Things To Do In San Diego: November 3-5, 2013

I'm a little bit embarassed to admit that I was in bed by 9pm last night. Darren and I had a big date night Wednesday and I'll just say, it ain't easy keeping up with Mike Beebe. We went to the early Casbah show with Federico Aubele, then met up with The Beebe at Ritual Kitchen, then popped into Toronado, and closed the night at Red Wing for karaoke. Fun times, but Thursday was non-stop go go go as we carved pumpkins at the Casbah, and ran errands which ultimately ended with us Trick-or-Treating in La Mesa near Nova's school. I got home around 8:30 with the intent to go to SoundDiego Live, and then completely zonked out until about 11, at which point going out was just not going to happen. I have a lot of catching up to do but that may or may not happen this weekend, but for those of you who have asked, the 7th Anniversary of this site is just around the corner, and I've hijacked the Rubblebucket, The Heavy Guilt, and Grampadrew show at the Casbah on November 8 to celebrate. This one is going to sell out, so don't wait to grab tickets. It's Beer Week and Dia De Los Infantes/Muertos this weekend, so get out and have some fun, and as always, Darren's Van will be in service, so call him at 619.990.5064 if you need him.
