Any idea where in Texas?

(Austin is a neat city. Other cities are ... less so.)

Austin *is* a pretty neat city. Lots to do there. But Houston isn't so bad, either, except for horrific traffic. Dallas has plenty of things to do, too. Basically, there's not really a 'better' choice, just a more convenient choice.

Only real benefit of Dallas I can see is that DFW is there, so flights would be a bit easier. That said, if everyone arrives in a day or two of each other, I can meet people and we can carpool down to wherever else.
This is not the greatest post in the world, no... this is just a tribute.

Heh, at last discussion the motion was more toward doing ACEN.

Anyhow, I'll try and geton top of doing a writeup soon.
Well, Goodbye.

Let's go to PAX East instead! =p

Nooo, I kid.  Though going to one of the PAX cons to meet up would be pretty awesome.
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

It's a video game convention on or around labor day weekend, in Seattle.

PAX East is usually around Feb/March on the East Coast.  I think they tend to hold it in Boston, but I"m not 100% on that one. I'd have to look it up.

Yep, Boston. It's not bad, but it's no Seattle.

What if they're not stars at all? What if the night sky is full of titanic far-off lidless eyes, staring in all directions across eternity?

It's been quiet here on the arranging.

My bad certainly.  Had my head in a bunch of other places.  Unfortunately, I got bad news.  My finances for the year aren't looking like they'll have room for this trip.  This isn't to say others can't manage to make it fun, but the whole 'buy a house in CA' has eradicated my savings entirely, so I can't really safely promise to show up anywhere outside of driving distance.

I do think a convention get-together is a good/cool idea for the trip, if someone else is able to step up to organizing.  Sorry for the downer news on the tenth anniversary hangout.  :(
Well, Goodbye.

I have to mention, with the baby on the way, things are tight here as well - someday, there will be a reckoning! :D

In fact, I vote that we name Soulriders 2013 - "Soulriders - The Reckoning!"

Cy and I will probably be super broke for a while but if anyone wants to come visit us in our new place in Toronto, we can always set something up.
