You got the majority of the morbidly obese. Congrats.

Fuck yes Texas. You got a problem, you take it up with my Lucheses on your way out the door baby

>>4625615

Enjoy your shitty weather.

>>4625631
I have air conditioning suck my dick :D

We have some damn fine women here.

fuck yeah best economy in the US

what the fuck is up with Texas, New york, New Jersey, and California thinking their gods blessing to this country?

No one likes you, stop acting so fucking pompous.

texas means business.

I like Texas. I hate the weather. But I enjoy it most of the time.

I like it a lot more than Florida.

>>4625639
>we got some damn fat women fuck yeah

It's okay, be proud of your chubby chassers

You are pointing out the wro- oh fuck it. FUCK YEAR TEXAS.

San japans coming up guys, anyone got plans yet?

*chasers

>>4625643
Not so much CA. California is shit right now and everyone knows it. I live in SoCal and trust me, I'd rather not.

>>4625639
Enjoy your oil spilled beaches, humidity, thunderstorms, obese people, hicks, brown recluse spiders, hurricanes, lack of grocery variety, mosquitoes, lack of activities, lack of theme parks, high property tax, and traffic.

>Texas
>Only number five on the list for states with the highest teen pregnancy

Are you even trying? You don't even teach sex ed and you're a huge state. There's no reason you shouldn't be number one.

>>4625669
What texas are you taking about?

>>4625664

Curiosity strikes me. Whats going on over there?

I will never forget my summer in Dallas.

I had to spend it with this horrible bitch of a woman, who seemed to be putting her three year old on track to be on MTV's Sweet Sixteen (is that even a show still?). That entire month, I had to hold back from telling her off. And to top it all off, she never let me actually see Dallas. I saw a few events, but everything I wanted to do was shot down, even though that was part of the reason I was there. I still get angry when I think about her.

>>4625684
>>4625684
I like it here in Southern California lol, and as far as problems every state has their own issues, I am just thankful for good weather and lot's of stuff to do.

>>4625689

You get that shit anywhere you go, the accent will be different but the people stay the same. Wish you could have enjoyed the area, there are some amazing things in the DFW area.

>>4625693
>implying the weather isnt fine in texas
>implying there is more to do in cali than texas
NOPE.avi

Mmm, this TXfag is reporting in.

>>4625684
Shit economy, shit real estate, no one can get work, no one can afford to even fucking live there because they keep raising rent costs on apartments and housing.

Not to mention Social Security benefits as well as SSI are steadily decreasing.

But the weather is SO NICE!!!!! (sarcasm)

>mfw Texas thread

I love this place. So much better than Russia.

texas sounds like fun
is texas fun
i might go there

>>4625706
Much though I enjoy living in Texas ... have you not been outside lately, dude? We're in the middle of the worst drought in decades. We have wildfires popping up statewide. Fireworks are banned for the 4th. Fires in general are banned for the next three months.

The weather, right now, is shit.

>>4625669

No beaches in Dallas (and did we even get hit by the oil spill?), humidity is everywhere, you really used thunderstorms as a reason?, obese people are everywhere, hicks are everywhere, spiders too?, hurricanes hit over 15 states, I have Aldi/Kroger/Whole Foods/Sams Club all within 3 miles of my house, the mosquitos are never that bad and again...everywhere, tons of shit to do, Six Flags is 20 minutes away, and I drive 70 to and from work every day with minimal traffic.

Try again.

>>4625719

Considering the storms we've had the past few days, that may change soon.

>>4625706
If you read what I put I never said Texas didn't, I simply stated that I am happy that I can enjoy the weather here and that I am not bored, honestly now.
Also my brother lives in Austin so I have been plenty of time.

>>4625659
You know that you and I have plans set at SJ, hun.

>>4625718
YES BLUE I LOVE YOU NO HOMO.
>>4625719
It rained today, the weather was nice and breezy and then a mild heat. It was pleasant when I was out smoking my reds. And Just drive outside of the city limits for Fireworks brah.
>>4625733
If you read I said you were implying it. There is a difference between writing something at the forefront of the message, and the subtle undertones of the messages.
>>4625751
Me gusta.

>>4625731
Depends on the area, I guess. The "storm" we had today lasted all of an hour and now it's as dry as it was yesterday.

>>4625756
Cool

>>4625751

I went to Texas once, it was hot but no where near as humid as the swamp I live in. The barbacue was God tier, dem sauces son.

>>4625718
Blue, I love you. Hnnnng. Come and vist Smoker and I.

>>4625800
Derp. On my phone.
Visit*

anyone ever been to/is going to anime overload?

>>4625800
I'm hoping to go to America next year, or the one after and A-Kon is on the list of conventions I'd go to if I have enough money.

Sure is /soc/ in here today...

>>4625806
Went the first year because I live in Austin. Never again. It's the shittiest con I have ever been to.

>>4625787
I envy you that. I visited Dallas once... Got out of the airport and ran right back inside. I felt like I was walking through soup.

>>4625807
Oooohreallynow.

>this thread

>>4625813
Aye, should be fun if I can afford it.
I'm gonna start saving now.

>>4625756
I know that you gusta. Me gusta what our plans are, as well.

>>4625807
Awesome!

>>4625825
If you go, I may have to actually show up in order to bring you a cupcake.
And a striped beater since you had trouble finding one that worked.

>>4625830
I know right!
Me, you and Smoker should hang out and chill and stuff.
Be awesome.

>>4625834
I just couldn't find one in the right colour, sorry Anon.
And anyway, I got to save money from now on.

>>4625811
well shit. thanks for the warning. i'm an austinfag as well. i was hoping for something other than ikkicon. haven't heard great things about that one either.

>>4625838
I'll just have to accept that it's a lost cause. Sigh.

>>4625842
No problem, bro. AO is primarily just a tiny HOT AS HELL con that parents drop off their weeb kids to.
IKKi is pretty shitty now as well, sadly.

>>4625893
hate to ask this, but are there any cons closer to austin that aren't shitty?

>>4625908
>san japan

Possibly planning on moving to Texas from Northern/Central California.
My career path is in that of veterinary care and uhh.. I want to go to some good cons. :/
Hoping to find some place with weather similar to my city's.

Any suggestions on which city would be best?

i go to UT austin and i hate how all the cons are during holidays and stuff. like one's during halloween and the other is new years.. crazy college parties and 6th street > anime conventions :< sorry

>>4625917
tits. okay. thanks.
it surprises me that austin has such shitty cons considering how ~**~diverse~*~*~ and ~*~artsy~*~* we are.

>>4625925
Not Houston.
Not Houston.
Not Houston.

Either Dallas(meh), Austin, San Antonio, or Corpus Christi.

>>4625932
Austin is too busy being *different* and *artsy* to deal with weebs. It also is small compared to other places in texas.

>>4625806
don't go anon...don't go unless you like warehouses in the barrio.

>>4625945
THIS.

>>4625925
>>4625937

I've lived in Austin and Dallas.
I liked living in Austin more, but it is also much more expensive and it's harder to find work there. Dallas (or the DFW area in general) has a lower cost of living, more job opportunities and more to do in general. Houston is going to be similar to Dallas in terms of cost of living and jobs, but their weather is shit so don't go there.

Honestly, if you can find work in the Austin area go for it, but be prepared to live on the outskirts of town if you don't want to pay more than 800 dollars a month in rent. If you want an easier time then head to Dallas.

>>4625925
TXfag who lived in Ca each summer for a while, what part of CA? I was in the bay area, and you'll be hard pressed to find somewhere with weather like that. If you're from the valley, then fuck it, anywhere north is good. The DFW and even Austin areas and surrounding suburbs get my vote. South you get the humidity, and fuck that.

Also, is San Japan good? Thinking of going for the first time this year, if I can scrounge up the money. It'll be right after SDCC basically, and I'll be broke as shit.

>>4625976
San antonio is the same as you describe Dallas, but it has more latino cultura and its kinda Car mandatory how the city is spread out.

>>4625937
How come?
>>4625976
What's so bad about the weather?

Sorry, just trying to get some information before flying hundreds of miles and finding out I hated it as much as I did in Oregon.

>>4625992
>5k people last year
>only been around for 3 years
>nice hotel connected to a mall.
>major Texas city
>Full weekend con

Duh.

>>4625925
Dallas is the best city when it comes to the job market in Texas. Austin is a dirty city, but very Cali-like if you miss your kind of people.

By the way, you picked a good choice. Best state in the U.S.-fucking-awesome-A.

WE GOT BIG BOOTY BITCHES.

>>4625998
Houston is extremely humid, especially in the summer. It's just downright uncomfortable to be outside for like 4 months out of the year there.

I've also personally never liked the city itself. It seems too commercial and sterile, if that makes any sense.

>>4625992
San Japan is probably one of the best cons in Texas right now. If you can afford it go.

>>4625998
Texas is hot.
We have awesome AC, but its hot, each city has a different kind of hot.

SA: Dry heat, unless it rains, which is uncommon.
Austin: Slightly less hot than SA.
Dallas: more north, dry heat most of the time, more regular weather patterns
CC: beach city, humid hot, but lotsa breeze.
Houston: SHITTY SHITY HUMID HOT AND SMELLS BAD ALL YEAR LONG FUCK SHIT THAT PLACE.

>>4626017
Dallas gets humid a lot. Trust me. Outside right now it is humid as hell. Austin gets a good amount of humidity as well.

>>4626024
Dallas's humidity is little to none. Yeah, it's not as dry as San Antonio, but it is not as humid as god-forsaken Houston which always feels like you are swimming around in a swimming pool.

God, fuck Houston weather. Nevaaaaaaar going back there to live.

>>4626031
>>4626024
Eh, sorry, that was just from my personal experiences visiting those places. San Antonio FUCK YEAR DRY HEAT. Its always odd when I think 98degree weather feels good.

>>4626009
Herp, I'm dumb sometimes.
>>4625999
Oooh, just checked the dates. I'll just be getting back from California the 1st of august. I'll have to work some crazy voodoo money magic. And convince my job I need more time off. But DAMNIT I want to go! D:<

Thank you guys for all the information! Its really appreciated!

>>4625992
Born and raised in the Sacramento valley, so I'm content with +98°f weather all day errday. I can't stand the bay-area weather, it reminds me a lot of Portland, OR.
I was leaning more towards looking into the DFW area as it was. Seems pretty nice out there... and uhh.. yeah. Not down for any of that humidity.

>>4626004
>>4626017
Sooo.. definitely look into more of the Austin, DFW or SA areas. Time to start Googling shit.

>>4625807

Blue, if you go to A-kon next year I expect to see manmoetron. You will be able to inherit my Nigerian fortune then. I will give it to you in person. I will give you a hotel room and you will meet me there alone in costume. If you are not alone then I will not respond nor open the door.

>>4626044
Nice dubs.
Austin: arts hub of texas. Compact when it comes to entertainment and having fun. High cost of living
Dallas: Big business hub. Lotsa people in cities that are so close they should be part of Dallas. mid cost of living
San Antonio: Tourism hub? haha, its a very spread out city with a heavy latino party influence. Low cost of living. (dificult to not go into more detail about home town compared to others.)

And when it comes to colleges
Austin
San Antonio
Dallas

In that order.

>>4626068
>>4626074
are we just posting drama whores now?

>>4626082

Smoker, for Dallas it can really depend.

Every city North of Dallas and East of Denton has like a 90k a year median income. The rest of the area is pretty middle class though.

>>4626082
Too many dirty Mexicans down in San Antonio, could never live there.

>>4626110
Wow! They're a Texas nostalgia bomb!

why are we photodumping such old pictures? I don't think a single one is older than 2007...I recognize all of these.

thats a bad thing isn't it?

Just dumping my TX folder. Mostly older cosplays.

Contribute something newer if you want.

>>4626068
Oh Ao, I miss your pretty, crazy ass.

Austin is hippy central in Texas. Went there to visit my brother. Hippies everywhere. A lot of panhandlers too.
