Things To Do In San Diego: May 24-27, 2013

Oh, my goodness! What a great week it has been in San Diego! The weather has been perfect which means that I've spent more time babysitting and hanging out at the San Diego Zoo and several parks than I have at bars and shows. Still, the Casbah rocked last night and there are so many rad shows this weekend that I will be seeing that even if I'm not delivering photos and video, you know I'll just be there rocking it out. There are some things you should know: the Casbah is giving out tickets and meet&greet passes for Fiction Family on Monday via Facebook and Twitter, the Casbah presents shows at the Belly Up are all selling swiftly and will all sell out before show dates (Little Hurricane 5/31, Chvrches 6/2, Palms 7/10, Peter Murphy 7/28, The Heavy 8/5, Godspeed You! Black Emperor 9/15, Conor Oberst 10/8),  FM 94/9 SPF is almost sold out, and it is Memorial Day weekend so there are going to be DUI checkpoints everywhere. Spend the money for a cab (Darren is working all weekend) or Uber or the bus or whatever. Weekend archives are after the jump.
