It's newsletter time, so let's get newsy. April is packed, so I'll try to keep it as to-the-point as possible.

We just had a great skateboard photography exhibition party for Brian Fick. I used to skate with Brian when they had the vert ramp in Mission Valley, and now more recently at the park in Clairmont. We'll have his photos up through mid-April for you to check out. There are photos of everyone from Bucky Lasek to Bob Burnquist, as well as a bunch of other amazing skaters.

Our fish sculpture artist Matt Mahoney just had his senior exhibition at the Keller Gallery at Point Loma Nazarene University.

A group of ranchers are trying to get a USDA slaughterhouse going in San Diego. If this happens, it could make local grass-fed meat readily available in San Diego without the costs of going to L.A. for slaughter.

On Tuesday (that's probably today!), we're doing the 30th on 30th. Our special pairing this month will be a Ground Beef Sloppy Joe with house-made pickles & bottle of Ballast Point Calico Amber Ale for $8.

We had a great time watching Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution this past Friday. In fact, it was so much fun we'll be showing it every Friday at 9pm on our big screen.

On Easter Sunday (April 4th), we'll be doing some to-be-determined brunch specials. We're open for lunch every Saturday and Sunday from 11:30am-3pm.

On Mondays in April, we'll be continuing Flip Night. If you call it right, one of your entrees is free!

Thursday, April 8th, we'll be hosting a Dine Out for San Diego Oceans Foundation fundraiser. 15% of sales will be donated to this great cause.

Thursday, April 15th is tax day. To make things easier for you that day, we're doing a No Tax Day! Have dinner at the restaurant and don't pay any sales tax on your check. Given that sales tax is now at 8.75% in San Diego, that's not a bad deal for you.

Saturday, April 17th, from 5-7pm will be our next Blind Wine Tasting. Bring a bottle (hidden in a paper bag) and $15 and enjoy a mixer-style happy hour which includes a variety of tasty tapas. We'll add a link to the meetup page when week get it.

April 21st is the monthly Third Wednesday DrinkAbout. It's been gaining steam ever since that night it poured rain on everyone.

April 22nd is Earth Day. It's also the start of the Park 2 Park Shuttle. Omar Passons has been doing a lot of work to make this a great service. Looking forward to seeing it in action!

April 24th is an electric vehicle conversion workshop. Read about it here and see Schwarzenegger on one sweet ride.
