Things To Do In San Diego: April 12, 2012

For those of you not heading to the desert this weekend, there are plenty of options here at home that should keep your need for live music satiated. I'll be all over town, with my loose plans to check out Chairlift tonight, The Propagandist on Friday for Martin's birthday, and the Mile of Music on Saturday. I'll also be selling merch for The Rapture at the Irenic on Saturday night and for Face To Face at the Casbah on Sunday. Note that the Casbah added a second Face to Face show on Sunday and tickets are onsale now. Thursday archives are after the jump.
