Things To Do In San Diego: January 26-27, 2008

Sooo, I chose sleep over ASR. If you were at the Casbah last night, you know we witnessed an amazing show. I can't wait to post the pictures and video clips that I captured, but I'm still on low laptop juice and have to save it for my CityBeat piece that I'll be writing later. I think after all the drama with Local's Only, people might like the new direction the section is gonna take, so be fair and give it a chance. Anyway, here's the stuff for the rest of the weekend. I should just take a sleeping bag to the Casbah, I swear. Big loves and happy weekending.
