Sea World San Antonio has a new Shamu.
Look out Shamu, you've got competition!  Sea World San Antonio announced the birth of a new killer whale calf by Takara, an 18 year old Orca.  My wife can't get enough of Sea World (map), but I have yet to visit (for some reason, I've been out of town every time we've had visitors that she went there with), but with an announcement like this, I feel a certain pride in San Antonio and the Sea World staff.  Breeding any large animal in captivity is typically not … (9 comments)

Want to see more of San Antonio?
Whether you're looking for something to do in San Antonio, to learn a bit about real estate, a new local neighborhood to explore, or a home to buy; the RErockstar YouTube Channel has something for everyone.  As we move into 2010, I plan on using more and more local San Antonio video to provide my readers with more information.  Everyone loves to be able to see what they're reading about and although a picture is still worth a thousand words, video can often give you an even better look.

things to do: The Wurst Night Of My Life - Wurstfest 2009. - 11/08/09 11:20 PM

My friend Luke hanging out with "Das Schnitzel" at Wurstfest 2009.
No, I didn't fly to Germany this weekend.
I've spent a lot of time in Germany in the course of my life.  I was there before the Wall came down and have spent months at a time roaming from town to town while I was still a musician.  I actually had designs on being a German teacher at one point in my life.  I still speak and understand some of the language - enough to get me where I need to go.
I have a certain love for all … (8 comments)

In ain't Hockey Night In Canada, but its still a great time.
San Antonio has lots of things to do and one of my favorites is the San Antonio Rampage.  Even if you don't like hockey or have never been to a hockey game, its well worth considering.  As an AHL (American Hockey League) team these guys are one step away from the big leagues.  Think of them as the "farm team" for the NHL (National Hockey League) - this is where guys go to build their skills and learn the ropes of … (13 comments)

things to do: When you've got a quiet, empty open house, what do you do? - 11/09/08 11:50 AM
Today I did an open house at my favorite house in San Antonio.  I've been to this particular house for three straight weekends.  I am addicted to open houses here.  Not only is the house absolutley gorgeous, I also love the community (KB Home Woods Of Alon) and the idea behind it.  I want to live there (I just need to sell a couple of those houses there first I think!).
Every weekend has been busy, busy, busy.
Typically I get anywhere from 5-8 groups a day (between noon and 3PM).  Its always just steady enough that I am always busy.  … (8 comments)

things to do: Mission Trail in San Antonio, Texas - A great way to spend the day - 11/08/08 12:42 AM
My wife and I aren't huge history buffs and aren't even the best tourists in the world (we quickly get bored looking at monuments and reading placards), but we do try to travel as much as possible and do touristy things.  Since my wife is English, we have much to discover and see in America (I've seen most of it, having been to 49 states, just have Alaska left to cross off my list) and we both have a love for Europe (her because of her time spent growing up in England and me because of my travels there).  When we … (5 comments)
