Things To Do In San Diego: August 1, 2008

Hooray! I have the day off! So yes, I was up all night trying to catch up on blog posts, video and picture uploads, and reading e-mail press releases. I'll try to get to posting more later today, but I guess I should finally get to some cleaning, and try to get at least some form of a nap before seeing the Hold Steady in a private lunchtime show.
