CityBeat slathers on the sunscreen
It’s our annual Summer Guide, and this year we’ve gathered up advice from guides all over the area, from Fodor’s to the zoo to beach bums.
* This issue features advice on the zoo, sky diving, ocean diving, beach front music, yard sales, eating, commentary on what the guide books have to say, a calendar of what to do every weekend this summer, and a lot more.
* When the city of San Diego calls for companies to do city work, most of the time, companies owned by white guys answer the call. So what are they doing about it?
* The Heart Attacks live as rockers are supposed to live, fast and hard.
* CityBeat decries the pro-developer culture in City Hall fostered by Mayor Jerry Sanders.
* D.A. talks to a guy trapped in O.B., while Tony hates that we have a double standard for poor people compared to the rest of us.
* Plus reviews of Bunbury, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, and all that’s fun to do in San Diego this week.
Just wanted to note that I was “pining” for Cheetah Girls tickets for my 8 year old God sister; I think PussyCat Dolls should have a minimum age limit of 18 because to me, they’re basically strippers. (translation: dirty whores) Also, my list was written before the Crowded House show at Humphrey’s on August 24 was announced. I was limited to 6 but Morrissey (June 3, Viejas Concerts at Bayside) would’ve been #7.
Otherwise, thanks for letting me play in the CityBeat sandbox
“Pining!” She went there! O.k., Rosey. Here it comes:
He’s not pinin’; he’s passed on! This parrot is no more. He has ceased to be. He’s expired and gone to meet his maker. This is a late parrot. He’s a stiff. Bereft of life, he rests in peace. If you hadn’t nailed him to the perch he’d be pushing up the daisies. He’s drawn down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot!
Thanks, Rosey. Been dying to do that one.
Um, Troy. Editing error? Or is it YOU who are pining for the Pussycat Dolls?
