Succulent thief in North Park and University Heights
Exactly! I can't believe how the Reader pays for "stories" from anyone who just trolls Nextdoor for content. Lame. Nextdoor is full of these whiny stories. Someone left a sofa in the alley! Oh noes! Its a story! The Wild Sofa dumpers of North Park! The Evil Dog Poop Leavers of Kensington! It's just silly. In between the missing cats and the evil hoodies walking around the hood there can be some good info but you have to dig deeper and deeper to find it. Reader, please do not encourage this, nobody wants to read dumb recaps of Nextdoor threads.— June 14, 2017 10:30 a.m.
Is this mic on?
does anyone still listen to the radio anymore? commerical radio hasn't been relevant for a long time. i guess i listen to NPR if anything, but does anyone really care about what 91x or 949 has become?— November 21, 2012 2:45 p.m.
Plenty of Coachella Madness to Go Around

Applause and Concern
I must be missing something. If university avenue had only one lane in each direction for cars nobody would ever get anywhere. there would be total gridlock. Please tell me you are joking. Is this some kind of april fools joke? Can you imagine what it would be like to exit the 805 at university at rush hour? Like its not messed up enough.— March 19, 2010 4:22 p.m.
The Breakfast Club
Well obviously, Mr. Board, regarding Dazed and Confused, you didn't go to high school in the early 80's in the south or in Texas if that can be considered the fringe of the south. That is exactly what it was like. Dazed and Confused was my high school experience almost to the T. It was hilariously realistic to my experience and Im sure to others as well who went to high school in the late 70s- early 80s. In the south, high school football is king and the movie portrayed that . The freshman rituals, the stoners, looking for the next party, its all there. Not to mention, it has a stellar cast, Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck in one of his earliest roles, and Parker Posey, Mila Jojovich, et al, it is hilarious and a very accurate portrayal of a day in the life / night in the life of what it was like to be in high school in that time period.— November 19, 2009 10:14 a.m.
The Dog Blog -- Dogfight Edition
dude, you are always going to find these types at dog parks. it sucks, but thats the dog park for you. you never know who is going to freak out. my fave is people who try to picnic at the dog park and then freak out at all the dogs for coming up to them cos' they are eating meaty treats at the dog park.. oy...— October 22, 2009 8:54 p.m.
Worst of the Worst
how come los angeles can have shows with alcohol and all ages and san diego county cant? this has baffled me for years. i've been to punk shows in los angeles where there was a bar and it was 18 and up and they seem to be pretty civilized. i dont get it.— May 7, 2009 8:38 p.m.
San Diego tribute bands: 40 Ounces to Freedom (Sublime), Dust N’ Bones (Guns N’ Roses), Dazed and Confused (Led Zeppelin)
tribute bands are a trip. steely damned completely blew me away. they really know their songs and the vibe was awesome. it was amazing. don't waste your money on metal skool. they claim they are a cover band but they used an ipod when i saw them, it was like bad karaoke.. "hey, where's the second guitar coming from?" it was horrible. when i called them out on it they tried to deny it but then they later admitted that they used backing tracks. weak...— March 18, 2009 9:21 p.m.
In Your Face, MySpace
poor noobs, they never learn. pay to play is for suckers. they did it once, but i was shocked to read they did it twice. wow. note to all newbie bands out there, DO NOT PAY TO PLAY. ever. the end.— January 14, 2009 1:50 p.m.
Never Say Die
pay to play is for suckers. if your band is good you will never have to pay to play. its just a scam for the "promoter", always has been and always will be. if bands refuse to pay to play we can make these clowns go away and stop preying on inexperienced musicians— October 22, 2008 12:44 p.m.
