Things To Do In San Diego: November 6-8, 2013

It has been such a busy week that I barely mentioned that this Friday night, we'll be celebrating the 7th Anniversary of San Diego: Dialed In. I had no plan when I started this little site seven years ago and I've sort of let it follow its own trajectory over the years- writing reviews when people read them, posting photos and video when people wanted to see them, writing long winded diaries when I needed to vent, and lately featuring previews and reviews from a team of music fans who make all of this still possible. Behind the scenes, I juggle my Casbah responsibilities with my daily listings on SoundDiego, am helping get Darren's Van off the ground, trying to staying on top of local politics and launching San Diego: Cycled In to keep up on some bike news, babysitting, taking on a beertending job at Qualcomm Stadium, all the while being in a relationship with a man and his daughter who have in no small way changed my life and priorities. And my laptop is still broken. So things are a little crazy and hopefully you still come here to find out what's going on in this city, even if sometimes my news comes a little slower than it once did. The anniversary party is going to be a great show with Rubblebucket, The Heavy Guilt, and Grampa Drew and the Gutstring Girls at the Casbah and I would love to see some of your pretty faces at the show. Listings for the rest of the week. Wednesday through Friday archives after the jump.
