Hey guys...

I'm going to make my first ever vacation in the US. Booked my flight a few days ago and since this trip a pure "I-gotta-see-them-Spurs-to-fullfill-a-lifelong-dream"-trip I'm going to at least 2 out of the 3 games taking place between Feb 22th and March 2nd.

I already ordered tickets for the OKC- and the Sunsgame and I'm thinking of going to Houston as well.

Now I have a few questions, I hope some of you guys can provide answers to:

1. What kind of weather can I expect by the end of Feb?

2. I still don't have a Hotel. I don't need something extraordinary, just a place to sleep. Something about 50-80$ a night, within walking distance (5-10, max 15 minutes) to the Riverwalk would be perfect. Recommendations?

3. I have to pick my tickets up on gameday at the AT&T-Center. What extra time do I have to calculate pregame to get them?

4. I sure as hell will go out partying in SA. I'm sure you can name some good clubs/bars where I can have a good time... (I prefer starting in some kind of Rockbars before go clubbing)


Thats all for now, help is extremely appreciated!

And btw if someone wants to join me on my partymission: let's get it on:toast

Well my friend you've come to the right place. Give me a moment to gather up the information you will need to make your trip a memorable one.

Yeah don't go to Rive then. That is a gay bar. The guys that go there spend at least 5 hours getting ready before they go then once they get there all they do is check each other out. It's a sausage fest and dudes are always making out in there. It's pretty gross dude.

I apologize in advance for keeping San Antonio lame.

I think that really the only hotel that you can get that meets your parameters would be the Motel 6 on IH-10 next to UTSA Downtown campus.

sweet. let me know. there are a ton of cool spots to go to downtown. lots of good food. you wont be sorry.

this is a pretty good rock bar downtown called Bond's 007 on Soledad, I believe another recently opened on Houston St but I do not recall the name. Otherwise just walk around the riverwalk and Houston st areas and you'll find something to suit your taste. I like liquid monkey myself, hole in the wall but always a cool crowd and cheap drinks, its right down the street from the alamo. next to pat obrien's

60-80 bucks is pretty cheap for downtown area, best bet is going to be the hotels near sunset station since they are on the other side of the freeway, there is a red roof and best western, and i think a staybridge as well. These are 5 minute drive to the at&t center and 5 min walk to riverwalk .

Under no circumstances should you walk to the at&t center, take a cab!

will call is usually pretty quick, doors open 1 hour prior to game so plan to arrive around then.

enjoy your trip, I hope you get to see victories and no defeats!

good looking out. wish the att center was downtown and not in the middle of the eastside. (ghetto)

rent a car and drive up to Austin if you really wanna party.

Reading this thread makes me jealous :(

That sounds great. Thank you man! :tu
Are there shuttlebusses from town to the AT&T Center?

At&t center is 8-10 miles from downtown.

Not sure exactly where your from but downtown San "Anto" as the locals call it is not that steller. If your sold on downtown do your partying around the river walk, more tourist not so many degenerate locals.

If your looking for Texas Ladies San Anto provides a very poor representation of whats available.

Unless teenage mothers and fat dike lesbos is your thing.

May I make a recommendation?

Save alittle cash for a car rental and stay in AUSTIN near to or on six street. Much better night life, girls, and locals! Plus Austin is roughly an 1 hour away from the At&T center a straight shot down South bound 35. :toast

I second this - clean rooms, wifi and only a mile from downtown (riverwalk & co). That's an easy walk, or a cheap taxi ride. I remember it cost me around $60 a night last summer, I checked now and for your dates it's more like $45 a night.

your a piece of shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

san antonio has the most beautiful girls in texas. austin girls are nothing but 18-24 year old college girls from everywhere in the world. those girls dont represent texas girls. the club i advised him to go to is perfect for out of towners and is on the riverwalk.

This place is pretty cool to eat and drink too. I am 30 and I enjoy it, but I have never been typical. When I was in my early 20's I would rather go to a bar that was quiet enough to talk and didn't necessarily feature the best looking girls in town, than to go to the meat markets that were loud and you couldn't talk. J-st cafe has a slightly older crowd.

1. Texas weather is highly variable. Be prepared for anything from temps in the 40s to the 80s (that would be high single digits to mid-20s C). Check the long term forecast before you fly over; Weather Underground is a pretty decent site. Be aware that it's often pretty wet (for San Antonio) this time of year.

2. Public transit in the US sucks; I seriously recommend renting a car. If you do you can stay at places away from downtown where the prices are much cheaper.

3. If you want to soak in the whole experience, arrive about an hour before tipoff. You will have to pay to park at the AT&T.

4. I'm an old fart living in Austin so can't help you there.

Have a great visit! If you do rent a car, the San Antonio missions are worth a visit, especially Missions San Jose and Concepcion. A trip to the Alamo is de rigueur, just be aware that it's smack dab in the middle of downtown and surrounded by commercial buildings. San Jose gives you a much more authentic feel for what a Spanish mission was like in the 1700s.

I'm from Germany an have never been to the states before, so I really don't have the slightest idea where to go. But I have plenty of time and I'm open for everything...

Thank you guys. Really appreciate your help and as I said before: plenty of time + saved enough $ for this vacation + willing to go out and party = I'm gonna go to lot's of the bars you mentioned so far...

Let me try and illustrate a (hopefully) typical evening in smilieys:
:toast:toast:toast:vomit::toast:toast:blah:lmao:to ast:sleep:sleep:jekka:jekka:danceclub:cheer:dancec lub:cheer:blah:makeout:makeout:dizzy:married::slee p:sleep:sick:elephant:dramaquee:donkey.
I hope, I can skip that marrypart though. In my book the rest is fine/acceptable.

Hey Pook, if your German you might want to check this place out:http://www.beethovenmaennerchor.com/calendar.htm

It's a fun place to party, and when the cougars are out, they'll eat you up!:toast It's also in King William Historical District, and close to the Blue Star Art Complex which you should check out while your here.

The Bonham Exchange http://www.bonhamexchange.net/wkend.html is alot of fun on a Friday night, when it's a mixed crowd (gays/straights), and is in a fine old 3 story building a few blocks from the Alamo downtown!

If you stay downtown, they have a Trolley bus, that goes 4 - 5 different routes around down town, and you can ride it all day for cheap!

Have fun!!!:toast

No kidding. I was trying to tell the guy I was just kidding about it being a gay club. Oh well I guess it can't be a gay club if he is meeting whores there and banging them on the first date.
She didn't make you put it in the pooper did she. Dude you might have an imposter on your hands. If she made you suck her cawk then she is probably a dude.
