Help Top Off Toys for Tots
The holidays are fast-approaching and we’re amped because we’ve found a drop off for Toys for Tots in EV. theHIVE, right on the corner of 11th and F has a bin in their lobby. Swing in and toss a new, unwrapped toy in the bin and local Marines will see that it goes to a child in need. Gotta love the season of giving.
Thread Show San Diego is a Must
We’ve got a big one coming up this weekend….the Thread Show San Diego. This event is a whole lot of awesome things rolled into one event, so listen up. The old WonderBread Factory on 14th and J will provide the space for San Diego’s top independent fashion designers to showcase the products of their creativity. However, there will also be wine tasting, art exhibits, free massages and a push for eco-friendliness. If you’re at all interested in fashion, looking to get a head start on holiday shopping ( even if it’s for you) or sipping cocktails in the presence of the hip and savvy, you’ve gotta check this out. Admission is $10, but if you donate clothing or get there via bicycle, you’ll get $2 off. Nice!
San Diego Hotel Week
The first annual San Diego Hotel Week began today. But, it’s not just for visitors and tourists. The “week” of hot deals, today through the 26th, includes restaurants and attractions too. So just because your a local, doesn’t mean you can’t get in on all the fun. A few of our own are in on it-Hotel Indigo along with tours that make their way into EV-with Bike Tours San Diego on the list. If you’ve got company coming for Thanksgiving, you won’t be coming up short on funds or festivities.
Saddle Up for Myth Project V
Coming VERY soon to Sushi Performance and Visual Arts is Myth Project V-Cowboys:The American Heroes. Conceived and directed by Patricia Rincon, this performance looks like it’s going to be a hoot. By taking a contemporary look at the myth and history tied into the American cowboy, the past will provoke questions about the present.

November 15 @7:00pm

We’ve found the perfect start to your Friday morning. theHIVE, San Diego’s only coworking space is opening their doors to the community every other week to meet and catch up over a cup or two of Cafe Virtuoso coffee.

Remote Check-Ups from Furry Tales
Oh,the magic of technology. The go-to pet-sitters in EV, Furry Tales (11th & Market) offer up some extra perks besides your run-of-the-mill pet care and grooming services. If you have to dash to L.A. for the weekend or are taking some down-time a few time zones away, you can actually monitor your dog over webcam.
Monster Bash to Hit Streets
All Hallows Eve is fast-approaching, so the big questions arise- “What are you going to be?”, and “What are you doing?” Of course you didn’t procrastinate on a costume so you’ve already gotten together an awesome get-up. Next, is to get your Monster Bash wristband. It’s an evening chock-full of drink and food specials, topped off with costume contests at your favorite EV and Gaslamp spots. The streets will be closed off for performances by select DJs and bands throughout the night for a huge downtown block party. What we love: Wristband includes discounted Haunted Hotel ticket when you buy online and free shuttle service 9pm-1am so you keep it safe.
Trouble In The Wind – Burning World
Trouble In The Wind spent an evening downtown busking on street corners and hopping trolley cars in EV.
