Get Ridiculous

Mowalla is proud to announce the latest athletic social challenge to hit the Best Coast- The R.O.C. Race (Ridiculous Obstacle Challenge). Brought to you by Vavi and Millennium Events, San Diego’s premier sports & social activity club and creators of the Del Mar Mud Run, The R.O.C. Race promises a day of challenging team fun along with a rockin’ after party for racers and spectators alike.

What is an R.O.C. Race, you might ask? Well, I’ll leave it to the event creators to sum it up:

Mowalla announces participation in NCAA Final Four Dribble Committee

March Madness is in full swing and Mowalla is ready to go to the line and get in on all the Final Four action happening in Houston. We are very excited to announce our membership in the NCAA Final Four Dribble Committee.

San Diego City Fest

Back in May of 2010 the Luis Palau Association (LPA) started its Season of Service. During that five month period, they mobilized churches, community groups and business leaders to engage in multiple types of service projects, such as giving service hours to the city, and building a Habitat for Humanity house over the course of two months.

J.O.E. vs. The Belmont Harbor

Hello, Friends. RedMoon’s Festival J.O.E. has finally arrived at Belmont Harbor in all its street-art glory and we’re sure you won’t want to miss it. Yesterday, Mowalla had the pleasure of attending the pre-opening press conference with none other than Major Richard Daley. The Mayor’s visit proved to be an excited one with exploding confetti canons, guest speakers and an impromptu skeletal orchestra serenade.

RedMoon Rising

RedMoon’s Festival J.O.E. is only a week away and we are getting seriously excited. This is your official reminder to get your tickets to see the first American appearance of the Architects of Air’s Luminarium before they sell out. Bands courtesy of The Metro, and an evening spectacle performance by RedMoon round out the entertainment line-up. This all ages event happens Labor Day Weekend, so pack up the Family Truckster and head down to Belmont Harbor for an ephemeras and cultural experience not to be missed.

Redo it, Danno?

The television industry continues its efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle old creative content, making this fall’s lineup look eerily familiar, especially to those from the X and Boomer gens. It’s pretty clear that their vintage re-dux strategy is aimed at younger folk- the ones who haven't experienced the past or those that have muted, but fond memories of their parents talking about it.

Mowallapalooza!

This weekend, The Lollapalooza Festival descends on Chicago’s Grant Park. In honor of one of the best music festivals in the country (in arguably one of the most beautiful US city parks), Mowalla presents the five 2010 Lollapalooza bands that have also played Mowalla shows:

The Black Keys- Never in my life have I heard so much beautiful noise come out of two modest dudes on stage with a couple peddles. And, they are seriously nice dudes.

Howdy, Neighbors.

The passing of the Summer Equinox means only one thing to us Chicagoans: get out and enjoy as much warm weather and as you can. With this in mind, we decided to celebrate with an al fresco happy hour in the hood. Mowalla was joined by our next door neighbors, Green Home Chicago Design Center. Together, we sampled some of the best craft brews and artisan cheese in the world at The Publican, a Fulton Market hotspot.

The Imaginarium of Dr. Luminarium?

Hello and happy Friday,

Horsepower

Greetings from the left coast. It’s been a minute since Mowalla’s other half has chimed in from San Diego, but we are back in action fresh off our week long experience with the Budweiser Clydesdales at the MLB All-Star Game in Anaheim, CA (no, we did not man the shovels while we were there).
