Things To Do In San Diego: September 14-17, 2012

As you can tell from my posts, I've been pretty busy with the bloggy blog, but that's only because I was being such a slacker the past couple weeks and it occurred to me that I better have something to show for myself this weekend. I fell back into a terrible sleep pattern, so Wednesday's all-nighter turned into a too-long afternoon nap yesterday, so I used Thursday's all-nighter to get through all of my email (finally!!) so I should be good to go at the Music Thing if I can find an afternoon nap at some point. I mentioned yesterday that the San Diego Music Thing website isn't quite smart-phone friendly, so I posted all of the WORKSHOP TIMES and MUSIC SHOWCASES so you can see them on your phone with ease. I also noticed that this weekend there is the San Diego Bayfair at Misson Bay, the Spirits of Mexico Festival in Old Town, Coronado Art Walk at the Ferry Landing in Coronado, and the Taste 2012 kickoff to San Diego Restaurant Week tonight at the Broadway Pier, so you can investigate those further at the links. I'm going to put all of the listings after the jump, so just click 'read more' to see them all. I probably won't be updating these again throughout the weekend unless it turns out I missed something crucial.
