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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
