LONESOME ROSE (21+) | ARMADILLO ROAD | Oct. 4
If you’re looking for a change of pace from your regular standing-only music venues, this might be the show for you. Take a stroll down St. Mary’s Street to Lonesome Rose, the oldest honky-tonk on the strip, for a night of singers performing country tunes under the stars. Enjoy anything from a crafted cocktail to a can of Coors while Armadillo Road, a band out of Austin, Texas, sings to the crowd under the bar’s trademark neon red lights. Kick back, relax and enjoy a night away from the chaos of parties. This is for all of you who enjoy a weekend of cold drinks and slow dances.Armadillo Road • Saturday, Oct. 4 at 9 p.m. • $5 • Lonesome Rose • 2106 N St. Mary’s Street

BLUE STAR ARTS COMPLEX | FIRST FRIDAYS | Oct. 3

Calling all painters and fall-art market lovers! Spend your Friday night at Blue Star, a complex nestled in a corner of Southtown right across from the riverwalk. Listen to live music, grab a drink and peruse the art galleries that sprawl from the basement and climb the metal stairs to the top apartments. Plus, Blue Star hosts Halcyon Southtown, a late-night coffee bar, and Stella Public House, a local pizza shop with rotating beers on tap. Explore every nook and cranny to find local art shows, food vendors, weekend festivals, performances and more! This time around, there is a drag variety show from 9–10 p.m. and several pop-up shops from San Antonio creatives. You never know what you might find!

ON CAMPUS OFFERING | ANAND PANDAN DISCUSSION | Oct. 8

Supporting visiting professors has never been more in style. Join Academic Affairs and the rest of campus for a conversation with Anand Pandan, professor of anthropology at Johns Hopkins University, part of The Conversation at Trinity. If you’re a geoscience or planetary science enthusiast at Trinity, these are definitely your new weeknight plans. Pandan serves as a curator of the Ecological Design Collective, a community for radical ecological imagination and collaboration, and is currently working on a book about how to craft an ecological future. Come learn how to further your career, or, if you’re not sure where to start, come to learn something new about the world you live in.

About the Contributors

Devon Bellamy, Fall Pulse Editor

Hey! My name is Devon Bellamy (they/them), and I am the Fall pulse editor for the Trinitonian. I am a senior majoring in English with a double minor in math and creative writing. I like to stay busy throughout the semester, so I’m also working as a Phonathon supervisor, one of the creative writing interns and an admissions paid volunteer. This year, I’m very excited to apply for MFA programs around the country, but I think I’m just a little bit more excited to drink a pint of draft Guiness again when I study abroad next semester in Belfast.

Pipp Phichairatanaphong, Illustrator

Hey y’all, my name is Pipp Phichairatanaphong (she/they) and this semester I am very excited to be an illustrator for the Trinitonian. I’m a senior international student from Bangkok, Thailand, majoring in Political Science and minoring in Sociology. You may also see me around campus performing in the Loon-E Dance Team or as President of the Filipino Student Association (FSA). My best Trinity experience has been getting to spend my spring 2025 semester in Japan with Rikkyo University (I wished I was still there).
