WE MADE IT TO THURSDAYYYYYY!!!
Personally, I think making it this far into the week should unlock some kind of achievement. Free snack. Tiny trophy. Permission to stop answering emails after 2PM. Something.
Instead, we apparently just get another workday. Sick system.
So I’m coping by looking ahead: R&B Block Party is bringing its Hip Hop Holiday Party to Quartyard on 11/21. Enter to win tickets… DUH!
Which sounds considerably better than whatever I’m doing right now, so I have decided that is enough motivation to carry me through Friday.
JUST ANNOUNCED
There are feelings you process in therapy, and feelings you apparently process in a packed Casbah with Grieves. The latter option becomes available on 3/7.
Beach Bunny songs have a funny habit of sounding sunny enough to dance to while the lyrics quietly ruin your afternoon. The Out of Office Tour hits The Observatory on 3/10.
Earplugs are an act of self-love, and this lineup is your reminder. Capstan, Fire From the Gods + Midwinter take over House of Blues on 2/23.
You know when your funniest friend starts telling a story, and five minutes later nobody remembers how the hell you got here? Chris Fleming has made an entire career out of that feeling. See him at Balboa Theatre on 11/19.*
GO PLAY: TIDE POOLS, LOW TIDE TIMES, & MORE!

The ocean has been doing that thing where it backs up suspiciously far and suddenly there’s a whole extra beach to investigate. I pulled together San Diego’s low-tide times + the best places to poke around, respectfully… of course!
Your inner child needs this!

HELP ELVIS FIND A HOME
Meet Elvis 💙 We cannot promise Elvis will sing, but he does know “sit” and “paw,” loves playing catch + enjoys a good car ride, which feels close enough. This sweet 7-year-old is looking for a patient home where he can settle in and show off. |  ID #: 816136 |
THE HOLDING COMPANY: WHERE THE MUSIC LOVERS GO

The Holding Company might be one of the better examples of Ocean Beach doing exactly what Ocean Beach does best: good music, no unnecessary seriousness + a rooftop waiting upstairs when you need air.
The first floor keeps a genuinely busy live calendar, with local acts, touring artists, tribute shows + genre jumps that somehow all make sense in that room.
So yes, this is me telling you to go look at what they’ve got booked.*
LOCALS ONLY
MTS fares went up, but not everybody has to eat the full increase. PRONTO LIFE keeps lower fares for eligible CalFresh, Medi-Cal + CalWORKs riders.
Today in things I did not know the library would loan me: seeds. 😂 San Diego Public Library has free seed libraries around town for flowers, herbs + veggies, and several don’t even require a library card. Find your nearest seed library!
One of North Park’s oldest restaurant spaces is getting another life: Chop Suey Lounge is taking over the former Peking Restaurant, preserving pieces of its 1931 history while adding food, cocktails + live jazz. See the plans!

Should Friday the 13th be a lucky or unlucky day? I’m getting mixed reviews, but I think I’m going to go with LUCKY!
Have a fabulous weekend, friends! I’ll chat with you on Monday!!!
