Candlelight, Clippers, and Coastal Shenanigans: Oct 8-14, 2024

O’side It’s a week brimming with horror, hops, hoops and a little afternoon mischief. Start with the LA Clippers vs. Brooklyn Nets at Frontwave Arena—basketball magic that’ll leave you buzzing. Then there’s the candlelight Halloween event at the Star Theatre—a spooky, elegant affair for the senses. Need tacos and a beer? Craft Coast has you covered, but go “Craft Style” for a little secret surprise. And when the afternoon calls for shenanigans (our new favorite theme 😜?), think Fat Joe’s arcade, Jumping out of a plane, climbing walls, and a strike or two at Surf Bowl. Adventure is waiting—don’t keep it waiting too long.

Home office? Real office? No matter... Your office printer’s soul-crushing tantrums are not the hill you want to die on. Imagine a world where your copier just works—no excuses, no fuss, just page after page of blissful efficiency. Whether it’s a short-term event or the daily grind, Logicopy’s got you covered with transparent pricing and zero headaches. They make boring office tech surprisingly…not miserable. It’s the difference between chaos and "copies done, coffee break time."

Caffeination reigns supreme…

I get it, coffee’s personal. But for me? I like mine like my movies: ironic, sarcastic, full bodied and a little old-school. Pier View Coffee’s got it all—caffeine dreams brewed to perfection, donuts so fresh they could have a SAG card, and bagels served with a smile that would snag the role right out from under whichever Friends star was on the cover of People magazine. It’s like walking into a 90s flick, You’ve Got Mail vibes with just a touch of Reality Bites edge. Cozy? Check. Charming? Absolutely. And the people-watching? Pure gold. Come for the coffee, stay for the endless parade of humanity—life’s happening, one ironic sip at a time. My vote…. Flat white with an extra shot in an 8oz. cup. Do it….. ☕️

Who eats Taco’s only on Tuesday???

Taco Tuesdays? That’s a Midwest dream, darling—leave that behind and step into the heart of Craft Coast. Here, tacos and beer don’t just coexist; they dance, they tussle, they fall madly in love, each bite and sip a tangled symphony of flavor. Local tip: the real treasure is going “Craft Style”—not on the menu, not in the brochures, but whispered about in the salty air. Imagine juicy, succulent meat draped in fresh salsas, combined with roasted toasted cheese, fresh tortilla, then finished with a flicker of something extra, something that’s pure alchemy. One bite and you’ll know you’re tasting a secret, an experience reserved for those who dare to venture beyond the obvious.

And then there’s the beer, oh the beer—they brew it right here, under the same roof where stories are spun and friendships forged. Hoppy and bold, or smooth like the sea at dusk, their rotating taps are anything but predictable. Bring your mom, bring a friend, bring a stranger with sand between their toes. Whoever you bring, whatever mood you’re in, Craft Coast delivers, a guaranteed win every damn time.

Dip out for Afternoon Shenanigans 😜
