Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin are coming to San Diego for the 2008 World Tour of Gymnastics. Come to the San Diego Sports Arena (IpayOne) for the event. Here is some info from wikipedia:
To the Ancient Greeks, physical fitness was paramount, and all Greek cities had a gymnasia, a courtyard for jumping, running, and wrestling. As the Roman Empire ascended, Greek gymnastics gave way to military training. The Romans, for example, introduced the wooden horse. In 393 AD the Emperor Theodosius abolished the Olympic Games, which by then had become corrupt, and gymnastics, along with other sports declined. Later, Christianity, with its medieval belief in the base nature of the human body, had a deleterious effect on gymnastics. For centuries, gymnastics was all but forgotten

Peters’ comedy focuses largely around his Canadian upbringing and racial stereotypes, as he often parodies his parents and South Asian culture. Much of his material explores the cultural divides between many different ethnicities and upbringings in a way that includes many impressions. One reason for his popularity is that he engages the audience at his shows, by talking to individuals and making some sort of remark at, or about them.

One Night Stand is an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). For the first two years the event featured wrestlers from the former Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) promotion, whose holdings WWE purchased in bankruptcy court, and was promoted under the ECW initials. The 2005 show was a tribute show to the original ECW, with most of the match participants being ECW alumni including those who were not under contract with WWE at the time. The 2006 edition, however, marked the kickoff to WWE’s new ECW brand. While the 2007 edition became a tri-branded pay per view, the event’s roots were retained as every match took place under Extreme Rules

Heading to Sea World are you? That’s cool. It’s a pretty fun place the first time. (We got annual passes one year and discovered the fun wears out pretty fast on the third visit and beyond in a year.) Anyway, here is the best source I have found for getting tickets online. Tickets ain’t cheap though — at $61 per adult ($52 per child) you need to be prepared. I guess it isn’t that much compared to Disneyland, but I know Disneyland and you Sea World are no Disneyland. (Sea World seems more comparable to the San Diego Zoo to me and they are only charging $32 per adult fer cryin’ out loud!)
Anyway, don’t let me discourage you from going to Sea World or anything. It really is a good time and the shows make for great family fun.
BTW – Bring some extra dough for parking. If I remember correctly that ain’t cheap either.
So you’re coming to San Diego and you need Wild Animal Park tickets, eh? Well we’ll try to help you out.
First, let me commend you for even looking for Wild Animal Park tickets. The zoo gets all the glory but the Wild Animal Park is right up there in the same league as the zoo but gets a lot less of the glory. The Tram ride around the Escondido Veldt is the highlight of the Wild Animal Park in my opinion, but others think the shows are the best part. I guess you can be the judge.
There are a couple ways to get your hands on San Diego Wild Animal Park tickets. One thing you could do is walk up and buy them on the spot. The park usually doesn’t sell out from what I can tell. Of course the problem with that is that a lot of other people do the same thing so instead of parking and walking right in to the zoo you might find yourself waiting in a 45 minute line out front while looking longingly at all these folks who somehow got their hands on tickets in advance. And if you have little kids (or older kids or adults for that matter) in tow that can, well, suck; so one good way to make the day at San Diego Wild Animal Park run more smoothly is to buy your tickets in advance. That way you can stroll right in and rush to the lions or tigers or bears (Oh… no I won’t say it) exhibits or whatever and totally avoid that 45 minutes of entertaining squirmy little young’n’s out front. Plus it will make you look cool — like you’re one of those locals who has an annual pass or something. Of course if you dress like you’re from Missouri or whatever it might be hard to pull off the “I’m a cool local surfer-type” ruse… but at least you’ll get in quickly, right? 
Here is the best resource I have found to purchase San Diego Wild Animal Park tickets online. Tickets are going for $28.50 for adults and $17.50 for kids. Sometimes they have discount tickets but I haven’t yet figured out how to consistently get those. Try here if you’d like a package that includes transport to and from your San Diego hotel. (It’s about $15 extra per person).
PS – If you come to town a lot or are a local you might want to buy an annual pass. The the pass usually appies to both the Wild Animal Park and the San Diego Zoo and both are pretty fun to visit over and over I think.
PPS – If you need a hotel in the area here is a link to the Holiday Inns around that area. They do a nice job.
PPPs – Escondido often is 15-20 degrees hotter than the coast in the summer so be prepared…

So you’re coming to San Diego and you need Zoo tickets, eh? Well we’ll try to help you out.

Here is the best resource I have found to purchase San Diego zoo tickets online. Sometimes they have discount San Diego zoo tickets but I haven’t yet figured out how to consistently get those. The price is $32 per adult and $19.75 for children (apparently $19.75 is more palatable than $20 per child for whatever reason…). If you’re staying at a San Diego hotle and you don’t want to drive here a a deal where a shuttle picks you up at your hotel at 9:00 and takes you home at 4:00. It costs about $12 extra per head. And here is a deal where they include transport from LA and back as part of a zoo package. It is about $40 extra per head.
PS – If you come to town a lot or are a local you might want to buy an annual pass. The zoo is pretty fun to visit over and over I think.
