Hey team,

Reporting live from post-camping bliss, where my phone was dead, my brain was quiet, and somehow now it’s now 4/20 and my birthday week. Timing? Elite. You should absolutely log off and go stare at a tree.

Anyway… back to the grind. Let’s make it less painful: win tickets to Floetry at Sycuan (5/13) plus a hotel stay. Silk vocals, comfy bed, no commute. That’s how you do reality.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• MCASD is throwing a party where you’re encouraged to overdress, linger too long in exhibits, and maybe forget you’re in a museum at all. Avant Garde Ball on 5/2 stacks DJs, performances, open bar, and more to keep you wandering all night.*

• Fit Social’s getting a proper workout on 7/27. Walker & Royce bring the kind of set that’s very hard to walk away from once you’re in it. Pace yourself… or don’t.

• Somewhere between alt-country, indie rock, and whatever else he feels like doing, Aaron Lee Tasjan lands at Casbah on 9/30. Grab your tickets!

• If disappearing into the desert with good music and better people sounds appealing right now, this is your move. Win 4-day passes + car camping to Joshua Tree Music Festival on 5/14–5/17 and make it happen.*

• Plus other just announced shows from LeAnn Rimes, Sincere Engineer, Temples, Brett Dennen, and more!

THIS WEEK

Spring into a New Language with 60% Off

You already know the best experiences aren't just the ones you attend — they're the ones you actually connect with. Imagine navigating a new city like a local, ordering off-menu, and actually understanding the conversation happening at the table next to you. With Babbel, bite-sized lessons, bingeable podcasts, and real conversation practice, it's easy to pick up a new language in just 10 minutes a day. No classroom vibes, no homework — just skills that show up when it matters. You could be speaking out loud in as little as 3 weeks. This Spring, get 60% off a Lifetime subscription — access to all 14 languages in the app, forever. Because the best nights out sound even better in another language.*

LOCALS ONLY

• After almost a decade of permits, funding issues, and “coming soon,” the Ruffin Canyon trail is officially open. It connects Serra Mesa to Mission Valley and gives you a new excuse to get outside (like I don’t already give you excuses daily).

• Friendly nudge: those California inflation relief debit cards from a couple years ago? They expire April 30. If there’s still money on yours, don’t let it go to waste.
