Things To Do In San Diego: May 18-20, 2012

It's Friday and I'm a little bummed out by the timing of this move because there are so many great shows this weekend plus I'm stage producing the Antengo mainstage at the North Park Festival of Arts and I feel like I've been so absent minded. I'm hoping to have wi-fi up at my new place by late Friday and I'll be hopping back and forth between the two apartments as I try and get all of my crap sorted, but in the meantime, Jeff was kind enough to get the weekend listings done. He did an incredibly thorough job (as he always does), but he's not on Facebook, so if there are any events we missed, add them to the comments and I'll try to update as I can. Thank you all for being patient with me and especially the friends who've helped or offered to help me move. I genuinely couldn't do it without you. Archives after the jump.
