Helloooo y’all 💛

I hope everybody feels at least a little refreshed after the long weekend. And if you didn’t get the extra day off… I respect the grind deeply and hope the universe sends you a random free afternoon sometime soon.

But now we’re backkkkk. New week, too many things happening around San Diego, and somehow we’re already about to roll into June??? Crazy. I will say, though… I think we made it through May pretty solidly this year. Minimal gloom. Pretty decent vibes overall. Let’s all collectively pray that energy sticks around for June.

And since we’re wrapping up the month this week, let’s leave May with something fun:
Lowertown brings the Ugly Duckling Union Tour to Quartyard this Sunday! Last Chance to enter to win tickets.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• If you survived the late 2000s, there’s a very high chance you still know every word to at least one Shwayze song against your will. Catch him with Cappo Kelley and Jahtiva at Music Box on 7/10 for some unserious summer energy.

• RuPaul’s Drag Race Werq The World is stomping into Balboa Theatre in March 2027, and babyyyyy the dolls are bringing charisma, uniqueness, nerve, & talent directly to San Diego.

  There’s no casual way to listen to King Buffalo. At some point you either fully lock in and transcend mentally or you leave. Catch the psych-rock trio at Belly Up on 11/9.

• Festival season is here. Join DoSD MORE for more shows, more reasons to make plans, and a better way into everything coming up - $50 for 12 months.*

• LAST WEEK OF THE MONTH! Check out all the just announced shows before the list is wiped for JUNE!

DOSOCAL STAFF PICKS: WHAT WE’RE LISTENING TO THIS WEEK

The DoSoCal team is back with another round of songs we can’t shut up about lately 🫡

Every Tuesday, we’re adding our current obsessions into the monthly playlist so you can see exactly what’s soundtracking the office, our commutes, shower concerts, etc.

IN THE FUTURE

LOCALS ONLY

• Somebody, please, go adopt a little creature. SD Humane Society is waiving ALL adoption fees on 6/6 for California Adopt-a-Pet Day. The shelters are full, and these babies deserve good homes!

• Your “I’ll fix it eventually” pile is calling. Zero Waste San Diego is hosting a free Fix It Clinic at La Mesa Library on 6/6 where you can learn how to repair broken gadgets, bikes, clothes & more instead of abandoning them emotionally in a drawer somewhere.
