Daily Email - Friday - 10/24/2025

October 24, 2025

You ever hit Friday and realize your body is still emotionally stuck in Monday? Same. But here’s your permission slip to chill the hell out: Press Pause is back at The Soap Factory on 11/16, and we’re handing out free tickets. It’s an entire day of body-mind tune-ups—think breathwork, immersive sound healing, on-site bodywork, and workshops that don’t suck. Oh, and everything you buy fuels mental health programs for artists in underserved SD communities. Enter to win!

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • It’s not every day a world champion turntablist rolls into town… but A-Trak isn’t most DJs. On 11/21, Bloom becomes the playground for one of the most respected mixers alive.

  • From opening for 1D to building an arena empire of their own, 5 Seconds of Summer hits Viejas on 7/9 and presale is your golden ticket. These Aussies don’t miss live, and neither should you.

  • Here’s Johnny… on the big screen at the Coronado Island Film Fest. On 11/29, Kubrick’s The Shining takes over one of the city’s most scenic spots.

  • Monster Rally doesn’t play shows. He builds little worlds. On 1/23, Casbah becomes a tiki lounge from another dimension.

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Pinback, Fuzz, Lavender Flu, Atmosphere, and more!

TONIGHT

🖤 Emo vs. Pop-Punk: Myspace Music Video Party

Tonight @ The Holding Company (9PM)

Remember your Top 8? Time to battle it out in real life. The Emo vs. Pop-Punk Myspace Music Video Party is throwing it back to side bangs, studded belts, and scream-alongs – with full music videos on the big screen. Costumes? Mandatory.

🍸 Impractical Mixology Class: A Cozy Cocktail Class for Autumn

Tonight @ The Mixer (6PM)

Step into your cozy-witch era with this Impractical Mixology Class, where every cocktail has a spell, a story, and a heavy pour. Whether you’re channeling Sally Owens or just want to stir something moodier than a PSL, this is your night.

🍬 Trunk or Treat on Seacoast

Tonight @ Imperial Beach (5PM)

Trunk or Treat on Seacoast is back and your kid’s costume better be ready. This community night is sugar-soaked and spooky as hell (in a family-friendly way).

🔥 Rocket From the Crypt, Superchunk

Tonight @ House of Blues (7PM)

This isn’t a gig, it’s a double-header from two of the most revered bands in alt history. Rocket From the Crypt and Superchunk are a live music dream you probably didn’t realize you needed. Until now.

🐠 Halloween Aglow

Tonight @ Birch Aquarium (6PM)

At Halloween Aglow, the aquarium becomes a glowing wonderland after dark. Think underwater pumpkin carving, trick-or-treating through coral tunnels, and spooky games that make science feel like magic.

LOCALS ONLY

  • While everyone else is scrolling Etsy in bed, you could be at Kobey’s, holding an actual lava lamp in your actual hand. Hundreds of vendors, thousands of finds, one perfect day to say “yes” to an ashtray shaped like a crab.

  • This Sunday is National Pumpkin Day, and your caffeine intake just got festive. Bird Rock Coffee is cutting Spiced Pumpkin Lattes in half!
