I'm coming to Texas from Australia in April 2014... 4 games in 6 nights! Advice?

[Skull-1]

You're flattering yourself again.
The only one you're fooling is yourself. No one except maybe skull and Tgy pays any attention to your ignorant posts.
Sorry to break it to you.
What? You really believed I would ever want to meet a backward doltish hillbilly like you? You are easier to fool than I thought!
No, I am just toying with you two trolls and have been for quite a while now, but you've been too obtuse to realize it.
Most of us are ashamed you attempt to call yourselves Spur fans because you exhibit zero class for a true long term Spur fan. You are more of the Mav/Laker variety.
And you exhibit all the mental a en and maturity of a small child.
Each one of your posts sinks you deeper in your own abysmal mire, so keep it up. You are great comic relief.

Class? This little punk is talking about class? LMAO at the irony!

TE contributes way more than the little 15 year old parrot ever dreamed.

First round on me, TE.

That's exactly right, you have no class and we are ashamed you call yourself a Spurs fan. You must be a snot nosed punk because no intelligent adult would and whine and moan like you do.
Want more?
You keep asking for it. And you keep following me around this forum like a little .
Why don't you do us all a favor and go back to your Mavs or Lakers teams where you belong?
We true Spurs fans never whine like immature crybabys, but that is your MO.
Aren't you through trolling this site yet?
And you still haven't posted a single informative intelligent take yet, rather you plague us here with narrow minded BS all the while refusing to acknowledge those of us who continually poke holes in your redundant arguments.
A word of advice, take your ball and just go home, because you are a total laughing stock here.
It behooves me and others to put you in your place time and time again with each new inaccuracy that you post. Your food BS took the cake, no pun intended.
Frankly, you are becoming too predictable and booring barely worth a laugh.

[TE]

Still posting, but you ain't salty tho...

Sorry to interupt.

Looking to book accommodation at the La Quinta Inn Market Square. From what I've read this looks a decent location. I'm driving in, so I'm happy to avoid the Riverwalk locations, and apparently I can catch a "trolley" near here to downtown locations. It also looks simple enough to drive to games from this location? Thoughts/Opinions?

I also don't have limitless funds, and this cheaper hotel frees me up to stay more centrally in Houston.

Trying to recall if I have stayed there since they remodeled it. If so, it is decent. Just can't remember.

Yo Skull, which places do you normally watch games?

That is a decent motel chain comparable to Best Western and almost as nice as the Holiday Inn. It is right downtown within walking distance of the RiverWalk, the Alamo, and the Market Square (farmers market) so you won't need the trolley.
And it's fairly easy to drive to the AT&T Center from there. Rush hour traffic is about the only thing that might impede you.
Whatever you do, do not pay any attention to anything posted by those two trolls skull and TE because they are only good for misinformation and leading you astray. Most of us just laugh at them.

[Mel_13]

No not really. I've been arguing with a couple of well known trolls here is all it is. I thought they might be reasonable, but I forgot that trolls don't use reason, if they did they wouldn't be trolling and that is how they get their kicks.
Just do what most of us do and don't pay any attention to them and they'll just slink away. They are good for comic relief.

Fine advice.

Unfortunately, your 50 posts in this thread, nearly all of them OT, lead to the conclusion that you are not among those that follow that advice. Your protests that your debate partners are trolls are difficult to take seriously given the facts that you fired the first shot and continued with personal attacks in many of your subsequent posts.

It would be great if you would simply follow your own advice and allow this thread to get back on topic.

Your advice is well taken. I thought of that very thing many times but couldn't resist correcting them.
However, I stand corrected myself. I am not too proud or dense headed not to admit when I've gone wrong. My bad.

In the Valley, Wings and Rings by the EBG hospital.

In the Valley, Wings and Rings by the EBG hospital.

Edinburg Regional hospital?

[boutons_deux]

Edinburg Regional hospital?

I think so. The new one. Close to 281.

Now that I've put them on my ignore list, I miss laughing at their childish juvenile attempts at trying to put me down, as well as correcting their wild ignorant narrow minded posts.
Go figure! They really were comic relief in their pitiful efforts at sarcasm.
I may reinstate those three trolls.

Congratulations on planning your pilgrimage, hsxvvd! You are adding to a strong ST tradition started by Jurgen in 2002 and 2005 (IIRC?), and then me in 2003 and 2007.

03, 05 & 07... You need to head back, them good years. ... I can only hope I bring the same luck.

As a fellow aussie who made the trip twice, you got any advice?

On another note when is yahoo going to get this fantasy up and running.... I need redemption.

Looks like the little boy is whistling past the graveyard, still, TE. LOL

Sounds like he is trying to reassure himself.

Besides bringing a little luck, bring a little rain with you when you come, we could use it.

Lemme think about that and I'll get back to you.

Yahoo is up. Let's get the band back together!

Looks like the Rio Grande Valley is going to get some major rainfall next week from tropical storm Ingred.

When you're here in San Antonio and ready to try some of the best Mexican food in the world which is one of the things San Antonio is world famous for, then let me know and I, and others on here, will give you some tips on some of the best places to go, and I promise not to steer you wrong because I am a connoisseur of TexMex and other foods.

[exstatic]

Definitely no reason to buy a parking pass beforehand. I always park in the lots furthest from the AT&T center because they are the cheapest. Like $8.00 I think. Even considering you have to walk back there, always seems like I get out of the parking lot in around 15 minutes. They have their down directing traffic out of that place.

Werd. Lot 8, FTW.

Its rained everyday the last 6 days. Its gotten outright ridiculous. We were under a scorching drought. That's all but gone after this entire week.

Now with the new tropical system emerging in the Gulf. We might get additional rain that we otherwise didn't need.
