Things To Do In San Diego: August 25-28, 2014

What a nice and chill weekend I had. I actually sat through the entire VMAs with my sister and nieces which was incredibly entertaining.This week is much more mellow than last week so I feel like I can breathe a little. Still, there are a lot of good shows this week, so you'll definitely see me out and about. For many, this is the last week of summer, so enjoy the gifts that living in San Diego provides. Tuesday through Friday listings are after the jump.
