I'm ready for the gaming expo. ;D
My wife and I are going to New Orleans next week. First time while working at UT that we are actually going on a little vacation during Spring Break. Going to miss most of SX Music but we never do much if anything except on Saturday anyway and we'll be back for that.
Hadn't heard of this place.. will have to try it some day after work or something. Torchy's remains my favorite, but El Tacorrido makes a mean torta and my wife loves their tacos. Cabo Bob's remains my second favorite after Torchy's and will be hard to displace.

Tomorrow is my day off, then I work deep in SXSW. Very ready for a day of rest between all this madness, been doing so many reports and meetings at work.
I work downtown too.

It really just all depends for you.
I feel its worth it for me on people cosplaying, and interacting with my FGC bros. I can't wait.

I got an email I can work from home today because of Obama and SXSW traffic. Yay!
But with Hitman out I'll be focused on mergers and acquisitions.

I never bother to eat at Tacodeli cause there just aren't any convenient to where I live or work.
And they're not open for dinner.

Day 1 of sxsw down. The next two days are gonna be absolute hell though. XD
It's open only to music, film, or interactive badges, right? I think the cheapest badge is $700, which is way too much for me.
May as well order an Oculus or Vive for that price.
Nope, it's free. Always has been.
The VR/AR experience too?

This says all badges, so even the free guest badge should work. This is the ony thing tempting me to go. http://www.sxsw.com/exhibitions/vrar-experience

Anyonw down for a meetup next weekend?
Sorry I forgot to respond, but welcome! Plenty of people live in Cedar Park, so you absolutely fit the bill! How have you liked your first couple weeks here?

Went to Pinballz recently. The X-men game had 1 CRT down and TMNT Turtles in Time was gone, but the new Star Wars game wasn't bad.
Otherwise, pretty impressed. Very lively for a weekday. Seems like every time I go it's much busier.

Yeah, when?
Yeah, I noticed that on X-Men last time I played. Kind of weird and sad. I didn't get to try the new SW game, though.
Was thinking Sat in the PM, but doesn't look like anyone else is interested because we have the best community.
If there's a get-together, you know I'm up for being potentially 50% of the attendants. Saturday would be good for me. Don't you normies have Friday off too?
It is Austin-GAF tradition, after all.
But yeah, I'm free all day Friday, too. Easter weekend and all that. We could do literally anything, GAF. ANYTHING.

Like eating?
Yes, like eating.
Not sure yet. I'm trying to last-minute throw something together, though.
Cool - I'll continue to lurk until a decision has been made :-D

Any of you guys thinking of going to Texas Showdown in Houston? I signed up for Dreamhack Austin and I noticed TS is not too far from it. Still contemplating of heading out there. I'll play anyone in SF5, CFN is SixMachine but I'll probably get a chance to play this weekend, pending some things that can come up.
What an ugly day today.
Noooo! This active, wonderful community can't wither away and die. I won't stand for that.

Some dude in town just got married at the Drafthouse this weekend and I looked at his twitter profile and he said he posted about this little Evangelion-themed poster his friend designed for him and his wife on NeoGAF. I don't know where he posted it at but, if you see this thread, congrats to the new husband and wife!

Found the thread http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1201218 if anyone wants to pass along their congratulations there.

The best street tacos in town are from Veracruz. There are a couple trucks scattered around the downtown area.
Thanks, the Manchaca location is not too far away from me. Gonna try it out soon.

Pueblo Viejo is my personal favorite. The Al Pastor and breakfast tacos are the best I've ever had. Not to mention fresh limeade.
Where are the best Mexican street tacos?
I could for some right now.
Oh, man that sounds good. I need to try that place.
So what's going on, people? Anyone up to anything cool lately?

I think my bloodstream is more Allegra than blood at this point.
The coolest thing I'm doing right now is breathing through my nose.

Still waiting on that event.
Event? As in Austin-GAF meet-up? Ha!
You guys know I'm practically always down for something, right?
Yeah, I don't think it was as hard as you guys. It was pretty rough thunderstorm for about 2 hours, but it didn't seem too too terrible. SA probably got the worst of it.
