Taco Time in San Antonio

Posted by Julie Tyler on 3/28/2021, 2:52 pm

Retired band director here, writing a murder mystery that takes place at the convention center. It's been 7 years since I have attended TMEA and TBA and I am having a senior moment.

Which convention did the announcer announce the closing of the exhibits as, "It's Taco Time in San Antonio." And who was the announcer? He had been the announcer for conventions as long as I had been attending conventions and I started back in 85.

Thanks.

No, but that is when the exhibits closed mid-day at TBA for the lunch hour and and as others have said it was Sgt. Rodriguez that announced "It's taco time...".

TMEA does not close the exhibits for the lunch hour, only TBA did. Don't recall that announcement at the end of the day, only for the lunch hour, "Taco time..".

If you stay all the way to the end of the convention hall time, you'll hear the same spiel every year. "It's taco time in San Antonio!" Then the whole bit about how when they unrolled the carpets this year, they found one of the exhibitors from last year, so make sure you stay out of the aisles. It was pretty funny the first time, but 20 years later...
