Things To Do In San Diego: February 29-March 1, 2012

It's Leap Day and though I'm running on just a few hours sleep, I've been back into an all-nighter groove because I'm trying to stay on top of all of the things that I can control and trying to worry less about the things that I can't change. Sounds like AA. But seriously, I got a glimmer of good news today in that after I was rejected for a SXSW press badge, I appealed and at least got a wristband which means I'm going to have to bust some serious ass to try to make Texas really happen for me. I suppose I also decided that I'm gonna fight my housing situation as long as I can. I hope everyone has a great time wherever you might go tonight, though I think I'm gonna stay bunked up. It seems to be the best thing for me at the moment, though I suppose I still have a couple hours to think about it and possibly change my mind. Wednesday and Thursday archives are after the jump. Apologies to The Griffin for missing tonight's free show on the listings, it has been added now.
