Things To Do In San Diego: July 30-August 2, 2012

I hope you were able to enjoy the weekend because our San Diego weather doesn't really get much better. In fact, I'm taking today off and am going to spend the day and night at the San Diego Zoo since my pass expires at the end of July. It should be super exciting around the Zoo as they celebrate the birth of Bai Yun and Gao Gao's sixth cub (though obviously mom and babe will be off display) and probably more crowded than I'd hope when we had already planned on using the soon-to-expire passes, but it should be fun showing Chase the zoo for his first time ever. This week in music is super awesome, especially at the Casbah with Natalie Kardos' going away party on Wednesday before she moves to Seattle this weekend and the amazing lineup of Murder By Death, Cory Chisel, and Ha Ha Tonka on Thursday. On a side note, Jeff did these listings last week, so I know a lot of the bars/clubs don't get their calendars up with much advance, so if I missed any events, please let me know. Monday through Thursday archives are after the jump.
