Super Bowl XLIV is this Sunday, February 7th. None of your friends picked up the torch and announced a party at their place. You know you don’t want twenty friends letting loose in your own living room. So why don’t you leave the chili cheese dip in the jar, skip the pigs-in-a-blanket, and treat yourself to a full-service experience?

These fine San Diego establishments invite you to join them, with as many of your closest friends you can coax onto public transit or cram into a designated driver’s chariot.  With kick-off happening just before 3:30 pm, most are beginning the festivities around noon.  Get your rest, you’ll need it for this full-contact day of fun!

A gliders view of the Torrey Pines Golf Course

As we usher in a new decade at the world famous Torrey Pines Golf Course, we also usher in a new tournament sponsor. The tournament formerly known as the Buick Invitational is no more. Farmers Insurance has stepped up to the tee box as new title sponsor, giving us the Farmers Insurance Open 2010. With current economic conditions, sponsorships aren’t viable for many businesses, including members of the struggling auto industry.  After twenty years of sponsorship, Buick announced last year that they could not return in 2010 for the 4th stop on the PGA Tour at Torrey Pines.

“It was only within the last few weeks that this ultra-prestigious tournament found a title sponsor…”

What’s the sizzling hot ticket in San Diego this week?

It’s the sold out Chargers vs Jets game this Sunday! (OK, so it was an easy question…) On a 11 game winning streak, the Bolts face a tough match up with the New York Jets. But, if the electricity around town is any indicator, this winning streak is destined to continue.

The ever popular ‘Bud Light Power Party’ kicks off the day with live music, large screen TVs airing pre-game shows, food, games, & prizes. It all begins at 9 AM and will continue until 12:30 PM, right before kickoff at 1:40 PM.

Katharine McPhee (of 5th season American Idol fame) will be performing at the Power Party, as well as singing our national anthem at the start of the game.

Here’s some tips to get to & fro stress free…

“STANDING ROOM ONLY…”

The San Diego International Triathlon returns once again to our Downtown waterfront for their 26th annual event, on June 28, 2009. The San Diego International Triathlon is one  of the  longest standing triathlons in the country, and a HUGE local favorite. Participation is eagerly anticipated and each year the event  rapidly sells out.

Both races take place at Spanish Landing Park, located on Harbor Drive (near the San Diego International Airport.) Encinitas’ Nytro Multisport Technology had the 100 ‘Last Chance To Enter Event’ tickets. Hopeful participants lined up in the pre-dawn hours for a dash to the door at 10 AM in hopes of a ticket.  As we drove through Encinitas early this morning, the line stretched far along Highway 101… Both events are now sold out.
