I didn't mean to get all negative there. I would like to stop by, but given my schedule, anything further than a few blocks away is problematic. Let's try to come up with somewhere well in advance, I guess.

San Marcos would be a good compromise for San Antonio and Austin.

I'll be very new to the area, so I'm all for meeting as many people as possible.

There is a lot more to do in San Marcos than go to the outlet mall, but most of it is outdoorsy. Gristmill is tasty, but was kinda pricey last time I went.
I am game for the 2nd.

The Showdown Saloon sounds good. I can't believe how large the menu is.

Oh, I was wondering if it was affiliated with the Showdown in Austin. Neato. Can we have a showdown while we're there?

I probably won't have my car by then, so any Austinite willing to give me a ride will get either gas money or a free meal. Thanks!

Guys it had a Galaga cocktail cabinet! Okay and a Ms. Pacman one, but really Galaga is superior.
It was my first time in San Marcos proper.
Kinda lame for the non-shows but yeah.
I'm game for the next Austin meet-up.

Couldn't we just do a home-and-home deal for two consecutive meetups? I have classes and literally about 3 or 4 hours of free time a week.
