Having just got back from Fremont, CA a week or two ago, I can attest to this statement. The Mexican food there was the blandest garbage I've ever tasted.

Come to Houston and get some Tex-Mex. (real mexican food is bland to me as well.)

It seems now is a good time to throw in a shameless plug for an event here in Tampa. We have theme parks and pirate parties and we won't kidnap anyone. Unless you're into that, there's a club in Ybor if you are.

True that. I went to San Jose a few years back and my Mom's cousin took me to a place that "has the best Mexican food you'll ever taste". While riding around sight-seeing later I looked at him and told him "You've been out of Texas too long if you think that was even DECENT Mexican food". He looked at me with a rather startled expression then said "Whoops, I forget you aren't from Colorado like most of the crew that comes out".
The only other Mexican food I've tasted that was worse was in Colorado. I found a place that advertised as "Authentic Tex-Mex Cooking" on the sign outside the front door. After struggling to keep down my meal, I asked the owner where she learned to cook Tex-Mex and she said "My mother" to which I replied "What in her recipe did you change? That was NOT Tex-Mex, I live on Tex-Mex when I'm back home in South Texas". She sheepishly responded that I was the first person who'd ever figured out she changed several things in Mother's recipes.
As for Neutra's suggestions, Hellz Yeah bring on the Devs. BaB, come as your SG toon and have anyone that knows you as BaB promise not to give it away. Enjoy the fun and the atmosphere. You may get an interesting perspective to take back to CA with you. Pohsyb, you must come and bring the box. Neutra and I can take turns stuffing you back into it on occaision if it will make you feel more comfortable. Castle, I don't know what to say. I hate crowds as well, and they make me more anti-social than I already am, but last years meet-n greet rocked big time, and that was without alcohol mixed in. If needed, do like I suggested BaB do and come undercover as your regular character. No one will know, no one will hassle you as much, and you may get some new ideas as well. Any other devs should come if for no other reason than to meet the people you make so happy each day and bask in the adoration.
Manoa, it is truly AWESOME that you will be there. I look forward to meeting you and the SO. From the looks of who all is coming (who's names I recognize at least) this should be even more fun than last year. Too bad we can't talk Miri and Vest into making the return trip. Something about having tickets to some Henry Rollins Rant the night before.
See you all there. I may take Neutra's suggestion and get a hotel room for the weekend. I'm considering blowing off w*rk that Friday to join Missy and Moggie for BBQ, and Manoa and company if they join in.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Hey! I have family in Pflugerville, cool!
And on the subject of Tex-Mex:
The best I've had is a little family run resturant right off of Military Drive just outside of Lackland AFB in San Antonio called Garibaldi's (think I'm spelling that right). Fairly authentic without the blandness.
In H-town there is a chain called Gringo's (aptly named) that's a pretty good sampling of Tex-Mex. They even went all out this summer and added a creation called 'Pulled Pork Quesadillas' that is out-freakin-standing

Diet be damned, I'm having me some real barbeque when we're out there for the meet and greet!
[/ QUOTE ]
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.
[/ QUOTE ]
Unfortunately, we won't be in town very long (my fat asthmatic feline is on medication and can't leave her unattended for too long), so we'll be flying into town early Saturday afternoon and will be flying out the following afternoon. But at least it's enough time to get over the hangover after the meet 'n greet and grab some good barbeque!
Though that all is assuming Priceline doesn't screw up on our plane tickets. I purchased our tickets last night, though I haven't gotten any sort of confirmation yet and am starting to get a little nervous! I've e-mailed CS to see what the heck is up.
Though if they do screw up, I guess that's an excuse to book the flight for Friday instead and join y'alls for some barbeque!

In the suburbian-heart of the Bay Area (places like Pacifica and Daly City) they have some of the best Mexican around.
Also, north of the Bay Area (places like Santa Rosa and Petaluma) are the closest thing you'll get to being in Mexico, eating with some family in their dining room. Stuff there is incredibly good.

Being 2 hours or less from Tampa, Orlando, St. Augustine, JAX, and such, I can attest to this.
Unfortunately for this thread, there's no way I could go to an event unless it were in one of these places.

Oh really o.0
as a native of Colorado, I think the problem is the lingo here were they stopped busing in Denver because there were more Hispanics then any one else, we don't have Tex-Mex in Colorado. We have Mexican food like what you get deep down south, comparing that to Tex-Mex witch is a different regional cousin, is like comparing either to Taco bell, yes our Tex-Mex is poor but your hard pressed to find good Mexican food in Texas as every one wants to make the best Tex-Mex...
Plus if ya'all come to Northern Colorado I will take you to get some of the best Hindi in the hemisphere...

All travel plans are booked and official...Teh Boyfriend and I can confirm that we are definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, coming to Austin! Now I can properly answer your question Moggie; we'll be flying in around 1:30pm-ish on Friday and will be leaving Sunday afternoon. Our original booking fell through or something...well, it's a blessing in disguise 'cause now I've been able to plan the trip with a little time so we can actually see a little bit of Austin!
Since we'll have some extra time to kill, any recommendations from the locals for eating establishments or things to see and do would be most welcome! And if anyone is interested in getting together before the meet 'n greet for lunch or dinner Friday and/or Saturday, please do let me know!
