You can still see Gervin "play" if you watch the local Jordan Ford commercials. He's teamed up with a really short guy who goes to my church.

Welcome, David. This post, by the way, is good advice.

Yes, good advice. I'm a long time member of a couple of forums. Every forum seems to have those 10 or so questions that get asked over and over again by newbies. I hereby promise not to make you guys rehash any of that stuff...that's what archives are for!

OU Music ed grad 1996. Sooner fan. Come from an Aggie family. So, chipster....we'll just stick with tuba!

(truthfully, I have a healthy respect for the fine UT tradition...anyway, my granddad was a Longhorn)

Thanks again, guys for the warm welcome. It's good group.

Me, too. Blanco Cafe, Mexican Manhattan Restaurant, Brown's Mexican Foods, El Mirador, 410 Diner, Rudy's, the Tip Top, Pico de Gallo...the list just goes on and on.

But I only learned the dirty words.

Every place has problems. We might have more Hispanic gangs up here than in SA--though they are mostly Salvadorean.

Boy I could use a cold one right now! I don't know San Antonio well enough to answer that question. I just go to wherever my San Antonio clan drags me.

Whereever it would be, I'd be buying you guys a round of margaritas for saving me from that ebay scam! I'm still a little shell-shocked ...

If you guys weren't watching out for me .... GEEZ! Don't even want to think about it.
