Things To Do In San Diego: December 4-5, 2013

My favorite thing in San Diego has to be how few days of rain we get here and how pretty much every forecast gets it wrong every time. I know they have radar and satellites and all kinds of cool gadgets, and not that yesterday was "rain", but any precipitation in the sky matters on the roads and it would just be nice if they looked outside every once in a while. I was up at the ass crack of dawn but was exempted from jury duty after checkin, so it was a lovely afternoon with Darren and Nova, all drizzly and whatnot. As I said earlier in the week, I'm super busy this week and probably going to have to sacrifice some shows, but what can you do sometimes? Weekend listings came in early this week (Thanks, Jordan), so you can start planning accordingly. Wednesday and Thursday archives are after the jump.
