This day in history
On this day in 1972, SoCal residents faced rainy weather as well — so much so that the Padres’ home game against the Pittsburgh Pirates was rained out on June 5 and 6.
Things to do
All this potentially wet and gloomy weather this week could lead to a few ideas for a good indoor excursion, such as:
- Comedy at The Bourbon Room: On Tuesday, watch two comedy shows that support two nonprofits, Stand Up for Pits and Sharing Love with Others. Wax Poetics, hosted by comedian and producer Keida Mascaro, is headlined by Iliza Shlesinger. I’m a Basshole is a hybrid storytelling/standup show hosted by Doug Bass and features headliner Tom Arnold.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
