Things To Do In San Diego: July 3-5, 2012

It's the eve of Independence Day and there is so much fun to be had today. I don't know why I woke up at 5am today, but I've decided to let my body decide when I sleep and when I wake and just roll with it. I was gonna share some newsy stuff, but they warrant their own post, so I'll get to that in a second, but what I will just say that there will be DUI checkpoints all over the city through the weekend. Be safe tonight, kids. Cabs are a lot cheaper than being arrested. Tuesday -Thursday archives are after the jump.
