Things To Do In San Diego: April 23-24, 2011

Last night I went to Winston's for the first time in like, a dozen years. It was really fun... The Heavy Guilt played a crazy long set, River City had all the hippies stomping, and The Black Sands were pretty great. An older guy hit on me by telling me he was a millionaire and I was going to be his next wife, to which I responded with, "Good, then you won't mind buying my drinks." He thought this gave him license ask for a kiss, to which I responded by talking to his sober friend. O.B. is definitely it's own world. Lots of good stuff tonight and I promise you, get your Head and the Heart tickets online because it's approaching sellout and they're telling their LA fans to buy SD tickets because they sold out the Troubadour show happening on Monday.
