Hiiii friends!

I'm happy to report today is going significantly better than yesterday. No parking tickets (yet), and I accidentally found out I just hit my 100th class at my favorite Pilates studio. I wasn't counting, but apparently they were, and they surprised me with a sweatshirt. 🥹

So, quick unsolicited recommendation: if you've been thinking about trying Pilates or just need a new studio, I can't say enough good things about Honor Pilates. They've got a few locations around San Diego, and the people there are the best.

Speaking of little surprises... let's keep the good luck going.
The Black Keys are playing one of their most intimate Chicago shows in years at The Vic Theatre on 7/15, and we're flying someone out to see it. Enter to win tickets, a flight credit, and a free hotel stay.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• D.R.I. has been making necks sore since the '80s. Stretch before you catch them at Soda Bar on 10/3.

• If dancing behind the DJ booth were an Olympic sport, Mochakk would probably medal. He's headed to Petco Park on 9/24. It’s gonna be a party, and I fully plan to be there.

• Few bands can jump from delicate ballads to absolute rock anthems as effortlessly as Nothing But Thieves. Experience the chaos at SOMA on 4/6.
