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.
