Why San Diego Might Just Be the Coolest City in America
San Diego is that laid-back, sun-drenched friend who somehow has it all and still doesn’t brag. It’s where the tacos are as legit as the sunsets, where surfers, scientists, and street performers coexist like it’s no big deal. The kind of city that makes you wonder why the hell we ever hosted MicroCon anywhere else. It’s got grit and polish, edge and ease. You could spend the morning watching Navy ships glide by in the bay, the afternoon climbing cliffs in La Jolla, and the evening stuffing your face with birria before catching a show in a dive bar with a sticky floor. San Diego doesn’t scream—she smirks. And once you get it, you really get it.
Here are ten things you’d be crazy to miss:
• Coronado Island – A ferry ride, a beach that sparkles (literally), and the iconic Hotel del Coronado—haunted, glamorous, and oozing with history.
• Balboa Park – Museums, gardens, buskers, and enough old Spanish architecture to make your camera weep with joy.
• San Diego Zoo – Not just any zoo. The zoo. Legendary, world-class, and way more fun than you’d expect for a place without beer.
• La Jolla Cove – Seals, sunsets, sea caves, and views that punch you in the gut with beauty.
• USS Midway Museum – A floating beast of American history you can actually climb aboard. Bring your inner Top Gun.
• Gaslamp Quarter – Victorian buildings, rooftop bars, and the kind of nightlife that starts classy and ends blurry.
• A Cruise on The San Diego Bay – Hop on a boat and cruise the bay, where the skyline glows, the breeze tastes like salt, and the view could make a grown man cry. And a yacht on the water is exactly where MicroCon 27 throws its gala. More info HERE.
• A Trip Across the Line – San Diego doesn’t just flirt with the border—it’s practically making out with it. Fifteen minutes south and you’re in a whole different universe, where the tacos are hotter, the rules are looser, and the story takes a wild turn. More info on our México day-trip HERE.
San Diego’s Premier Venue
Only 120 seats. That’s it. No overflow room, no second chance. This is the most exclusive, most cinematic, most “holy sh*t, we’re really doing this” MicroCon venue yet. And it’s gonna sell out faster than you can say “sovereign nation.”
This isn’t some beige-carpeted ballroom at the airport Marriott with flickering fluorescent lights and sad coffee. The Ultimate Skybox is exactly what it sounds like—perched on the 15th floor of the DiamondView Tower, high above downtown San Diego, with jaw-dropping views of the city, the ocean, and Petco Park so close you can hear the crack of the bat. It’s got indoor-outdoor flow, its own bar, its own kitchen, and the kind of vibe that makes you feel like you’ve made it—even if you printed your passport at Kinko’s.
The Ultimate Skybox, atop the DiamondView Tower, is located at 350 Tenth Ave in downtown San Diego. There are nearly 100 lodging choices all within walking distance.
Additional Info
• 120 seats max – this will sell out well in advance!
• Outdoor space for breaks with ridiculous views.
• Lunch plus coffee, tea, water and bites throughout the day – breakfast is not included.
• Minimal space for Micronational displays – details to be announced.
Getting here…
Let’s be honest: If you’re coming to MicroCon 27, you’re not just attending a convention—you’re embarking on a pilgrimage. And every pilgrimage starts with a journey. San Diego International Airport (SAN) is your golden ticket. It’s not just convenient—it’s stupid close. Five-minute Uber kind of close. You’ll land, blink, and find yourself clinking glasses with other micronational misfits in no time. But hey, that’s not the only way in. There’s more than one road to the empire.
The Routes to Your Kingdom:
- ✈️ San Diego International Airport (SAN)
Your best bet. Compact, easy, and practically spitting distance from the venue. You’ll be in line for your Slowjamastani passport stamp before your plane’s wheels cool off. - ✈️ Tijuana International Airport (TIJ)
For our globe-trotters and budget-savvy sovereigns. Often cheaper than flying into SAN—and here’s the kicker—you don’t even have to set foot in Tijuana. The Cross Border Xpress (CBX) pedestrian bridge lets you land in México and walk straight into San Diego like a total badass. One minute you’re in another country, the next you’re Instagramming ceviche in Little Italy. Rad. - ✈️ Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
Yeah, it’s LAX. It’s chaos. But sometimes the airfare is worth it. And once you escape the madness, you can hop on the Pacific Surfliner train and ride the coast all the way down to downtown San Diego. Ocean views, cold beer, and a smooth ride into the heart of MicroCon. Not a bad way to arrive.
No matter how you get here—by wing, rail, or sheer force of will—just get here. MicroCon 27 awaits.
Sultan’s Tip:
Look, San Diego isn’t just where the conference happens. It’s a whole postcard. If you’ve made it this far, don’t be an amateur. The Sultan says: tack on a few extra days. Three before, three after. Linger. Eat fish tacos with your feet in the sand. Wander aimlessly. This place has everything—sun, surf, street tacos, and soul. You’re already here—might as well squeeze the marrow out of it.
