I will be in town Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. What's going down? Anything special or anything out of the ordinary?
It is my mom's birthday on Friday too, any recommendations?
Any sporting events or concerts for me Saturday or Sunday?

Any recommendations on what to do or where to visit would be appreciated.

Scotti G, also known as Scott G. Cunningham, is unveiling a new photographic series, "San Antonio by Night," at El Sol Studios during a laid-back First Friday in Southtown.

Considering himself old school in his use of film, Scotti G takes a romantic view of the city, including soft-focus shots of the River Walk.

Other First Friday events:

John Mata has new works called "Fundamentalism Begins with the Right Accessory" opening in Gallery 4 at the Blue Star Contemporary Art Center.

Emerging artist Jonathan Cowan is making his debut at the Cactus Bra Space. Works by Oscar Garcia, Tanya Kulhanek, Tracy Durland and Dani Dickson are at the Jewelry Box Art Gallery.

New digital images by Ned Meneses go on view at Artereyes Contemporary Art.

Xavier Garza, David Mercado, Carolina Flores and Albert Ramirez are among the artists in "Chulas y Cholos" at Casa Margarita Gallery.

Joan Grona is having a reception for Suzanne Paquette, Tom Hollenback, Derrick Durham, Eduardo Rodriguez and Tom Willome.

I take it you've never been to SA. Too busy talking up those 37 year old guys pretending to be 14 year old girls on AOL chat. Huh?

I was thinking of going there this weekend too.

This was where all the action was this afternoon. I really feel sorry for all of you who missed it.

What exactly is first friday?

What exactly is first friday?

First Friday (http://sanantonio.citysearch.com/feature/11632)

What could be better than wall-to-wall art, with plenty of live music and good vibes on the side? Thank goodness for First Friday—San Antonio's own monthly art walk, filling Southtown-area galleries with fresh art and the streets with patrons and perusers. Most openings fall within the 6pm-10pm range, and most galleries are located within walking distance of South Alamo, between Durango and Probandt streets. Art lovers are invited to wander from art space to art space along the trail, rubbing elbows with local bands and artisans selling jewelry on the curb. And the best part? It's FREE.

First Friday began as an art walk. Now it is more of a block party/meet market/art party/an excuse to have a good time. I've had fun everytime I've gone down there. Sometimes we hit the galleries, sometimes we hit Blue Star for some awesome beer. And well, sometimes we just eat good food.

It is pretty awesome. Jess and I will be there tomorrow.
