Things To Do In San Diego: Friday, April 10- Sunday, April 12, 2015

Nova's Spring Break has come to an end. It was a fun week- lots of tree climbing and park time and archery and skating and farmer's market and dinners with my family and on and on, I only wish I wasn't so slaughtered with work this week to partake in more of the fun. I did hit a few shows this week- Drive Like Jehu, Kimbra, and The Preatures- and this weekend will be a busy one since I'm working at the Irenic tonight, going to see It's Gonna Blow! at midnight, plus a whole bunch of stuff this weekend, like the Balboa Park Celebration, and of course, #Couchella. Have a great weekend, y'all. Saturday and Sunday listings are after the jump.
