actually be the best venue for pax so far. The convention center is slightly smaller than Boston but larger than Seattle. It's right there by the riverwalk and surrounded by hotels. Also, post PAX fajitas.

    @Rhylith, what is the downtown/nightlife situation like in San Antonio?

    This is perhaps the most important question for a PAX event.

  • rhylithrhylith Death Rabbits HoustonRegistered User regular
    I don't live there and have never actually been there but the river walk is the main tourist draw of the city.

    @yukira care to chime in?

  • orthancstoneorthancstone TexasRegistered User regular
    Downtown SA has a number of places within walking distance of the convention center, and the area is built well for walking on both the Riverwalk and the street level so most of them are easy to get to.

    Granted, the nature of it being a tourist area means there's plenty of overrated stuff hogging space too, but that's just unavoidable.

    PAX South 2018 - Jan 12-14!

    Rough estimate on how many people will drunkenly fall into the Riverwalk?

    Or go to that restaurant where they insult you?

    More PAX South details per thing: it's January 23 through 25 from the Henry B. Gonzalez convention center which is right on the river walk. I went and looked through Hilton hotels and there's rooms available for as low as $101 per night

    I'm sorry! We tried to go by the booth, but the first time you weren't there, and the second time I couldnt get near the merch stand! It was nuts this year on the floor. Next time I'll have to drag you away from the convention so we can actually hang out

    You guys don't even know

    The four guys I was with each brought local jerky

    I bought olives and sun-dried tomatoes

    Then someone left breakfast burritos under the radiator

    And the air conditioning kept our room at a balmy 71

    Once showers started it was like the bog of eternal stench

    I decided to reserve a hotel room for San Antonio for that weekend...just in case. I plan to check the hotel site through PAX when it becomes available. Airfare is $330 round trip...which, while probably not bad to experience flyers, feels pretty steep when a train round trip this year to Boston was under $100.

  • rhylithrhylith Death Rabbits HoustonRegistered User regular
    Might be a little too early to book airfare and get the best rates.

    I'd really love to go to PAX South, it's even a bit closer. But then I'd have trouble taking time off for both that and East, and East is my real jam.

    EDIT: and just now getting on my flight home, stayed a couple extra days to hang out with friends and family and I miss this area dearly. I'd love to move back up here, income allowing, and why isn't it March yet.

    I hear all the good BBQ is in Texas, and its my birthday (at the start of the month), so it seems I might give it a try next year over East.

    Since I will have just moved to Austin, it is virtually foretold that I will be there.

    Also I'll have more SE++ time in a sort of PLEASE HANG OUT WITH ME sense, because my traditional PAX crew can't take time off in January for various reasons.

    Well, snow this far into April is pretty rare. That said I was surprised to see this when I let the dogs out to pee this morning.

    But San Antonio is kind of a dumb city, and Austin would have been better.

    maybe next year? dunno, we definitely have infrastructure for convention, but so does SA.
