Not to be dramatic, but the sun setting before I’ve even decided what’s for dinner feels personally disrespectful. Likeeee ok, 4:30PM, everybody inside. Fun’s over. See you tomorrow.

Thankfully, the weekend did its job. I danced, I beached, I spent a medically necessary amount of time horizontal on my couch. You know, the holy trinity.

And now this week has arrived with a specific little calendar situation: we’re starting on a fresh new moon, 11/11 lands Wednesday + Friday the 13th is waiting at the other end.

I don’t know what any of that means, but I have decided it means we’re feeling lucky.

Which feels like an excellent time to test that theory: Alice Cooper brings the Alice’s Attic Tour to Cal Coast 11/17, and I’ve got a pair of tickets for one of you.

A little rock, a little theatrical darkness, a little free-ticket manifestation.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• If your Thanksgiving Eve tradition is “go out and make tomorrow slightly harder,” excellent news. Miles Medina + Bella Fiasco are taking over Lou Lou’s Jungle Room on 11/25, and it’s free.

• Cloud Nothings wanted out of the indie-rock box, so naturally they made a record with metal riffs, screaming + general rage at the world. Catch the results at Soda Bar on 3/2.

• Rooted may be the album title, but Midnight Generation continues to make music specifically designed to get you off your ass. Their tour hits The Observatory on 5/22.

• It's tiiime... The DoMORE Holiday Sale is here: a pair of tickets every month to the best stuff in San Diego for a full year, matched to whatever they're into. Give DoMORE.*

LOCAL NEWS AND JOBS THAT ARE HIRING

You came here for fun plans, but occasionally I also provide civic awareness + employment opportunities. Extremely well-rounded newsletter behavior, if you ask me.

THIS WEEK

LOCALS ONLY

• Another website FYI: Before you hitch up the wagon, open the venue page on DoSD: parking, transit, door times, and accessibility are all sitting right there. The only thing left to figure out is why you own a wagon. GTFO easier!

• For Veterans Day week, Plunge San Diego is opening its doors free to veterans from 11/11–11/14. Family members can join too and use the regular military discount. Get the info!

• Apparently November’s cover charge at Moonshine Flats is $0. They’re doing free entry all month, with bands, DJs, line dancing + whatever decisions usually follow those things. See No Cover November!

• If you grew up doing laps around Skateworld, this one’s worth watching. The city is exploring whether housing could eventually share the site, while neighbors are asking to be involved from the jump. See what’s being discussed!
