Things To Do In San Diego: September 18-20, 2012

The weekend was just jam packed with greatness. I did the San Diego Music Thing, The Walkmen at House of Blues, FM 94/9's Independence Jam, Pants Karaoke at Eleven (which was especially awesome this week as it was hosted by Rob Crow so Scotty Pants could enjoy his birthday), and though I try to take Mondays off (read: sleep), yesterday I was bright eyed and bushy tailed and after breakfast (!!! I was up early enough to make breakfast!!!), I enjoyed the beautiful day with a jaunt to Lestat's and Darren and I discovered that there is a ping pong table at the very air conditioned Adams Avenue Rec Center. (Last week we went to three different rec centers to find they didn't have ping pong or really anything to offer besides open basketball. Adams Avenue Rec Center is open M-F, noon-8pm, and totally free! Mark was the attendant and played some games with us. They have equipment but I recommend taking your own balls, just in case. ) After that, I spent SEVEN hours putting together my San Diego Music Thing notes into my post, so I hope that you take the time to read through it all and maybe check out the links because there was so much great information. Around 10:30 I was done laptopping and headed to Eleven to catch Jeans Wilder and Barbarian (who are both amazing) while enjoying $3 pints of Monkey Paw's Ryemenocerous rye pilsner. So yes, things are good, things are cookin', and there's so much more to look forward to this great month. Tuesday-Thursday archives are after the jump.
