Things To Do In San Diego: August 23-26, 2013

I mentioned last week that I've been having some computer issues. This entire week has left me in complete meltdown mode, so I attempted to backup all of my files only to find that nothing transferred. I'm using Darren's laptop for the time being, but I'm open to suggestions from any of my tech-inclined friends. Listings through next Thursday are here, I hope to update with additions as I find them, but here's the basics for now. Friday through Monday Archives after the jump.
