Austin is much better suited to y'all's Pacific Northwest sensibilities. Trust me.
As far as the heat, that's a bit trickier, but keep in mind, it doesn't get cold cold here, which makes it a great place for a winter event. Avoid the snowpacalypse and relax in mild winter weather.
Of course you have to worry about random Dire Cactus attacks though...

DFW is a beast of an airport, you really do have to run sometimes to make your connection or you have to sit for 3 hours just waiting for them to clean the plane off. True story on the 3 hours. We had to wait for the plane to be clean and sterilized. They never told us why either. Needless to say I moved my flight to a later time.

SAFE! Finally, about 24 hours later, James, Sutter, Sean, Sarah, and I are home safe and sound. Our adventure ended with a dazed taxi ride to my place, then my merciful roomie driving Sean and Sutter home. Now I'm back, checking out my swag and excited to take a shower with water that doesn't feel dusty. The take this year was relatively small, but I've got a comic of the PS3's upcoming Dante's Inferno game to go through (this game was MADE for me), Erik De Bie's book Downshadow to skim, and some Felties to dole out to friends. Thanks to everyone who wished us well on all our trials and tribulations. I know I'll be posting some pictures from the show and our post show adventures on my Facebook if any of you all wanta check it out. And now, my jammies and sweet solitude beckon! Aaaaaaaahhh.

Boo-hoo. Suck it up, temperate babies. I've been roasting most of my life here. And if you think Austin is any significant degree cooler, then Daigle's a better BSer than I ever realized. The hats and the temperature are going no where, and I shudder to think what you guys were up to in the airport. (You may find that certain behaviors are generally frowned on in all airports.) Still, you learn to find the good with the bad.
PS Glad all of you made it back and in one piece...still kind of disappointed we didn't get more postings of your bizarre adventures, but I'm told deriving pleasure from others' misfortunes is wrong, so it's all for the best.

But...I thought you were into this infernal stuff! Is the author of Book of the Damned really afraid to click a link called kill puppies for satan? [1]
This is like finding out Santa Claus crashed in the Rockies back in '57 and a band of stranded water polo players cooked the body and ate it, but prepared it improperly and thus turned his delicious man meat into liver. They tried to eat the reindeer after, but all search and rescue found were their shattered, naked bodies. [2]
[1] Also it is a real game. Click it. You know you want to. :)
[2] Inspired by a sort-of-true story. Link is real world creepy but non-gross. Promise.

DFW, LAX and ATL are all "of the Wrym" and should be cleansed for the love of Gaia
You need to add MIA to that list. It's like LAX, but dirtier, and with more humidity. LGW / Gatwick should be included in the supplement, "Air Rage Across the Pond".
Also, regarding Texas, I've been asked to pass on the following:
"Thanks for the NBAF! Your basketball teams and bbq are still terrible.
XXOO, Kansas".

Yeah! Yeah? You guys think YOU had it bad!? Well... well, I grew up on the Sun! You'll be wishing you were freezing your butts off in the molten core of the Earth when those and the 100-year carbon hurricanes start and liquid iron starts raining down in sheets! Phew-Howdy! :P
Well I just want to say that I just gave birth to seven baby cows today sooo, I have the bathroom in my apartment that has the ocean in it and I practice swimming in it because I already qualified for the next Olympics sooo I'm in Italy right now... and I am made of gingerbread soo... and when I was born I was a cartoon and I can turn invisible soo...

And West Texas is the armpit of hell...literally.
Take it from a resident.
Moving my boyfriend out of Odessa tomorrow. He's coming to live with me in New Jersey, frequently called the armpit of America =p
NJ rox though, best state in the country followed closely by Arizona and then Washington State.

I can't believe we didn't even get a "THOSE AREN'T PILLOWS!" scenario out of this.
Tell me you guys at least learned a heartwarming life lesson about reaching out to others on your way home.

If you want to truly taste the flavor of the southwest, come to New Mexico. Aint no better mexican food than here. And the chili's are hot enough to put Paizo into orbit.
Arinsen, as a native to the 'Burque, I accept your chile challenge! Between myself and Pierce Watters, I don't think you'll even get the office off the ground. =)
Boo-hoo. Suck it up, temperate babies. I've been roasting most of my life here.
Mairkurion, there's a reason I don't live in Albuquerque anymore. It's because the weather in the Southwest is TERRIBLE. I love my 65 degree June/July/August days.

LoL, I will remember to patch the chile when I head that way for Paizocon next year. Speaking of which, when do pre-regs begin?
EDIT: I think I need sleep, everything is a patch today.

Hey yeah, never mind that you weighed, what, 5,000 lbs there? That is some extreme conditions if ever there were any!

Alpine!? How do you game?
[exaggeration]There's only like 60 people within a hundred miles.[/exagerration]
I don't. I spend a lot of time solitairing my board wargames. I'm only recently returning to the RPG fold and hope to spend a lot of time writing as I become more familiar with the 3.0/3.5 and Pathfinder games.
The nearest gamers I have found are in the Odessa/Midland area. 3 hour drive for me. Most of them are CCG players as near as I can tell. I have found a miniatures club based in Big Spring that meets in Midland on occasion.

Chris... Cleric of Asmodeus, that is. When I mentioned my dissatisfaction with the bright yellow Osirion shirt (Yellow is my fave color, but a bright yellow shirt on a big guy...er,no. Besides, my hair is bright blue, it'll stain it like mad), he suggested that I switch to Cheliax...with an innocent grin. This happened more than once.

Sean and one other Paizo-Peep both commented on his Diabolic attempts at winning Souls...

I have no idea what you're talking about. I have nothing to do with those devil worshipers!
And who said anything about *attempting*?

Armpit huh? Then I guess that makes East Texas the Asscrack of Hell, since is so damned humid here with thick bushy growth.
God, that was terrible. I'm so sorry, but I can't express it any other way.
If you can't say anything nice...
