AYYYYEEEEE PADRES!!!!! 😭⚾️

These men apparently have nine lives, which is beautiful for them because I’m pretty sure they’ve taken at least six years off mine. BUT FUCK IT WE BALL!!! Another day is another day, so everybody bring the same deranged energy tonight. I don’t make the rules.

And you know what? Today is already feeling suspiciously blessed. Padres W. It’s finally cooling off a SMIDGE. I parked on the wrong side for street sweeping this morning and somehow escaped without a ticket.

WE ARE UP, FOLKS. DO NOT QUESTION IT.

So naturally, I’d like to extend today’s winning streak to one of you.

Sammy Virji hits Petco Park 10/17, and I’ve got a pair of tickets to give away!!! I have somehow still never seen Mr. Virji live, so Daniella + I will be there holding down the dancefloor and, frankly, I think you should join us. Enter to win!

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Nearly five decades into making Orange County punk, The Vandals are still finding reasons to make the holidays louder and significantly less respectable. See them on 12/18 at The Observatory.

• Watching Dancing with the Stars from your couch is one thing. Seeing the lifts, spins, and frighteningly perfect posture happen ten feet away is another. San Diego gets the LIVE show on 3/31 at Viejas Arena.

• For anyone who prefers their December soundtrack to feel more island sunset than North Pole, Anuhea’s All Is Bright Tour lands 12/6 at Music Box.

• Cirque du Soleil decided regular acrobatics weren’t difficult enough, so LUZIA added an actual rainstorm under the Big Top. Completely reasonable!!! It runs 2/3 to 3/7 at Del Mar Fairgrounds. Join the presale waitlist!*

• See all the October just-announced shows at the full list!

THIS FRIDAYYYYYY

LOCALS ONLY

• San Diego Public Library is celebrating Banned Books Week with trivia, paint-and-sip events + more around the city. This year’s theme says it best: Let Books Be. See the lineup!

• Quick coastal PSA: bigger waves, stronger rip currents + high tides are in the forecast through Friday thanks to distant Hurricane Rachel. Please do not fight the Pacific Ocean. Get the forecast.

• After nearly 300 days deployed overseas, USS Abraham Lincoln is expected back in San Diego on Thursday around noon. Plenty of bayfront spots should get a view. Read more.

• I have a small feeling that they will be coming back to SD. They know we love them.
