About

The Holding Company, 1841 5th Ave, San Diego. June 11th. $5 suggested donation. Nerd Nite San Diego returns for the June edition — three talks, one bar, and the format that guarantees you leave knowing something you didn't know when you walked in.

The June edition of Nerd Nite brings the same structure that has made the monthly a fixture in the San Diego intellectual social calendar: speakers who care deeply about a subject you've probably never thought about, given twenty minutes to make the room care too. The subjects change every month. The common thread is enthusiasm — the specific kind that makes someone get up in front of a bar full of strangers and explain a thing because they couldn't not.

$5 suggested at the door. June 11th at The Holding Company in Hillcrest. sandiego.nerdnite.com for the speaker lineup and topics. The talks start around 7. The bar is open throughout. Come before the talks start to get a seat that works. Stay after the talks to talk to the speakers, who are always in the bar and always willing to continue the conversation they just started.

Little Tokyo Anime and Culture Night -- Los Angeles June 2026
In 10 days · Jun 13 327 E 2nd St, Los Angeles, CA 90012

Little Tokyo after dark is already a different city. Add an anime community that claims it on a Thursday night, and you have one of the few Los Angeles experiences that doesn't try to be Coachella. This is a neighborhood event run by people who actually live in the culture — not a convention, not a festival, not a sponsored activation. Just anime fans, good food, and Little Tokyo's block-by-block intimacy. The gathering rotates between Little Tokyo's best spots — restaurants, lounges, and venues that have their own identity outside of event night. The crowd is a mix of casual watchers and people who can quote chapter numbers. Both feel at home. The format keeps things loose: themed nights, cosplay-optional, and enough vendor presence to make it worth staying late. It's the kind of night where you end up talking to strangers about seasonal lineups and leave with three new shows on your watchlist. For the SoCal anime community that lives outside convention season, this is what the in-between looks like. It doesn't peak. It's just consistent. That's the rarer thing. Nearest metro: Little Tokyo/Arts District (A Line). Free street parking after 8pm in most Little Tokyo lots.

Macross: Do You Remember Love? -- First Official U.S. Theatrical Screening
Jul 5, 2026 800 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, C…

The film that defined the Macross franchise gets its first official US theatrical run since its original release. Not the streaming version. A theater, the original print, and an audience that knows every frame. The film itself is a theatrical retelling of the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross television series, condensed into a feature-length experience that blends mecha warfare, a love triangle, and the premise that music can end a galactic war. Directed by Noboru Ishiguro and Shoji Kawamori, the film is considered a benchmark of 1980s anime production. Its space battle sequences and character animation set standards that influenced a generation of animators. The soundtrack -- particularly Mari Iijima's original performances of Do You Remember Love? and My Boyfriend Is a Pilot -- became foundational texts of anime music culture. Worth it? Who it's for: If you have watched any Macross series, listened to Mari Iijima, or know what Valkyrie fighters are, this screening is for you -- and for the next 40 years, it will be one of those events you either attended or missed. Classic anime collector culture prizes theatrical screenings of foundational films above almost any contemporary release because of the rarity. This is a once-in-a-lifetime screening, not a revival. It is the first official time. The Novo is a 2,300-seat venue; tickets are limited. What to know before you go: The screening is Sunday July 5, 2026 at noon at The Novo by Microsoft, 800 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles. This is adjacent to Anime Expo 2026 (July 2-5 at LACC), making it a natural anchor for AX attendees. A BIGWEST Macross panel precedes the screening at Anime Expo (July 2, 1 PM, Room 511ABC at LACC). The Novo is walkable from the Convention Center. Buy tickets well in advance -- the collector community for this film is global, not local, and demand will exceed venue capacity. The Macross: Do You Remember Love? theatrical screening is the kind of event the anime community has waited for longer than most of its members have been alive. When licensing barriers fall, they sometimes fall for a single moment. This is that moment. July 5, 2026, The Novo, Los Angeles.

San Diego Symphony — Summer Pops at The Rady Shell 2026
In 2 days · Jun 5 – Sep 19 The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, 222…

The San Diego Symphony's Summer Pops season at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park brings world-class orchestral music to the San Diego waterfront for a series of outdoor concerts running June through September 2026. The Rady Shell — an acoustically engineered open-air performance venue on the waterfront at Jacobs Park — provides a stunning setting for the Symphony's summer season with San Diego Bay visible beyond the audience. The Summer Pops programming spans the full range from classical masterworks to pops concerts featuring Broadway music, film scores, jazz, and popular artists performing with orchestral accompaniment. The variety makes the summer season accessible to audiences who aren't regular classical concertgoers while delivering the full orchestral experience that the Symphony's musician quality supports. The Rady Shell's outdoor format is distinctly family-friendly — picnic blankets, lawn chairs, and the relaxed atmosphere of the waterfront park contrast with the formality of indoor concert halls. The adjacent Jacobs Park lawn allows families to spread out while the children remain within range of the music. Food and wine are available from vendors on-site. The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park is located at 222 Park Blvd in downtown San Diego, walkable from the Embarcadero and accessible via MTS Trolley (Convention Center station). Parking in the downtown convention center structures. Individual concert tickets and season subscriptions available through the San Diego Symphony website.

The cartridge is in a bin. The person selling it doesn't know what you paid for it, and doesn't care — they're looking for something too. That moment of physical contact with hardware from your childhood, at a table run by someone who shares the same obsession, is what the SoCal Gaming Expo is built on. Pasadena Convention Center, June 6-7, 2026: free-play arcade, 200-plus vendor tables, competitive gaming, and the specific joy of a room where everything is for sale and everyone is looking. Retro gaming at its core, which undersells it — this is the show for people who never stopped. Free-play stations running throughout.

The console that defined your childhood is in a bin here. The person selling it has been looking for yours.

NES, Sega Genesis, SNES, N64, Dreamcast — the full range, from the people who kept theirs. The retro gaming show that doesn't apologize for the nostalgia.

Long Beach Symphony: Magnificent Mozart & Mahler
In 3 days · Jun 6 300 E Ocean BL, Terrace Theater - …

Terrace Theater, 300 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach Convention Center. June 6th. The Long Beach Symphony plays Magnificent Mozart & Mahler — a program anchored by two composers who could not be more different in temperament and could not be more fundamental to understanding what orchestral music can do when it's built correctly. Mozart is economy. Every note is placed because it belongs, and removing any one of them would change the architecture of the whole. Mahler is excess, is weight, is the feeling of being caught inside something too large for any one emotion to hold. A program that puts them on the same night has a point of view about what a symphony season should argue. The Terrace Theater is a serious performing arts venue with the acoustics to hold that argument. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. June 6th in Long Beach. This is the kind of night that works for people who have never been to a symphony and want to understand what the fuss is about, and it works equally for people who have been going for decades. The program earns both audiences. Show up and let the room tell you what it knows.
