Things To Do In San Diego: August 31-September 3, 2012

It has been a great week in San Diego and this weekend is jam-packed with fun events, great shows, and 8 foot waves. It also brings DUI checkpoints, so be safe out there and designate a driver or call a cab, maybe even try Uber. I'm heading out to Soma so hopefully I see some of your pretty faces there. The show is sold out, as is the Tallest Man On Earth this Sunday, but I'm sure you'll have no problem finding alternative activities. Have a great weekend! Listings are after the jump.
