Author ArchiveEvent Location: Unloading Information: - Pat I called Tricia to get information on admission for the general public, and it’s a good thing I did!! IMPORTANT — IMPORTANT — IMPORTANT — IMPORTANT WE WILL NOT be offloading, unloading, etc. our stuff on the South Alamo Street (west) side of the convention center! Tricia tells me that we will be performing this task on the South Bowie Street (east) side of the convention center…where, I am not exactly sure. A glance at the Google Maps hybrid view of the convention center shows two distinct areas at which a lot of vehicles could park. So the best I can tell you is to exit Commerce Street as planned from IH-37 (not IH-35) South, turn right (west) onto East Commerce, then turn left (south) onto South Bowie Street. When you get to the Convention Center after crossing over East Market Street, look for the long line of vehicles. Hey, at least you won’t have to do a U-turn to get to the loading area. Tricia also informs me that unloading time is more like 1PM to 6PM, maybe 7PM-ish, but certainly not 9PM! So please bear this in mind. FYI, general admission for adults is $5.00 and free for anyone under 18. I only mention this because I cannot find it anywhere on the Baptist Health website or any other site detailing the HBCE. Only 12 Days Left Until HBCE! Official Set-Up is on Friday, March 2, 2007 from 1PM to 9PM! We will be setting up our display for the Healthy Baby and Child Expo at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio on Friday, March 2, 2007. The HBCE Staff allows setup between the hours of 1PM and 9PM. However, to my knowledge you can still bring stuff in on Saturday as a lot of vendors did this last year. Chris M, please issue any corrections on this that you know of. (Chris: Yes but you must be setup before the event opens.) Location of Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center: 200 East Market Street, San Antonio, Texas 78205 (210) 224-9600
(The above unloading information is incorrect! See above post dated February 21, 2007.) There is a nice parking garage on South Bowie Street and situated between East Commerce and East Market. If you get lost, remember that the Tower of the Americas (tallest thing in San Antonio) is across from the southeast corner of the convention center, so drive towards that! For good recon photos, use Google Maps, paste the convention center address into the search box, hit <Enter>, and then click the Hybrid icon. Zoom in a bit and you can definitely see the convention center and For the record, I (Pat) plan to be at the Convention Center on Friday at 1PM or shortly thereafter.

When: Sean Luke MacDougald Gallery After Approval: Taken about 59 minutes after birth: Taken about 5.5 hours after birth: Greetings fellow TexLUG-ers, Lee and I feel it is high time for a TexLUG meeting with the San Antonio (and New Braunfels) folks. Of course, all TexLUG is invited. We would like to meet on Saturday, May 13, 2006 at 1PM. We propose as our May meeting place Goerke’s Country Tavern, 1901 Weil Road in Marion, Texas 78124 (actually “5 and 1/2 miles west of Marion”.) Goerke’s may be familiar to at least four members of our group. For the rest of you, it is a place that has nice long tables suitable for LEGO meets, and they serve food of the type that requires lots of napkins and makes it futile to try to be polite while eating it. So bring your MOCs, trades, your LEGO news (or any news) and your hungry selves to Goerke’s and let’s remind each other what we look like! Post by Chris for Pat. Next weekend we’ll be that the Healthy Baby and Child Expo. Be sure to stop by the booth. For more information check out the news posting. It looks like LEGO Education has posted the information about the next generation of Mindstorms on their blog. |
