Things To Do In San Diego: August 27-30, 2012

Happy Monday! I don't know about you, but things feel really good right now. Had I known six months ago that I'd be so happy and peaceful at my new apartment, I might not have resisted moving so much. I was thinking this morning how I'd be awaken by the salon ladies and now though there's the residual construction or car alarm or siren, the calm has really had a positive effect on everything around me. The weather has been gorgeous, there have been some great shows in town, and I just feel really good. There are some amazing shows this week, so be sure to catch Ana Tijoux tonight at the Casbah, Wednesday night has tough choices between The Old 97's at the Belly Up or Blackout Party and a solid lineup at the Casbah, and this week is the return of SoundDiego Live after a summer hiatus. All of this leads up to a killer Labor Day weekend with M83, FYF Fest, Tallest Man on Earth at Birch North Park Theatre and one of my all time favorites, Two Gallants, at the Casbah. Enjoy the week! Monday through Thursday archives are after the jump.
