Things To Do In San Diego: June 23-25, 2012

It's a gorgeous day in San Diego so I'm about to head to OB and hopefully the parking gods will be with us. This week was just awesome and last night was a blast hopping around from Lincoln Room to the Propagandist and that super fun show with Quintron and Ms Pussycat at the Casbah. I'm working at the Soda Bar tonight, so say hi. I would especially like to invite the troll, SD Music Lover, to come say what you wrote to my face. Anonymous insults don't get published on this site, so step up. Archives from the weekend are after the jump.
