Daily Email - Monday - 10/5/2026

Anyone else actually boil to death this weekend??? Because renting in San Diego without AC is apparently an extreme sport.

Every summer I’m usually the person squeezing out every last beach day like NOOOO DON’T LEAVE ME YET!!! But this fake fall? She’s squeezing every last drop out of ME. I am ready to stop sleeping directly in front of a fan.

Anyway, aside from locating the nearest air-conditioned building, I hope you had a beautiful weekend!!!

And since the weather refuses to give us fall, we’re going to have to manufacture it ourselves.

Scream Diego returns 10/17 at DoubleTree Mission Valley for a full day of Halloween + horror nonsense, spooky vendors, artists, panels, indie horror films, costume contests + a kids’ zone. This year’s theme? ZOMBIES ZOMBIES ZOMBIES!!! Enter to win!

If October won’t cool down, at least it can get weird.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • “Call Me Maybe” was the beginning, but Carly Rae Jepsen became a full-on pop nerd’s pop star. Her new Day and Night era lands 4/23 at Petco Park.

  • Chelsea Cutler described making her fourth album as building a plane in midair. Sounds stressful! Luckily, we just get the songs. See her 3/5 at The Observatory.

  • Michelle Wolf has gone from The Daily Show + Late Night to Netflix specials and worldwide stand-up. Her Best Job in the World Tour lands 3/25 at The Magnolia.

  • Yes, the woman behind “Foundations” also starred in GLOW and now has an Irish-punk record on the way. Kate Nash plays 11/16 at Music Box.

  • MORE just announced shows in the full list!
