CoViD-19: Comic-Con Cancels (Officially) | Bad Dreams | Musicians To Get Desired AB5 Exemptions | Art Alive Goes Digital

The Intersection of Harbor Drive and 5th Avenue from Comic-Con 2018
I try very hard to remember this important life social rule: Nobody wants to hear about your dreams, you weirdo! Nova can honestly tell you every detail of her dreams and carry on for a half hour or an hour sharing them. I have to interrupt, remind her that dreams only make sense to the person having them (if even that) and tell her to distill them into 5 minutes or less. Still, I'm curious how many people are having traumatic CoViD-19 fueled dreams? At the risk of breaking my own rules, I'll just say I dreamt I was at a local mall for essentials and it was packed and everyone was in my face like a zombie movie and kids were playing soccer and basketball inside a converted gym and I was getting all Karen about it and screaming for everyone to social distance and stop touching shared surfaces and just completely losing my mind. So yeah. No anxiety here.
We're heading out to attempt contactless bread delivery. Wish us luck.

February is Museum Month in San Diego! Get 50% Off at All Participating Locations!



February is Museum Month in San Diego which mean you can head to participating San Diego Libraries to pick up a free pass that will get you half off entry to a ton of San Diego's museums. To see the full list of pass pickup locations and participating destinations, go to the official site here.

Here's the spiel from the San Diego Museum Council:
This February, San Diego Museum Council is teaming up with San Diego area libraries, Hilton and Macy’s to make San Diego Museum Month 2020 bigger and better than ever. 
With more than 40 museums and cultural attractions offering half-off admission throughout the month, there’s something for everyone including visual art and design, children, science and nature, aquariums and zoos, historical sites, military, transportation, culture and heritage. And with these special savings that are only offered once a year, it’s a great time to visit both old favorites and new attractions you may not have heard of.  
#SDMuseumMonth passes are now available at more than 70 libraries county-wide, participating Macy’s stores or when you book a stay at a local Hilton.
Check out the full list of participating museums and pick-up locations here. 
*Up to four guests (any age) can receive 50% off the cost of regular admission when the San Diego Museum Month is presented. Note that some museums may limit the number of visits per pass.
