Things To Do In San Diego: December 29, 2014 -January 4, 2015

I managed to carve out time to get this week's listings started. I say "started" because though I did them through Sunday, there are still some calendars for venues who haven't updated past NYE. As for New Year's, I didn't link to many of Wednesday's events because (A) I have loyalty to the Casbah and our event at The North Park Theatre, (B) because there are a ton of events that are for people who would never ever read this site regularly, and (C) because for me, family is always first, and with my dad still hospitalized (though doing unbelievably well compared to last week) and Darren's mom and nephews in town, I just don't have the time. Hopefully you can figure out something fun and buy tickets/make reservations accordingly. Monday through Sunday archives are after the jump.

Things To Do In San Diego: December 26-28, 2014

This week my lovely friend Tim Pyles posted about my site on 91X.com and there's definitely been more traffic here, so if you're new around here, listings for the weekend are below. For my friends and family that have been around for a while, I can say this Christmas has definitely brought the unexpected, as my dad has been hospitalized since Monday. It was looking pretty dire, but he's hanging on and talking and alert and he's looking much better than he did in the beginning of the week. Yesterday we brought Christmas to him until he was pretty exhausted and overstimulated, and then my mom stayed with him and we did dinner at my parents' house with just the kids. I'll try to update as I can. Friday through Sunday archives are after the jump.

Things To Do In San Diego: December 22-25, 2014

Christmas is here! It was such a great weekend. I saw The Pastorela at the Lyceum on Friday, then had a blast at the Casbah for Ziggy Shuffledust and the Spiders From Mars. Saturday was pretty sweet at the Hideout with Eric Canzona & The Narrows, and Sunday was a day of shopping and wrapping and geting ready for the holiday. We're celebrating Christmas on Monday with Nova and I'm also looking forward to lots of family time later this week. Listings for Monday through Thursday archives are after the jump.

Things To Do In San Diego: December 19-21, 2014

This week kicked off with the Ryan Adams show, and despite the idiot couple who puked in the seat behind me, all was mostly forgotten as he played his two hour set. This week I also went to my Dave & Buster's for my nephew's birthday, went to Jungle Bells at the San Diego Zoo, caught Francisco The Man at Soda Bar, attempted a second trip to Adobe Falls, and also had some nice home time as it rained earlier in the week. And also, Serial ended, so I can get back to my life now. In case you hadn't heard, Lucinda Williams is playing The North Park Theatre on February 21. Tickets are on sale today at 10am if you didn't get the presale. The Casbah event at Silo was cancelled. We also announced two shows with The Growlers at the Belly Up coming up on Monday and Tuesday, so make sure you grab your tickets. Saturday and Sunday listings are after the jump.

Things To Do In San Diego: December 14-18, 2014

It's Sunday and today is Josh Damigo's first day as the host of the local show on KPRI, TJ's debut as permanent host on FM 94/9, so I thought I'd post my weekday listings a little early since. It has been a pretty awesome weekend so far and I'm presuming Darren will want some karaoke action tonight since he won't be able to do Ryan Adams with me tomorrow. Sunday through Thursday arvhives are after the jump.

Things To Do In San Diego: December 12-13, 2014

It was a great but exhausting week. The North Park Theatre and Casbah had me plenty busy as we announce tons of 2015 shows and try to make sure we get the information out and the onsales to work properly. Darren and I made a last minute decision to go to LA for tUne-yArds at The Wiltern and it was pretty great, since our friend Jake is tour manager and put us on the list with passes to the after show. But man, it is not cheap to go to a show, even when it's free. We got a hotel ($115), bought some beers and shots at the venue ($79 for 4 beers and 2 shots), then had drinks after ($48 for 4 small craft beers and 2 shots), plus Lyfting to and from the show ($18) not to mention gas, time on the road, etc., but it was definitely a fun adventure and better than any Christmas gifts we could offer each other. This weekend is going to be jam packed, with Wrex, Allah-Las, our NBC holiday party, College, and lots of work to catch up on. Friday and Saturday archives are after the jump.

Things To Do In San Diego: December 8-11, 2014

I love December. I kinda can't believe we haven't gotten our tree yet because I've been ready since before Thanksgiving but we have just been so busy. We had a good weekend with an awesome night at the Merrow for the Al Howard Spectacular and then Saturday I worked at Brick By Brick and closed the night at Ken Club because it always feels like home during the holidays. This week we are announcing two massive shows at The North Park Theatre so make sure you're signed up on for our newsletter. Monday through Thursday archives are after the jump.

Things To Do In San Diego: December 5-7, 2014

I am really looking forward to the weekend. After laying low for the better part of a week with a stupid cough and cold, I'm ready to get out after dark. I can't complain about the week, however, because of course it rained, and as an occasional River Rescuer, it was awesome to see water flowing through Mission Trails during a misty day hike and then again as we may or may have not trespassed to Adobe Falls. If we had, it was probably a muddy hike but probably the coolest thing ever with so much water flowing through the San Diego River. We also had some good family time despite the completely disappointing Coronado Holiday b.s. (TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS PER PERSON TO SKATE AND ADULT IS REQUIRED WITH CHILDREN UNDER 12!!!), and got to see my sister dance at her high school which was super impressive. Still, I'm looking forward to some good music and perhaps some adult beverages while we spend the weekend organizing, shopping, working, and choosing and decorating our tree. Let me know if anyone has any crashable corporate Christmas parties. Those are my favorite. Friday through Sunday archives are after the jump.

Acoustic with ChannelSound: The Burning of Rome "Melina"

This video came to me via ChannelSound, a video production company located here in San Diego. They shoot stripped down, acoustic videos with artists in a variety of locations. They shot this video of The Burning of Rome at Kensington Video. Be sure to see The Burning of Rome with Barbarian and Low Volts at SILO at Maker's Quarter on December 21 for the Casbah 25 Holiday Wrap Party presented by 91X and CityBeat. Tickets are available here.

Holiday Things To Do In San Diego


Speaker of the Assembly, Toni Atkins, has a very thorough newsletter. Some staffer or intern put a lot of time into collecting these events, and in no way am I trying to claim that this is my work, but they did a really good job and one would hope that the point of including these in the newsletter is to get the word out about free family events throughout the 78th District and County. I'll sprinkle in more as I find them. [I've already updated this 3 times today, so I decided to make a separate page tab for these listings. If you're on mobile, this is accessible with the pull down menu by the word blog. Still, full post after the photo.

Things To Do In San Diego: December 1-4, 2014

I wish I could say I had an amazing week off, but in reality I was mostly sick the whole time, so besides Thanksgiving with my family and seeing Hunger Games, I didn't do much of anything except watching crap television and working. I'm hoping to kick this cold soon and get back to the slow crawl of December. I'm hoping this is the month I finally clean out my studio to make it a functional guest space/office, but it's got a long way to go to get there. Tonight is our last show at the Theatre until New Year's Eve, so maybe I'll find some time to make some progress. Monday through Thursday archives are after the jump.

Things To Do In San Diego: November 27-28, 2014

I hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving. It was less than a month ago that we feared the worst for my dad and he's still here with us so it is awesome to have most of the family home and we're definitely thinking about my brother who is on deployment. There's a lot of cool stuff happening around town this weekend and the listings are after the jump. We also have a Black Friday/Shop Small Saturday offer for The North Park Theatre- $32.50 for New Year's Eve tickets!

Things To Do In San Diego: November 24-26, 2014

I am so looking forward to this week. Stuff at The North Park Theatre has slowed down so I can focus back on all the fun Casbah stuff over the next couple months. Nova's off school this week, and we definitely make the most of the time she's with us before the holiday. It was a great weekend- Friday night at SoundDiego Live was so awesome, and hanging out with the SoundDiego team at Livewire after was pretty great, too. I guess Gmail finally caught up with the Chrome update that was making it so painfully slow, so I spent the rest of the weekend catching up on the backlog of email that had been negging me for awhile, and let me tell you that feels great to work through 2300 emails and feel like I might actually get a couple days off of work. I even snuck in a date night with Darren. I did the listings through Sunday to give Jordan a break. Let me know if I missed anything, especially the places that will be open Thursday night. Monday through Wednesday listings are after the jump.

Aaaand exhale.

It's first come, first served and you have to have RSVP'ed, so I hope to see lots of my beautiful friends there tonight. Next week is Thanksgiving and I'm definitely giving thanks to all the awesome things that are happening.

TV On The Radio at KCRW

A few weeks back, local drummer and one of my besties, Jake Najor, spent a week in LA rehearsing and performing as a fill in drummer for TV On The Radio, who are out on a promotional tour for their latest release, Seeds, which dropped this week. No stranger to the band after recording with them earlier this year, it was pretty exciting news. I mean, as far as I'm concerned they should just take him on tour. And while they're at it, they should just start their tour at The North Park Theatre. Anyway, Hannah from Sounddiego did a great piece on it earlier this week, but now the performance is available in it's entirety. Enjoy!

Things To Do In San Diego: November 13, 2014

Darren and I had an awesome night after I got off work from The Irenic. We went to see J Mascis at the Casbah, then had a couple beers at The Hideout. The only problem is that today it feels like every little thing is super annoying. Maybe a direct correlation. Some people get hangovers, I just want to kick everyone's ass. Tonight should be fun with Flying Lotus at the Theatre. If you're not doing anything later, supposedly Macauley Culkin is doing a DJ set at the Hideout after his show with The Pizza Underground at Casbah.

Wednesday Night at The Casbah: J Mascis and Luluc

After hearing the new J Mascis stuff all over XMU, I can't believe tonight's Casbah show isn't sold out, but you know, we're San Diegans and we never plan ahead and we don't subscribe to satellite radio and we only care about a show AFTER it is already sold out. Whatever. Tickets will be available at the door tonight, but it's only two bands, so don't be late because J could start as early as 10:30. If you want to be on the safe side and buy advance tickets, grab them here until around 6pm.
I'll be there after I'm done working at Hot Water Music at The Irenic (which is a REALLY early show...I don't have set times but shows END at 10pm, so do some reverse math and figure it out. Doors at 7pm.)

Things To Do In San Diego: November 10-12, 2014

It was a busy weekend and this week is going to be nutso. I loved our Thursday show at the theatre with Rhye and then I was up super late to prepare our onsale for the 2nd Ms Lauryn Hill show at The North Park Theatre. There are just about 100 tickets left, so don't wait to buy. Friday was awesome at the Brewer's Takeover of the Guild Fest and Saturday I got the night off work and cruised around North Park with Eric from SoundDiego. Sunday was awesome bike riding around Hillcrest and Banker's Hill for CicloSDias. We've got killer shows at Casbah, Irenic and The Theatre this week, so I hope to see some of you out and about. Monday through Wednesday archives are after the jump.

CicloSDias: Hillcrest & Banker's Hill Open Streets on Sunday

CicloSDias is back! For the third time, San Diego is closing 2 miles of streets to vehicular traffic so people can walk, bike, roll, scoot, and skate freely on our city streets. The first two events were incredible, with thousands of pedestrians and bikes taking to the streets for the first CicloSDias that ran from Downtown through South Park, North Park, and ending in City Heights and the second one which closed major corridors in Pacific Beach. This time around, the streets run in Bankers Hill and Hillcrest, which also means easier bike access to Balboa Park. The open streets event is free and open to all ages and abilities and runs from 10am-3pm. For more information, check out the website here.

Beloved Newscaster Larry Himmel Passes Away

I guess I missed the news yesterday. I'm not the kind to get sentimental about celebrities dying, especially local celebrities, but there are some personalities that are just larger than life. Most people felt some sadness when Junior Seau died, and this year with Tony Gwynn, Loren Nancarrow, and now Larry Himmel all dying, San Diego is surely feeling the losses but can also be grateful for the talents and gifts left behind by these human beings who were all so devoted to their crafts and their community.
We are saddened to report our beloved colleague Larry Himmel, CBS News 8's legendary reporter, humorist and consummate broadcaster died Wednesday evening following his brave battle with cancer. Larry was 68 years old. -CBS8

Video: Young The Giant at The North Park Theatre


On Wednesday, Young The Giant played an FM 94/9 Loud@Lunch show at The North Park Theatre. Somehow my playlist got all jacked around, but here's the video playlist (out of order) of the performance.

Things To Do In San Diego: November 6-9, 2014

So. Yesterday I was trying to put together a blog post with photos from recent shows and I realized that I am averaging about 200 photos per show I attend. Sifting through that is just not something I have time for, so hopefully you follow my Instagrams or Twitter or Facebook to see that I haven't just been slacking around. Between work and shows and my days with Darren and Nova and coping with my dad's ailing health, things have been pretty insane. All that said, life is pretty sweet, and San Diego is abundant with great ways to fill your days, an incredible and vibrant music scene, and this weekend kicks off Beer Week! There are so many events, so I just provided a link to #SDBW events and you'll have to sift through and figure it out for yourself. Friday through Sunday listings are after the jump.

Things To Do In San Diego: November 3-5, 2014

It's a new week and a new month, and after Halloween, perhaps our favorite bars and venues forgot that we still need their calendars to know what is going on this month! So listings this week are limited and short, but there are some gems this week, so don't decide that the rainy weekend marked your hibernation from the music scene. Monday through Wednesday archives are after the jump.

Friday, October 31, 2014

Things to Do In San Diego: October 31-November 2, 2014

It's Halloween and my head is so scattered I completely forgot about SoundDiego Live in the listings. Have fun tonight, be safe, use Uber or Lyft or whatever you have to do to be safe on the roadways and keep our streets safe for trick or treaters. Friday through Sunday archives are after the jump.

Thursday, October 30, 2014

Things To Do In San Diego: October 30, 2014

I'm not really sure why my listings posted funny last night, but here's an update with your weekend listings. The #SocialFresh conference was sweet, Darren and I had a fun date night after that included stops at Barley Mash, The Hideout, Soda Bar, and Til-Two Club. This weekend is going to be nuts and though I'm not into the whole adults in costume thing, I am sure lots of people are planning some big Fridays. Thursday archives after the jump.

Things To Do In San Diego: October 29, 2014

This week has been nuts. At the moment, I'm in the #SocialFresh conference at the #OmniSanDiego learning all about webby stuffs with a bunch of like-minded nerds who are all losing our eyesight by staring at our mobile devices all day long. This week we put tickets on sale for Ms. Lauryn Hill, many of the tickets sold in presale and the rest sold in about 4 hours, so thanks for making my job easy. Don't forget Cut Copy is already sold out and Ziggy Marley is almost sold out, so check out tickets now if you're hoping to go. If you have will call tickets, I'd recommend arriving early to get your tickets, even if you leave for dinner or drinks or whatever. For all the upcoming shows, go to TheNorthParkTheatre.com. Meanwhile at the Casbah, there's plenty of good stuff happening, too, and Friday is already sold out, so don't snooze on tickets for other shows or you'll be like the girl crying to me last night that I just ruined her life because she didn't get tickets to a show. Wednesday archives are after the jump.

An Update on The Che Cafe at UCSD

The following is a message from The Che Cafe with an update of their eviction from the UCSD campus. While I can't say as a 38 year old woman, I don't spend much time at the Che these days, but it was definitely a destination for me and my friends through high school, into college, and even beyond college. One of my favorite shows of my life, Shelter, was at the Che, as was this amazing performance art piece by Zach de la Rocha preceeding an Inside Out show. It is also the first place I ever got to see Rocky Votolato, who as you may well know by reading this site, is one of my all-time favorite musicians. If you can make it out to support any of the activities of the Che as they fight this out in court, please represent for all us veterans who hoped the torch would be passed on for Millenials and post-Millenials and beyond. Full text of the Change.org update below with links, dates, and information to help.

Things To Do In San Diego: October 27-28, 2014

I had a crazy busy weekend that was super awesome. Alt-J were incredible at Soma- despite it being sweltering in the venue-, the Warpaint show on Saturday was awesome and then I ended up going to Viejas on a whim with my friends which was crazy fun, and then Tennis on Sunday was pretty great, too. We have a big concert announcement for the theatre today, so stay check back around 10 for that. We also have big shows this week, with Tycho on Wednesday, Cut Copy on Friday, Ziggy Marley on Saturday, and Carla Morrison on Sunday. Tuesday through Thursday listings are after the jump.

Things To Do In San Diego: October 24-26, 2014

Yesterday was awesome with Bear Hands and Fences at The North Park Theatre. I followed up with some tequila at home while I relaxed for a minute, then went to Seven Grand to meet up with Jake where I caught a set from The Midnight Pine, and then hung out at Bar Pink for a little while before calling it a night. It's definitely a bonus that our theatre shows mostly end so early. This weekend is going to be great, with a private Alt-J show by day, their sold out show by night, and then Warpaint & Vacationer on Saturday and Tennis on Sunday, but tonight, it's all about the besties. sddialedin.com got an "honorable mention" in the "best music blog" category, but I was beat by SoundDiego, which I written for nearly every single day (I usually skip New Year's Day and Thanksgiving) since 2010, so it's still a win. Thursday through Sunday archives are after the jump.

Wednesday, October 22, 2014

Things To Do In San Diego: October 22-23, 2014

I'm at the theatre at the moment and it's a show day which means there's lots of energy and everyone is buzzing around getting things ready for Bear Hands and Fences. This is super special because it's the anniversary bash of FM 94/9 as well as the anniversary of Car2Go. If you're a Car2Go member, the first 100 people get an array of catered food and the first 400 get into the show for free. For everyone else, tickets are only like $13 cash at the box office and it's going to be a blast. I hope to see you all down here.

Things To Do In San Diego: October 20-21, 2014

It appears that the massive tours have slowed down and maybe this week is a good one to take a breath after I worked 5 straight nights of shows last week plus going to four others. Nova's fall break is over, too, so we can settle into fall a little bit. Even my cat decided that she doesn't really want to be an outdoor cat anymore, which is great since she never really embraced me moving out of the downstairs studio and into the upstairs. There are still some good shows this week so your listings through Thursday are after the jump.

Things To Do In San Diego October 17-19, 2014

This week has kicked my ass, but it has also been pretty awesome. That Real Estate party on Monday was awesome, then I worked Tuesday and Wednesday at the Irenic then went to Casbah for Mutual Benefit, then we had that amazing Washed Out show at the Irenic, followed by 6 hours of work to get these here listings, prepare for my Yellowcard interview, and send out newsletters and all that really fun stuff. There are cool things all over the place tonight and throughout the weekend. Of course I'll be at The North Park Theatre tonight and tomorrow, but I'm also hoping to make it for some Rubblebucket and/or Perfume Genius tonight and catching my friends Writer who are back in town tomorrow. If I wasn't working, however, I would definitely swing by The Boulevard Market Grand Opening and the IACON open house, so go represent for me. Friday through Sunday arhives are after the jump.

Things To Do In San Diego: October 15-16, 2014

I'm getting ready to head to The Irenic to work the Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties show and I thought I'd update listings. It has been a busy week but I love the energy of watching last minute ticket sales or scrambling to buy Ryan Adams tickets or trying to get people excited about multiple shows at different venues on the same nights. This week someone told me that blogging isn't a job. Ha. Ha. Ha. Thursday listings are after the jump.

Mike Halloran Named Program Director at 91X

Halloran teaching Nova how to work the boards back in May 2014
I can't believe I forgot to post this news yesterday! I can't even go into what Halloran has meant to me over the years, back when I was a kid growing up listening to 91X and then through all his other endeavors like The Flash and trying to get his voice in when he was at that weird Y-something station in Riverside, and when FM 94/9 first flipped and I called in and was the official 13th listener. Of course he's been back at 91X for a while now and over the past 6 weeks or so, many wondered if the Program Director spot would go to someone from San Diego and within the 91X staff (as it should) or if the station would try to bring in new blood. Clearly they went with the right choice by choosing someone already in the family. He's a mentor to many, and I'm happy to call him a friend. 

Here's the press release:
Mike Halloran will take the reigns as Program Director at 91X, effective immediately.
“Halloran,” as he is known on-air, came to San Diego from Detroit in 1986, to work on-air on 91X when the station was still adapting an alternative rock format. He quickly became known for his encyclopedia-like knowledge of music, eccentric presentation, and ubiquitous presence at local concerts and lifestyle events. 
After leaving the station in the 90’s, Halloran returned to 91X in 2012 as the afternoon drive DJ from 2:00 – 6:00 PM. Halloran will retain the same on-air shift while inheriting PD responsibilities. 
“Does this mean I get to finally know where the keys to the prize closet are?” said Halloran. “In all seriousness, I am more than honored.” 
“Halloran’s knowledge of the brand, the city, and the music are a huge asset to the station,” said Joe Lindsay, Director of Operations and Programming. “He is passionate and has a deep respect for 91X and the staff. I am looking forward to him leading the team to another level and exceeding the expectations of the audience.”

91X (XTRA-FM) is owned and operated by Local Media San Diego, a privately held San Diego-based company. LMSD also operates Z90.3 (XHTZ-FM) and Magic 92.5 (XHRM-FM).

Things To Do In San Diego: October 13-14, 2014

Last night was awesome. Rob Crow was hosting karaoke at the Hideout and we had a blast, and though I'm not a big fan of Mondays, today was nice because Nova came home bright and early in the morning since she has another week off school for Fall Break.

Everyone is asking about tonight's Casbah event, so I'll tell you that doors are at 8pm and they allowed way more RSVP's than capacity will allow, so get there early. Show should be over around 11. I also thought I'd mention that Ryan Adams announced a show in San Diego at Symphony Hall on December 15. There's a presale on Wednesday at 10 and the official onsale is Friday at 10. I can't be certain, but the password I've been hearing is GIMME. A ticket buying secret is once you have tickets in your cart, BUY THEM. If you change your mind or decide you want more tickets or you want to see if there's another section, you forfeit your tickets and go to the end of the digital line. Don't let this happen to you!! Monday and Tuesday archives are after the jump.

Things To Do In San Diego: October 12, 2014

It has been such a great weekend. On Friday night I caught Dawes at the Casbah and Saturday did Taste of North Park and went to Long And Short Of It's record release at Soda Bar, then convinced Darren to quit work early to hang out for some drinks. I bounced out of bed today feeling great and productive and cleaned all morning and got the listings done so that I can try to go work on cleaning my office/storage/studio (finally!). Thanks to ACL for broadcasting all weekend or I probably would've been much less inspired. Sunday archives are after the jump.
