Things To Do In San Diego: May 26-28, 2012

I know I've been pretty absent here lately, but I wanted to just take a deep breath and catch up for a second. My landlord allowed me one extra day at my old place so I'll be cleaning today (waste of a perfect day if you ask me) but then I'm done and can get back to living my real life. Last night was super awesome and it was so good to catch up with so many good friends that I don't get to see nearly enough. The funny thing is that Pyles came to my new pad the other day and joked that "four guys could still crash here if you bring a band home" and though I laughed at the thought, last night Dinosaur Feathers from Brooklyn crashed here. There were only three of them, but still super sweet guys who just preferred a roof over their heads than sleeping in their car. They're off to Phoenix today, so I hope the rest of their tour with Margot goes well. Anyway, thanks for putting up with me lately. Listings for Sunday through Thursday are after the jump.
