Things To Do In San Diego: August 5, 2008

Because I had the time, I added a few venues that aren't normally in my listings (Kava, Bitter End, Hensley's Flying Elephant, etc.) O'Connell's still hasn't updated, so you're on your own there. If there's shows I missed that you think I should list, please e-mail me and I'll update when I can. Weekend listings if you click 'keep on reading'. I hope to get some writing in this week, and perhaps get through the dozens of press releases I have just sitting in my inbox. Honestly, the only show I'm committing to is on Sunday and it's gonna be a great one. Or, The Whale just sent me their album and I'm loving it, and since I missed The Silent Comedy at U-31 for NXNP, it will be great to see them again...and of course my boys in Hotel St. George are opening. The rest of the week there are plenty of options, I'm just gonna go with the flow and not make any commitments.
