Things To Do In San Diego: April 11-14, 2013

Oh, man. Last night with The Evens at the Irenic was so cool, and some of you even got your tickets taken by my little helper, Nova, who also had a blast at the show. I will update and organize these listings a little better before the weekend, but I wanted to get them posted since I'll be babysitting Zane again today while his awesome mom gets to work on her first national TV spot. So I'll be spending the day chasing an active one-year-old around the house and probably another trip to the Zoo and/or Balboa Park is in order. We're also meeting tonight about the North Park Festival of Arts, which I'm SO HAPPY is finally all booked. Anyway, Thursday through Sunday archives are after the jump.
