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

The internet is on fire today. Rocket From The Crypt tickets went onsale at noon and were sold out by 12:01pm. People are in disbelief, but 85 lucky people snagged the 200 tickets that fast. I messed up thinking there were 50 tickets left and got some hostility in my direction, but shit happens. There were 200 tickets, they're gone. I wonder if people think somehow the Casbah can magically accommodate 1000 people, or that they are somehow a bigger fan than everyone else and thus entitled to tickets before some lesser fan. Regardless, if you want to see some serious hating going on, check out the Casbah's Facebook wall. This weekend has a lot going on and I didn't feel like posting all of the tree-lightings and events, but San Diego Bargain Mama has a pretty thorough calendar, as does Ranch & Coast Magazine for North County holiday happenings. I'm a little sad I won't be going to either of the 91X shows- didn't get tickets for tonight and I'm working on Sunday- but this weekend will be jam-packed anyway. I'm working for Fu Manchu tomorrow, beertending for the Chargers on Sunday, then working the Professor Blastoff show at the Irenic on Sunday night.Friday through Sunday archives are after the jump.
