A Fun Place in San Antonio
By Archives on Aug 25, 2008 in Education
Recently I took an information technology security training course that would teach me how to pass the CISSP exam. The CISSP is the Certified Information Systems Security Professional certification, but I guess that is kind of irrelevant to this story. Anyway, the course was held in San Antonio Texas, and I have to say that I had an absolute blast down on their historic Riverwalk. That is where I spent pretty much all of my time when I wasn’t in class learning about IT security.
One evening I went to the wildest restaurants that I have ever been to. The place was right there on the riverwalk, and it was called Dick’s Last Resort. The concept of this place is that the servers and staff give you a healthy dose of abuse while you are there. They are not outright mean to you, but definitely sarcastic and somewhat mean spirited.
While I was chowing down on a very messy sandwich, I asked our waiter if I could get a few extra napkins. He obliged me by grabbing a great big stack of napkins and throwing the whole stack up in the air over our table. You would think I would have learned, but when he brought me another cocktail, I asked for a straw. I should have seen this coming when he reached in his apron and tossed a handful of straws at me. That was a really fun place, and you can bet I’ll be back next time I am there.
