   I'm trying to think now who I know in San Antonio. I guess it'll be at the    
   Convention Center or somewhere else downtown -- that's one of the most    
   confusing cities to drive in, since everything expands out from the Alamo    
   instead of downtown being a grid.   
   Still, it's been a very long while since I ate at the Mi Tierra, and a    
   Worldcon is even more incentive.
