Going to be in SD from the 28th-31st.
Any recommendations for shops/shows?

Thanks in advance.

5 and A Dime are teh local purveyor of neo-kaiju goodness. U need to hit up Baronacasino, DeJesus and WTFunks for the full story.

Toys: 5 and A Dime, Mitsuwa (if you're into Gundams and stuff), Comicaze

Clothes: 5 And A Dime, UnSteady, Blends

Too bad Commissary SD is gone.

Please don't mind the shameless plug, Please check out Tattoo Royale if you are into tattoo's and art. We are in the North Pacific Beach area of S.D. Our shop is set up like a gallery with plenty of original art on the walls, and some toys lurking about. Plus I would really like to do some toy related ink! Any Skullbrainers, stop on by and say hi.

For shopping, 5&10, Unsteady, Blends, Armory..they're all in the same area. Commissary was definitely one of the best stores, but closed at the start of the year.
I've wanted to visit Igloo but still have yet to.

Check out Phil's BBQ for lunch or dinner, or if you want some good, cheap sushi, Sushi Deli has 3 locations around SD. The Gaslamp location is usually busy, and they have weird hours. Bronx Pizza is pretty good too. If you want the best carne asada fries, Lolitas is the place to go. For dessert, Extraordinary Desserts.

There's free things like the beach and Mt. Soledad. I'm sure theres more, I just cant think of anything else right now.

Thanks all for the recommendations! too bad commissary is closed, i might have to stop by the costa mesa store on my drive down to SD.

5&A Dime for sure bahahahaaa

yup, ill probably stop by thursday or friday.

ill probably be working those days there.. im there for sure on Saturday

koo well if I see you ill be the asian guy wearing black glasses. wow, i think i just described like 90% of the asian people out there.

u just described me

haha see we fall into the 90%. ill wear my kaws tshirt when i go there.

described me as well.

not me. ill probably be at 5 and a dime thursday after 5. gotta talk to jay

Gonna go to Pink's Hot Dogs first than straight to Poway, so ill probably make it to 5 & A Dime Friday.

Go to Wurstkuche in downtown LA instead of Pinks - I first heard of this place when Chris Kohler drove all the way from San Diego to visit the LA home of gourmet dogs. Never been to Pinks, and from what I hear I am not missing anything.

If u do visit Pinks, give me a shout - I dont live too far from there.

indeed Wurstkuche is way better than Pinks, I went there on my last LA visit

A rattlesnake & rabbit Sausages and a couple of Optimators made me a great lunch

wow thst looks delicious

it is

Duck and Bacon =

Phil's BBQ here I come, for lunch that is.

good choice saiko. phils is awesome

Pink's is not worth the wait. So many good places to eat around there so why stand in line for an average hot dog?

phil's bbq was soo good.

and how was your visit saiko?

I had a really good time hanging around and drinking like crazy. Was too hung over on saturday to make the drive from Poway to downtown SD, but ill be back in SD for SDCC.
