Things To Do In San Diego: May 27-29, 2011

It's a holiday weekend, which means there are tons of awesome events all over town by day or by night. I'll be taking another roadtrip up to LA tonight, this time with The Heavy Guilt who are playing at the Mint. I'm sure you'll all hold down the fort at the sold out Transfer show or with the great bands at the Belly Up and other places around town. Saturday and Sunday listings are after the jump if you click 'keep on reading'.
