Things To Do In San Diego: September 6-11, 2013

When your "desk" is your bed, and your laptop actually sits on your lap, it seems impossible to work in a studio apartment with no a/c. So I posted the listings yesterday then split to an afternoon at the beach and then realized there were a ton of events that I didn't add. I've updated, and now I think I really have you covered for the weekend. Thanks for all the positive response for Justin Roberts tomorrow at the Irenic, and keep spreading the word to your friends with little ones. It's the perfect way to reward the kiddos for surviving their first week of school (for SD Unified, anyway). I also wanted to mention that Darren's Van will be back on the road this weekend, and I'll be with him except Sunday when I'm working at the Casbah. If you and your friends need rides to DMB, Kid Cudi, Blues Fest, Russell Brand, Treasure Chest Fest, Intervention or any of the other big events this weekend, hit us up. We can carry up to 8 passengers, but can also pick up individuals or small groups. Cheaper than a cab all the way around. We have a bike rack for up to 3 bikes, too, if you and your North Park friends just need to get to the beach. (But call ahead, we don't leave it on the van all night). Friday through Wednesday archives after the jump.
