Things To Do In San Diego: July 25-27, 2008

As if this week hasn't been rad enough, this weekend is going to kick ass, including the Awesome-ness that is the Swim Party CD Release tonight with Writer at the Whistle, but I'll also be catching Hercules and Love Affair at the Casbah tonight. Maybe after I'll wander the streets of downtown taking pics of randoms. Then there's plenty of choices for Saturday and then on Sunday there's the free show at the Casbah on Sunday with the debut of the Moviegoers...they sent me their CD a couple months ago and I've been waiting for them to book some shows. Honestly, if they're even half as good live as they are recorded, they will still kill. Really looking forward to all of it.

Summer Concerts In The Park

Someone in comments asked me to mention the Kate Sessions Concert Series that starts today at 4pm and will happen again for the next 3 Sundays, but there are a ton of summer series in neighborhood parks all over San Diego. SignOn SanDiego made an extensive list here for your reference.

I also understand the Handlery Hotel is continuing their summer pool parties on Sundays if that's more your thing.

For the record: why I will not attend Pride this weekend

It seems like everyone I've talked to this week has been raving about Pride and asking if I'll be attending. I just wanted to say, for the record, I will not be attending Pride this weekend. Full post when you click on 'keep on reading'.

The thing is, I love my gays, and I'm friends and/or a fan of most of the bands playing at Pride this weekend, but seriously, there seem to be a lot of people who think that all I do is blog. I would like to reiterate that this blog is purely a hobby, and I don't make any money doing this, save for the occasional ad I post that garners some donation. I have been out every night this week for various events and shows, which I would like to post about, and my weekend is my only real time to do so. My day job at the ad agency has been crazily insane lately, so while most people look forward to going out on the weekend, I look forward to doing absolutely nothing. Of course, "nothing" meaning doing laundry, cleaning, writing, uploading pictures and video, spending time with family, and sleeping. Oh, believe me, there will be a lot of sleeping. So, everyone, have fun at Pride, take some pictures and feel free to email them to me and even do a write-up if you feel inclined. I'd be happy to post about it. But for me, this weekend will be a lot of ass on chair.

Side note, I've recently invited several friends to contribute to this site. If you have input or would like to post on SD:Dialed In, please e-mail me with a sample post. I am completely open to having people contribute to making this site more comprehensive and more inclusive.

Culture: Adapta Project Presents 'A Room Of One's Own'

I realize this is a straight up press release, but this is a pretty cool event coming up, put on by the Adapta Project (including my homegirl Kinsee from CityBeat). Plus there's a free shuttle from San Diego on 7/19.

'A Room of One's Own: Intimate Art in Contemporary Space'

An upcoming one-week exhibit (July 19 – 27) will open on Saturday, July 19, 5 - 11 p.m. at Terra Sur, a new residential resort community, south of San Diego near Rosarito Beach, Mexico and will offer a masterful blend of contemporary art and modern architecture created by some of the bi-national region's most talented artists and architects.

Organized by the curatorial upstarts at Adapta Project, this first-of-its-kind art show transforms the various rooms and spaces of an ultramodern multi-story beachfront home into various multi-sensory experiences featuring new installations, paintings, performance pieces, audio and video displays by internationally renowned artists including Tania Candiani, Aldo Guerra, Mely Barragan, Daniel Ruanova and others.

Click "keep on reading" to keep on reading and for details on free shuttle from San Diego

The site-specific artworks represent the Baja region and the subjects of ownership and identify, in the model home of a community designed by some of Southern California and Baja Mexico's most elite architects including Rob Wellington Quigley, who most recently created the new award-winning downtown San Diego Children's Museum, and Guillermo Martinez de Castro ("Mannix"), who crafted the colorful Festival Hotel and Entertainment Center in Rosarito Beach.

At 'A Room of One's Own: Intimate Art in Contemporary Space,' patrons will get a glimpse of the talents of some of the emerging and established artists based in Tijuana, Estonia, and Mexico City, as well as gain a better understand of why Baja California has a growing reputation around the world as a cultural and artistic capital.

The unveiling celebration of "A Room of One's Own" on July 19 will include artists in attendance and music. Reservations are requested at adaptaproject@gmail.com.

A free shuttle service will be available from San Diego; shuttle reservations are required by emailing adaptaproject@gmail.com and space is limited (check www.adaptaproject.com for more details).

Get Some Culture In Your Life

I have to admit that I've become quite addicted to the interactive environment and the non-repeating music list that they've got over at X1Fm.com. Yesterday the station had Republic of Letters on in the morning with some beer and sushi tasting in the afternoon and today they had Get Back Loretta and some Hooters girls. There's always something cool happening on air there and the chat room is fascinating.

Anyway, yesterday I won tickets to a Beer/Sake/Sushi tasting happening on Wednesday at the W Hotel, which works out perfectly since I'll be going to see Joseph Arthur at Anthology.

If you're into sake, I highly recommend checking this out. Tickets will run you $50, but for 3 hours of drinking and food, you're sure to get your money's worth. Details below or CLICK HERE for tickets. Natalie and I will be there early- you should be, too.

July 16 - Beer & Sake Festival

Savor the crisp, clean flavors of Japanese and local beer and sake.
Sample delicious Japanese and Asian-fusion delicacies.

Date
July 16, 2008 - July 16, 2008
Time
6:00pm - 9:00pm
Location
W Hotel San Diego

Also, Tyler is really good about giving the head's up to some cool cultural stuff going on around San Diego, so in case you missed it in the comments, here's something happening Friday:

EARLY EVENING @MINGEI: CALIFORNIA GROWN
Friday, Jul 18, 08 5:30 - 8:30 pm
Location : Balboa Park

Enjoy art, music, food and wine – all local, all fresh. Featuring the exhibition FORMS IN WOOD AND FIBER – Southern California New Work.

Happy Birthday, Claudia!

OK, I still have a whole bunch of posts to catch up on, however being that it's 4 a.m. and I will be spending the day with my family at Kate Sessions Park for my little sister's 10th birthday, I better call it a night. Gotta be ready to hit the slip n' slide and all that good stuff.

Happy Birthday, Claudia! My life is better because you're a part of it.



By the way, it's "Family Day" at Kate Sessions, so if you have kids, there's going to be bounce houses, slip n slide, BBQs, and other family activities all day long. With the weather as perfect as it was today, Sunday is going to be a great day on the hill.
