Things To Do In San Diego: July 21, 2011

When Comic-Con rolls around, everyday of the event feels like the first day of school...there's an excitement about what the day will bring, which means a solid night of sleep is hard to come by even if your whole body is exhausted from head to toe. I tried to sleep, but I hardly feel rested which means I'll probably destroy my body with heavy doses of caffeine to get through the day. I will also need to carve out some time to get you the weekend listings, but that's a whole other problem. Today is gonna be a good day regardless, so get out and enjoy and maybe I'll see you around the Con or come hang with me later tonight at West Coast Tavern.
