HAPPY THURSDAY, Y’ALL!!!

I’m proud to announce that I made it through my neighborhood’s street sweeping days WITHOUT GETTING A TICKET. A miracle at this point.

Also, has this been the longest week ever??? I guess you gotta work for that three-day weekend.

Today I’m getting you ready to make the most of the extra day, even though the weather is looking a little funky. But considering I literally sat here yesterday asking for gloom, I will be keeping my mouth SHUT.

So let’s ease into the weekend!!!

…Actually, never mind. Let’s talk about October first. Lmao, I’m all over the place today.

La Mesa Oktoberfest takes over La Mesa Village 10/2–10/4 with three biergartens, brats + schnitzel, local vendors, a pumpkin patch and, most importantly, a whole village of dachshunds.

Admission is free, BUT I’ve got a pair of Hofbräuhaus Biergarten VIP Passes for one of you! That gets you two 16oz biers each, access to all three biergartens + your own VIP entrance and bar. Enter to win.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Proper NYE finally dropped the lineup, and ohhhh they were sitting on a good one. Beltran, Cloonee, Chris Lorenzo, KETTAMA + a shit ton more take over Petco Park for New Year’s Eve.

• I opened JSTJR’s catalog to do some research and was immediately greeted by a song called “TITS.” Journalism!!! Anyway, he’s coming to SOMA on 11/14.

• I love a little unnecessary secrecy. Foghorn hits Corazon del Barrio on 11/8 with Mugger, Killing Capacity, Madrugado, Primeval + one mystery band we apparently already love.

• Night Ranger takes over Viejas Casino on 9/12! I’ve got a pair of tickets up for grabs, plus code DOSD50 gets you 50% off. Everybody wins!*

• + MORE just announced shows where those came from!

YOUR LONG WEEKEND GAME PLAN

Okay, let’s get back on track!!! Labor Day weekend is on the brain, so I loaded up my guide with events + other fun ideas for however you wanna spend it. Go make some plans! Or don’t, no judgment here!

And if you’re working this weekend: I SEE YOU. ❤️ San Diego quite literally would not be able to have its fun without you. You’re appreciated!!!

MORE STUFF TO DO THIS WEEKEND

LOCALS ONLY

• Speaking of pizza AND this weekend... Pierce the Veil x Prince Street Pizza made a San Diego-only pie called La Chona. Buy a slice through 9/13, and you could win tickets to their SOLD-OUT Petco Park show.

• Okay, here’s a potentially irresponsible weekend idea: $100 tattoos. Flying Panther is celebrating its new Seaside location with a flash event 9/4–9/6. Walk in or snag an appointment!
