The Meet Up
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
2817 Dickens St, San Diego, CA 92106
This event is optional.
For those that are in town and looking to meet up the night before. This is a drop in event to come say "hi" and join us for a beer. A few things to note: This will be on a Friday night in July, so traffic might be a little tough. You may want to give yourself an extra 15 minutes to get to the venue. Eppig doesn't have a designated parking lot, but they recommend street parking along Dickens and neighboring streets or one of the multiple paid lots and metered spots in the area: H&M Landing and Brigantine along Shelter Island Drive. Eppig's last call is at 8:30 pm. Eppig is right on the marina, so you might want to bring something warm in case it gets cold. Eppig is open to people under 21.

Travel
Flight
San Diego International Airport
SAN is a pretty simple airport, located near downtown. They have rental car options but very little in the way of public transport. You'll probably want to plan on using rideshare or calling a taxi if you aren't renting a car.
House Or Rental
Rental Houses
There are lots of Airbnb and VRBO options in San Diego. It is a vacation town, so we recommend looking early before things book up for the summer. Neighborhoods we recommend near the venue: La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Bird Rock, Mission Beach Neighborhoods we recommend that are a bit further away: North Park, University Heights, South Park, Hillcrest All areas have their own vibe and scene. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to know more about each.
Hotel
Hotels
We don't have much personal experience with San Diego hotels, but here are some well-reviewed spots worth checking out. Near the venue: Inn by the Sea, Grande Colonial, Estancia La Jolla Hotel, and Scripps Inn. Further away (rental car recommended): Bahia Resort Hotel, Pacific Terrace Hotel, Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, The Lafayette Hotel and Club, Hotel del Coronado.
Rental Car
Rides
San Diego is pretty spread out. If you are extending your stay beyond the weekend, or you just want to explore, then you may want to rent a car. Otherwise, rideshares can get you around easily for the weekend.
Travel Note
Venue Parking + Traffic
Parking is available for anyone driving to the venue. A campus parking attendant will be on site to distribute passes and assign you to a lot. There are several small lots to choose from. Please consider parking in the farther lots if you are able to make the walk, leaving the closer lots open for any less-mobile guests. Also, traffic into La Jolla backs up quickly on the weekends. Expect to wait an additional 20-30 minutes in traffic. Please consider leaving early with plenty of time to spare.

FAQs
Question
Is this a kid-friendly event?
Answer
We kindly ask that you leave your kids at home for the wedding itself. Children are more than welcome to join for the Friday event.
Question
Is it an open bar?
Answer
Duh.
Question
What's the deal with parking?
Answer
We have access to several parking lots on site. There will be a parking attendant distributing parking passes and assigning you a lot to park in. We have reserved enough spots for everyone at the venue, but some lots are farther than others. Please consider parking in the further lots if you are confidently able to walk the distance, leaving the closer lots for less mobile guests. If you don't want to deal with parking, or want everyone in your party to be able to drink, we recommend using a rideshare app to and from the venue.
Question
Should I be concerned about traffic?
Answer
Yes, traffic traveling into La Jolla is pretty slow on the weekends. Expect to wait an additional 20-30 minutes if you're coming in on the main road. Please allow plenty of extra time to spare for your arrival. If you get there early, you can hang out with us!
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We want everyone to feel good in what they're wearing so they can focus on having fun. If you'd still like more guidance, we'll say vibrant formal casual.
