    FRIDAY night's alright for fighting…okay, ELTON JOHN might have to change the words, since his show is tonight at PETCO PARK. Sure, he announced his retirement, but this is a Concert for Cures, a benefit show raising money for cancer research. It might be your last time to see the piano man…err…rocket man. From the biggest artist of the ‘70s, to the biggest play of all time – HAMILTON is at the Civic Theatre DOWNTOWN. See the Lin-Manuel Miranda play everyone’s been talking about for years.

    It’s CINCO DE MAYO weekend, but there’s more than just margaritas and Mexican food that you can enjoy. FRIDAY…if you want to start things off with some sports – The 6th ANNUAL KATHY’S LEGACY GOLF TOURNAMENT at the Twin Oaks Golf Course in SAN MARCOS. It tees off at 9 a.m., and raises funds for children and pets impacted by domestic violence.

    As part of KOGO in the Community, we take a look at the long history of film makiing in San Diego. People assume most films are shot in Los Angeles; often times it’s places like New Mexico or Georgia, for various tax reasons. About 100 miles south of Los Angeles, many movies have been made. In a few months it will be the 11th year the SAN DIEGO FILM AWARDS, which awards films made in San Diego.

    It’s Easter weekend, but you don’t have to just color eggs and eat sticky Cadbury Creme Eggs. And you’re probably not going up to Indio for Coachella. So here’s what you can choose from locally…FRIDAY…former Poway resident and blink-182 member MARK HOPPUS will hop over to the Magnolia Performing Arts, but be warned – you won’t be hearing punk songs. He’s doing spoken word, and talking about his new memoir.

    FRIDAY…the PADRES are back home at Petco Park for their series against the Colorado Rockies. We’ll see how bad these injuries will hurt the team. At the Del Mar Fairgrounds, it’s the VILLAIN ARTS TATTOO FESTIVAL, from 2 to 11 p.m. I’m guessing more people decide on tattoos later in the evening. This convention will have artists, special guests, and lots of entertainment. It’s going on Saturday, too. There’s a SANTANA tribute band in PACIFIC BEACH at the Aquarius Bar and Grill.
