The Eight: Reindeer Monologues

Santa’s reindeer tell all in this exposé of the North Pole. Through each reindeer’s confession, the truth behind the shocking allegations becomes clearer and clearer, and seems to implicate everyone, from the littlest elf to the tainted Saint himself. Intended for mature audiences.

San Diego Bay Parade of Lights

The parade brings more than 100,000 San Diego residents and visitors to the shores of San Diego Bay to watch approximately 80 decorated boats go sailing by. This year’s theme: “Comic-Con on the Bay.” The parade starts at Shelter Island then proceeds to Harbor Island, the Embarcadero, Seaport Village, the Pier at Cesar Chavez Park, and ends at the Ferry Landing in Coronado. The boats take about an hour to pass any given point, and there are many waterfront viewpoints along the route.
