Things To Do In San Diego: May 4-7, 2013

I'm sitting in the Casbah office at the moment so I thought I'd update the listings because I'm a big jerk and failed to wish my great friend Mr. Tim Pyles a happy birthday. He's my partner in crime a lot of the time and everyone knows that without him, the music scene in San Diego would flounder. I was supposed to work at Brick By Brick tonight but apparently they have a merch dude on tour with them, so I get a night off. Yay! Saturday through Tuesday archives are after the jump. There are DUI checkpoints everywhere tonight, so be safe out there.
