PodCamp San Antonio: Numero Dos

In one month, May 3rd to be exact Pod­Camp San Anto­nio: Numero Dos will be in full swing. The Pod­Camp fes­tiv­i­ties will begin on Fri­day, May 2nd. We’ll be hang­ing out on Red Gizmo’s patio inside the Blue Star Arts Com­plex. Come on down and enjoy the art, music, food plus some of Blue Star Brewery’s tasty brew. I’m really look­ing for­ward to reliv­ing some of last years expe­ri­ence, but this time with an artsy vibe.

First Fri­day is one of the events we always make an effort to take friends and fam­ily when they visit San Anto­nio. Every­one always has a good time. For me this will be even bet­ter because I’ll get to com­bine sev­eral things I like into one fan­tas­tic night: Art, Brew, Fun and doing it all with my Pod­cast­ing Buds.

Although, we’re going to have a great time Fri­day night, the real fun starts on Sat­ur­day morn­ing. We’ll kick­off Pod­Camp San Anto­nio: Numero Dos at 9:00am in the El Habana room at the El Trop­i­cano Hotel. There were sev­eral places we could have cho­sen to be our Pod­Camp loca­tion, but one thing I like doing is show­cas­ing and high­light­ing dif­fer­ent aspects to the Alamo City. There is an amaz­ing and rich cul­ture in San Anto­nio. One that goes beyond the River­walk and the Alamo.

The El Trop­i­cano Hotel is on the North­ern end of the River­walk. Which is exactly where the Expan­sion Phase (ie. con­struc­tion) is tak­ing place. For a moment I won­dered if we should hold Pod­Camp here, but that thought quickly dis­ap­peared once I walked into the hotel. 1960 Aca­pulco Retro describes it per­fectly. You feel trans­ported back in time as you walk around the lobby of the hotel. The decor looks right out of a movie set. The latin music in the back­ground helps to bring the scene full cir­cle. El Habana shares a wall with the trop­i­cal birds and igua­nas in the hotel’s aviary. How cool is that? This hotel offers a one of a kind expe­ri­ence that’s for sure. If we wanted to show­case some­thing unique about San Anto­nio, I knew we had found it El Trop­i­cano. We’ll wrap up the ses­sion by 5:00pm and make our way down to relax along the River­walk. We had such a good time last year at the Naked Iguana we may just wind up there again.

For those not ready to end the Pod­Camp fun, we’ll meet at Cafe Latino to enjoy some tasty brew out on the patio. Gary Ard has done a fan­tas­tic job cre­at­ing the per­fect place to relax and enjoy a deli­cious cup of cof­fee. The patio comes com­plete with 3 Hookah Tents for folks wish­ing to par­take in this Turk­ish cus­tom. Jackie and I will record the Morn­ing Brew­Cast LIVE!  It’s sure to be a good time for all.

I look for­ward to see­ing every­one next month for Pod­Camp San Anto­nio: Numero Dos.
