Things To Do In San Diego: October 8, 2011

My wi-fi has been messing with me so I wanted to get these posted as soon as I could. There is so much going on tonight and I have to say, as a blogger, it really means a lot to get personal messages from bands every once in a while, so while I'll be working tonight at The Album Leaf show at the Lafayette Hotel (tickets are still available...doors at 9pm), there are so many rad shows that I can't tell ya where ya ought to be, but I will say that 12 Dirty Bullets are all the way from the UK and just hit #21 on some radio/industry buzz chart and they're at Eleven tonight. Vanish Valley sent a super sweet email and they're at Tin Can tonight. Mucca Pazza is one of my favorite Casbah shows of all time just for the sheer fun and surprise of the performance and they're at Soda Bar tonight. So much goodness, hopefully you can hop around town. The Album Leaf have been selling out this tour across the country so I'm happy to see Jimmy and the boys tonight, but I'll be looking for some trouble to get into after the show wraps up.
