Is “mundane-ness” a word? Either way, we're over having the same old out-on-the-town outings, and felt we'd do a bit of research on what else goes on here in San Diego. Whether you're into music, art, eating, or who knows what else, consider partaking in some of these upcoming activities to add a little spice to your life!

September is Art Month in San Diego
www.artsmonthsd.com
The gray days of late equate to a perfect opportunity to inject a good helping of culture into your life, so it's a good thing September is Art Month in San Diego. Check out the Contemporary Art Fair, Art of Photography Show, San Diego Film Festival, and many more. Just don't forget your ultra-artsy beret and/or turtleneck. See below for a quick sketch of an appropriate outfit. You should look something like this, except we suspect you're not an owl. No worries, same idea:
The Tempest
www.balboapark.org/press/summer-shakespeare-festival
If you've never experienced Shakespeare before (and fyi that Leo DiCaprio movie only half counts), be sure you take in Shakespeare’s final and most beloved masterpiece, The Tempest, which places desire for revenge against the demands of love. Sounds juicy! The play extends through September 25 at Balboa Park. Tickets range from $29-$85.
