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

Finn and Jake say it best with an "arrmiigard". Yes, that is OMG to the rest of us and I am effed in the head when it comes to adequate sleep because, you know, I work at The North Park Theatre and The Casbah, and both entities love to spring last minute shows on me and make sure I'm flooding social media. So how about me giving you a preview? Today we announce an amazing band doing a Rick James tribute and tomorrow I get to announce lesbian twin sisters for an upcoming show. Um, yeah. Buy your tickets because these will sell out. Saturday and Sunday listings are after the jump.
