COMIC-CON Comic-Con International returns to the San Diego Convention Center. 2016 marks the 47th year for the show, making it the longest continuously run comics and popular-arts convention in the U.S. With attendance topping 130,000 in recent years in a con- vention center that has maxed out in space, the event has grown to include satellite locations,
including hotels and parks. Many celebrity
appearances, costume com- petitions, art
installa-
tions, lectures, workshops, and the Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival take place outside of the Convention Center, creating a campus- type feel for the convention in down- town San Diego.
WHEN: Thursday, July 21, 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Through Sunday. WHERE: San Diego Convention Center, 111 West Harbor Drive, down- town San Diego.

BLINK-182. The pop- punk trio from Poway is back with a bang. July 1 saw the release of the rebuilt band’s seventh studio set, California,
which debuted at number one on the Billboard charts, selling 200,000 copies despite a lukewarm critical reception. Blink fans don’t read, and they will surely pack the house when singer/bass- ist Mark Hoppus, drummer Travis Barker, and guitar- ist/singer Matt Skiba (formerly of Alkaline Trio) take the stage at Viejas Arena at SDSU on Thursday and Friday nights.
