San Diego · Thursday letter

Not every event.
The ones you’d go to.

A short list for the weekend. A plate. A guitar. A ride. A movie with a needle drop. Brought to you by Scott.

A neighborhood patio at dusk, wine and a plate on the table

The filter: a patio, a plate, a soundtrack.

The mix

What the letter hunts. Thursday names the ones that hit this week.

Night

Steak and a dark room

A proper plate of meat, a low light, maybe a little too loud. The kind of dinner you stay for.

Neighborhood hang · a scene when it’s worth it
Live

Acoustic in a small bar

A restaurant or a bar you can talk in. A guitar. A plate if they cook. This is the one Scott actually loves.

Small rooms · live acoustic
Spectacle

The big weird one

NASCAR. Motocross. Monster trucks. A large poker tournament. If it’s actually in town, it jumps the list.

When it’s actually in town
Lawn

The Shell, a lawn, a park

The Rady Shell. A movie outside. A concert on the grass. Sky, sound, a drink. This is a regular yes.

Sky, sound, a drink
Ride

Coast ride on the e-bike

Roll the water, stop where the view is stupid good, eat something with a napkin. Motorcycles welcome.

Water. A view. A stop for food.
Street

A street fair, then a taco

Walk, listen, then al pastor or a smash burger.

Festivals · meat first
Water

On the water

A harbor cruise or a table that looks at boats. Boating as a vibe. A drink. The city from the other side.

Boat. Views. A drink.
Out

Leave town

Jacumba. Palm Springs. Up the coast. A real bill at Pappy and Harriet’s. Ride out, soak or eat, come back late.

Day trips · desert · coast · Jacumba
Also

A farmers market

Go for the walk. Leave with a bag if something looks good.

On the list
Also

A tattoo art show

Flash, paintings, the shop as a gallery. Then a drink next door.

Scott’s rooms

The house list. A new place only makes the letter if it could sit next to these.

Night

The Turf ClubSteak. Jazz. A room you go back to.
The RivieraSupper club. Low light. Stay a while.
Cowboy StarMeat on a real plate.
Starlight LoungeA drink. A little theater.
QueenstownA hang. Then another round.

The Thursday letter

Seven things. One email. Thursday. Short.
