Lived there for a spell; in 82-83.
Edited to add:
If you ever wanna do good by your son: Make him live in Texas for a few years and pick up the accent. Then move to the Pacific Northwest. The girls there just eat it up.
I can still break it out if i try, but of course I'm married now and my wife just thinks it's cute. 
BAB I had NO idea. That's pretty cool. I lived in Conroe for 6 years before moving back to Dallas. Loved it there. I'd love to go to the meet and greet, but timing just didn't work out.

It counts if you're living in Texas. We don't fault anyone who isn't originally from Texas, as long as you got here as soon as you could
Oh yeah...

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Diet be damned, I'm having me some real barbeque when we're out there for the meet and greet!

Manoa you'll be in town? When will you guys get in? Several of the locals (me and Miss Informed) like to eat BBQ on Fridays for lunch. We could share some of the good spots with you if you'd like.

There's something obviously up when someone's been playing for 3 years and has no veteran awards...
[/ QUOTE ]
Huh? I'm confused. What's stopping BaB the player from having a normal account?
[/ QUOTE ]
PURE SPECULATION now.
I suspect that they do have "normal" accounts. I also suspect that Vet rewards are handed out based on billing information. I further suspect that these accounts are free and have no billing information.
I therefore draw the conclusion out of thin air that the above set of hypothetical conditions causes the normal characters on dev accounts to never receive vet rewards.

Sounds logical.

As a person who moved to Austin, TX from the Bay Area in CA I can tell you this: I didn't know what real barbeque was until I moved out here.
We should send them a teeny tiny box of Texas Barbeque and tell them they can't have more unless the come to Austin.
(Works both ways, though. No one out here can make really good Sourdough bread, either. Sure, they LABEL things Sourdough... but it's not. It's a mere facsimile.)

SexyJay gave us a real Texas Style Barbecue not too long ago. Good stuff...I could feel my arteries hardening!
As far as public appearances go, I swore off trade shows about a decade ago (or maybe, I was sworn off of them. Something about being forced to demo a product I thought was doomed and being honest about it when asked...not real sure.)
A "Meet & Greet" might be different, and there is at least a small chance I'd go to one locally. I hate travelling and dislike crowds -- not a great combination. Makes me a bit anti-social.
Besides, EvilGeko and Angry-Citizen would kidnap me, lock me in a room and do horrible things to me.
