    • Didn't see any thread like this one, so i figure I'd give it a shot. I thought it'd be a good idea to start a little thread like this for our area where we could promote our own bands, shows, venues, parties, anything really.

      We could use this to meet up new bands to play shows with too. We help each other promote, maybe look for bands to tour with, the possibilities are endless.

      so just post anything: band pages, shows, whatever.

      i'll go first, here's my band. we're down to play with anyone or any house parties ;)

      also speaking of parties, I'm gonna do one or two little DIY parties/shows this summer. probably at local banquet halls around OC. message me if your interested in helping, playing, or just partying.

      i hope this thread works. I've found it difficult to find like minded people around, and sharing the stage with metal bands or goth bands can be awkward when you're just a rock n roll duo. i hope some kind of community can grow from this!

    • 1) Record stores:

      The best record store in SD is Record City in Hillcrest. Across the street from RC is another great store called Thirsty Moon Records. A few blocks away is M-Theory. Near Ocean Beach is Cow Records. Taang is ok for rare records, but the prices are so INSANE, it's almost laughable. I'd go to Record City first.

      2) Venues:

      For rock n roll/garage shows, I'd stick to The Casbah, Til Two and the Tower Bar.

       

      3) Beer:

      1. SD has a large beer culture... this place is super popular: http://blindlady.blogspot.com/  I think there is even a beer tour http://www.sandiegoisbrewing.com/  - I am not the right person to ask, as I don't drink... but I know Blind Lady always has a line out the door for their food and beer. On that same street is a gourmet pizza place that has the most amazing pizza ever called Zia's Pizza... 

       

      4) Tijuana.

      Personally, I'd pass unless you have a friend to go with during the DAY only. Don't go at night!! There's a record store on Revolucion, but it's always closed when I've attempted to go there. The police there are shady... but the food is good and there's lots of cheap beer!!

       

      5) Any other touristy type bullshit I should do? 

      If you're willing to make a little road trip, there's this RAD place called Salvation Mountain that is a few hours away near the Salton Sea and Bombay Beach... ghost towns, but great for taking pictures; Balboa Park is really pretty - lots of cool museums; obviously all the beaches; seal beach in La Jolla is cool http://www.lajollafriendsoftheseals.org/   there's a place about 45 minutes away called Julian, it's an old little town but they have really good pie and little shops... kinda nice to just walk around when the weather outside is good; the Birch aquarium is cool..... there's a lot of fun and low cost stuff to do around SD... have a fun trip!!

    • I'm a Canadian (Calgary) guy who's going to be in San Diego for a few days in July.  I want some tips on stuff to do there.  Let's break it down, shall we?

       

      1) Record stores.  Which ones are worth checking out for quality vinyl?  I checked the Taang website and I thought the prices on the "collectible" records they had listed were pretty ridiculous.  Is it still worth a dig?  Where else should I check?  Also, if there's anyone from San Diego who's a collector interested in doing some trading, let me know.  I have some Canadian KBD type punk stuff I could bring and swap. 

       

      2) Venues.  Where do the good bands play in San Diego?  I doubt there's anything announced yet, but I'd like to be able to check the websites for the cool places before I go.

       

      3) Beer.  I have a professional and recreational interest in craft beer.  Where are the good micros and brewpubs?  I heard that Stone and Green Flash have both opened up new retail locations/pubs in the downtown area.  I also heard that Pizza Port is really good.

       

      4) Tijuana.  Is it worth making the trip across the border?   

       

      5) Any other touristy type bullshit I should do?  I heard that the museum on the U.S.S. Midway is pretty cool.

      Thanks.

    • It's the last Saturday of every month.  However they are hosting a birthday party tonight  (April 14)at McGillicuddys (ex-Whiskey Dix). 421 N. 7th St.  Open to the public and , knowing the birthday boy, the emphasis will probably be on punk, surf, trash rock.  Tell 'em the Jersey City Mods sent you.

    •  Maybe they should just re-name the Parkside Lounge "The Dive" for a few weeks.

    • I guess we're gonna get to know the bartenders at Parkside pretty well in the next 2 months.

      Are there going to be any new T-shirts to add to our collection?

    • Thanks. I'll give it a shot. I'm originally from Nashville and lived there until 11 years ago (until I moved to Moronto, Cana-duh). Everything's changed so much I don't really know anyone down there any more to book shows.
