Things to Do In San Diego: February 6-8, 2015

It shaped up to be a pretty great week. Bob's memorial, while sad, was also quite celebratory and the warmth and goodness he exuded was apparent at the Casbah on Wednesday night and will stay with us always. Darren, Nova and I braved the beach, though sunny in La Mesa did not translate to sunny on the coast. Still it was peaceful on the mostly empty beach at low tide. This weekend has a lot of fun stuff going on. I'll be at Aziz Ansari (Thank you, FM 94/9!) and Generationals tonight, then trying to make myself useful at The Observatory on Saturday. Maybe I can snag some last minute tickets to Avett Brothers on Sunday, but if not, I'm sure it will be a fabulous and sunny Sunday to enjoy with my love. Saturday and Sunday listings are after the jump.
