Being from a place that shares a good bit of cultural identity with Texas, I would have to agree that it is one cool place! I was visiting San Antonio last summer for my fraternity's Grand Convention, and it was so much fun! Too bad that they said the week I was there was the hottest in like twenty years
From an outsiders perspective, I think Texans, like Montanans, cherish their "wild" and "different" personalities and culture. And that's why us from the Big Sky state are kind off pissed sometimes when rich folk from California bust in and yuppify the last best place.
No offense intended to any californians!
