Things To Do In San Diego: February 15-18, 2013

There used to be a time when people would say things like "when do you sleep?" or "how do you go out every night?" and it really wasn't that big of a deal because if your really think about it, even if I went out every night of the week, it would pretty much be from about 9pm til 2am or so. The rest of my days were pretty much devoted to sleeping and laptopping, with some eating, cleaning and showering thrown in between. These days, I have a lot more work but also a lot more play and my sleep hours have seriously taken a hit. This weekend has some amazing shows, but don't hold it against me if I stay home a bit to catch some Z's. Tonight, however, you can find me at the Belly Up for Ra Ra Riot. I'll also be shooting an interview with the band for SoundDiego, so I'll be sure to let you all know when it is going to air. Friday through Monday archives are after the jump.
