It sure is a lot of fun. There are two major astronomy clubs in San Antonio,
San Antonio League of Sidewalk Astronomers and
San Antonio Astronomical Association. Both have free public outreach events on the calendar, and each have some dark sky sites within a couple hours drive of the city. They also hold events at state parks such as Garner, Hill Country, and Government Canyon.
You are already in a decent zone compared to us! Normally we say about an hour out of the city, and you can find some decent dark skies. This image was taken just west of Fredericksburg.
