Things To Do In San Diego: January 16-18, 2014

We're halfway through January and the weather has been unbelievable here. Take advantage of the beauty around you. The full moon and dry air lent itself to a nice nightime bike ride with Nova and Darren and we've just been brainstorming on other fun things we can do on the cheap merely by taking advantage of the weather- Mission Trails, Torrey Pines, San Diego River Bike Path, and Cowles Mountain top my list. It was nice taking last night off, but tonight is the very sold out X show, tomorrow the very sold out Penetrators, and the 4 tickets away from selling out Buck-O-Nine show on Saturday. We'll also be hauling the Casbah anniversary merch to the Irenic on Saturday evening for the School of Rock show. There's other great stuff this weekend- like Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blond at The Griffin and Maria Taylor at Bar Pink. I'm particularly looking forward to Volcano Choir at the House of Blues on Sunday. It's gonna be a good weekend for sure. Thursday through Saturday archives are after the jump.
