Summer is almost over!! It's time to shake a tail feather at the Altitudes Sky Lounge on the rooftop of the Marriott.

I love this place. It's absolutely beautiful up there. Not just the view, but the decor too. They have palm trees, shiek white leather couches, a fire place, bar facing petco park.. amazing!

Another huge plus is no cover, but more importantly, no dress code. But even then,.. GIRLS, dress up! if there's a chance to dress up, this would be a great place to. Leave your flip flops at home! The dress code is more beneficial to the boys, who can wear their hats/kicks and still look good/formal without having to worry about being declined at the door because of what their shoes look like.

May I suggest you arrive before 10p. Trust me the line will not be your friend after 10.

Checkout the Happy Hour menu.

See ya at the meetup,

Hey everyone:

I do apologize for the late notice. I was trying to make arranagements with The W hotel for this month's meetup, but the genre of music was House and just didn't want that. So I picked a new spot I heard a lot about in North Park!

True North is a catchall bar. The place comes equipped with all the popularity-ensuing essentials: pool tables, dance pad, glass garage doors, huge half-barrel booths, some 20 flatscreens, beer-friendly grub like barbecue burgers and tater tots, a bar the size of Kong and a smoking patio the size of Puerto Rico (with its own separate satellite bar). As far as the crowd goes, you'll most likely see something you rarely see in all of San Diego: Finally a Multi-cultural mix of fun people everywhere, all shaking their hips in time to Bell Biv DeVoe, Salt-n-Pepa and the Beastie Boys.


I know we will enjoy this place! The word is you have to get there before 10p or there will be long line. You know I will be there at 7p to greet everyone!!

Thanks for your support,
Dree'

Rick Braun
Trumpeter Rick Braun, one of the most acclaimed and innovative contemporary jazz artists, is always at the top of his game. "The best part of being successful in smooth jazz is being able to live in an extremely creative environment and do what I love to do best, without making compromises," Rick said. Rick's inviting and charismatic live shows are always an audience pleaser.

Jonathan Butler
Acclaimed South African two-time Grammy nominated songwriter, guitarist, and producer, Jonathan Butler, has had a 25 year recording career in pop, R&B, smooth jazz and adult formats. Butler, a soulfully inspired man, sees music as his salvation and "the purpose and tool which God has used for my life." If we must label and define this individually gifted artist and his music, "soul jazz" seems to be the most fitting and is a driving force behind his live performances.

Richard Elliot
Saxophonist Richard Elliot brings his unique and compelling grooves as only Elliot can. Since the 1980s, Elliot has been among the top saxophonists with his an easily accessible, groove-oriented style that combines elements of jazz, pop and R&B. Elliot loves to perform live, and has a singular talent for enthralling audiences with his powerful, no-holds-barred playing and seemingly inexhaustible on-stage

North Park What a gem! MOSAIC Wine bar It's got an upscale vibe but somehow also felt very comfortable.

It is really nice inside, the architecture is modern and beautiful. Ambiance is very mellow and classy. definitely a fun place to hang. Selection and service is top notch. The prices are extremely reasonable and it's a great space.

Honestly parking on a Friday night would be very definitely frustrating that's parking in San Diego for ya.

The whole place feels classy but not at all snobby, which is a tough line for wine bars to walk, and Mosaic pulls it off wonderfully!!
