Happy Tuesday!

This week's looking HOT. Which means I'm legally obligated to remind you to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and check the sidewalk before taking your pup out for a walk. Seriously. I know it's not even the hottest it's gonna get this summer, but it's time to practice some healthy habits and mindfulness.

Good? Great.

Now let's reward all that responsible behavior with beer:
🍻 Enter to win a pair of tickets to Capital of Craft Beer Fest at Broadway Pier on 9/19, where you'll sample 65+ craft beers, catch live music, and toast to one of San Diego's favorite pastimes.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Before artists were expected to do it all, Todd Rundgren already was. See the singer, songwriter, producer, and Hall of Famer at The Sound on 10/27.

• If moody guitars and razor-sharp lyrics are your thing, Protomartyr belongs on your calendar. Catch them with Accessory at Casbah on 10/20.

• Some artists somehow become the soundtrack to an entire season. Matt Pond PA has been doing that every fall for years. Get close and personal with him at Soda Bar on 10/24.

• + MOREEEEEEE!

WHAT WE’RE LISTENING TO THIS WEEK

Spotify has Discover Weekly. We have... whatever this is.

This week's staff picks are wonderfully unhinged. Save the playlist, hit shuffle, and let our questionable music taste become your problem. Sorry not sorry!

P.S. I sneakily added a song by our manager, Dave, to the playlist if you wanna give it a listen!

IN THE FUTURE

LOCALS ONLY

• Five years, countless tattoos, and one new chapter. Ants Tattoo is moving to a new studio and celebrating with a Buy 2, Get 1 FREE tattoo special through 7/25. Book before appointments fill up.

• Take what you need. Leave what you can. The Free Market returns to Lane Field Park on 7/19, turning community donations into a pop-up shop where everything is free.
