If you are a basketball fan, you
won’t want to miss a trip to “Spurs Nation” to
watch the San Antonio Spurs host the Detroit
Pistons at San Antonio’s AT&T Center. The
Spurs stats include four NBAChampionships,
five Conference titles and 19 Division titles. They havemade the
playoffs in 23 of the last 24 seasons. What an impressive record!
On our way to the game, we will stop at Luby’s Cafeteria.
Since dinner is “on your own” you can spend or eat as much
or as little as you like. This cafeteria-style restaurant offers a
wide variety of delicious menu choices, and you will probably
want to save room for one of their yummy, mouth-watering
desserts. After dinner, we continue to the AT&T Center, home
of the San Antonio Spurs, in time for “tip-off.”
Note: The arena has sport-style stadium seating and
there will be steps to maneuver.

The Chieftains at Riverbend Centre
Wednesday, February 26, $92 pp
Depart SCPL 6:30 p.m.; Return 10:30 p.m.
Celtic music fans – this one is for
you! The Chieftains is a traditional Irish band
formed in Dublin in 1962 by Paddy Moloney,
Sean Potts and Michael Tubridy. First re-
hearsals were held at Moloney’s house with
Tubridy, Martin Fay and David Fallon. Their sound, which is
almost entirely instrumental and largely built around uilleann
pipes, has become synonymous with traditional Irishmusic, and
they helped popularize Irish music around the world.
The group continued to release successful records throughout
the 1970s and 1980s, and their work resulted in the critically
acclaimed album
Irish Heartbeat
. They have collaborated with
many other well-known musicians and singers including Pa-
