Things To Do In San Diego: May 29-June 1, 2014

I gotta tell ya, I am sooo looking forward to the weekend. Last week's illness held me hostage most of the week, and though it was really fun working for SOHN and Crystal Fighters this week, along with my usual daytime stuff at work and evening stuff with Darren and Nova, and well, lets just say I will be enjoying this weekend immensely. You can find me at 207 tonight, and the plan is to hit X-Fest and the County Fair preview party on Friday, and maybe end up at MIA. I'll probably check out Punk Rock Karaoke on Saturday, and then Sunday I'm working for Pete Yorn, but if I get up early enough, I'd love to see Aloe Blacc again. I wish I could find the time to see Mariachi El Bronx, but it's just not in the cards this time around. Hopefully your weekend is jam packed with fun stuff, too. Thursday through Sunday archives are after the jump.
