Things To Do In San Diego: June 24-26, 2011

I'm really sorry these took me so long to post. I just didn't have another all nighter in me last night and I allowed myself more than four hours of sleep. This weekend is gonna be a good one, especially if this weather stays exactly as it is. Between the Belly Up and Casbah tonight, the OB street fair and some cool shows tomorrow, and brunch at West Coast Tavern and The Spirits Festival and the free Casbah show that night, doesn't look like I'll be getting much rest this weekend. Saturday and Sunday listings are after the jump.
