New(ish) to Texas, need to fill geek-shaped-hole in my heart.

[Susan 'Sky' Taylor]

I'm hoping this group is still alive. I've recently moved from England
to San Antonio and after chilling out on the Dtoid forums since
September I thought it was about time I actually tried to meet some
locals.

So, what do you folks do for fun in Texas?

[Chaz]

I just got into Dallas myself a few months ago and I'm just now starting to get my feet underneath me.  This group is fairly quiet, but I'm hoping with the holidays being over we can get some things going again

We drink beer and fill geek shaped holes.

[Susan 'Sky' Taylor]

It's just a pain that Texas is so mahoosive.

Oh, and just in case I may know some of you on Dtoid already (although
I doubt it) I'm "The Virgin Queen" over there.

[Conor Hogan]

Dtoid has forums? ha! Welcome to Texas though. We do stuff at random intervals.

[John Solgrim]

DTOID TEXAS BEST DTOID

[Susan 'Sky' Taylor]

We should do more stuff at less random intervals. Stuff involving
alcohol, vidya games and other generic nerdy shite.

How do we know that you havent come to take your country back? Effing terrorists!

[Susan 'Sky' Taylor]

"Y'all" can keep it. I'm only here for the steaks.

A. What the fuck is Solgrim doing here?

B. Conor, do you know my probably favorite moment from the other weekend that I almost forgot about? Your sisters were saying you looked like someone famous (can't remember who), and I say, "Yeah, maybe if they had Bell's Palsy." and they both looked at me like I had slapped baby Jesus and you couldn't stop laughing. Good times.

C. Hello new person. Most of the activities happen in Austin. Sean Carey lives there and he is our "Grand Wizard", so to speak. 

[John Solgrim]

Do I need a reason? I mean, really?

- John Solgrim

[Conor Hogan]

I remember that shit Greg. Fucking hilarious

[Susan 'Sky' Taylor]

Austin, thankfully, is only an hour and a bit away so that's not too
shabby.

[Daniel Sanford]

I'm an Austin native and though I haven't actually made it out to any
of the NARPs around Texas, they seem to happen about every 2-4 months
here in town. They're always going on when I have something else
already scheduled.

On Jan 4, 11:21 pm, "Susan 'Sky' Taylor"

[Mike Hagar]

Who the fuck are you people?

[Neal Ballard]

Hey VQ! I'm always happy to see another Dtoider in my neck of the woods, especially a forumer like myself.  We usually hold something about every-other-month or so here in Austin, usually switching off between Sean Carey's place and mine, but I think one of our other NARP regulars (Bryan a.k.a Hoarr) is planning on something in a few weeks.  And if you're looking for steaks, then you came to the right place!

[Janel]

Dammit people, I can't just drive out to Austin whenever. I think us DFW people need to get together and complain about the rest of you.

[Kerry Trotman]

Ditto for Houston.

[Conor Hogan]

I'm in Houston, and I only get off my ass to hang out with Greg and
Mike, now that our Drunkcast partner in crime (Travis) never goes
anywhere :P I love the rest of you, but I need people that I KNOW will
get at least as stupidly shitty as I like to.

[Mike Hagar]

And my axe!

[Conor Hogan]

Also, I demand Drunkcast reunion soon. I'm all graduated like a
cylinder and shit. So now I have the time and money to get drunk
whilst computing.

[Neal Ballard]

To me, it makes the most sense to have meetups in Austin, since it's the most central of all the major Texas cities.  It's about equidistant from both Dallas/Ft. Worth and Houston. 

[Allistair Pinsof]

Also, two Dtoid staff members live in Austin!

I demand an industrial vat of queso, a bowl of M&M's (minus brown), and a fridge full of Four Loko. Then I'll come.

And yet you will get a normal amount of queso, whatever candy/food stuffs I choose (or whoever is hosting), and normal beer/liquor (plus whatever other's bring).  In return you get to meet some pretty damn awesome people and, y'know, play games and stuff.

[Janel]

To DFW? Got it. I love the brown M&Ms.

He just put that in there to make sure we're reading the contract correctly. Disregard.

No Janel. No one likes David Foster Wallace. People just need to suck it up and drive to Austin. Speaking of which, I might (hopefully) be moving to Austin within the month, and if so I will try to start help organizing things again.

On a side note, I just saw that the Zelda symphony will be coming through Austin on June 22.  I've got my tickets bought.  Anyone else plan on going?  Maybe I'll hold a NARP the following night as well.  Maybe.

What the fuck are video games? Call me when Hall and Oates comes to town.

We've discussed this, that is the only day MY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST allows me to drive. Speaking of witch, have I told you about MY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST yet? I have pamphlets! :D Note: Not necessarily my lord and savior.

except for the parts for "NARP" and ":D"
