Things To Do In San Diego: April 20-23, 2012

I'm off to Coachella and I have never felt so ill-prepared for a trip, but whatever. I hope you all take advantage of Adams Avenue Unplugged this weekend, and I'm a little bummed I'm gonna miss it, especially since it is the last event on the street while I live in this place.
