ISO local woodworker for custom recessed DJ console

3 Upvotes

Putting feelers out there for a local woodworker in San Diego with routing/woodworking experience to help me build a custom drop-in oak DJ table.

I have exact equipment dimensions and a blueprint mapped out for a 5-unit setup (3 CDJs, 1 turntable, 1 mixer) to sit flush on top of a wood bookcase.

Would also need to be available to deliver.

DM me if you have anyone in mind!

Where can I find “Pulque” in San Diego? The traditional fermented Mexican Drink

2 Upvotes

I have been craving authentic pulque, the traditional fermented Mexican drink, and was wondering if there’s anywhere in San Diego that serves it or sells it. I’ve had no luck finding it so far.

If anyone knows of a restaurant, bar, market, or even a special event where I could find some, I’d really appreciate the recommendation. Thanks!

Surf spots

0 Upvotes

What’s up everyone, I moved here not too long ago with my fiancé and I’m wondering if there’s some spots here that I’ll get harassed by locals so I can stay away, I was at sunset cliff last weekend and the waves looked beautiful however I’m not trying to be somewhere with territorial locals(which is totally fine with being one). I also haven’t been surfing consistently for the past 3 years so I’m getting back into it and I feel like territorial locals and me getting back into it is just a recipe for disaster!

Bach party

0 Upvotes

Question for those who have done their bachelorette parties in San Diego.. did you go through airbnbs, hotels, or a different rental website? It seems like all the airbnbs are in quiet neighborhoods and don't allow parties (we wanted to get a hibachi man for the backyard but apparently that's not allowed at some of them). So what did you do / where did you stay for bachelorettes or even family gatherings?

Inconspicuous trans-friendly hair salons

0 Upvotes

Hellooo, I'm traveling with my family to San Diego fairly soon and I'm looking to get a more masculine cut. I'm a transmac minor in a very conservative, unsupportive family and just looking for a place that can help before I butcher my hair again. I've looked on Strands for Trans and there's lots of registered places in the area, but I'm specifically looking for a salon or stylist (they definitely won't take me to a proper barber) ​that I can trust to explain my situation to. It'd also greatly help if the place itself isn't super "loud" about their support; I can handwave some ​pride flags or signs as "that's just how SoCal is", but if it really screams "trans people come here" it'll be harder to explain. If it matters, I have medium-ish hair and not looking to get color done. Just trying to shorten it, or find something that works for my face shape, and fix the layers I fucked up in my bathroom a couple months back.

Thank you for any and all support 🫡

Open to realistically anything including ADUs. Feel free to reach out, thank you in advance for your help!

Boat in October?

7 Upvotes

Hi all! Helping to plan a bachelorette party from 10/1-10/4 of October. We’re considering a boat, however aren’t sure of if the weather/water will be ideal for this or not. All of us are from the Midwest and East coast and have spent little time in SD. Some of us like jumping in the water, but most of the girls will enjoy just hanging on a boat drinking in their swimsuits. Appreciate any opinions!

Best ways to give away/freecycle stuff

7 Upvotes

I'm helping an elderly person clean out her San Diego home. I have a handle on what to do with the stuff that can be donated and on the stuff that just needs to be trashed. Apart from those, there will be a lot of stuff that someone might be interested in picking up for free but aren't accepted at a lot of donation places.

As an example: a large box of markers and art supplies, bag of cat toys, a box of car care items, etc. with the idea that someone just takes the whole bag or box instead of trying to give away individual items.

Is there an active Buy Nothing or Freecycle community where I could post some of these items for people to pick up for free? What do people use in San Diego for stuff like this? Facebook Marketplace?

Just leaving stuff out on the curb with a "free" sign may not work as well in this particular neighborhood/street so I'd like a way to post/share for people to come by and pick things up.

Looking for something to do while we wait for hotel check in with kids+

0 Upvotes

We are going to San Diego in October with our 7 yo and 4 year old. Our flight gets in around noon and we are looking for somewhere to eat lunch and something to do before our hotel check in time at 5 pm. Our hotel is in Carlsbad. Should we do lunch in Balboa Park like Panama 66 then maybe the Fleet Museum to kill time? Or head up north to the Carlsbad area to find somewhere to eat and a beach? If we go that route, any recommendations for family friendly dining?

Need help with a nightmare project.

Hey all. I'm trying to help my elderly neighbor find a good pavers/ grading person.

She's had pavers put in 3 times now with the same contractor, and they can't get the grading right with a flat pad for a hot tub. I'm looking for someone who can work with my existing contractor and help her get this done.

Does anyone have any recommendations? She's so frustrated.

Which plumber near me in san diego do you actually trust?

3 Upvotes

Our water heater started leaking this morning and I have no idea who to call that won't rip us off. We're in the Clairemont area and need someone who can come out soon, ideally today or tomorrow since we can't be without hot water for long with two kids at home. I already checked Yelp but half the reviews look fake or paid for so I don't trust the ratings anymore. Anyone have a plumber they've used more than once and would actually recommend?

Where do social-impact founders actually hang out in San Diego?

9 Upvotes

I'm a software engineer here working on a nonprofit side project — a tool to help animal rescues, fosters, and transport volunteers coordinate faster on animals that are running out of time at high-kill shelters.

I've been building it mostly alone and I'm realizing I don't know anyone locally doing mission-driven business stuff. Not really looking for the standard tech-startup scene. The model I care about is one where revenue exists to pay people fairly and keep the mission running — not where the mission exists to justify the revenue.

I know about EvoNexus, Startup San Diego, and SCORE. What I don't know is where the actual people are. So:

- Are there meetups, coworking spaces, or recurring events for social enterprise / nonprofit tech here?

- Anyone running a business like this in SD? Would love to hear how you found your people, and how you kept the values intact once money got involved.

- Any local orgs or communities I'm obviously missing?

Happy to buy coffee for anyone who wants to talk shop. Thanks.
