Things To Do In San Diego: February 24-26, 2012

Okay, I'm finally done with the weekend listings. (Again, thanks to Jeff for doing Friday). I am not gonna lie, lately I pretty much feel like everyday something else kicks me in the teeth and today is no exception. If anyone knows any brilliant/legal ways to make about $3k in 3 weeks (for eviction/moving expenses & holding onto the fantasy that I'm attending SXSW 2012), let me know. I honestly don't know how I would exist without music to keep me from completely sinking. Sorry to be a downer, but shit is getting real. See you tonight at the Whistle Stop. Friday through Sunday archives are after the jump.
