I've just discovered that the Southwest Airlines ticket that I have from a cancelled flight expires May 26 instead of sometime in July, so I think I'm going to hop over to San Diego for the weekend, Friday, May 12 - Sunday, May 14.

I'm hoping to

a) go to the contra dance Saturday night and call a dance or 2 to audition (they won't hire unknown folks without them having called there -- makes it a bit tricky for an out of towner),

b) maybe do some museums or the zoo on my own pace without the constraints of the offspring,

c) stay with a dancer or other folkie who can get me to the dance

Any other folk musical opportunities I could reach by public transport?

To paraphrase and expand on something I saw on a band's site today: I'm fully house-trained and rather quiet, can bring own sleeping bag, tolerate any pets or children, like to sing (especially English & Anglo-American trad songs & Sacred Harp), play a little clawhammer banjo and English concertina.
